Whnt the Conference Meant.

Congressman NJ w. Howard of Ala
bama, in recent interview, gives hi:
opinion of the outcome of the Nash
villne conference, substantially as fol
lows:
"The Nashville declarations are simp
ly a reaffirmation of the Peoples party
platforms-a of them. No lodging
no squirming, but flatfooted declara
ton that all will understand, and none
can misunderstood They will create
no clash, no split, but will produce
harmony among all Populists.
AS for the committee on organiza
tion, that is in no sense antagonistit
to the national committee. It's purpost
is expressed by it's name 1t is to be
and will be simply committee on or
ganization. A big man, M ilton Park,
is at its head; and l am certain he and
the committee will work hand in hand
with Senator Butler and the nationa
committee toward the betterment an,
the increase Of the party. So long i:
the committee confines itself to the
purposes as set forth in resolution
creating it, there can be no possible Oh
lection to it or it's purposes by any true
Populist. And am sure the committe,
will 80 act.'
