DENVER, July 2S.-The Peoples party
convention concluded its work shortly be-
fore o'clock this evening. and the ticket
nominated was taken from the list of
names recommended by the joint confer
the Peoples party. The Silver League
convention did nothing to-day but to
adopt the report of the conference and
await the action of the Peoples party
meeting. They will. however. meet to-
morrow morning, and will doubtless ratify
to-day's work of the Peoples convention.
So it IL an out and- out fuse.
Chairman Pratt explained that the delay
in calling the convention to order was ov-
ing to desire to know the silver conven-
TONS action on the conference committees
report. He then explained that the report
had been adopted. This report be said
was the order of business for the day, and
lt looked as If the battle was about 20 be-
gin. DELEGATE Phelps. of Arapahoe. moved
that the report of the conference commit
tee lay on the table until reached and the
regular order of business be proceeded with.
The motion prevailed and the report of the
committee on resolutions was called for.
The committee presented the following
platform. which was unanimously adopted:
The Peoples party of the State of Colorado, in
convention assembled, declare that in the pre-
amble, resolutions and platform OF the Pe0p Pies
party, as adopted at Omaha. July A, 1892, 1t
classes against all forms of legislation which
enables any man 10 exploit the labor of another;
and understanding the platform in this spirit and
of men which shall recognize q unity of in
terests as opposed to the present methods
or licensed arrogance and individual and
corporate greed, IL pledges the Peoples party
of this State to a loyal, cordial and unfaltering
support or the declaration of the Omaha con
vention as a whole. and designates as of primary
RADIO that portion which declares for the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver and gold on a
ratio OF l6 to l.; Further be It ,,.
ton that our Senator'S and Representatives in
Congress not in accord with the best inter-
ssss Of Colorado ,h and her people in ,S
OF chief magistrate of the United States.
Continuing. the platform condemns the
attempted assassination of Manager Prick
and denounces the punishment inflicted by
Colonel Streator on private Iams at Home
stead and emphaticaliy opposes the en-
ployment of PInkertons or other private
armies by individuals or corporations.
In conclusion, 1t is resolved. as was also resolved
at the national convention at Omaha July 4,
that no person holding office or position of trust
or profit under the federal, State. county or mu-
nicipsI government shall be eligible to sit or
vote in any convention of this party.
Through an oversight on the part of the
resolutions committee the oman's suffrage
plank was omitted from the platform A
great howl was raised by the ladies
present, and they were seconded by many
of the male delegates As no way of cor
recting the mistake presented itself the
matter was dropped.
The reference to Colorado's representa-

was received with the Widest cheering.
1t was evident that the conyen tion was not
in favor of the action of Senators Teller
and Wolcott and Representative Town

A committee of three was appoin ted to
wait upon the candidates. whose names
