of New York.
THE OMAHA ROUNDUP.

racy and third partyism made possible
only by the arbitrary unseating of Leg
ally elected Republicans in the South
Dakota legislature, should have re-
ceived favorable consideration as the
nominee of a party, whose only mission
in the coming campaign is to carry
enough Republican states to throw the
election of president into Democratic
house of representatives. And it is also
quite as fitting that Boss Loucks, who
did what he could to prevent Kyle's
election and who has fashion of turn
ing down every man in the party WHO
threatens his own supremacy, should
have deliberately defeated the nomina-
tion of this noted Tndecrat ut Omaha
~
Chairman Loucks in his speech at
Omaha said:
Why, 1 have been told that it would
not be safe to nominate a man who had
been Greenbacker. You have got to
nominate man who has either been a
Greenbacker or a gold bug-take your
choice. Bless your soul, this movement
was begun by Greenbackers. 1t is on
the principle of the original Green
hackers that this movement is founded.
And straightway the convention NOM
mated Original Greenbacker Weaver
and declared for fiat money and the sub
treasury plan.
**
The peoples party should have a new
plank in it's platform, according to Mrs.
Lease in speech at Omaha, seconding
Weaver's nomination. She said:
Give us Gen. Weaver and not only
the mothers, but the very children will
battle for him. Give him to us, and we
will drive from American shores the
English and Irish with their stolen
goods.
EARLY in the day Kyle wired the con-
vention:
have wired Loucks not to present
my name. do not wish the nomina-
tion, and cannot accept it.
Following this Taubeneck and other
prominent members Of the party tele-
graphed Kyle, insisting that he allow
his name to be presented as the chances
seemed favorable for his nomination.
To this the following reply was re-
ceiycd:
| have wired Loucks and Washburne
that could not accept. If the conven-
tion is determined on me l presume L
cannot refuse if it is necessary to har-
moniZc.
Then, Just as the convention showed
signs of concentrating on Kyle Boss
Loucks got in his fine work and South
Dakota's junior senator got 265 votes
out of oyer 200.
Bob Schilling made the following
confession in urging Kylc's nomination:
There is no man whom would
sooner vote for than our grand old
standard bearer, Gen. Weaver, but we
want the votes of others besides oul
own people, and that is the reason why
we do not want to adopt the name o.
any member of the old guard. do moi
dare run for Office in my own state be-
cause our enemies will say l am green
back crank, anarchist, socialist. Bet
ter select some man who has not made
himself obnoxious to men in our ranks
i propose to second the nomination O
Senator Kyle, of South Dakota.

One of the most disreputable feature:
of this Fourth of July gathering was
the persistent attempt to bunco judge
