SPEECHES.
No committee being ready to report
speeches were declared in order. Pro-.
Bitteson of Cowley county was introduced
and he made quite an eloquent speech.
He covered the entire range of Alliance
subjects and demonstrated himself to be a
man of considerable thought. He paid
special attention to the financial policy of
the government and every time he would
plead for more money, no matter what
kind, the convention would wildly ap-
plaud him. When he made the statement
that the money should be issued direct to
the people the excitement, enthusiasm and
cheering became simply intense.
John f. Willis followed. He stated
that during the past year he had travelled
over the United States from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, aud from the Lakes to the
Gulf, and that in all these places he OBJ
served that great attention is being given
by the thinking common people to
the reforms submitted to them by
the Peoples patty. He was into
the palaces by the eastern seashore, in the
dug-outs of the western plains in the cot
tages and cabins of the south and in the
mountains gorges of the west, and every
where he found the people thinking and
talking about reform. He then recalled
the campaign of 1890 aud asserted that he
was elected governor of Kansas as sure as
sun shone He said: Another man is
drawing my salary, but wouldn't care
for that if he behaved himself" This
caused great applause.
c. H. j. Taylor, the colored statesman
of Wyandotte county, was the next
speaker. He was introduced as the repre-
sentative of Grover Cleveland, for hav-
ing been appointed by that gentleman as
minister to Liberia. Upon COM
ing forward he made quite a hit by
saying that ''the people generally get
him mixed up with Grover Cleveland, he
looked so much like him. He then pro-
ceeded to tell the convention all about
how the colored people can be taken over
to The Third party. His speech was well
received.
Mcdonald of Labette, Foster of Topeka
and Nels Anderson a Swede made speeches
also after which Harrison Kelley of Coffey
county told the convention how and why
he became a Peoples party man.
The committee on credentials announced
that they were:
