It s weaver ana Field.

The peoples party national conven-
ton, which met at Omaha, nominated
Gen. James b. Weaver, of Iowa, for
president, and Gen. James G. Field, of
Virginia, for vice president. Gen.
Weaver wore the "blue, and won honor
In his country's service. Gen. Field
wore the gray" and won distinction
in the cause Of the confederacy. The
platform was adopted on the 4th of
July, and the principal work of the con-
Vention was set for that day as a me
mortal exercise, and to secure for it the
enthusiasm due to the patriotic associa-
tons suggested by the day. This plat
form consists of the st. Louis demands.
prefaced by an introduction, in which
is set forth a statement of conditions.
The political issues Of the campaign
haye now been made up, and the candi..
dates from whom the people are to Sc.
lect their chief executive are before the
country. They are all well-known men.
and each is fairly representative of the
party which will attempt to elect him.
The fire of the republicans and the
democrats will be chiefly directed at
each other, while the new party will
fearlesslg fight both OF the others. The
campaign is likely, however, to be
made on the principles represented
rather than to be personal one on the
candidates. -Kansas Farmer.

Hayseed'S Notebook.

In looking over the editorial pages of
the n. Y. Weekly Tribune, from the
9Th to the 29th of June inclusive, l find
that 1t only mentions the peoples party
incidentally. The only alluslon to the
st. Louis demands is where it speaks of
Mr.. Stevenson, democratic candidate
for vice-president, running for congress
IN 1880, as greenback and democratic
candidate "pandering to the worst
financial heresies," etc. In another ed
itorial it says that lit is necessary for
republican journals to conduct cam
paign of education" That is right.
MIR. Whitelaw Reid, editor of the Trib-
une, has been away from this country
the past three years and he should post
up and have the Tribune educating Its
readers in regard to the labor revolu-
ton, which is now on.
There are many ladies in Barber
county who would like to visit a polit-
ical convention, if they knew that it
was proper place for lady to 90. The
ladies have done much in forwarding
the peoples movement, and they should
not only be invited, but urged to attend
PEOPLES party conventions.
Mr.. Funk, chairman of the delegate
convention, held in Medicine Lodge on
June 18th, thanked the few ladies who
were present for their attendance, and
asked them to increase their number at
the coming county convention. The
party that is sending women delegates
to its state and national conventions,
should certainly encourage the presence
of the ladies at all of its conventions,

Organized capital and constituencies
thugs on the one hand, organized labor
and anarehistlct agitators on the other.
These are the two forces whose clash
threatens to disrupt the nation. The
great middle classes. the farmers, the
tradesmen, the small manufacturers,
the men of moderate means who own
their own homes and do their own bust
ness must unite in common cause,
throw themselves into the breach, and
force concessions from either side.
This is what we of the peoples party
hope to accomplish. We believe it is
this or revolution, and bloodshed we
wish to avoid, if such thing is posi-

archist Pilip Munoz has consented to
plot to kill the King of Spain, who
will be six years old on the seventeenth

in arresting Munoz, and the confession
attributed to him is that at meeting
of anarchists, it was determined to
kill the King, and that lots was
cast as 20 who should kill him.

Lawson was followed by Mr.. johnson,
Republican, of Indiana, who spoke for
MIR. Noyes. He said Mr.. Noyes came
into the contest with clean hands. He
did not seek the nomination, did not
want it, and did not accept it until
forty-eight hours after he was nomi-
mated. There was no safeguard thrown
around the ballots. They were in the
custody OF no one upon whom any re-
sponsibility rested and there was no care
taken of them with a view to possi-
ble recount. They were left exposed
SO that they could have been tampered
with, for in law they were as mere
worthless paper. Referring to the
Doyle ballots, MI. johnson said that
fictitious votes were shown from other
persons than Doyle. In concluding
his speech, which occupied an hour, he
said that the question was above and
beyond party. Gentlemen could af-
ford to deal fairly and officially with
the question. 1t was right and Just
that these litigants should have their
claims determined according to law,
justice and the principles of equity.
MIR. Bacon (Democrat) of New York,
opened the debate for the sitting mem
Der, Mr.. Rockwell, and said that the
Doyle ballots were put in simply as a
matter of Identification. Pending
further discussion, the House ad.
journed until tomorrow.
