A Full Account of "Rev Dr." Embree's
Convention.
THE JOURNAL has published how
two.thIrds of the delegates left the
regular Populist convention at Dallas
held convention acd elected dele
gates to the state convention fOl
Union.
Below we print a report of the Pop
ulist convention which is taken from
the Dallas ltemiZeT, fair and Inde-
pendent paper:
THE ITEMIZER REPORT.
The precinct delegates met in the
court house in Dallas last wednesday
at 10 in the forenoon. Doctor EN-
bree was made chairman and FINLEY
Edgar was chosen secretary Com
mittees we're appointed as follows:
Credentials, j. M. Dennis, R' III.
Chapin. and r. b. Carpenter; on or
ganization, j. X. Sears, Harvey Gage,
r. g. Stakely; on platform, Henry
Black, Q. NJ. Dodson, w. Z. Hemnree.
After a caustic and Characteristic
middle-o -the-road speech oy Jhe
chairman, recess was taken until
after dinner to give the committees
time TO report,
quite a number of credentials not in
the prescribed form and after long
ard heated discussion of the matter,
I. X. Sears moved that all delegates
who would subscribe to the Omaha
and St, Louis platform and the initia-
tive and referendum should be ad-
mitted to seats in the convention.
The motion was ruled out of order,
and thereupon over half of the dele
gates walked out and at the city hall
held a convention of their own, or
which see report elsewhere.
The following delegates were ap-
proved:
East Dallas, Thomas Cleary, Il. b.
Carpenter, Henry Black, 5, F.ThomP-
son, N. Dornsife.
North Dallas, r. H. Chaplin, .. M,
Dodson, X. G. Stakely, Tide brown
ID. B. Klassen.
South Dallas, DR.. Embree, WIN.
Galloway, Morgan Ellis. =,
Mccoy, j. K. Sears, e. Bell, Fred
Redaway.
Falls City, j. Nj. Dennis, Harvey
Gage, w, IL. Milligan.
Rock Creek, Finley Edgar, warren
Wright.
Suver, II. Frum.
The committee on organization ana
order of business recommended Jnab
the nomination OF candidates DE de-
ferred to a later date, but the major
ity ruled otherwise and these nonlua-
tlOns we're made: r,
Representative, DR.. Emoree, h' "
Stakely.
Sheriff, Tide Brown.
Treasurer, r.. B. Carpenter.
Clerk. S. Q. Dodson.
Commissioner, j. NJ. Dennis.
County school superintendent,

VIM. Galloway, Henry Black and
r. ii. ChapIn are TO serve as an eX'
ecutiye committee, and IL. Olmsted,
James Sparks, f. a. Link, X: b.
Carpenter, S. G. Dodson, II. B. V. EN-
bree and Il. NJ. Edgar are to act as
county central committee.
Ed. Bell, j. NJ. Dennis, DR.. EN-,
bree, r. fl. Chaplin, s. G. Dodson and
Clyde Embree we're chosen delegates
to the state convention.
Besides the report of the committee
on resolutions there was another oy
DR.. Embree denuuncing Pennoyerlsm,
Mitchellism and Bryanism. Onlook-
ers seemed to greatly ENJOY bne ups
and downs of the occasion. AS stern
uous Populists as Max Haley and j. b:
Stump were excluded because OF
informalities and j. X. Sears soon
had enough of it and in disgust sought
the freedom of the outer air. IL had
evidently been fully determined IN ad-
vance that nome but radical, uncom-
promising middle of the readers
Should haye a voice in the convention.
Count the accepted delegates and ask
Yourself how many Of them and their
candidates are representative, success
conservative persons will pronounce
the proceedings of the convention as
a radical farce. Every member OF u
is pronounced silver man.. and each
of them knows full well that every
vote cast for any of their candidates
will be a help to the gold standard
which the have 80 bitterly denoun-
ced.
