Cut short the Addresses.

TO the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Can't you advocate IN your courteous.
graceful way, short speeches upon tho
great occasion we are looking forward TO
with such interest? There will be gentle
men to speak well worth listening 10,
but twenty minutes may suffice for them
10 give great pleasure. The orators can
cut their orations down 10 that, and
publish the whole In the Dispatch. We
are very restless people. A one or
two hours speech upon hot day viii
be fearful trial to the thousands within
and without the hail, while an
exordium, brief narrative. and an
eloquent peroration, will greatly crafty
such an audience and VIII whet their ap-
petites for more of the same in the
mornings Dispatch. Yours respectfully,
ID. II. MAURY.
There IS much force IN what General
Maury says. Where an audience is seated
and the hall Is cool and comfortable. the
people are more patient than they could
be expected to be where different condi-
lions prevail or where they have to stand.
The method that the General proposes is
entirely practicable and was adopted by
DIR. Hoge when he delivered the great ora
ton at the unwilling OF the Stonewall
jackson statue here. However, we shall
not press the matter further, as We Rich
monders are 10 be the hosts OF the occa-
sion, ana must and will insist that all
that our guests do Is Well done.-Edtor.

P0PULIST ADDRESS.
II Expresses Disgust With the Republl-
can National Convention.
THE BOSS IN POLITICS.
He Was More Securely Enthroned
mt st. Louis Than Anywhere Re-
ccnt1y-He Must BE overthrown-
Teller the Man to Do II.

ST. LOUIS, June aO-The result OF the
Populist conference here was made public
this evening. II Is n circular addressed
particularly 20 PopulIsts and generally
to voters Of every party The document
IL signed by twenty-five leading Populists
from six Western and Southern States.
1t says:
Expressly disclalmlng any purpose or
right to bind any party or person by the
views as set forth, we but yield TO an
overpowering sense Of duty in saying
what we do to members Of the Peoples
party. and to all good citizens. who. APP
pretending the approach Of a momentous
crisis in our countrys life, are willing
to avert it by acts Of exalted patriotism.
We came to ST. Louis as citizens and
members of the Peoples party to be
present at the meetings Of the Republi-
can National Convention, that we might
determine more definitely for ourselves
the true aim OF that organization in the
present struggle.
Here, we have seen the boss In poll
ties more securely enthroned. more SER
vilely obeyed, and more dictatorial as to
candidates and policy than has ever be-
fore been witnessed in the field Of ma
tional politics. One man, the perfection
OF his type. representing the millionaires,
the banks. the corporations. the trusts,
and every other remorselesS and pluto
cratic element I'm our country's life, has
through the power OF money, dictated the
nomination of Mr.. Mckinley, and shaped
the platform OF his party
I'VE have witnessed a convention, mag
niflcent in numbers. pretending to rep
resent free American constituencies,
moving for three days as II hand OF
terror was above them. whose might they
dare not attempt. and whose imperious
pointings 1t was impossible 10 dlsobey.
This convention slavishly responding 70
the will Of the money-power. has forced
an issue which must be met. II Is a
challenge to the yeoman of the land II
1t shall succeed, the letters OF a tyranny,
more grinding than that OF cKars or
emperors, will be driven upon the plain
people OF the country-fetters which must
be indefinitely worn. with the contempti-
BILE spirit inseparable from vikings serfs
or. in the end. be broken with the r.
resistible power OF q mighty revolution"
The address names Henry NJ. Teller
as the man for the occasion. and urges
that all interests opposed to the gold
standard unite upon him.
