OREGON CITY, Or. March 15.-The
| Populist State convention met here to-day
| After the appointment Of committees or
organization, pending their report. brlel
speeches were made by some of the promi-
nent men of the parry.
The following telegram was received
| this morning from Senator william NJ
Stewart, dated Washington, March IA:
To Chairman Peoples Party Convention
oregon City. Or: Jackson's birthday for your
convention is significant. The destruction oil
silver when the output OF gold is absoI bed
means slavery OF the masses. For thirty
years the Government has subsidized the
nat ional banks by lending them money at l pei
cent, TO be again loaned at such interest as
their avarice demands. The Democratic and
Republican parties are united 10 sustain the
single gold standard, destroy all Government
issues of legal-teDder money and increase the
national debt and 10 perpetuate the bank
monopoly.
Our motto is: The full and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 TO / the issue by
the Government OF money. all Of which must be
full legal tender without the Intervention Of
banks, and opposition 10 any increase In the
national debt by the issuance OF interestbear-
ing bonds in times of peace.
The liberty and independence of the people
OF the United States depend upon our success
against the combined power Of the old parties
who fear us only when we attack them upon
their joint issue Of gold and bank monopoly.
All tn Popuists in Washington join me in
this message.
The platform as adopted reaffirms the
national platform adopted at Omaha, July
4. 1892; demands a constitutional conven-
ton to revise the State constitution and in
clude therein the Initiative and referendum
in its obligatory form; demands the enact
ment of law forbidding the sale of
property on execution, unless the proceeds
Of such sale shall equal at least so per cent
of the appraised value of the property;
denOunces the corrupt and wicked dis
regard of the law in the issuance of addi-
tlonal United States interest bearing bonds
at the lnStigation and in the interests of
the money! lenders of America and En-
rope. 1t also demands the abolition of the
National Guards.
At the evening session the following
nominations were made: Governor. Nathan
Pierce; Secretary of State, Ira WAKE field;
State Treasurer, R. Caldwell; Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction. 7. C. Jory;
Attorney General, M. L. Olmstead; State
Printer. George NJ. Orion. Congressman
First District, Charles Miller; Second
District. Joseph Waldorf.
The sentiment against fusion with the
Democrats was strong, and since a full
ticket was nominated the probability is
that there will be no fusion.
NEW YORK, March Is. - The Posts
Washington special says: A political
statistlcian, who has been examining the
field with great care and absolute Impair
tiality. reaches the conclusion that grant
ing the Republicans every seat which can
possibly go to them in the next Senate,
they and the Democrats will be practically
tied, the balance of power being held by
the Populist. In case the Democrats sue
ceeded in every contest for legislative
majorites next fall they will still retain a
slight majority over all. In case the Populists
obtain the balance of power, it will bring
Senator Allen of Nebraska to the front as
dictator. after the Malone fashion of thir-
teen years ago.
