overwnelmlns.y defeated. Ihe resolutlon
was then adopted by acciamation.
A resolution declaring against the pres
encc OF public officers, naming senators,
congrcssmen, members OF Legislatures. at
state and national conventions, was then re-
ported from the resolutions committee. 1t
declares that no person holding any office
or position Of profit, trust or einolument,
and OF the federal or any state or Inunici-
pal government, shall be eligible to sit or
vote in any convention of the Peoples
party. The resolution went through with
a whoop and without discussion.
THE NOMINATIONS.
Then came the roll call OF the states for
the presentation of candidates for the presi-
drncy. The first state: "Alabama," was
scarcely shouted by the secretary when ]. 3.
Manning arose and promptly placed in
nomination Gen. James b. Weaver Of Iowa
amid prolonged cheers.
The plac. of Colorado was yielded to
Col. $. +. Norton, OF Ills. who placed Sena-
tor Kyle of S. d., in nomination. Col.
Norton said the man he shoul Il name had
already won his spurs in the brainest and
shrewdest assembly i'll the United
States. The man he should name stood
there as a giant. One part of his strength
consisted in the fact that he is member of
no faction: His candidates brain was not
measured by the girth OF his waist. He was
man so great that no big white hat OF an
ancestor could hide him from the public
gaze. His candidate was broad and lib
eral.minded man. 1t was not impossible
or improbable that the new party might
place the man he would name In the White
hot tfSon,
JAMES A. KYLE OF SOUTH DAKOTA.
A Connecticut delegate said he would
present one who came from the state which
gave us a Washington and Jefferson,
James Field OF Virginia.
S cphen II. Bashor Of Illinois, pastor of
the progressive church. said that the Peo-
pies party was founded on principles, not
men. and it demanded us leader its biggest,
brainiest and squarest man in the party
| fold. That man was Senator Van Wyck Of
| Nebraska.
The principal speech for Gen. Weaver
was made by Morris l.. Wheat of Iowa,
| Wcaver's own state.
Mrs. Lease OF Kansas seconded Weaycr's
| nomination.
Maj. Henry Webb of Massachusetts, can
didatc for governor of his state OH the Peo-
pies party ticket seconded tho nomina-
ton OF Senator Kyle.
Delegate Brown of Massachusetts nom-
mated Mann Page of Virginia.
Delegate Fish OF Minnesota nominated
Ignatius Donncllv. but Donnelly declined.
AT ! o'clock tho roll call OF states for
nominating speeches was completed and
there were four candidates before the COLI
yen,ion- Weaver OF Iowa, Kyle of South
Dakota. Fields OF Virginia and Page of
Virginia. Gresham's dcclination had been
at last reluctantly accepted by his admirers
and the refusal of Van Wyck and Donnelly
TO allow the consideration of their names
left the field to tho four candidates who had
been formally presented.
July . l;5o . a. m:IFrom In the very begin,
all competitors and SO ovcrwhelm-
ingly was the vote cast for him
that his nomination was prac-
tically assured before tho ballot was half

enthusiastic aud when the result was an
nounced chcered loud and long. The bal
lot resulted MS follow:
Stanford i each. Minnesota voted 81 M ios
Weaver and for Kyle South dakota. Weaver
l,kyle 10: North Dakota. Wenv IL. Kyle
| Norton of Illinois moved to make the
