The Peoples League got out an address yes
terday reafirming the principles Of tho Chicago
platform and declaring that those who fought
last fall In the front ranks Of greed and monop-
oily cannot now DO trusted to serve the cause OF
the people,"
All the other Bryan organizations of the city
are also In the field and are actively at work.
These include the Progressive Democratic
League, the Democratic League Of Kings coun'
ty, the Young Democracy. the Knights OF La
Dor, and the Peoples party. The matter which
has caused most worry for these Bryan men 10
the problem of uniting all these ORGANIZATIONS
for concerted action. At last . conference mas
been arranged for. to DO held at the headquar-
tiers OF the Kings County Democratic League
In Brooklyn, tomorrow night.
One OF the m which was strongest IN
bringing about this conference is the fact that
the Peoples party seems to have some sort OF a
right to a party emblem and place on the ohiciai
ballot. 1t is tho only one of all the Bryan Or
CARNATIONS, excepting Tammany Hall, which
has this right, and the Bryan Chicago platform
radicals are prepared to rally around the Peo-
Piles party cloverleaf emblem II they cannot get
what they want from Tammany. The benefits
which will come from this right to nominate as
aparty have all been duly considered and the
bryanites who are suspicious OF Shechan
and Mclaughlin and fear that the street
railroad influence is too, strong In the reg.
ular Democratic organization, are ready
to get together as the Peoples party and
make nominations for, every office, to be
filled at the election. II 1t were decided to OPP
pose the Tammany Hall ticket with, a straight
out Bryan ticket and that ticket had to be made
by petition, there would be many districtsi In tho
city where there would be failure to nominate
incomplete ticket on the ballot and the ticket
would consequently lose much OF It's effective
ness.
There was q Peoples party ticket last year.
The party's candidates for electors and state
officers were the same as those of the regular
different set Of electors. but their candidates. BY
arrangement, all resigned In the interest OF the
Bryan. and Sewall electors, who were substi.
tuted for them. The election law provides that
party nominations can be made only by O. party
which cast 10, 900 votes In the State at the last
pies party did not have a distinct candidate for
Governor in 1895 they base their claim to
party privileges under the law on their vote
for State officers in 1895, when they cast more
than 10000 votes for their candidates. Tho
Peoples party managers say that their party
cast the requisite number Of votes for Wilbur
F. Porter to secure, to them party privileges
mocracy has no greater right under the law
than they have. They say that the Secretary
of State cannot say how many Of the 574,524
votes cast for Porter for Governor were cast by
the Democrats and what proportion by the
Pops. It Is fair to assume. they say, that at
ticket in 1895 voted for Porter In 1896. This
claim has been submitted to good lawyers, who
say that the Pops are entitled to their party
column on the ballot.
