of the Southern Alliance Farmer said the scnti-
ment OF the South was for a Western man as
nominee. and Georgia suggested Congressman
ton, farmer. Geergis, he said, would
undoubtedly elect the Independent state
ticket and give the electoral
vote to the new party. c. c. Post, chairman of
the Georgia state committee, favored Western
man, but did not want Senator Stewart or Alva
Adams ss they wanted something beside free
silver and were stuck on the sub-treasury
scheme. Word was received in Omaha today
intimating that Senator Stewart, OF Nevada,
had written letter absolutely boltIng the Re-
publican party. 1t is also said that senator
Jones would do likewise and consequently the
Stewart boom has an impetus. Still there is
Weaver sentiment among the leaders.
General Van Wyck said that If Gresham posi-
lively refuses to permit the use OF his name, j.
b. Weaver will he the nominee. A free silver
platform will be adopted, this carrying the
silver states and throwing the election into the
House. Troyer of Washington, Funk OF Oregon
and Brown OF California are all Weaver men,
and say their delegations are behind them. b.
c. Edwards, delegate-at-lerge from Illinois, de-
clares that his delegation will support Gresham,
and after Gresham Weaver.
Dr. c. W. Lane, of Oakland, Is here holding
two proxies from the First California congress
sional district, and will present the name OF 5.
+. Norton. of Chicago, for the first place.
George II. Gibson, editor of the Nebraska p. m
ere Alliance, has formulated a tariff plank for
that platform which he expects the Nebraska
delegation to introduce.

that never before in the history of the Amalga-

such state OF affairs as that which now exists.
Although wage committee will confer with
