PEOPLES PARTY IN COLORADO.
DENVER, July 2S.-The Peoples party
State Convention concluded it's work this
evening. The ticket nominated was
taken from the list recommended by the
Joint Conference Committee of the Silver
League and Peoples party. The presi-
Dental electors consist of one silver Re-
publican and three Farmers Alliance.
Soon after the latter met this morning
a platform was adopted which is SUBJ
stantially as follows: 1t warmly in
dorses the Omaha declarations, and de-
clares it is the sense of the convention
that our Senators and Representatives
in Congress are not in accord with the
best interests of Colorado in advocating
the election of the enemy of silver to the
office of chief magistrate of the United
States; condemns the attempted assassi-
nation Of Frick; denounces the punish
ment of Soldier Iams by Lieutenant
Colonel Streeter at Homestead, and en-
phatically opposes Pinkertonism.
Through an oversight on the part of the
Resolutions Committee the woman suf-
frage plank was omitted, greatly to the
disgust of the female delegates, but the
matter was dropped.
Some other resolutions were adopted,
among them one that the State shall close
the sale of all coal lands, hold the same
and operate them in the interest of the
people.
