Hamilton, however, does not appear
to stand high with many of his brother
Populists, and some of their number
expressed the opinion privately that ne

However, the convention did not look
at the matter as did Mr.. Hamilton, and
the report of the committee was adopt

1t was then determined that the con-

from the Twentieth District to occupy
the north, and those from the Twenty
first District the south end of the hall,
in order to proceed to the election OF
delegates to the State Convention.
The Twentieth Assembly District
met and organized by electing DR.. Py-

were elected as delegates to the State
Convention: DR. Pyburn, ]. II. Mckune
and DR.. w. H. Henderson.
l.. NJ. Landsborough and j. E. Camp
were recommended as State Central
Committeeman from the Twentieth Dis

met and organized by choosing William

voting for delegates was at once taken
up Nominations were made as fol-
lows: w. T. Hamilton, A. Dittmar, r..

hun, W. II. Waterline and w. II. Woods.
The delegates elected were A. Dittmar
and W. H. Waterline on the first, and
w. II. Woods on the second ballot.
The delegates were uninstructed, and
no reference was made to platform or
resolutions, though it was understood
that the convention indorsed the Omaha
platform, and particularly that part OF
it relating to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver
There were, when the convention con-
vened, thirty-four persons present, but
during the session two others entered,
raising the number to thirty-six.

that his company had never taken any

and that it should not be undertaken
without at least two years OF careful
investigation, at a cost of about 5000,

Therefore, Mr. Miller and his company
will waste time in waiting any longer
