being put to vote it was defeated by
a viva voce vote.
Mr.. Branch then introduced Hugh
Cavanaugh OF Ohio, secretary OF the
resolution committee, who read the
following resolution unanimously
adopted by the committee:
Resolved, That this convention
sympathizes with the Knights OF
Labor in their righteous contest with
the tyrannical combine OF clothing
manufacturers of Rochester and de-
clares it to be the duty OF all who hate
tyranny and oppression to refuse to
purchase the goods made by said
manufacturers or to patronize any
merchant who sells such goods.
This resolution, after long discus
sion, was unanimously adopted.
During the Knights OF Labor discus
sion the Gresham movement received
its coup de'grace by the following dis
patch from Judge Gresham himself:
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 4, 1S92.-To j.
B. Weaver, Ignatius Dodnelly, Ben
Terrell, John w. Hayes. l must
stand by my dispatch to Mr.. Orr OF
the I'd. Accept my grateful acknowl-
tupcIilcutSs W. u. OhEShAM.
The following passed without dis
crssion:
"The peoples party, desiring at the
outset to secure permanent control OF
the party organization to the people
unaffected by the interests of those in
public service, does hereby in national
convention assembled on this, the 4th
day of July, 1892, hereby establish
this ordinance as fundamental law Of
party organization. No person hold
ing any Office or position OF profit,
trust or emolument under the federal
or any state or municipal government
| Including senator's, congressman and
members of the legislatures, state and
nationally shall be eligible to sit or
vote in any convention OF this party,
and copy OF this ordinance shall be
annexed to every call for any future
convention OF the party"
The roll OF states was then called
for nominations for president. Gen.
eral Weaver OF Iowa, Senator
Kyle of South Dakota, Paige Of
Virginia, Norton and Stanford
ford were nominated. The ballot re,
suited as follows, one ballot only
being necessary:

Frontier county, Nebraska, bore a
placard inscribed, "What is home
without mortgage? Don't all speak
at once" A picture OF a settlers
cabin was part OF it, and on the
other side, on big gold piece, was in
scribed "Tventy toller, 1892" the
OF a money lender, with long, avara-
cious nose and noticeable lack OF
chin.
Tennessee's banner pledged $4,000
votes to the new party. Virginia had
George Washington for its exemplar.
Brown of massachusetts, seized the
blue silk banner OF the Old Bay state,
with its motto, "The Spirit of 1776,"
and n coal black negro delegate put
ting his silk beaver and an American
flag on his cane, the two sprang to the
side OF old man Lloyd, the three
formed an apex at the center OF the
stage, around which all hands gather
ed. The shouting had lasted fifteen
minutes, and it was hot and tiresome.
A new freak at this moment seized
the almost delirious delegates and gave
fresh vent to hefeelings of the excited,
mammoth assemblage. The banners
and playcards were rushed down from
the stage and an impromptu process
sion, to which new adherents were
constantly received, was started
around the body of the hall in which
the delegates sat, band OF drum
mers heading the marchers.
Connecticut's banner said, "Con-
grcss, and not the people, be damned.
Shylock's twins, Grover and Ben. !"
The crowd broke forth time and again
in applause; the women joined in the
movement and getting in line marched
with their male associates, men not
in line, shouting encouraging cries OF
Fright, sister,"
The enthusiasm showed itself in
coutless eccentricities. Texas had n
coffee can supposed to represent tin
pale on the end of its pole, and
women's hats, u silk tile, and other
hradgear adorned others. The lead
era finally concluded to stem the tide,
and with vigorous efforts endeavored
for a long time, by pushing and hec.
toring their delegations, to secure or.

GREAT DESTRUCTION
WROUGHT BY CYCLONES AND
FLOODS.
Considerable Damage Done In Ohio
Illinois Suffers from tho High Winds
Lives Lost aud Buildings Wrecked
Reports Coming Slowly.

LIMA, Ohio, July 6.-Reports from
northwest of here of the damage
done by the storm of Saturday night,
continue to come ia, and are far more
serious than at first reported. AT leust
three fatalities occurred, and q large
number of cattle were killed.
NANCY GLoRING, killed twelve miles north OF
Van Vert Ohio.
MRS JOHN GoAM Ottoville, Ohio. instantly
killed
JOHN WILKLY, Allen county, Ohio, fatally in
jured.
1t seems that the storm began near
Wetzel, in Van Vert county, and
moved northeast to Douglass, in Put
nam county, where it seems to have
spent its force. The distance it trav-
eled was about twelve miles and the
track it left clear is just about one
mile in width. Travel along the line
revealed that fifty-one houses and
barns had been destroyed. One house.
just built by Fred Bone two miles
west of Ottoville, was picked up, car
ricd sixty feet, and was put down on
end. For miles within the belt there
is neither tree, fence, house, barn nor
crop standidg
Mrs. John Groam, who lives five
miles west of Ottoville, was sleeping
with her daughter when the storm
came upon them The house was
smashed into lslndling wood and Mrs.
Creams head was crushed 10 q jelly.
The daughter in the same room and her
husband and one son, who were sleep.
ing in another room, escaped with
severe injuries.
Parallel with the Ottoville terror,
another cyclone passed. 1t did its
most destructive work in German town
ship, this county. At Elida, on the
western edge of Allen county, the
house of Harry Van Mata was struck
by lightning and badly demolished

WHAT MADE HIM WEEP.


1t Wasn't the Dogs He Cared About,
But He Had Lost Confidence.
He looked a good deal more like
peripatetic peddler than like a tramp
but he wasn't just the same. and his
partner down the road behind the
fence waiting, bore tho unmistakable
evidences OF his profession, it was
away out in the suburbs and as he
went up to the house from the front
gate he cast furtivo glances about as
if apprehending an attack In the rear.
The lady OF the house answered his
knock.

They won't" she exclaimed angri-
ly. I'VE don't keep any dogs on the
place and we don't want to buy any
thing for something we've got nothing
of. DO you understand thatp Good
morning" and she slammed the door
in his face.
He smiled something more than
good naturally. and walked back to
the front gate us imperiously as a
Caesar and as fearlessly. He found
his partner and they held a consulta-
ton OF some duration.
An hour later two tramps came
over tho back fenco of that house in a
wild tumultuous tumble. leaving a dog
apiece and portion OF their pants on
the other side and went flying down
the road. At a safe distance they
paused and the one who had talked to
the lady ut the front door remarked:

HE WON'T ACCEPT 1T.
w. j. Campbell VIII Decline the Chair
manship.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July GIL. c.
Payne returned from Chicago last
night where during the day he was in
consultation with Mr. Campbell.
'Mr. Campbcll,p said Mr.. Paine,
never definitely accepted the Chair
manship Of the national COM
mittee- Recently some of his
clients among the N the p. ID. Armour
and the Chicago Gas companies, refused
to allow him to give up his law prac-
tice for the rest of the year, as it would
be necessary for h m to do so TO con-
duct the campaign. AS consequence
Mr. Campbell has refused the position.
''IIe left for Washington yesterday
and will be in that city in consultation
with the president to morrow. No de-
cision has been rca ched regarding the
man who shall manage the campaign.
The position of chairman of the COM
mittcc was offered to me but | was
forced to decline il, as my private bust
ness interests are too great to allow
me to give them up"
CHICAGO, July 6. William ]. Camp
bell left for Washington hastily yes
terday morning, having been called
there by urgent telegraphic messages.
Mr. Campbell declined to be inter-
viewed as to his intentions in reference
to the Craftsmanship of the National
committee. 1t is intimated, however,
among his friends that he will have
to decline the position for family
and professional reasons Mrs. Camp
bell has been quite i'll recently. Mr..
Campbell desires TO be near her. The
duties of chairman of the national com
mittee would demand his presence in
New York most OF the time until the
election is over. tits thought that If the
National headquarters can be trans
ferred to Chicago Mr. Campbell may
be induced to accept, He will confer
with the President Immediately on his
arrival at Waskinglo on and will prob
ably make known his decision to-day.

WE have imbedded in our very con-
situations provisions to forbid entails
and primogeniture. the object being
to prevent the undue concentration of
wealth in the hands OF the fow. and
the building up OF an hereditary
aristocracy of money. But the fami-
lies that possess great fortunes have
managed to bate all these efforts of
the law by the abuse OF the will
making power in obedience TO family
traditions. Only an insignificant
portion OF their enormous accumula-
tions is bequeathed for any public
good. These Accommodations are not
distributed at death by an equal APP
portionment among the children. as
our law. for wise purposes intends
but are transmitted from the father
to one son. with such portions only 10
the other children as may be granted
without leaving the main fortune loss
than it was at the beginning OF tho
former generation.
