that Cincinnati could not win. and similar cent?

last named would gradually disintegrate and
that ST. Louis and Chicago would become the

St Louis and Chicago would divide about even

A LITTLE LECTURE BY
THE LITTLE
CHAIRMAN.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1896-08-01

Chairman Butler. Rev. Smith offered
prayer The chairman called for the
report of the committee on credentials,
but that committee was unprepared to
report and was given further time.
The roll of states was then called for
the names of committeeman on organ
ization, resolutions and notification OF
nominees. That operation occupied
much time.
A motion to take recess till 3 o'clock
was finally successful and ut 12:45 the
convention adjourned until that hour.
THE SECOND SESSION.
1t was $3.50 when Senator Butler
called the convention to order and
stated that the committee on creden-
tials was prepared to make partial
report. Therefore Mr.. Wardell, of
California, chairman of the committee,
submitted majority report recon-
mending that the delegates be recog-
nized in all the uncontested cases; that
in the cases of the first seven Illinois
congressional districts both contest
ants and contestees be seated, with
the. right to cast half votes, and that
in the case of Colorado the delegates
be seated and cast the full vote of the
state. That part of the report for the
admission of the delegates whose seats
were uncontested was agreed to.

report was explained by Delegate Pom
eroy, OF New Jersey, member of the
committee on rules. There were but
three points of difference, he said, be-
tween the ma Gritty and minority the
principal one being reversal of the
order OF nominations for president and
vice president.
The question of adopting the report
was debated for nearly three hours
amid scenes of great confusion and
finally the roll of states was called on
the question of substituting the minor
ity report, giving precedence to the
vice presidential nomination, for the
majority report to proceed to ballot
for president first and vice president
next Mr.. Skinner, of North Carolina,
who had cast s5 of that states vote for
the majority report, announced that
he would change that vote unle' IS good
faith was to be observed and south
ern vice president nominated. A scene
of great confusion ensued which de-
layed the proceedings some time. An
informal count showed the vote to be:
For the minority report 7So, for the
majority report 766.
Before the result was announced Mr..
Skinner changed the vote of North
Carolina, casting the whole 95 votes
for the minority report, which was
thus adopted, the official total being
For the minority 7s5, for the majority
report 6l5 The report as thus amended
was then declared adopted.
Gen. Weaver, of Iowa, chairman OF
the committee on resolutions, took the
stand to read the platform and resolu'
tions which had been agreed to. Mi
nority reports would be presented by
Mr.. Kearby, of Texas, and Mr.. Coxey
He read the platform and resolutions
as follows:
The preamble reafirms the adherence OF tht
| convention to the principles OF the people!
| party as enunciated at Omaha in 1892; declare!
that the two old parties have brought thu
| country to financial ruin; calls attention to tn,
! fact that four years ago the populists predicted
the complete surrender OF the government Il
corporate powers, condition which is now ap
parent to all 1t further states that while as
nation we claim to have political power, w
must regain our financial prestige before W
assume our place as free and Independent
nation.
1t also declares that the European none.
changers have shaped legislation and beel
more potent than the voice of the Americas
people; that executive power aud patronag
have been used to corrupt legislatures and de
feat the will of the people; that plutocracy ha
been thereby enthroned on the ruins Of a de
mocracy
The preamble concludes with rec ommenda
tion for the adoption Of the platform sub
mitted to the end that the government Of tn
fathers may be restored and the welfare OF tn
country and of posterity may be secured.
The financial plank is as follows:

sound, issued by the general government only

vate and receivable for all debts due the gov
ernment and that without the use of banlin

The Illinois case was taken up. The
report of the majority declared that
the Taylor delegates from Cook county
were not entitled to the seats, and that
the contestants are The minority re-
port in favor of the Taylor delegates
was adopted.
The report from the committee on
permanent organization was present
ed. Mr.. Cox stated the recommenda-
tions of the committee-the name
of Senator Allen, of Nebraska, be-
ing reported as permanent chairman.
The minority report was then read,
presenting the name of James E. Cam
pion, of Maine, as permanent chair
man, amid cheers from the adherents
of the middle of the road section of the
convention.
The convention then voted by states on
the adoption of the majority report for
permanent chairman, the utmost con-
! fusion prevailing. The vote resulted:
For Allen 75s, for Campion 564, for
Donnelly l.
AS soon as the vote was announced
the Bryan section of the convention
broke out into wild shout of triumph,
delegates standing up and waving hats
and fans, and again procession of
guidon bearers took up the march
through the hall Finally some de-
gree of order was restored, when it
was moved to make the nomination
of Senator Allen unanimous The mo-
tion was adopted with whoop. Sena-
tor Allen was escorted to the chair by
Lafe Pence, Cyclone" Davis and Igna-
titus Donnelly.
Senator Allen said that during and after the
| rebellion the gold power OF Europe, aided by
its agents in the United States. had fastened
the chains of industrial slavery on the people OF
the United States, which it would take almost
a generation to strike OF. 1t was part of the
mission OF populism to free the people from
sectional preiudices If any suspicion existed
anywhere that there would be a bolt in the
convention, it was a great mistake. Every del
egate from Maine No Texas would bow to the
will of the convention. He had no doubt that
there was hope in Wall street that this great
convention would split to pieces and that the
peoples party would be absorbed in the repub-
lican party. Minions of Wall street could have
been found in st. Louis during the whole week.
They had gone to the hotels ut night, wearing
badges and falsely pretending to be delegates.
These men were the purchased chattels OF the
British gold power He had noticed in the
hall banners with the device Keep in the mid
die OF the road" He said amen to that He
, not only wanted to keep in the middle Of the
road, but he wanted the populists to take the
whole OF the road.
, Senator Allen said the party was now at the
most critical point in its history. 1t would pre-
pare platform and men would be nominated
who would stand upon that platform
Senator Butler moved the appoint
! mept of a committee of 25 delegates t
confer with conference committee o.
the silver convention. The motion wa:
agreed to. The report of the commit
tee on rules was then read, but, with
out action on it, the convention a
1O:Os adjourned till Friday morning.
