There will be an Eastern organization, with
permanent headquarters of the Peoples Party.
At least that is the plan of George F. Wash
burne, Eastern member of the Executive Com.
mittee of the National Committee of the party,
who last week called meeting of the National
Central Committee in New York to make this
move.
A proclamation has been issued reciting that
"witbin the past four months demands have
been made in widey-separated sections of the
country on the part of the labOring classes for
the redress of wrongs" referring to the Homo
stead and Buffalo strikes and the building
trades troubles in New York. 1t is stated that
the Peoples Party is in full sympathy with
the organized labor in its efforts to improve its
conditions. but events have proved that the
only permanent improvement can be made
through the polls. The three vital principles
of the Omaha platform are urged upon organ
lied labor as the remedy for the existing con-
ditions.
The headquarters will be opened at 465
Washington street. Boston. A full State ticket
will be put up in each of the States represented
A Nebraska comrade sends US word that at
the Republican Convention of the 29th Sena-
torial District of Nebraska, held at McCook
Aug. II, there was placed in nomination for
Senator 29th District Comrade John G. Gam
mill, of Frontier County, gentleman the Re.
publicans can be proud of as soldier, q citizen
and Republican.
Capt Gammill is native of Ohio, moving to
Iowa in the early SOS. In August, 1861, he
enlisted in Co. NJ, Sd Iowa Cav, as private,
going through nearly all the grades of pro-
motion, and at the muster out of his regiment,
in August 1865. he was First Lieutenant of
his company. Was then promoted to Captain
and transferred to the 138th U. S. c. T., with
which he served until its muster out in Janu-
ary. 1866. He is now so years of age, and has
lived in Nebraska about % years. He is
man of strong convictions q ready debater and
fearless in his support of what he believes to be
right.
In Ohio there IL warm contest going on
among the Democrats for the seat of Hon. John
Warwick, who recently died. Since the cleo
ton of Congressman Warwick over Gov. Nc
Kinley the State has undergone reapportion-
ment, and it was found that there was no
district to elect his successor from. This fact
caused much trouble to the legal heads of the
section, and it became matter of question
whether he shall be chosen from the Counties
which comprised the Sixteenth District or from
the District of which Stark County, Warwick's
late home, is now q part. The Attorney-Gen.
oral has Just decided that successor shall be
elected from the old District
The Republicans will not put up any man
for Congress, as the District is now too strongly
Democratic, and Gov Mckinley is the only
man who ever had any chance of election. But
at the District Convention, to be held at Orr
vile Sept. 5, there will be hot fight for the
nomination, as there is score of able men
there whose great ambition is to sit in Con-
gress. Those mentioned now include ex-State
Representative John E. Monnot. Mr.. Warwick's
chief competitor in the former Convention;
Archie McGregor, an ex-editor and leading
Democrat; Judge Stilwel, of Holmes County,
and ex-senator Howells, of Massllon.
The Presidential canvass has opened In Vir-
gina with speech making all over the State.
There is desperate activity manifested that
has never been known before in the old Vir-
ginia. The Democrats and Third Partyites
are moro earnest than the Republicans. and
either party has out Its full array Of public
speakers.
The Democrats are growing alarmed at the
growing strength of the Third Party move
ment in the South Side, which includes Hall.
fax, dozen Counties whichShave been noted
in the past for their strong allegiance to the
Democratic party. The movement, it is a
noticeable fact, is strongest where Democracy
has had its greatest sway. There have been fail.
ure of crops and consequent hard times the op.
ponents of Democracy are blaming on the
Democrats, aud their charges fall on willing
ears
The Republicans have not yet fully uncov-
cred their plans, although they seemed to do
30 but little while ago. They are awaiting
the action of the Third Partyites, evidently.
1t is understood that Malone has given orders
to the district leaders not to put candidate in
the field where a Third Partyite has been or
was to be nominated. Malone is probably
playing waiting game with Mr.. Harrison.
The Third Party cause In Georgia is not
looking SO bright as it was few weeks ago. 1t
appears now that the Seventh. Ninth, and Tenth
are the only doubtful Districts. In those the
Third Party has fighting chance The
negroes, it is claimed, will go to the side which
has the most money. The Third Partyites in
Georgia have very little. The tide has turned.
Tom Watson looks discouraged himself Filing
ton, the new Third Party President of the
State Alliance, is not so confident. Peck the
Third Party candidate for Governor, Is ratified.
Gov Northcn opened his campaign In Peck's
own County, Rockdale, and the crowd was
solidly Democratic. Peck sat on the stage with
the Democratic speakers. More than half the
voters in the County were present. and when
asked if they were going to vote for Peck for
Governor shouted "No," as if with one voice.
At q meeting Of the Democratic State
Central Committee of West Virginia, which
was held at Wheeling on Monday, Aug.
&c. every committeeman was present
and great interest was manifested. It
was decided to make an aggressive canvass.
Reports showed that the party was being rap.
idly organized throughout the State, but that
also that there was great need of thorough or.
ganization, for in most of the Counties there is
danger to the party from the Third Party
movement, which party is strongest in Demo-
