The POpulist Convention.

The Populists held their mass con
vention in the Council rooms, and or
ganized by selecting Sam Wyatt fol
chairman aud 7. N. Pring1e for secre
tary. Before proceeding any further
F. G. Spencer introduced a resolution
denouncing Senator McReavy, Repre-
sentative Hicks. County Commission
ers Duckworth and Latham and Coun-
ty Attorney Hartman, for alleged mis-
conduct in office, and declaring that
the Popu1ists would not fuse unless
the fusion parties were purged of these
men. The resolutions came in for a
warm debate, but were defeated by
one vote, and Col. Hartman and Mr.
Covil1 decided that they were not want
ed and retired from the convention.
Later the convention substituted AS
SCISSOR Forbes for condemn alton in
place of Attorney Hartman, but they
failed to pass.
The original resolution was as fol.
lows.
WHEREAS, the populists having previously
severed their relations from the two old Parties;
and,
WHEREAS, one of the many reasons for so do
ing this is the corrupt Officers in the old Part
les; and,
WHEREAS, it appears that some of the POpu
list officers are guilty of corruption in office
Therefore be it;
RESOLVED, by this Convention that we con
denim the official acts of our last Representative
s. D. Hicks for his action in the Legislature, es
pecialy, for his votes against the Canut r. R
Bill,
And, also the official acts of G.. w. Hartman
our present Prosecuting Attorney, especial.
for his advice to the Board of County Commits
sionerS in their settlement with the Northern
Pacific R. R. Co. for their back taxes:
The final action resulted in condemn.
ing Hicks only.
After the action on the condemn a
tory resolutions the convention ap
pointed a conference committee to sub
nit the result to the Democratic con
vention, but that body, squirming un
der the populist insult, promptly ant
unanimously voted to not fuse after q
hot and acrimonious debate directed
against the populist party in general
The balance of the afternoon was
spent in canvassing the new state o
affairs, and in the evening anothe
committee was sent to the democrats
to see if fusion could not be effected.
The matter of reconsideration was pu
to vote but defeated, and the popu
lists returned to their meeting p1ac,
and placed the following county tickle
in nomination
