A PEOPLES PARTY ROAR
Populists Jump on Taubeneck for
limiting at Fusion With
Democrats.
The County Executive Committee
Speaks the Local Party'S Mind
on Alliances.

The leading California Populists with
few exceptions condemn their National
charm an (Taubeneckl for his recent efforts
to get his party to abandon the graded por-
tion of the road in making silver alliances,
and especially his talk which encourages
the hope that the Populists and Democra is
may unite in behalf OF silver.
The universal sentiment here is that the
Populists must be true to their party and
principles; that union with the Demo-
Gratis would kill the Peoples party and be
absurd and lmpossible; that the only
union will be one with the Silver party
which has renounced the old parties, and
that their National Convention can nom
mate nobody bnt a straight-out Populist.
The Peoples party men think for them
selves and refuse to be bossed, and If
many of the delegates are OF the mind of
those who will go from California Mr..
Taubeneck may get q trimming down at
st. Louis wnen the National Convention
meets.
The first formal expression of disap-
proval made here was made last night by
the executive committee OF the County
Committee, and this expression is about
the sentiment of the State Committee.
The following resolutions, offered by Sec
retary George D. Gillespie, who IS men,
Der OF the State Committee, also were dis
cussed with approval and unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, The Peoples party is a National
party, whose platform declares for the abo-
1tlon OF monopoly in all its heinous forms;
and whereas, the formation of this grand new
party has cost years Of patient toll and great
personal saerlhces; and whereas, we
teel from the depths of our hearts that
unless the Peoples party principles are
put into practice and. the Government
returned to the hands OF the common
people, that despotism Will rule the land and
the Republic be destroyed; and whereas, it is
apparent by recent pu blicaIions that the Ma
tional chairmon OF the Peoples party, II. E.
impression that the Peoples party
would be willing to cast aside the
cardinal principle OF ant-monopoly and di-
rect legislation and assume the humiliating
position of being a tail to the Democratic
party kite, If the Democratic party would only
nominate a free-silver man for President of
the United States and adopt free-silver plat
form as its pretentious creed.
Res0tUed That we deprec8te the thought thst
the National Convention of the Peoples party
would be willing TO fuse with the Democratic
party, and its confused conglomeration of
theories of how to run the Government in the
interest of the people of these United States
and at the same time in the interest of foreign
ResoIUed, That we believe that the present
boom for free silver in the Democratic party is
based upon the false assumption that the Pop
ulistS would lndorse their candidate, and
nothing else.
ResoEUed, That we deem it entirely unwar-
ranted and wholly ct variance with the true
spirit of Populism for any official or commit
tee to place themselves in the position which
should be occupied only by the National Con-
vention, which will meet in st. Louis July 3D.

ResoIred, That all PERSONS who are in favor
of the Tree and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1, who are not Populsts,
should give their allegiance to the Silver party,
which will also hold its National Convention
at ST. Louis, July %, for we can rest assured
that there will then be formed one of the
grandest unions that has ever occurred in the
history of American politics.
