With the Democrat citizens party To the
surprise Of the delegates present, Mr..
NJ. R. Prendergast was nominated by
Mr.. Costello and was supported by the
conference committee of 20 besides sew
eral of the midroad delegates (among
the latter myself) The platform was
adopted indorsing the, whole Omaha and
SH. Louis platform and declaring for in
dependent political action. Mr. Erwin
was nominated by many good earnest
Populists and endorsed as being a Pop
ulist Of the radical type" The lines
were drawn sharply on two good men for
the standard bearer OF the Populists in
an independent political campaign. With
the result that Mr.. Erwin received -
votes to Mr.. Prendergast's %. The re-
suit was announced amid much enthu-
siasm. A committee was appointed to
escort Mr.. Erwin to the hall to address
strong mid-road speech Of acceptance
and wound up his remarks by stating to
the convention the he would stand
squarely on the Peoples party platform
and accept the nomination OF the party
and make the race, regardless Of whether
he received any other party's nomination
or not. He would stand for the princi-
piles of the Peoples party as long as he
lived and would do all in his power to ad-
vance and incorporate the same into
the laws of the land"
At the conclusion of the speech Of
Mr.. Erwin, Mr.. Prendergast Ito his
credit be it said) moved to make the
nomination Of Mr.. Erwin unanimous
which was done with a hearty good
will. Mr.. Erwin made very good i'm
preston upon the delegates, and any
doubt that might have been entertained
OF Mr.. Erwin's sincerity was set aside,
and of the delegates who left the hall,
it was mora on account of the scant
courtesy they received from an exuber-
ant majority, which was regretted after
wards The men who left the conven-
ton we have reason to hope will be
found ready to do their share in elect
ing a ticket which we believe Is the
strongest of any that has been put up so
far. We cannot pass this subject with
out expressing our admiration for Mr..
Costello, DR.. Sigler, R. A. Walsh and
others who so ably, eloquently and fear
lessly advocated their cause in the midst
OF such overwhelming odds.
The ticket nominated is a straight
independent ticket and the nominees are
credited up to the Peoples party. The
whelming defeat Of the cause of fusion.

NOTICE..

The Representative has for three
months been an interesting, instruc-
tive and welcome weekly visitor In
several thousand homes where it was
unknown before. Many Republicans
and Democrats have come to realize
that their own papers do not always
tell the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, and they feel
higher duties Of the best American
citizenship by keeping informed up
ON all the vital Issues of the day.
This cannot be done by reading tho
papers Of q great newspaper trust.
The Representative is generally rec
ognized as without a peer rs an an
dependent, aggressive, and original
exponent Of political reform. Its cir
culatiOn reaches every state in the
Union and CROSSES the Sea. We have
offered the RxDes three months ON
the Thousands opportunity to become
acquainted with Its merits, believing
they would become our friends and
permanent subscribers. We cannot
continue the paper mt this pric. and
are compelled at the expiration OF
three months to drop all subscrip
tfons not renewed. We are honestly
and earnestly trying to accomplish
q great and good work and we hope
that most of our three months sub
