CAPTAIN COOKE STEAKS.
The conventions having concluded their
labors the afternoon was devoted by the
Populists to speaking In the courthouse.
The audience was composed OF large
number OF Democrats. Populists, and Re-
publicans. The speakers were Captain
Edmond II. Cooke, the nominee of the
Peoples party for Governor, and Judge
Kerr. of Colorado. who, from his remarks,
ia touring some of the southern States for
the purpose of bringing about closer re-
lation between the South and the West.
Captain Cooke made a very patriotic
history and chivalry. As a political ad-
dress 1t was failure, both in point of eff
feet and argument.
He talked at great length upon the cur
rency question, and wanted TO know what
the Democrats were going to do-follow
the platform of the party into free silver,
or follow the President into the gold lines.
Only once had the constitution Of the
country been obeyed by Congress. and
that was during the war between the
states. He asked why there were millions
of people idle now. and asserted that IL
was because corporate money power had
determined to make money scarce. He
only cared to speak of finance and fraud,
day. he was ashamed to say. IL the voice
of the people were silenced, free govern
ment would be no more. The Democrats
would claim that the remedy would come
with the millennium. and the millennium
was knocking at the hearts OF the people
now.

che kings OF industry. He practically unknown
in public life and politics Society scarcely knew
him. But In the vast cotton trade of Manchester
and the County Paatne he filled IA great and
unique place He was striking example of rising
from the ranks, and OF winning great fortune by
application and perseverance. Within the recol-
lection OF his fellow townsmen, other man so

Manchester Guardian" writer. careful of every
item OF profit made. shrewd. and endowed with a
large fund Of sound common sense, Mr.. Ward was
one of the most notable men Blackburn has pro-
duced during the present century.
he was born in small cottage house in Clay

his life within two three miles of his birthplace

exceedingly limited, and at very early age he
went to Blackburn and was apprenticed 10 hair
