Populist convention on the birthday
of the great Jefferson. 1t is the ''geE-
minsl" month of the year the season
of renewed vigor, hope and enterprise
for all. AS to place, let it be at some
convenient point In that vast territory
northwest Of the Ohio river" which
was dedicated and preserved to free
dom sby the Jefferson ordinance of
1887. Let it be held in Cincinnati,
Columbus or Indianapolis, or in
Springfield, ILL.,, so long the home of
Abraham Lincoln. These are my
humble suggestions. Respectfully
submitted, JOHN DAVIS.
