such man as Sir George Pullman at
the head OF it. D." Peg
OF Pullman he said: ''He Is man

crowds down the wages of his employees,
goes to the sea coast and untlincningly
sees the country brought to the verge
of destruction.
IL do not believe that workingmen
ask anything that is not reasonable,
fair and right. do not believe that the
men called strikers fired the buildings
or destroyed property in Chicago. Their
great leaders have appealed to the men
to refrain from violence. In their con-
yention at Chicago the A. r. u. by an
unanimous standing vote resolved that
their only hope was in the ballot box,
and that they would stand by the Peo-
Plies party. We deprecate the excuses
that have been committed. Two years
ago, in our Omaha platform. we said
that the country was OIL the verge of
material, moral and political ruin The
old parties Knocked at us and called us
calamity h0wlers. We have ceased our
bowling, but they have taken it up. Now
We will preserve the same judicial at
titude. the same calmness we had when
they told us the tariff was at the bot
tom of all our troubles. The real ques-
ton before the country is: A supply of
currency adequate to the business of
the country.
take heart and hope. my friends"
continued the Sage. Events have
justified our cause. We demanded an
income tax. The Democrats have taken
it up and made 1t the fundamental
creed of their shattered platform. We
demanded currency equal to $50 per
capita. Only Il few weeks ago the Re-
publicanS of Pennsylvania adopted res
olutions demanding $40 per capita.
They are pretty near us. We won't
quarrel about the other $40. We will
add 1t OH ourselves"
In conclusion, the Sage administered
a verbal castigatIon to Senators Davis
and Washburn. which set the crowd
wild with applause.
Davis" he said. His recent reply to n
Duluth man who asked him to vote for
the Kyle resolution defining mail train
was brusQue and almost insulting. A
man of good sense or. good judgment
would have said, will consider the
matter. will investigate the resolution,
will listen to the debate, and when it
comes to the vote will use my best
Judgment. That would have been
craftsmanship"
The senator then explained just what
the Kyle resolution is and continued his
criticism of Senator Davis, whereat the
crowd shouted themselves hoarse.
"And then we have another senator,
Washburn. God save the mark" the
senator loosely rambled on. "If he
bod no a
of you When this trouble came on he
made bee line for the woods of Maine.
Yesterday, understand. fifteen tele-
grams were sent to him asking him for
Gods sake to come out of the woods
and fight this resolution, but he does
not bulge.
Il remember that in 1861 this same
WaShburn, who is now candidate for
reelection. was captain of the home
guards. When motion was made by
my friend Bassett to tender the services
of the guards to the government in re-
spouse to President Lincoln's call for
volunteers, he resigned his position and
took to the woods then"
Mr.. Donnelly proceeded then to dis
cuss the lament of a Republican organ
that there were so few great men in the
party. "Man can't make great men out
of the tools of corporations. Great men
come from the people, such as constitute
this convention"
The sage said the ballot box should be
tried before revolution; that men should
follow law and order and not turn aside
to tread tue miry and CORY ways of
bloodshed. He set the convention wild
again by declaring the convention
would nominate S. NJ. Owen for gov
ernor, and that he would be elected, and
that he was better equipped for the
place than any man that ever occupied
it. Counseling peace, good will and
harmony he concluded by cautioning
the convention against scrapping over
minor places.
