Upon reassembling in the evening

pledges made by the candidates. Each
one was called up in turn to show
mat he was good Populist and fit
! Tor the nomination with which he was
10 be honored. Each man who was
named seemed loath to accept and
asked that he might be released from
such onerous duties as would be i'm
posed upon him. The scenes were
! amusing, many of the speeches being
! quite original as regards their gram
mar and English and all rather f1orid.
Z. H. Parsons and S. a. Kenner were
Withdrawn from the senatorial race
and L. II. Gray was put in nomination,
IN spite of his earnest appeal to be
left in innocuous desuetude c. B.

he was not Populist. AS he was not
present his name was stricken from
the list.

of the people do not own their own
homes. That is government by the clas-
ses. Yet men go with their parties wrong
or right. He would have independence
enough 10 leave his party whenever he
could not agree with its principles. He
warned the candidates put up not to at
tempt TO dicher with or sell out to the
OLD parties, on pain of having him help
20 defeat them. He said the Populists
were not looking for The loaVes and fish
es, but for the principles of the party.
They realize that they ere in the minor
itV. They may pretty soon be in the ma
Jority- If this nation is to continue. it
must be rescued from the old parties.
Men acknowledge that there must be d
change and yet they lack the moral cour-
age to come out and fight for it.
This government is making millionaires
by the thousands and paupers by the
millions. This is not government for
the people. Cry of Shame We must
have some money. The gold men say
Why. there is only enough gold in the
world to give $3.50 TO each person. II
the gold standard is continued the labor
ers of America will be brought down to
the condition of the pauperiZed laborers
of Asia. Today yon are brought into cont

pan. Manufacturers are moving their
plants over there to get cheap labor.
They pay there only 20 cents d day.
Talk about protection. Why that cry
is raised only to throw dust in your eyes.
One party talks high tariff and the other
low tariff. but neither one dareS to de-
believe in the protection that protects
the people, not the few. Today only the
manufacturers are protected in certain
districts and they bring over pauper Ia

and serve the purpose for which it is
provided. If gold is too good 10 circulate
freely we had better get something bet
ter We should not worship the golden
calf. which is using the wealth that
laborers produce to enslave humanity.
In the eyes of the favored class property
is better than humanity. We must break
loose. They depend ON money to keep
their control. We must depend on votes.
,he speaker said he would not descend 10
the methods of the old parties If Re
were elected by such methods he would
refuse to accept the office.
No ca party will over correct a wrong

A collection was taken up to defray the
expenses of the convention and an adj
journment was taken.
