ST. Louis, June ,5.-H. +. Taube-
neck the chairmaraxhe Peoples party
national executive coinmittee, was
seen Sunday at the committees head
quarters in this city and questioned re-
garding the party's prog ects. Said he:
"You can rest assuredthat our national
convention will be big concern. 1t
will be deliberative body, not infu-
enced by federal office-holders or those
who expect federal offices.n
Regarding the platforms adopted at
Minneapolis and Chicago Mr.. Taubeneck
said that so far as he. could see they
were with the exception of the tariff
planls identical. As to the attitude
the silver producing states would prob
ably take during the coming campaign
Mr.. Taubeneck said: From the cor
respondence am receiving, specially
from Colorado, they. say that neither
| Harrison nor Cleveland can poll over 5
per cent. Of their respective party vote.
| That holds true in every other mining
state. Colorado has 40, 600 voters enrolled
inher silver clubs. Every one is pledged
to vote for no man or party unless they
favor an unlimited coinage Of silver, and
my opinion is that those people mean
just exactly what they say The demo-
cratic delegates from Colosado at the
Chicago convention have called con-
vention of democrats for Colorado. Z
think they will declare both the nomi-
nee and platform at Chicago as undemo-
cratic repudiate it and elect delegates
to confer with the. Peoples party at
Omaha.
They will also call on every silver
state to do the same, and think it will
be done. The executive committee of
the bimetallic leagues is in session now,
and from information have it will de-
clare both the old parties as enemies to
bimetalism, and issue a call to the free
silver clubs and bimetallic leagues to
send delegates to Omaha and confer
with the Peoples party.
'With the proper nominations and
with a good canvass we will sweep the
south and the west. Everything south
of the Ohio and everything west of the
Mississippi river
What is the voting strength Of your
party and the different industrial or
CARNATIONS which took part in the Feb
ruary conference?"
'rhat is not an easy task to get at,
because some of the organizations will
admit members who are not eligible to
vote; but from the best estimates made
from the roll books of the different or
ganizations last February, we have be-
tween 5000, 900 and 1000, 900 voters that
belong to the different organizations.
