II was ten minutes TO II O'Clock

silver convention TO order. q. w
Baker, of California, said that the
Peoples Party convention had appoint
conference committee and moved
that the convention defer action
on the platform and postpone the NOM
ination until $3.50 P. VI. The motion
prevailed.
No business was transacted during
the day, the time being taken up in
the rendering Of silver speeches.
poems and songs.
Friday night, after the committee Of
seven appointed to confer with the
Populists, had reported that no agree.
ment could be reached, the convention
proceeded TO close its business. The
platform was read and adopted with
out change. A motion was then made
TO nominate Bryan and Sewsll by &C.
clamation. Amid much excitement
the motion carried. The convention
then adjourned sine die.

OF exchange and public necessity, the
government should own and operate the
railroads in the interest of the people
on a nonpartisan basis, to the end that
all may be accorded the same treatment
in transportation, and that the tyranny

the great railroad corporations, which
result in the impairment, if not the
destruction of the political rights and

destroyed. Such ownership is to be
accomplished gradually in manner
consistent with sound public policy.

times bordered on actual riot, and
which almost precipitated personal col.
lisions. The Texas delegates headed
the opposition and clung to the middle
Of the road to the last.
The Populist Bryan managers decid.
ed early Saturday to disregard Mr.
Bryan's telegram OF Friday and to
nominate him and straighten out the
tangle afterwards. They started out
to rush his nomination through before
any other candidate could be put in
the field.
General Weaver, Of Iowa, the Popu.
list candidate in 1892, in a mastery
address, placed Bryan in nomination,
and General Field, of Virginia, who
was formerly Weaver's running mate,
after brief speech, moved to make
the nomination unanimous.
About fifty seconding speeches were
then made, and some of them were
both eloquent and brilliant.
The middle.o of.the.road contingent
insisted upon knowing at every oppor.
tunity whether, in view of his tele.
gram, Bryan would stand on the plat.
form and accept the nomination. But
all these pointed questions were neatly
parried. Judge Green, of Nebraska
and others, vouched for Bryans sym.
pathy with Populistic principles, but
that was all the satisfaction the radi.
Gals could get.
A roll.call by states was taken, anc
when it was completed, it was found
that Bryan had l,042 out of the ,34i
votes in the convention. Frank S
Norton, of Chicago, was the only Other
candidate. lgnatius Donnelly, of Min

were nominated, but their names wer,

Finance.

First-We demand a national money,
safe and sound, issued by the general
government only, without the interven.
tion of banks of issue, to be a full legal
tender for all debts, public and private;
a just, equitable and efficient means of
distribution direct to the people and
through the lawful disbursements of
the government.
Second-We demand the free and
unrestricted coinage of silver and gold
at the present legal ratio of 16 to l,
and without waiting for the consent of
foreign nations.
Third-We demand that the vol.
ume of circulating medium be speedily
increased to an amount sufficient to
meet the demands of the business and
the population of this country, and to
restore the just level of prices and la.
Dor production.
Fourth-We denounce the sale of
bonds and the increase of the public
interest. bearing debt, made by the
present administration, as unnecessary
eAN "4bAOut oHtAO14ty VI ldMs anu We
demand that no more bonds be issued
except by specific action of congress.
Fifth-We demand such legislation
as will prevent the demonetizing of the
lawful money of the United States by
private contract.
Sixth-We demand that the govern.
ment, in payment of its obligations,
shall use its option as to the kind of
lawful money in which they are to be
paid, and we denounce the present and
preceding administrations for surren-
dering this option to the holders of
government obligation securities.
Seyenth-We demand graduated
income tax, to the end that aggregate
wealth shall bear its just proportion of
taxation, and we regard the recent de.
cision of the supreme court, relative to
the income tax law, as a misinterpreta-
tion of the constitution. an invasion of
the rightful powers of congress on the
subject Of taxation.
Eighth-We demand that postal saw.
ings banks be established by the gov.
ernment for the safe deposit Of the saw.
ings of the people and to facilitate ex-
change.

General Propositions.

First-We demand the election Of
president, president and United
States senators by direct vote of the
people.
Second-We tender to the patriots
people of Cuba our deepest sympathy
in their struggle for political freedom
and independence, and we believe The
time has come when the United States
the great republic of the world, should
recognize that Cuba Is, and OF right
ought to be, free and independent
state.
Third-We favor home rule in the
territories and the District of Colum'
bia, and the early admission of the ter.
ritories as states.
Fourth-All public salaries should
be made to correspond to the price Of
labor and its products.
Fifth-In times of great industrial
depression, idle labor should be EN-.
ployed on public works as far as prac.
ticsble.
Sixth-The arbitrary course Of the
court in assuming to imprison citizen:
for indirect contempt and ruling them
by injunction should be prevented by
proper legislation.
Seventh-We favor just pensions for
every disabled Union soldier.

franchise and untrammeled ballot are
essential to a government of, for and
by the people, the Peoples party con-
demns the wholesale system of disfran'
chisement adopted in some of the state:
as unrepublican and undemocratic, and
we declare it to be the duty of the sew

tion as will secure a full and free snd
fair ballot and an honest count.
Ninth-While the foregoing PROPOSE

party stands upon and for the vindica'

tained, we recognize that the great and
pressing issue of the pending campaign
upon which the presidential election
will turn, is the financial question
and upon this great and specific ISSUE
between the parties we cordially invite

cations and citizens agreeing with .!

POPULlST PLATE ORM.


Held at st. Louis.
Following is the Populist platform,
as agreed upon by the committee on
resolutions and adopted by the st. Louis
convention:
The Peoples Party, assembled in ma
tional convention, reaffirms its allegi.
ance to the principles declared by the
founders of the republic, and also TO
the fundamental principles Of just gov
eminent as enunciated in the platform
Of the party in 1892. We recognize
that, through the connivance of the
present and preceding administrations,
the country has reached a crisis in its
national life, as predicted in our dec
laration four years ago, and that
prompt and patriotic action is the su.
preme duty of the hour. We realize
that, while we have political independ.
ence, our financial and industrial in
dependence is yet to be obtained by re.
storing TO our country the constitution.
al control and exercise of the functions
necessary to a peoples government,
which functions have been basely sur
rendered by our public servants to cor.
porate monopolies. The influence of
European money changers has been
more potent in shaping legislation than
the voice Of the American peoplej
Executive power and patronage have
been used to corrupt our legislatures
and defeat the will of the people, and
plutocracy has thereby been enthroned
upon the ruins of democracy. To re-
store the government intended by the
fathers of the country, for the welfare
and prosperity of this and future gen.
erations, we demand the establishment
Of an economic and financial system
which shall make US masters of our
own affairs and independent of Eu-
ropean control by the adoption of the
following declaration of principles:

ST. Louis, Mo.-At the first days
session Of the silver convention not
much headwsy was made. The pro-
gramme Of the conference was all az
ranged in advance. Il included simply
the adoption Of a l6-to-l platform and
the nomination Of Bryan and Sewsll,
but those in charge Of it deemed it
good policy 10 90 slow in the belef that
they might, by remaining in SESSION, be
able 70 exercise an influence in shaping
things in the Populist convention. To
this end, they appointed a committee of
seven, headed by Judge Scott. Of Cali.
fornis, 70 meet a similar committee OF
the Populists for the purpose Of reach
ing a common plan Of action. The
convention was called TO order by Ma.
tional Chairman Mott, who introduced
Francis 2. Newlands, Of Nevada, as
temporary chairman. Mr.. Newlands
addressed the convention at some
length, and was followed by other
speakers setting forth the claims Of the
Eilverites.
