Mcdonald of this city read the following
letter from Jesse r. Grant, son Of Gen.
Grant, espousing the peoples party's
cause The letter set the convention villa
with enthusiasm and the cheering lasted
several minutes. 1t was as follows:
"San Diego. Cal, Sept. k-My Dear
Judge-I have noticed with much inter
est your withdrawal from the democratic
party and espousal of the peoples party.
This action meets my approval, since /
have concluded to enroll myself in the
same cause. The financial plank in tho
republican platform must drive from that
party any one who believes as ! do, and
the anarchal plank in the democratic
platform must lose to it many persons
who believe in the protection of Amerl-
cans citizens at home as well as abroad.
The platform of the peoples party, on
the contrary, has no Objectionable prin-
ciples and offers a political home any
man can proudly enter Yours truly,
Jesse r. Grant"
Mr.. Grant has heretofore been repun-
