ference committee reported that the

places or the ticket. The populists
refused to give more han the lieuten-
ant governorship to the democrats and
PROCEEDED 10 the discussion OF the plat
form. The populist convention, at AIS

vention and Endorsed by the democratic

Of interest-bearing bonds. for the ex-
pense of carrying on the war.
