THoMsON'S SPEECH.

| Chairman Thomson said he supposed
it devolved upon him to make speech,
but he didn't propose to Go 1t. He
| broke this VOW however, and launched
into a two-minute statement of the
situation. declaring that the Demo-
cratic party had adopted most of the
Populist platform. Still there was a
place for the Peoples party, which
would continue in its mission until it
succeeded in forcing the entire plat
form upon the party of Jefferson and
Jackson. It's a sure thing" he said,
that the Populist principles are grow
ing"
The next thing in order was the
selection of a credential committee and
the chair named Vinson, Smith and
Hall.
When Scott Anderson moved that
the chair appoint a committee of three
members on permanent organization
and order of business the chairman OBJ
jected.
ITS against the principles of the
Populist party" he said, Ito delegate
to one man such a power and 1 am IN
favor of having these men. selected
from the floor of the house"
The objection was sustained by the
house and Scott Anderson, Thomson
and Dittman were chosen.
THIS WAS FUNNY.
The next thing in order was the
selection of a committee on platform.
THE question is do we want a plat
form?" inquiringly suggested Law
renee.
why, certainly" responded Foster
that's about all the Pops can do"
While the ballot was being taken
Lawrence wanted to know what to
put into the platform.
Il suppose he said, eve shall have
to begin by calling the other parties
bad lott
Yes, thatll do" was the approving
response OF a long -whiskered delegate.
The vote resulted in the choice of
Anderson, Lawrence and Foster. Then
the delegates adjourned until 2 O'Clock.
The attendance in the afternoon at
one time reached 30, and while the
committee on credentials was getting
ready to report S. II. B. Smith with
great vigor recited: Il am thankful
that the sun and moon and stars were
hung so high that no robbers hand
can reach them. and the effort ELECTED
much clapping of hands and stamping
of feet.

If the Populists of Salt Lake county
do not turn out in any greater num-
bers at the polls in November than
they did at their county convention
yesterday the ticket put up will lack a
few votes of being elected.
When Warren Foster jestingly
moved that we disband as a Populist
party and join the Democrats the
motion might as well have carried in
earnest, for the party seems to be no
more a potent factor in politics, at
least not in this county.

He Gets the Decision Over Rubin In
the Twentieth Round.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, May 23.-The fight
last night between Kid Mccoy and Gus
Rubin, the latter of Cleveland, re.
suited in a decision for Mccoy after
twenty rounds. Three thousand per
sons were in the Alhambra, where the
fight was held. There vas little bet
ting on the result and the showing
made by Rubin was a surprise. He
stood a lot of punishment and was al
ways ready to come back for more.
He was apparently strong at the finish.
Mccoy says that he will now meet
Goddard and then Choynski. There
was a great difference in the
weight of the men, Mccoy, according
to his statement, weighing 1877 pounds,
and Rubin, according to Billy Madden,
his manager, tipping the scales at 1sC
pounds. Sixty per cent of the gate re-
ceipts are to be divided between the
men, Mccoy taking rs per cent and
Rubin rs per cent in place of a So,
purse. George Siler, of Chicago, acted
as referee. When he rendered his de-
%cision. Jim Corbett leaped into the ring
and asked Mccoy to fight him, but the
latter declined to consider the matter
and refused to make any arrangements.

A MADRID VIEW OF 1T.
Cervcra's Exploit Regarded as Proof OF
the IncrectIyeness of the Blockade.

Ceryera's Exploit Regarded as Proof or
the IncffectIyeness of the Blockade.
LONDON, May 23.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily News says;
admiral Cervcra's dispatch from
Santiago de Cuba to the minister OF
marine contained further details for
the information of the government
alone. 1t is pointed out here that the
American plan was to gain command OF
the sea as a condition to future move
ments. Admiral Cervera's brilliant
move-reminding of Lord Nelson
race from the West Indies to Trafalgar
and his escape from the French-de-
prives America of the command OF the
sea, and demonstrates to the world
that the blockade of Cuba is merely
nominal.
Admiral Cervera has given the slip
to two powerful fleets that have been
securing the ocean for a fortnight in
an cndeavor to catch him. All the
American schemes depend ~thereupon.
Admiral Cervera, with four cruisers
and a few d~estroyers, alone in the At
%lantic, ignoring events in Cuba and
Porto Rico, and the position of the
American squadron, has out-man-
euvered, disorganized and dispersed
the latter, making the Americans be-
lieve they were threatened On every
side.
The torpedo boats Azor, Rayo and
Ariete steamed from the Cape Verde
islands to the Canaries with the utmost
precautions, hugging the coast by day
and covering their lights by night.
The Ariete, slightly damaged, was
towed by the Ciudad de Cadiz and the
transports carried the smaller boats of
the Vizcaya, the Almirante Oquendo,
the Cristobal Colon and the Infanta
