whereas, we cannot hope to march to victory
without the aid of the press. Now, therefor?
be it
Resolved, That each and all of the delegates
representing the people of our respective dis
tricts, subscribe our names to and open our
purses for the payment of sum sufficiently
large to buy, equip, edit, publish and cause to
be printed an official organ of our party for the
entire State of California, to be issued twice
per week during the campaign, after which it
shall be a weekly paper. Be it further re-
solved, that each and all spread as many of
these papers as possible in their respective dis
tricts among unbelievers, thereby increasing
our ranks and augmenting our vote and carry
ing our banner forward victoriously next No
vember, so that our hopes and promises may
at once be realized. And if, in spite of these
comforts, we should, through lack of numbers,
suffer defeat, we may still have an organ diff
fusing life and energy to our members, that
not only the old ones viii keep up heart ana
remain with US, but that our numbers will in
crease and that four years hence we shall
easily gain the victory.

PopuIst Delegates Arrived in Sacramento

Peoples party on the Omaha platform at
the next election.
In Georgia the party has record OF
$1,000 votes. in Virginia of 10000, and it
carried Alabama twice, if the votes were
allowed of be counted. The majority of the
county offices in Kansas last fall were won
by Populists, and they carried Colorado
by majority OF 1000. In Nebraska in 1894
they cast $1,000 votes for Governor, with
the Endorsement of the silver party, and in
1895, when the silver Democrats ran inde-
pendent and the Populists put a straight
ticker in the field on the Omaha platform,
they polled 107, 900 votes.
When asked whether an opposition cam
didate would be put against him in the
convention, Mr.. Gator said that he had
heard of no opposition and knew of none,
except what he had seen in THE CALL this
morning. that A. Fl. Rose was to contest
with him for the honor, but of this he
knew nothing personally.
At a late hour tonight canvass among
the delegates, m ost of whom have arrived,
indicates that Gator will receive the NOM
ination. in all probability by acclama-
ton, and that the reported opposition to
him will be smothered the moment it
makes itself manifest.

looked as though he would have to con-
tinue the remainder of the journey in the
saddle, but he found blacksmith who re-
paired the damage, and he reached Wood
land on the third day.
The trip was not marked by any Incl
dent, eventful or otherwise, except that he
was stood up on road near Capay and
forced to pay 25 cents toll, which he con-
sidered an outrage of the same grade as
the poll tax. 1t was not populistic.
Mr.. Lee remained at Woodland all
night, but was obliged to leave his horse
and cart at that place, because of the food
between Woodland and Sacramento. So,
after all, he was obliged to patronize the
Octopus and ride in the cars just the came
as if he were plain Democrat, Republi-
can or Prohibitionist.
On reaching Sacramento he walked five
miles out of town to see the brother of one
of his neighbors, and walked back again to
the State House as lively as cricket.

woman suffragists and Mrs. T. V. Gator,
woman delegate from San Francisco, ar
rived to-day. Among the delegation were
Miss Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. A. A. Sar-
gent and Mrs. Ida A. Harper.
They came not because they had any
doubt that woman suffrage plank would
be inserted in the State platform, but be-
cause it was required of them as o matter
OF courtesy that they should attend the
convention. Fer a like reason they will
appear before the Prohibition Convention,
which will meet in Stockton at the latter
end OF this week.
Mr.. Rodgers is delegate and will in
cidentally look after Mayor Sutro's fight
for Congress. Several OF the delegates
said tonight that they did not think that
Sutro would get anything at the hands of
the convention because he was railroad
man himself and money-maker in capi-
talistic enterprises and that therefore he
would not be at home in q Populistic
environment.
The convention will be called to order at
10 o'clock tomorrow in the Assembly
Chamber, and it is now expected there
will be a two days session. Words of
strong commentator are heard on every
side for the local committee of arrange
ments for its preparations for the conven-
ton. The composition of the committee
is as follows: L. NJ. Landsborough, W. T.

FUSION NOT LIKELY.
California PopuIists More Willing to Go
Down Among the Breakers Than
Sacrifice Principle.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May I1.-Among
the best known leaders of the party here
is NJ. w. Wilkins of San jose Mr.. Will
kins is editor of the Populist organ, New
Charter, and is the head of the anti-fusion
element.
"There will be no fusion" he said to a
CALL reporter this afternoon. Nationally
don't believe that there will be silver
convention to fuse with, and the indica-
tlons are that there will be silver ticket
in the field put in by boiling Democrats,
to which the fusion members will flock
Leading silver men, such as Bartine and
Warner, say that the permanency of the
silver party will depend upon what the
old parties do. The California Populists
will be in the middle of the road with a
platform as radical as the Omaha plat
form. and perhaps more so.'
Mr.. Wilkins reiterated that the Popu-
lists wanted no fusion. They will depend
upon their own resources. He found that
the feeling in the party against fusion
was growing stronger and stronger every
day. But while there is a deep-seated
prejudice against fusion the party would
not object to union of forces at st. Louis
ii there Is anything to unite. The dis
tinction between fusion and union as made
by Mr.. Wilkins is that fusion is an ar
rangement between two parties standing
upon separate platforms and dividing the
offices on the ticket, half to one party and
half to the other. Union means joining
together of men or parties and under a
common platform and with only one set
of candidates forming one party. IF there
should be silver convention in st. Louis
and the silverites and Populists should
unite upon the same platform and on the
same candidates there would be no objec-
tion and there would not be any inconsis-
tency in that proceeding, provided that
the Populists would not be required to
compromise any of the fundamental prin-
ciples OF their platform. California Popu-
lists are essentially and emphatically- op-
posed to any sacrifice of principle, and
rather than do so they would be willing to
60 down among the breakers.
Speaking of the advance of the party
and the growing popularity of radicalism
Mr.. Wilkins said that under the radical
platform OF 1894 the Populist gained an
average of lie per cent of votes in this
State. He quoted the New York Worlds
article OF two or three weeks ago giving
the facts relating to the increase in the
Populist vote and stating that if Populism
had shown no increase from 1892 to 1894
there might be reason to believe that the
party had died, but the New York Worlds
figures show an increase of 600, 900. The
increase in California was $4,000 on an
average from 1892 to 1894. There have
polled as high as $1,000 votes in this State.
The average in this State for 1892 was
25,562 votes for Weaver and IN 1894 the
number had increased to 81, 600.

AFTER THE SENATORSHIP.
Thomas v. Gator Talks About the
Strides Made by Populists in
Many States.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 11.-As
usual the big gun of the convention is
Thomas V. Gator of San Francisco, the
candidate for the nomination for the
United States senatorship of California
He is confident that he will receive the
nomination at the hands of his party.
The nomination will mean that he
is the choice of the party, and
it will pledge the Populist State Sem
ators and Assemblymen to vote for him.
Contrary to the general understanding of
the matter the nomination of a United
States Senator directly by political party
Is not an innovation. In the great contest
in Illinois between Lincoln and Douglas
in 1853 for the United States Senate they
were nominated by the State conventions.
A more recent instance is the nomination
of Foraker of Ohio by the Republican
State Convention of Ohio.
Mr.. Gator is strong anti-fusionist, and
he says that this feeling against going in
partnership with any other party has been
produced by the bitter experience of the
past, when Marion Cannon (Populist) was
elected to Congress on fusion ticket, and
when he pulled down an Assemblyman
from his allegiance to the party and threw
the principles OF Populism to the winds.
Cannon went to Congress and caused a
whirlwind of protest and condemnation
by voting for the repeal of the Sherman
act.
This feeling does not extend to a union.
provided that it can be effected without
making any sacrifice of principle. The
California delegation to the National Con-
vention will demand the principles of the
Omaha platform without any qualifica-
ton, and they will not waver from their
principles. They need not do so, and they
are In position to be independent, be-
cause the party has been gaining steadily.

sixteen Congressmed and seven United
States Senators. 1t has become National

counties and county committees in every
etate west OF the Mississippi and south of
the Ohio.
There has been no reasonable objection
made TO the Omaha platform. 1t has

forms ever written, with the quality of at

and that it's rainin' in Lunnun.
There is nothing cranky about Mr..
Griggs' appearance, his walk of lbs miles
from Healdsburg to Sacramento being the
only thing eccentric. He is just plain
rancher, with but very few words TO say.
A week ago last Wednesday he started
on his iaunt from Healdsburg and made
his first stop at Santa Rosa. He arrived
at Petaluma on Tuesday night and got
here on Wednesday morning. Then he
came up the valley on the west side of the
Sacramento River and when he reached
Davisville he was told that it would be
dangerous to attempt to cross the railroad
trestle work, which extends for several
miles over the flooded district between
Sacramento and DavisvilIe. But he came,
nevertheless, and took good care that the
Octopus did not get chance to run over
him with hog train.
ION the way met lots of Populists," he
said, land they wished the cause god
speed.''
Delegate Griggs added that the pros
poets for Populism were good in his dis
trict During the last campaign some of
the precincts cast more votes for the Pop
ulists than the Democrats received. His
people had pledged him against fusion, he
added.
1.-THE people who talk fusion are not
Populists; they claim to be. All that
fusion would accomplish would be to give
the office-seekers chance"
Delegate Lee came down from Lake
County determined to travel like lord
and not pay cent of railroad fare. He
hitched his favorite plow horse to a road
cart and started on his way along the rug
ged roads among the mountains OF the
Switzerland of America. By dint of hard
driving he made Lower Lake, distance
OF twenty-four miles, the first day. From
here to the Capay Valley the road was
rough and mountainous, and on the Sec
ond day, while making for Farriar ranch,
he broke wheel tire and for while it

A. l.. Hart of Sacramento is being dis
cussed by the Populists for place on the

He has not yet been approached on the
subject, but those who are close to him
declare that it is not likely he will accept
the honor.
A new aspirant for the Congressional
nomination in the Seventh District is A. j.

writer of the Fresno Republican.
There are to be at least three candidates
for the position of chairman of the con-

Griggs of Alexander Valley, sonoma
County, and T. +. Lee of Lakeport, Lake
County, were the heroes of the hour to-
day. Both are delegates to the convention
and are pronounced anti.fusionists.
Griggs is tall man, rather long in the
legs, and with good, substantial feet for
walking. He wears sandy beard, with
full whiskers, but his upper lip is shaved
giving him the appearance of pious dea-
con. a low-crowned straw hat imparts
rakish air and detracts from the deacon
ship, while pair of pantaloons much too
long for his lengthy legs shrek loudly for
some one to turn them up at the bottom
