OMAHA. Neb.. July 3-The candidate for tho
Peoples party for President will probably be
United States Senator James Henderson Kyle
OF South Dakota. The unorganzed opposition
to Gen. Weaver. including large majority OF
tho supporters OF Judge Gresham has. by
sharp work. to-day been centred upon the
young preacher politician In the Senate
Tho combination has been made in great
haste. but there is little doubt that 1t will DO
strong enough to accomplish its purpose.
There are not many men among the delegates
who bavo attended national political con-
vention before. but tho exigencics Of the occa-
sion have developed somo clever manipulators
among them.

came late yesterday afternoon all but Wear-
er'stolowers wore completely nonplussed for
| time. The South. to whom they looked for q
candidate. said they had no one to Offer. With
this announcement from the Southern dele
gates came this message: Give us North
ern or Western man too young to have fred
shot in 1850. and we will carry Us many States
for him as We could for one OF our own men,"
Then they looked about for such n man. and

the snme. so did Colorado, New England, and

| The ninety-s;x Jeleeates from Illinois held
n meeting. Some Of them were instructed to
present the namo OF Col Norton of Chicago.
