with cheers. to which he Responded by
saying he did not come here to make q
speech but TO assist in nominating q
President and preparing a platform
which should bring hope to the people.
He was listened to with attention as he
proceeded to discuss the cause of the ex-
listing conditions of distress, which he
summarized as the combined action of
the moneyed interests of the world to
make money dear and property and labor
cheap.
Mr.. George Fred Williams Of Massa-
ohusetts was next called upon and was
greeted with cry, Three cheers for
George Fred Williams." He conlbntted
the assertion that the seat of the EN- pire
had been transferred from the Atlantic
coast to the Mississippi valley. The seat
of empire was where it ever was, in the
states of the Union. and the battle now
being waged was for the restoration of
the Union of the states. He begged there
might be no other word of sectionalism
heard in this convention. The fight was
not to transfer the seat of empire from
the East to the West, hut to transfer the
control of the Treasury and your money

centres of industry in the United States.

All day long the torrid sun had
flashed down his binding rays upon the
yellow sands till they seemed to CLEAN
with the terrible heat. AS far as the
eve could reach there was no sign of
vegetation, nothing but sand, sand,
sand, till the vision grew weary. In
the sky, like specks of blackness, vul-
lures hung suspended, circling around
and around while they scanned the
plain for some new victim of the heat,
for another man or animal whose de-
caying flesh might satisfy their loath-
some appetites. Ever and anon, too,
as one proceeded, could be seen the
bones of those who had gone before
bleached white by the awful heat.
And in the midst of the stiffness, the
desolation and the heat, two wayfarers
were wandering on. Their hands were
empty, for their provisions were long
exhausted and they had long since
thrown aside their guns as useless in
cumbrances.
On and on they .rudged, maddened
by their terrible hunger and thirst,
when suddenly they perceived mass Of
rock which rose directly in their path.
There was a natural opening. Through
it they rushed.
