MEETINGS AT OMAHA.


Chairman Butler has called a meeting
of the national committee for a confer
cree at Omaha Wednesday, June Is,
and no doubt the Nashville committee
upon organization, will meet at the
same time Chairman Burkitt, of the
Reform Press, has called the annual
meeting of that association for the same
place on Monday, the 18th Of June.
The state committee of the Nebraska
Independent Peoples party meets the
14th, l believe, as it was intended to
call it the day before the national meet
ing, so that Omaha will be filled with
Populists the middle Of June.
The editors of the Reform Press asso-
citation were invited to vote for ST.
Paul Louisville or Kansas City, but on
account of the exposition they generally
preferred Omaha, excepting the Texas
state convention, favoring Chicago. The
exposition will be magnificent attrac-
ton. Prof. Vincent for authority, says
it will be worth four of the Nashville
expositions, and that exhibit was con-
sidered something way up in the first
grade.
Editors desiring to join the assOcia-
ton will please write the secretary, Jo
A. Parker, Louisville, KY. The fees
are 81. The railroads, as a rule, will
exchange TRANSFORMATION for advertising
If help is needed in making the trade,

By H. Selover.
Our fusion experience of '96 makes the
people feel that reform will not come
by the aid of the ballot alone. that the
money power is too solidly established
to be overthrown by these means
When saw the Peoples Party work it's
way up to something like two million
votes I began to take courage ard catch
a ray of hope for the future. But that
hope has been blighted by the plottings
of place-hunters and traitors who are
/ fusionists in the party, but call them
selves honorable" co-operators. Their
meanness is alone exceeded by their
impudence. So again / despair AS to
nominating only Populists, will say that

OPPOSED TO HALFWAY POPULISTS.
By Charles H Smith


l believe that the outlook for the re-
vival Of the Populist Party is very
good All that is necessary is to get
re-organized. Our men are discouraged
and want encouragement. If we do as
they did in Illinois all will be well. The
convention will dispel the darkness and
disclose who are our enemies and who
are our friends. l regret that one or
two of our former generals on whom we
relied are heard talking fusion or CO.
operation and abusing Donnelly. l will
not vote for O. man On our ticket who is
not mid-roader Populist nor will I
help to nominate any fusion Populist.
AS for putting men into the field that
are only half way Populists I am utter
ly against it.

MARRY THE PARTY THAT CAN'T
SUPPORT ITSELF.
By M. p. Moran.

The mid-road bell has the right ring.
The rings of the trust as well as of the
corrupt fusion politicians are in discord
with the true interests of the people If
the state convention is packed then to
save the life of the Peoples Party we
must have the courage to leave the
convention and organize elsewhere.
These are times which try mans souls.
We would be unworthy of the names of
Populists if we yield TO office-seekers.
Milkandwater men have never raised
nation from bondage. Flowery
speeches are like castles built on sand.
The pleading that cold steel makes even
kings understand. Let us show those
cowardly pie-hunters the steel that free
men WELD l would rather a thousand
times go down to defeat with justice
and right on my side than gain one vic
tory linked with mighty corruption. 1t
is impossible to mix clean and sUiled
water together without making both
muddy. Let towards and traitors stand
ASIDE. Let Tree men clear inc way.
The men that would hesitate, at being
called by any name, when his country is
in danger is not fit to be called free
man. There is no room for three re-
form parties. If the fusionists are sim
cere in their reform movement let them
stand on the Omaha platform or pitch
their tent in Halifax. They can have
their gold and silver money. Give us
the money that restored the union, freed
and clothed 100000 soldiers, that
brought peace and plenty to our once
happy and free country. The immortal
Lincoln did not ask for fusion, but said
root hog or die" If others want to
join their enemies in marriage we find
no fault with that, but Populists would
rather their party remain as an old maid
than marry a man that cannot stand on
his own bottom.

The Cuban debt question has thus

they considered, by the peace prelim-

already said, the precise and concise

They remarked, according to my
