stand on the Omaha platform and believe
even 1t our organization is destroyed by
the same treacherous means which destroyed
the .Greenback party that there can be no
reform in the future except upon the fl
nancial and anti-monopoly planks of the
Omaha platform. 1t is well, if possible, to
preserve the organization.
We made a great mistake at st. Louis
and at Omaha in 1892. Our platform was un-
exceptionable, needs no amendment, so far
relates to the subjects upon which it
treats; is the first political platform in the
past ~ years that ever clearly defined the
issues and squarely met them. But We pro-
vtded no initiative and referendum means
by WHICH those whom we placed at the
head OF our organization for four years
could be compelled to observe the will and
obey the principles of the party. We adopt
ed the same old corrupt partisan caucus
convention and proxy methods which have
deprived the rank and file Of the two old
parties of every right except to vote for
the cut and dried nominations and policy
which few bosses dictate. The national
committee of the Peoples Party has as
sumed and exercised greater powers and
tyranny in this direction than the national
committee of any other political party.
Who ever heard before the reign Of Taube-
nick and Butler that any chairman of any
national committee ever dared to bolt the
national ticket of his party and still eX-
ercise the powers Of his office? Every act Of
commission or of omission of your con-
vention at Cincinnati, which recognizes in
the least the right of Senator Butler to be
the chairman of the national committee
will be qualification and further the de-
struction of the Peoples Party.
new chairman and a new national COM
mittee should be created, and means pro-
vlded to compel those officials while in Office
to support The creed and ticket of the
party.
An additional plank to the platform
should declare for free ballot and fair
count. In the South the Democracy hesi-
political power, and in the North both Re-
pubiclns and Democrats are equally guilty.
What is the use of political organizations or
of elections. even when the will of the peo-
pie is deliberately misrepresented or sup-
pressed?
Exemptions Of homesteads of the value Of
s., eco and less from taxation as well as from
execution will take the place of the income
tax, be constitutional and make us d ma
ton of homeowners and not tenants.
Let Us make intelligence the only basis
of suffrage The bulk of the ignorant vote
is corrupt and nearly all of it can be in
Inundated. 1t is the great obstacle to
form.
Unable as I am to attend. l send you this
your discretion.

Think 1t Unjust.

The Board of Trade has not got rightly
settied down to work after the long sum-
mer vacation but the session this morning
was profitable one and one which promis-
es much for the future There was little
dehnlte or final business transacted, how
ever. A special committee reported that it
was the sense of the committee that the
practice of all the railroads of the North
west, with the single exception of the Wis
consln central, of charging excess baggage
rates TOR bicycles is hardship on wheel
men which is unjust and under strict legal
nterpretion, unlawful The committee
thought that the bicycle of today is as
much the baggage of the traveller as his
umbrella. his valise, his trunk, and the
railroads under the same obligation to
carry 1t free. The matter has been de-
cided in the lower courts of the state of
Missouri, and although the appellate
court has reversed the lower court,
it is hoped that the supreme court Of the
state will affirm the lower court. 1t was
the sense of the board that the matter be
brought before the railroad and warehouse
commission of the state, and the decision
gained before the sitting of the legislature
in January. Efforts will be made to have
laws enacted at the coming session to conf
pei the railroads to allow wheelmen what
is deemed only their due.
Another important bit of business was the
appointment Of committee to meet with
the chamber of commerce Of the city of ST.
Paul, and If possible to cooperate with that
body in the framing of fire marshal law.
Other states are ahead of Minnesota in the
matter of laws for the punishment of in
cendiarism, and 1t is thought If the matter
is taken up by the leading commercial bod
les Of the two cities the legislature can be
induced to take action on the subject.
The question of the tramp nuisance was
also up for discussion, but no action was
taken beyond the expression of sympathy
for the railroads and the determination to
take the matter up at some early future
ate
The question Of the removal Of the bodies
of all the dead soldiers who fell in battle
who died in hospital during the Spanish
was made a special order for next
Tuesday. The sentiment of the meeting
seemed to be unanimously in favor of doing
everything possible to assist the friends of
the fallen to bring the bodies home for
burial, and that action be taken at the earli-
est possible date.
A not unimportant bit of business was a
motion directing the president and secre-
tary, in the name of the board to thank
President Thomas Lowry, of the Twin City
Rapid Transit company for granting g
scent rate to the State Fair. Mr.. Lowry
will be thanked in due and proper form.
