The independents Candidate Will

DC NoulIudCcu.
OMAHA, July 3.-Amid the booming
of cannon, the waving of flags, and
under the inspiration of patriotic ora
tory, the national Peoples Party con-
vention will celebrate the natal day of
the republic tomorrow by nominating
an independent candidate for president
of the United States, 1t will be a put
ting away of the old and taking up of
the new. The habiliments of the older
parties will be cast aside by the enthu-
siasts that have entered into the
new, and, donning the garbs of
apostles of reform, the crusade
against the tyranny of capital,
monopoly and plutocracy will be val
iant!y begun. "The spirit of -177e'' is
the favOrite motto of these latter-day
reformers, and much of. the Inspiration
of the hour is gathered from the fire.

and won. And so i'll a revolution alone
can these wrongs be righted. but the
revolution of today is to be wrought by
the ballot, and in the campaign that is
to come the voice of the people is to be
more powerful than the clash of arms
or the roar of cannon. 1t is true the
tocSin is to be sounded, but it is as
signal of alarm to slumbering people,
for the great victory to be won is to be
all the more triumphant because it is
the result OF a campaign of education.

but instead of whitening in the sun
shine of day has thrown its boughs to
the breezes, and towers like a young
oak above the political horizon.
Who is to be the candidate baptized
by tomorrow'S convention as the ma
tional leader of the new party no
one can possibly predict. There are
many leaders in the new party, but
none so old or tried as to be
UNANIMOUSLY accepted by the various
industrial organizations that make up
the great allied armies of this reform
movement. Only one man would be
uncOmplainlngly accepted by all, and
he is not a member of the new party.
The great jurist of Indiana remains the
popular favOrite, and although he has
stated that he would not accept the
nomination on any platform Gresham is
still tonight the candidate of an ag-
gressive faction which insists that ne
will accept the nomination if it be ten
dered him, and that the success of the
party demands that he he named. There
is every indication that, despite all that
may be said by Judge Gresham OF his
authorized representatives, his name
will be presented to the convention by
his admirers and an attempt made to
force his nomination in the enthusiasm
of the hour.
Three men loom up conspicuously to-
night as candidates for the presidential
nomination, and all these are members
of the new party. They are Gen.
