THEY ARE SATISFIED AND SOME INSIST THAT

ELECTION rs THROWN rSro THE HOUSE
MEMBERS OF THE OLD PARTIES RELIEVED AT
TIE RESULT OF THE CONVENTION.
The nomination Of Gen. Weaver by the peo-
pies party has caused something closely ap-
preaching a sigh of relief among both republi-
can and democratic members of the House.
Both sides have, it may be said, been looking
toward Omaha with q good deal Of anxiety,
| and among members of both Of the older parties
the confession is freely made today that the
nomination at Omaha Of some very great man,
with no past entanglements, would have placed
an element Of doubt in the campaign. which
would have greatly complicated the situation.
The nomination q Gen. Weaver however In place
OF some such man as Gresham or KYLE is con-
s1dered by republicans and democrats a.
greatly simplifying the affairs. and bringing il
down to square Sight between the two parties.
How ONE REPUBLICAN FEELS.
Said one republican member this morning:
II don't mind allowing now that In case Of
Gresham or kyle's nomination should have
greatly feared the result from a republican
stood q fine chance Of carving n num-
Der Of western states and Of throwing the
election into the House. Mr.. Weaver, on the
other hand, with his record behind him, do
not believe can combine the strength in any
formidable manner, and we will have q fight 70
finish between the two old parties"
The peoples party Representatives In the
House, however, do not take this view OF the
matter by any means and are very well satisfied
with the situation this morning. The Repre-
sentatives have united In signing a telegram to
Gen. Weaver which SAYS: "Accept our earnest
greetings and congratulations on your nonina-
tion as the coming President Of the United
States"
ALLIANCE MEMBERS CHEERFUL
The alliance members are very cheerful and
are loud in praises Of the platform and the can
didate- They count confidently on throwing
| the election into the House and express belief
in electing Gen. Weaver in that body. Mr.
Watson of Georgia is enthusiastic over the
platform and is very well satisfied with
the candidates. He believes thoroughly
that the peoples party are on top
party in his own state-Georgia. The Novem-
Der victory, he believes, will be preceded by
peoples party triumph in the October state
election. Mr.. Watson quotes an evidence Of
the growth Of his party's doctrines in Georgia
the recent county election in Hancock county
democrats eKerted every energy to obtain q VIC
tory, in order to say that the peoples
party had been repudiated in Mr.. Wat
sons home county. A big mass meeting
was held at the county seat, at which
the democratic side was thoroughly presented
There were no peoples party speakers, but, in
spite Of all efforts, the county gave q peoples
party triumph by vote Of two TO one.
MR. DAVIS Is WELL SATISFIED.
One Of the most earnest and ablest of the
peoples party Representatives in the House is
Mr.. Davis Of Kansas Mr., Davis is well salts
fed with the present situation and looks for
ward to victory for his party. Speak
ing of the ticket and platform
Mr.. Davis said: "I am very well
pleased with the ticket, and the platform SO far
as 1 have studied 1t seems to be a splendid
document and meets the enthusiastic ap-
proyal of the peoples party Represent
atives here. 1t Is q ciean-cut expression
of doctrine, Some people just at
stronger man than Gen: Weaver might have
been nominated. but as the smoke clears away
have an idea Gen. Weaver will be found as
good vote getter as any one who could be
"He is a worker, and an able worker, and
don't see in his long public career he has made
many mistakes. Possibly he has made enemies,
but what Of that; he has more than turned the
balance by making firm friends Of men who
will get out and work with their coats
off. The nominee for Vice President do not
know personally, but have so much confidence
in the good sense Of the Omaha convention
that have no manner of doubt he is an able
and strong man."
THINKS WEAVER WILL WIN.
Mr.. Davis believes firmly that a peoples
party President will occupy the White
House after the 4th Of March. His opinions
~.
in my opinion" said Mr.. Davis, "a sim
pie proposition Of two gold candidates
and one silver. Even il the silver bill should
pass the House it is generally believed that Mr..
Harrison would veto it. There is, then, no
hope for silver in a republican administration.
Mr.. Cleveland likewise would put an
effective check on any silver legislation. A
democratic victory, therefore. would not re-
suit in any relief. The only hope. then, is q
peoples party President. How is this to be
brought about? Our party confidently expects
to carry at this election Kansas, Ne
western silver states. In the south
We count confidently on Georgia, with more
than fighting show in Texas, North Carolina
and South Carolina. These states, or only a
few Of them, would throw the election into the
House. with whatresult? The election will be by
states and New York's vote would only be
one. There are twenty-three or twenty-four
silver states in the House and in the end the
votes of these states would go to the peoples
candidate"
WILL CAREY KANSAS.
Mr.. Davis is Of opinion that there il no
doubt of bis party carrying Kansas this fall.
The democrats, he thinks, will indorse the peo-
ple's party candidates and the ticket will 90
through by 60, 900 majority. Mr.. Davis will have
a fight in his own district, but has no doubt Of
the result.
"The republicans have nominated Q man
already" he said, "and the democrats will also
probably put up ticket. Last election we
had 2,100 majority over the other two
candidates. and since this four republican papers
in the district have come over to our views.
This elbows the trend Of opinion, and have no
doubt that the peoples party viii carry the dis
trict by greatly increased majority"
