temporary chairman, and in his speech

at the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion messages of congratulation were
read from various party leaders. The
reading of the following communication
provoked great applause:
1.-THE subscribers here desire to ten
der you our utmost thanks. Nothing
would please us better than to meet
with you, that we might clasp hands and
exchange with you words of encourage
ment as CO. workers in the great struggle
now going on between the people and
those who live and fatten through class
laws and the violation of law. But,
however pleasant it might be for us to
meet and enjoy general handShaking,
yet in our opinion those who are lot
delegates should remain here to watch
over the work which the people have
given us to do.
1.-The two Wall street parties have
held their conventions. They have
nominated their candidates and are
marshaling their hosts. One side is
engaged in putting the rascals OUT
the other in keeping the rascals OUT
"They have no aims nor objects but
the spoils of office, while the people are
sinking from atfiuence to poverty, and
labor on our farms, factories, shops and
mines Is dying of starvation and by
Pinkerton bullets. 1t is the mission of
our new party, then, to restore to the
people their GOd-giyen rights and the
Scepter of the government; to restore
the people their lands and their confiS-
Gated highways and to wrest from cor
porations and roney kings the control
of the peoples money and all the other
appliances of commerce and of our
Christian civilization.
..We have full faith in your united
wisdom. We believe that you will Sc
lect for our great party of the people
standard bearers who are worthy of the
times and the occasion, and you will
arrange the necessary details for Wig
OrOuS and successful campaign.
"The times are auspicious. Men are
everywhere surrendering their party
prejudices and trampling under foot old
party lines. They are crying out on all
sides-NOrth, South, East and West
What must we do to be Saved?'
LET US on with the work so nobly
begun by our patriot fathers, that the
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people shall not perish

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE.

This statement was made by Presiden,
Weihe today. He refused to say what
took place. in the conference yesterday
or whether the trend of affairs looked
like settlement or not. There is diff
ference of 81 per ton in the price of pud!
ding in the two scales. The manul
facturers still want to pay $3.50 per ton;
while the workers are still demanding
$3.50. MIR. Weihe refused to say whether
there was likely to be compromise on
these two figures or not.
1t was stated today at the headquar!
tiers of the amalgamated association that
the men would not recede from their po-
sltlon on any material point. 1t is as
serted that the workers have $3.50, 600 OF
defense fund. and that this amount
wilt be increased to half a million dol.
lars if necessary, which will be used in
battling against the manufacturers.
This is the largest amount of money
ever known to be in the possession Of
one labor organization at one time.
There are no new developments in
the situation from the standpoint of the
manufacturers. They say they are de-
termined to carry out their decision and
insist on reduction. Secretary Mad
den, of the amalgamated association,
stated that one more signature to the
chief scale was received this morning.
1t was that of the Bristol Iron works, Of
Bristol, Pa. This concern is bar iron
and pudding mill, and employs over
2UU men. ---->--r--,.

and now that Gresham is out of the
race. all local interest is gone, and even
Omaha will no longer do reverence to
the Peoples party. Donnelly says they
will stay in session all night Monday, if
necessary, to make nomination on the
Fourth. They are bound to masquerade
as issuers of a new declaration of lnde-
pendence.
Peace and Harmony.
OMAHA. July 2.-The first days ses-
sion of the convention has been har-
mOniOus one and promises we'll for the
future of the great independent organ
iZatiOn. Instead of those tumultuOus
scenes usually incidental to meeting
OF the Heterogeneous elements that COM
pose great amalgamated convention
OF this kind, tOday'S session has par
taken rather of the character of a love
feast.
At the close of the afternoon session
an adjournment was taken until Mon
day morning at s O'Clock when the per-
manent organization will be made and
the reports of the committee on rules
and resolutions presented and adopted.
After that will come the nomination of
candidates for the presidency, and vice.
presidency.
An informal session is to be held
tomorrow afternoon for memorial eX-
erciseS in respect to the memory of
President Polk, of the Farmers Alli-
ance and Industrial Union and other
deceased members of the organization.
Mixed on Candidates.
The convention is entirely at sea as
to the presidential ticket tonight, and
the indications are that when the roll
of states is called for the presentation
OF candidates for the presidency, at
least dozen names will be placed be-
fore the convention. The telegram
from Judge Gresham this after
noon, curtly informing Gen. Wea-
yer, Eon. IgnatiuS Donnelly and others
that he would not accept the nomina-
ton on any platform, settles all doubt as
to Gresham'S nomination, and he is no
longer mentioned in connection with
the nomination.
The candidate most freely mentioned
tonight is Hon. James 3. Weaver, of
Iowa, and there is little doubt that he
will lead upon the first ballot although
there are so many candidates in the
6eld that it is quite improbable that
any nomination will be reached until at
least two OF three ballots have been
taken.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada; Senator
KYLE, Hon. Ignatlus Donnelly, of Min
nesota; Senator John p. Jones, of Ne
vada, and Paul Vandevoort, promi-
nent g. A. r. man, are few of those
mentioned in connection with the pres
idential nomination. 1t is very probable
that dozen favorite sons will come
into public prominence before the con-
vention opens Monday.
Partisan. Preferences.
There are slight indications that the
delegates who go to make up the party
convention are not likely altogether to
forget their former affiliations in ballot
ing for the presidency. The Farmers
Alliance people are disposed to favor
presidential candidate who has been an
active member OF the Alliance. The

OMAHA, Neb., July 2.-The Peoples
party convention is in cave of gloom
tonight. They had confidently counted
on Gresham accepting the nomination,
and when Weaver and Donnelly wired
him this morning it was expected a
favorable reply would be received.
When a flat-footed refusal to accept
was received it was serious blow.
There was kind of solemn stiffness
which fell with duh thud upon the
delegates. They do not want to fall
back on Weaver or DonnelIy, but that
Is about all that is left for them to do.
AT a caucus of Kansas and some other
delegates tonight it was decided to
bring out Senator Kyle, of South Da-
kota, as presidential candidate in
preference to Weaver.
There is great disappointment over
The small attendance. There are 1856

OMAHA, July 2.-Chairman Taube-
neck called the Peoples party conven-
ton to or at 11:05 today. and at once in
trOduced Chaplain Diffenbacher, of the
Nebraska house OF representatives, who
made the opening prayer. When the
chairman introduced Mayor Bemis, of
Omaha, to welcome the delegates, he
was received with hearty cheers, ana
his speech was frequently Interrupted
with loud applause. 1t was evident
from the first that the convention was
destined TO be wildly enthusiastic. At
the conclusion of the address the con-
yention gave three tremendous cheers
for the mayor of Omaha.
Ben S. Terrell, of Texas, was intro
duced to reply on behalf of the conven-
ton to Mayor Bemis' address of well
come, and did SO in vigorous and COM
plimentary speech, which was received
with applause at frequent intervals.
He said in part: This convention is in
deed protest against present condi-
tions. 1t is utterly impossible to stay
the movement. If every leader of this
movement, care not who he is-be he

''The truth of it is,'' continued this
speaker, who was one of the most intel
ligent OF the employees questioned, 1--WE
were just as we'll off under Cleveland as
we have been since the much-praised
Mckinley bill went into effect, and as
we outlived one of his terms and helped
to elect Republican successor to him,
We don't see how we can be any worse
Off If Grover gets there again.
Such is a sample of the talk at Home
stead, and in Pittsburg, the very hot-bed
OF protection, it is even stronger. An
awful pressure is being
Brought by Politicians
to bear on the iron bars to sign the
scale, especially as it is the same as that
OF last year. The sacrifice in wages
would not amounG to $4,000, which is
not nearly as much as the firm would
have to give up to the Republican cam.
paign fund. This same firm considered
SS0, 600 small amount to contribute to
the attempt to re-elect Maj. Mckinley
to congress two years ago.
protection from American labor is
the word that has supplanted the old
cry at Homestead, "Protection for
American labor" The men have
caught on'' to the change, and are con-
tent to s9et it go at that.'7 Ii the party
of protective tariff can stand it they
say they surely can. Another expression
often heard of late among the men who
work in Pittsburg's mills is this: .sHigh
fences under high tariff, with low
wages" This will be used with telling
effect on Democratic campaign trans
parencies this fall.
The feeling at Homestead are intense.
Every man, woman or child who enters
the little town of $4,000 people is looked
upon with suspicion, and all who can't
give clear account of themselves are
marched to the depot and told to get
out as quickly as possible. Aud they
are watched, too, until they do 'get
out" The cooler heads among the men
will be dominant as long as peaceful
measures can be employed. Ihe men
have not only to fight proposed reduc-
tion in the scale of wages, but Mr.. Frick
insists upon the scale expiring Jan. /,
which would throw the men
Edle in Midwinter.
This they don't look forward to with
pleasure, to say the least. They have
had one experience of that kind, and
don't care to have another. 1t would
help the interests of the firm, though,
while it injured those of the men. and

Knights of Labor are in the same way
likely to regard with favor one who has
been identified with them. In like
manner the Radical free silver men
look very kindly toward the candidates
of the silver states; and it is probably
because of the significant numerical
strength of the silver delegates that
Senators Jones and Stewart have sud-
denly loomed into prominence.
There is bat little mention of the
vice presidency up to this hour. 1t is
quite probable that among the numer-
Gus candidates for the presidency, some
of the unsuccessful aspirants will be
centered OH for the second place.
