| While waiting for the announcement of
committees, at call of the convention, Hon.
| III. Ii. Pulver made rousing and pointed
speech. He was much disgusted at the in
suit offered him by the populists nominating
him for representative, but said he would
see that his name was not used. A life
long democrat had asked him, "What in
will the democratic orators haye TO talk
about this year," He did not know, but as
they had laroe majority down there, he
presumed they could say what they pleased.
He roasted Grover for his un-American
policy IN the Hawaiian matter, and praised
the press of the country for the universal
condemnation of his act. The policy of free
trade, he stated, was worse than fire or
war. The shadow of free trade had caused
destruction wide spread, and made suicides
more numerous than ever in the history of
any country. He compared the condition
of the country during the framing of the
Mckinley bill with the condition during the
formation of the sugar trust bill, and closed
by sarcastic roast of the "Man of Destiny"
The convention adjourned at AS for din
ner.
