They held a convention at Omaha
and became the so-called Peoples
Party. They nominated Gen. Weaver
for president upon a platform con
tanning many beautiful and attain.
able ideals, and many old Republi.
cans and Democrats went into that
party: They put their electoral
tickets III the field in every state OF
the Union. Gen. Weaver goes to the
imperial state OF Georgia to speak,
and he was mobbed in the streets of
the cities Of that state and
to cancel his engagement
The peoples party i'll the North
were looking to the South with the
greatest anxiety for aid. And yet a
Union general, Il candidate for presi-
dent of the United States, his wife
sitting by his side, was refused the
privilege of free speech in the state of
Georgia, which drove him from the
state, and which then proceeded to
go Democratic on it's candidate for
governor by $1,000 majority. That
game, which has been played
throughout the South,is now sought
to be played in the state OF Mime
sofa. One week ago tomorrow the
papers of this state announced the
fact that theDemocratic state central
committee had kicked four electors
off their ticket and kicked four
Populists on. SO that by this; sort
OF mule propagation the Democratic
hybrid can vote five-ninths of his
convictions, and the Populist hybrid
four.
Last spring in speech made in
this state L said that the Democratic
party was party OF false pretenses
and stolen goods, but l did not ex-
pect to catch them in the act so soon.
With theinauguration of President
Harrison the Republican party pro-
ceeded to carry out it's pledges, and
the Fifty-first congress has enacted
laws more bene6cent, more enduring,
bearing more thoroughly upon.
That congress passed coinage bill
requiring the government to buy and
issue certificates against $4,000
ounces Of silver every year thereby
takingup the American product and
protecting amply the American
miner.
For Il years American beef and
American pork had been denied
admission into reports oi England,
France and Germany. These barriers
were broken down and these articles
have now been admitted.
1t refunded Il direct tax, which the
North paid, and the South never
paid, and Minnesota received $1OS, 900
as her share.
It'provided for the mail service, SO
that our mails are now carried
under the American flag.
It provided for the restoration Of
American shipping, struck down by
the hostile attitude Of England in the
hours Of rebellion.
1t passed liberal pension bill for
the relief Of old veterans.
Grover Cleveland during his time
vetoed Il pension bill for general
relief that made necessary q grca t
deal OF special pension slegisla ton.
Day after day as those BILLS went up
that veto, crueller than an assassin
knife stabbed through :. many a
Widows heart, and old soldiers
heart. How any old soldier or
soldiers boy can vote for Grover
Cleveland passes my ability to COM
prellend. Loud Applause.]
That congress did another thing.
1t passed a bill for the protection OF
American industries, the Mckinley
bill. Loud applause.]
The bill was attack from the first,
and an attempt made to strangle it
in the cradle. They did not do it.
What is the result OF that bill?
I am not. talking now about
luxuries, if any body wants to buy
Injuries let.them pay the tax. There is
no article Of necessity or use that il
higher, and that in most cases it is
cheaper than it was before the
Mckinley bill was passed. [L0uc

carpets. potteries, table ware, knives
forks, tools, implements, or. what
ever enters into the range OF human
use or consumption. Let uny thre

and will stake my reputation tina
he will prove what I say to be tru
in this respect. $50.
The Democratic party, after occupy
