committee was present and many
prominent populists from all over the
state we're also in attendance. The
object Of the meeting was to fix a date
and place of holding the state cOnven-
ton, which vas given to Abilene, to be
held August 3.
The committe also named Hut0hin-
son and March IS, as the place and
time for holding the state convention
for selecting delegates to the national
populist convention which will convene
at st. Louis, July %, to which Kansas
will have 80 delegates.
The committee completed its work
by making an apportionment of dele
gates for the two state conventions.
For the Hutchison convention the basis
was fixed at one delegate for each
county and one delegate for each 500
populist votes cast at the last general
election. This makes a convention of
about 400 delegates. For the state
convention at Abilene on August 5,
which is to nominate state officers, the
basis was fixed for at one delegate for
each county and one for each $50 votes
cast for the populist ticket, making
convention of abOutG00.
Call for Delegate Convention.
A delegate convention of the peoples
party Of Kansas will be held in the city
OF Hutchinson on Wednesday, March IS,
1896, converting at II o'clock a. NJ, for
the purpose of electing 80 delegates
and alternates to the national cOnven-
ton of said party to be held in st.

It is recommended that the county
conventions for the selection of dele

1t is also recommended that in the
event the county committee for the
campaign of 1886 has not been selected
that same be selected OF any changes
that are contemplated be made at this
time to the end that all committeeman
may familiarize themselves with the
duties deyolying upon them before the
active work of the campaign begins.
It is desirable that every member of
the party, who can possibly do so, at
tend the primaries for the election of
delegates to the county conventions in
order that those selected as delegates
may represent the wishes of the entire
party, 1t is also recommended that
each county designate one of the dele
gates to the Hutchinson convention as a
member of the appellate court judicial
committee and that the several judicial
tFicts committees thus selected
meet while at Hutchinson for the pur-
pose Of organization and to take such
other action as they may deem proper
and expedient

ranks of the unemployed are being
constantly augmented and the earnings
of those employed being steadily re-
duced- a system whioh is rapidly bank
rupting all small dealers and traders

the property, all the wealth and all the
business of our country in the hands
Of few giant corporations; all who are

corporations in the legislation of our
country; all who favor reform in our
monetary, land and transportation sys-

voters through promises that we're
never fulfilled, are respectfully invited
to participate in the selection of dele
gates to these conventions.
