GRESHAM INTERVIEWED
In Regard to His Accepting the Peoples Party
Nomination.

CHICAGO, July 4.-This evening the rep
resentative of the Associated Press called
on Judge Gresham and showed him the
following:
''OMAHA, Neb.. July 4.-The following
telegram was received from ). A. Hauser,
of Indiana, candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor of the Peoples party ticket:
II have just seen Gresham 1t unaDi-
nous he will not refuse Signed, J. A.

when he (Greshan) left indianapolis

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Twas 8 O'clock When the Convention Got
Dswn to Business.

Twas 3 O'clock Nhen the Convention Got
Dswn to Business
OMAHA, July At was 2:O7 o'clock when
the chairman called the afternoon session
to order, but it was p. N. before business
was begun.
A motion was carried that the resolu-
lions committee report such parts of the
platform as was ready. This was appar-
emily the frat move on the part of the
Weaver men TO hasten ballot
The suspicion had gained currency tina {
the committee on resolutions was not anx-
ious to make progress, for the reason that
II as whole preferred Judge Gresham for
candidate and wanted time to get an
agreement from him that he would let the
convention nominate him. The motion
was carried, but the committee reported
that it was not prepared just yet to make
even partial report.
Ward. of Missouri, moved to suspend
the rules and proceed TO ballot for the
nomination of candidates, but there was no
intention on the part of the ardent Gresham
men to give up nope, and an Illinois dele
gate raised the point of order that the mo-
tion was contrary to the rules. The chair
mansoverruled the point o. order, on the
ground that the convention could do as it
pleased. Wards molten was then tabled,
on motion OF Ellington, of Georgia.
Lamb OF Texas a Weaver man and also
working for. Terrill for vice president,
moved to adopt the entire St. Louis plat
form as the party platform. Brown Of
Massachusetts declared the st. Louis plat
form was one upon which the organizations
Of united labor stood. They didn't intend
anything to be taken from It or added to
il. If the committee desired additional
resolutions they move them. Therefore
let us adopt the St. Louis platform and
proceed with the nomination of the peoples
leader upon the principles which are to
SMASH PLUTocRAcY.
Let the nomination speeches be made ON
the Fourth of July, the natal day of the
couutry's independence.
Mcdowell of Tennessee objected to the
attempt to form precedent and Manning,
the boy orator of Alabama, added his
quota.
The effect OF the proceedings in the con-
ventiou was TO alarm the resolutions com
mittee. They became stampeded and
soon fled Oh the stage with
the platform hastily brought TO
completion Their appearance removed
the cause for the fight on the floor and the
convention became silent while Thomas
Cater of California, read the preamble of
the unanimous report Of the committee. At
the conclusion OF its reading Cater asked
that it be adopted and this was done unani
mcusly.

small pavilion on wheels which he moved
from place to place. Twenty-four years ago
he came to Belfast, which has since been his
home, his business steadily increasing until
he now has the six galleries above mention
