brought forth applause and stamping
of feet. 1t provoked enthusiasm all
during the session of the convention.
The temporary officers escorted the
permanent officers to the chair and
Captain Synder delivered very brief
speech. He said that the Populists are
working in the right direction. Their
Principles are the only ones that will
give Justice L the people. They are
tie onlg eaes, except the tariff princi-
pies, which have been threshed over
for years. They Say we are making
a forlorn hope. Well, every large party
began with a forlorn hope, and in the
end our forlorn hope will raise a cry
of victory.
James Hogan Talks.
Or. Hasbrouck moved that the con-
Nention hear A ten-minute speech from
Games Hogan, who served in Jail with
eugene Debs. The time was extended
and Hogan made a speech. He said
in part.
We are not Populists because our
fathers were. but because of the party's
principles, which will fill void neces-
sary to be filled. Today we are in
suited. If Patrick Henry should make
one Of his speeches today the pluto
cratic press would call him an an
archist. The pIutocratic press will de-
N@Tote space TO the length of man s
Nhiskers. but will say nothing of the
y principles of his party. Applying their
xreasons against Populism to our fore
, fathers it would seem that they were
foolish for leading a revolution. In that
time conservatism was preached as it
is now, but it was disreSarded.

with such a condition of affairs. The
dishonest senators, the judicial ours.
whelps in ermine are the ones that de-
mand our attention. The few rich men
are controlling these machines to turn
men out of work. Tramps are being
made every day and they will be a
speak king issue. Some day they may
form in bands to descend from the
hills and rob towns. The two old par
ties talk of our wealth and grandeur,
but do nothing for the common people.
The Republicans, in collision F,ith the
Democl ats, have killed silver. They
don't il tend to restore it.
The plutocrats have been and are in
nontrol of the country and its legis-
iation. The car of Russia has no more
power than our federal judges, whose
decision allows of no appeal These
courts are owned by the plutocrats.
The Whisky trust and Pullman in 1892
gave $250,000 to the two parties SO that
they might control either one.
Grover the good has said that the
government should go out Of the bank
ing business. If he keeps up this
thing long the government viii soon go
out of the government business
A Voice-Thats right. They're out of
il now
Even the Salt Lake bankers have the
business men by the throat and they
dare not be Populists, because the
banks would foreclose their mortgages.
The same experience was had in Den
yer. How long will it be before the
banks own the country and Rothchild

Hr0tect the debt. Are We going to pay
1t?
Cries of mo. No"

you going to pay with?
A Votce-With gold bonds.
Cries of mo. No.
The Populists have a most important
mission. They are bound to succeed
- and will be in a majority soon 1t is
Il time to be radical. When a man spits
tobacco juice in your eye what do you
do? Do you stop to arbitrate?
A Noice-Turn the other eye.
Well, we're getting tired of that policy
You must work for the party. You
must cast your ballot and see that it
is counted and recorded.
A Voice-But we can't depend on the
supreme court.
That's right. That is owned by the
other people. 1t viii say that your vote
is unconstitutional. Some men say the
producers should have a fair share of
what they make. But it is right that
they should have ALL Their claims are
enough to make a man wonder what in
the devil he is living for Something
twill happen soon. The Populists will
make change. We want your votes
