CINCINNATI, Sept. THE Middle.of.
1he.R Road Populists convened their Sec
ond days session Of the national con-
vention at an early hour, when the
temporary organization was made per-
manent and Chairman Iguatius DON
nelly made another radical speech,
dsnouncing all those who had co.
operated with fusion movements, and
strongly advocating the reorganization
Of the party, not only for an independ'
ent presidential ticket, but for an indie.
pendent candidate for congress, state
Offices, etc. A letter was read from
Ex-Governor David Waite Of Colorado
in which he denounced Senator Butler
as treacherous chairman and false
leader and advocated the nomination
of straight Populistic tickets for prssi-
dent and other Offices.
An elaborate address to the people of
the United States was adopted. 1t re-
aAarms the previous platform of the
Populists and covers many additional
questions, and in referring to the pres
ent Sltuatlon, IL says: .E
Roast For Senator Butler.
The Peoples party vote in 1894 and 1896
rose to nearly 1900, 600 and everything in.
dicated it's speedy national triumph In
this emergency the Democratic party saw
that it had no recourse but to steal one OF
the principles Of the despised Populists
In the Chicago convention Of 1895, in q
prearranged theatrical scene of great up
roar and enthusiasm, 1t moved to the from,
as the devoted and lifelong champion o1
that which 1t had always opposed.
Senator Butler, who is the chairman o1
cur national committee, preached disinte
grafton and Decentralization, just as Ben
edict Arnold stipulated for the scattering
of American forces, that the British
might the more readily overthrow the
young republic.
Mr.. Butler taught our forces that the
first duty Of a soldier was. to break ranks
and 90 over to the enemy. All efforts tt
chain the boundless subtilty Of this cum
ming man have been In vain. Our chie1
battle is not against the
Dsmonetixation Of Ono Metal
for the benefit Of another, but against
chaining Of the worlds progress to the
car wheels OF q prehistoric superstition
An the shape Of both metals. The whole
world today is held in check by system
of gold barter, while enterprise Ian
guishes, industry suffers and the ceme
teries are populous with the bodies o1
banhupts and suicides. We will end thu
tricks of the ofdoe-seekers by putting eu1
national ticket in the field at once. Ou
hearts 60 out to the wretched and op
pressed of the whole world. While w
demand that If either gold or silver is tt
be used, as money, both shall be so used
we Insist that the best currency this coun
try ever possessed was the full legal ten
der greenbaek Of the Civil War, and W.
look forward with hope to tho day wher
gold shall be relegated to the diseased
teeth Of the people, and the human fam
1ly possess, free Of tribute to bankers, {
governmental, full legal tender measure
Of values. made Of paper, that will OK
pand side by side with the growth o
wealth and population
