today, at which the situation was dis
cussed Thomas NJ. Patterson presided
and General ]. +. Weaver and H. r
Taubeneck chairman Of the national pom
ulist committee, were present. General

where, he says, he believes the democrats
and populists will combine and carry the
state. The general condition Of the popu-
list party in the nation and the relation
it should bear toward the new silver party
were discussed. Chairman Patterson

lighting chance if only proper precautions
were taken to give the people acceptable
candidates.
