WEAVER GETS THE NOMINATION.

OMAHA, July A. To-day the
Peoples party held their first
National convention Over 1900
delegates were present, representing
the various states.
H. L. Loucks, of South Dakota,
was elected permanent chairman,
and J. H. Hayes, Of New jersey
permanent secretary.
Chairman Loucks assumed his
duty. 1t was a picturesque specta
Gle when, standing firmly on his
one leg and swinging his crutch at
arms length, he waved the great
assemblage to orders His speech,
as it progressed, was d disagreeable
surprise to perhaps D majority Of
the convention, but its impetuosity
and fire, if not its hits for and
against the candidates, elected
cheers at every few words.
LoUCK's SPEECH.
He thanked the convention for
the honor of presiding over the
"grandest, largest convention ever
held in the west, and he believed
anywhere in the civilized world"
He congratulated the convention
on the harmony which prevailed
throughout aAd tlbs6eet that no
states had been fixed up, SO that
the choice Of the people would
finally determine the nominee,
More than that, there was a spirit
abroad that the man nominated
must not only stand squarely on
the platform, but must have burned
his bridges behind him. "We
are" said he, "at a critical period
and cannot afford to take chances.
We want no doubtful man to lead
the movement. We must know
that he has been with us long
enough to have been found true, or
he will find no place here. have
heard one thing that has discouraged
me little-that we must not nom
mate one of the old guard who has
been in the front Of this movement
all the time. Did you ever hear in
a democratic or republican conven-
ton statement that because &
man was active In propagating the
democratic or republican doctrine
that he must be knocked in th,
head and sent to the rear? Why
/ have been told here that it vii
not be safe to nominate man whC
has been a greenbacker. You hav,
got to nominate a man who ha
been either a greenbacker or a golC
bug, and take your choice. Bles
your soul, this movement was begun
by greenbackers. 1t is on the prin
ciple of the original greenbacker
that this movement was founded

Death on the Rail.

Last Sunday night man by
the name of McCann, one of
the telegraph line men, met his
death while riding on a velocipede
on the Great Northern. He started
from here to Sand Point late in the
evening and when nearing the spur
Of the Northern Pacific was run
into by hand-car and instantly
killed.
1t keeps three men busy to at

Celebration.
W. H. CLAoETT THE ORATOR
An Account of the Doings at Bon
ner's Ferry on Our Great
Natal Day.

The glorious 4th was celebrated
in Bonner's Ferry in the usual
Yankee style. Some of the pro
gram had to be omitted, but there
was enough to make the day a sue
cess, and dayof pleasure for those
who participated.
The excursions on the Great
Northern were failure because the
railway company did not see fit to
furnish the trains, claiming their
road was not in condition yet for
such an event, but the steamers
Spokane, Nelson and Alton came
in loaded down with excursionists
from down the valley and from the
lake towns in British Columbia.
William Van Gasken acted as
president of the day and at the
grand stand, where the literary ex-
ercises took place, he introduced
the exercises with few happy re-
marks, explaining the difficulties
under which the various commit
tees had labored.
Collector J. e. Dolan in few
well chosen remarks introduced
the orator Of the day, Hon. VIM.
III. Clagett, who delivered an
eloquent address.

much enthusiasm. A long address
accompanied it:
PLATFORM.
We demand a national currency,
safe, sound and flexible, issued bv
the general government, a full legal
tender for all debts, public and pri-
vate, and that without using bank
ing corporations; a just, equitable,
and sufficient distribution to the
people at a tax not to exceed 2 per
cent. per annum, to be provided as
set forth in the sub-treasury plan of
the farmers alliance or better
system; also by payment in dis
charge Of its obligations for public
Improvements.
(a) We demand free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver and gold at
the present legal ratio of 16 to /.
(b) We demand that the amount
of the circulating medium bespeed-
lily increased to not less than $50
per capita.
(c) We demand a graduated in
come tax.
(d) We believe the money of the
country should be kept as much as
possible in the hands of the people,
and hence demand all state and
national revenues shall be limited
to the necessary expenses of the
government, economically and hon
estly administered.
(e) We demand that postal
savings banks be established by the
government for the deposit of the
earnings Of the people and to facili-
tate exchange.
TRANSPORTATION
Transportation being the means
of exchange and a public necessity,
the government should own and OPP
crate its railroads in the interests Of
the people, The telegraph and tele-
phone, like the postoffice, being ne
cessity for the transmission of news,
should be owned and operated by
the government in the interest Of
the people.
Land, including all the natural
fsources Of wealth, is sthe heritage Of
! the people. and should not be
monopolized for speculative pur-
poses, and alien ownership of land
should be prohibited. All the land
now held by railroads and other
corporations in excess of their ac
tual needs and all lands now owned
by aliens should be rectified by the
government and held for actual
settlers only.
At the evening session the work
Of nominating a candidate for pres
dent was taken up. Gresham
could have had the nomination but
absolutely declined. After much
speech making and many nomina-
tions a ballot was taken which re-
suited as follows:
Weaver, 995; Kyle, 275. All the
other candidates Withdrew in
favor of Weaver or Kyle.
D. G. Field, Of Virginia, was
nominated for vice-president.
Much enthusiasm was mani
tested over the nomination o
Weaver. General James B. Weaver
is the well known greenback advo
cate. He has several times repre-
sented an Iowa district in congress
and was the greenback candidate
for president in 1880.

HER IDEA OF POLITICAL sALvlrIoy.

A lecture entitled a Political saviour was denvs
cred at Trinity Baptist Church last night By Mrs.
Helen NJ Cougar. OF Indiana. In the course OF her
remarks Mrs. Cougar said We cannot license
saloons much longer If we expect to maintain the true
American home life. You all know that the liquor
dealers instead Of being considered criminals, they
ought to be- become the dictators In your citys
politics The respectable honest God-fearing people
have little voice In making laws. All honor to
Dr. Parkhurs. for his brave fight against the criminal
