WASHINGTON, D, G., July 5.--"Nom-
nations move favorable tothe Repub-
Iicops could not have been made. The
bsod Of the ticket is the very fellow We
wanteduamed." These were the ex-
Dressions used this afternoon by seha.
Ior Paddock, of Nebraska, in express
Ing himself upon the presidential and
vise presidential nominations by the
Peoples party at Omaha last night.
senator Paddock continued: "James B.
Weaver, Of Iowa, is the prince Of dema-
zOuues; no endorses every principle, in
tbe Democratic decalogue and a good
deal more. He is the most Insane
financial fanatic in the country. His
theories beat the most flmy views OF
the author Of the sub-treasury scheme.
Weaver would destroy our present
banking systems, repeal our monetary
IaWs and flood the country with oil the
wildcat projects which recklessness and
Ir,osnonsibility could invent. His col
league on the ticket is an unknown ex-
Confederate from Virginia: How any
man OF intelligence, and especially one
Tho had been clever enough to have
voted and acted with the Republicans at
inv time in his life, could vote Tor
Weaver and Fields, cannot conceive" !"
Men in both houses Of Congress who
represent states or districts in which
there arc strong Alliance organizations
freely expressed the opinion that the
controlling spirits in the Omaha con-
vcntion had an eye more to individuals
than principles in making their nomi-
nations, rs no intelligent voter can be
deceived by the platform adopted into
voting Tor the candidatea named.
A SLY DODGE,
Itis here thought that the principal
object in view in selecting men for the
places on the ticket who served in the
two great armies during the late war
was more to harmonize the sectional
Telling within the Alliance than to add
strength to the ticket. The ticket will
cut no figure in the Democratic ranks
in the South, in view OF the present et-
forts OF the Bourbons to detract atten-
ton from the real issues Of the cam
pagn by raising the cry against the
liOrce BILL" 1t is not believed that any
man in the Alliance ranks who has ever
been Republican can be deceived into
the support OF such rank Democrats as
Weaver and Fields. While in Congress
Weaver was n recognized Democrat,
pure and simple, but his demaSogy was
at times exasperating, even to the dull
est man in his party.
RELIEVED OF DOUBT.
From Republican point OF view the
nominations arc both extremely fortn-
nate, and will relieve tho coming con
test OF the doubt whichmight havebeen
created had real farmers or recent Re-
publicans been named. Republicans
from the Alliance states and those rep
resenting large labor Constituencies are
Congratulating themselves that the Peo'
PIES party have exposed their charac-
Ter in the nominations made at Omaha,
The records Of the candidates tell the
story SO we'll that it will not be neces'
sary in the campaignto refer to the Peo
ple's party platform or the persons
who head that ticket.
1t is stated that Representative Hen
dCrson, Of Iowa, will presently take oc'
casion to uncover the private and pub,
lie records OF Weaver, and that he will
do it upon tho floor Of the house, SC
that tho country will know the kind oi
person the Peoples party has beer
daped into givinga certificate OF respect
ability.
wAsN'T A SOLDIER
South Dakota statesmen to-day com
nented freely on tho character of'theil
fellow citizen, H. L. Loucks, whois nov
at the head Of the Farmers Alliance
and who cut q conspicuous figure in the
Omaha convention. Loucks was refer
red to in the regular press reports O
the convention as "a ona-legged vet
Cran." II transpires that Loucks first
saw this country but ten or eleven
years ago, and during the war was al
his home in Canada, where he sympa
thized' with the confederacy. He los
his leg from disease not long ago il
Dakota. Senator Pettigrew said this o
Loucks this afternoon.
