COUNTY CONVENTION.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM AMONG
THE PEOPLE,

The Alliance Dead, Did You Say?
No, nor ia 1t Sleeping. At
tendance and Enthusiasm Sur
passes all ExpectiOns. Dele
gates Appointed.
The VOICE was in error in suppOS-
ing last week that the county cOnyen-
tiOn of last Saturday would differ
from the usual Peoples party cOnyen-
tiOns either in size or interest, by rea-
son of the busy season. The cOnven-
tiOn was unusally large and enthuSi-
astic, Liberty hall being tested to its
full capacity. Every township in the
county, save one, illinois, was repre-
sented. Considering that there was
no business to transact but the Selec-
tiOn of delegates to the state and con-
greSSiOnal conventions, this speaks
well of the unparalleled vitality of
the Peoples party in Sumner county.
1t shows that the people are grounded
firm in the incOntrOyertible principles
enunciated first at st. Louis, ratified
at 0cala, Omaha, Cincinnati, Indian
apOliS, re-enunciated at the st. Louis
conference and soon to be represented
by standard bearers in a national con-
test. They have enlisted for the war
and are not to be persuaded from
their plain path of duty by the full
some flattery of political SycOphantS,
nor frightened by combinations of the
common enemy. Onward is the cry
until victory is ours and freedom is
restored.
The convention was called to order
ar II a. m., by the county chairman
r. Bruce Magee, who read the cal
and spoke a few eloquent words OF
cOngratulatiOn. Several soul inspir.
ing songs were sung and the audience
