EDITOR ADvOCATE:-Much has al
ready been said and written upon this
question, and it seems to me that the
safest plan is to follow custom unless
it can be shown that custom is wrong.
A great many in both the old parties
have said that they would not again
support gold standard candidate or
one that runs on strsddle platform,
yet they are not willing to leave their
parties until after the candidates are
named and platforms made.
We as Populists are opposed to the
free silver or one plank platform alone,
but to succeed we must unite all those
elements who are opposed to a gold
standard. By holding an early con-
vention We would give to those who
are almost persuaded no chance to take
part In our deliberations. 1t would
look as though we were In a great
hurry to pass the pie around before the
recruits were ready to come in. This
kind of treatment might cause them
to join the lone plank party" or re-
main where they are. A late conven
tion would obViste all this after the
g. o. p. have made their nominations,
and while the discOntented elements
are mad and champing their bits is the
time to extend to them the hand of
welcome and q pressing invitation to
come to our house where they shall
have seats at the FIRST table and shall
share In common with US all the good
things we have to give, and may assist
us In all our deliberations, help us
carry on the campaign and share the
results. am sure recruits would feel
more at home II treated In this way
than if we should go ahead In a stiff
necked, Grover Cleveland way and hold
an early convention. OF course, II we
are going TO contend against any mod
iucation of the Omaha platform what
ever, and remain rock.rooted to the
middle Of the road and simply con-
tent ourselves by marching up the hill
and then march down again, 1t matters
little how soon our convention is held.
The Alliance made this mistake in
many places in 1890 by selecting its
delegates to county conventions in So
cret session, thereby allowing no rep
resentation to those outside the ALI
snce. This action may account for the
Peoples party having no larger follow
ing In the cities than 1t now has.
What 10 most needed at the present
time Il cool, deliberate, practical, sco.l
