A baker having proven so successful as
a reforrner among the Democrats. the
Popuiists thought they we're fortunate in
having one In their party whom they
could nominate for mayor. and so they
conferred the honor upon A. W. Piper.
When the convention was called 20

man Of the city central COMMITTEES. there
were abou. 20 delegates and visitors pres
emit Mr.. Robbins resd the call for the
convenfion and read q short address in
which he recommended that short plat
form be adopted IN plain. decisive Iaa-
gusge. Then hs declared.
AS 20 resolutions, bell il paved with
good resolutions. Put none bat true. loyal
Populisfs upon the ticket; men that ron
know are heart and soul in sympathy with
the preat principles Of the Peoples party.
and who would rather suffer defeat under
the banner of that party than win success
under that of fusion or one In any way
connected with the tao old parties. Look
20 their moral character, as well a. their
business qualifications.
The declaration in opposition 10 fusion
was heartily applauded.
On closing his address Mr.. Robbins
named Addison Smith for temporary
chairman Mr. Smith thanked the con-
vsntion for the honor and hoped that the
delegates had q realizing sense of the re-
sponsihi,ity which restei upon them. He
trusted that they would lay aside all per-
sonai preferences aud put forth a ticket
which every citizen would respect
The chairman had scarcely taken his
seat when long wrangle ensuei about the
selection OF temporary secretary. One
delegate. objected to the appointment of
Temporary chairman, aud moved that one
be elected. The motion was not seconded,
but Chairman Smith said he was perfectly
willing that the presiding officer should be
eiected instead of appointed. Several del
sgates nominated HAM for CHAIRMAN and
another put the question. and Ii was car
ried with but one dissenting vote. The
long wrsnele and cross-firc of silly motions
and points Of order, which clearly ratified
the chairman, who Is . business man and
NOT pariiamentarian, was finally settled
by the unanimous election Of Nathan An
derson aud David w. phipps as seereta-
ries.
Another long wrangie cnsued as to how
the committee on credentials should be
seiseted, In which IL seemed that those
who knew least about parliamentary pro-
ceeding. hsd tho mos. to saw. Motion
Was piird on motion and the heap knocked
into confusion by broadsides of points of
order bat the chair selected a question at
random and put it. and IL Was determined
TO silow the delegates from each ward TO
select enc member of the committee.
After short recess. during which the va
rioas ward delegates caucussed, the follow
