Dy any of the counties, as this is to be a
tree-for-all. At the state convention held in
March at Grand Forks to select dele

there was a split in the deal. and eleven
delegates left the hall and held con-

oerats meet and q fusion deal will be
fixed up.
Those who will meet here Friday are
unaiteraDly opposed to fusion In any FORM
They Will nominate three presidential elec-
tors and may name some state officers.
There is likely to be all kinds of con-
1uslon and some legal controversy about
placing the names Of candidates on the
state ticket this fall. Under the state
law the same party cannot appear twice
nor can the names OF candidates nomi-
mated by two parties appear more than
once There VIII be scrap between the
two branches Of Pops for the right to use
the name. and when the Democrats and
fops select presidential electors for Bryan
there Will be row over what party will
have the right to claim them. II the
fops and Democrats fuse on state officers
have the right to father the aggregation.
Altogether 1t makes little difference, as
the state Is so Overwhelmingly Republican
that the dying kicks Of the opposition will
not affect results.
The North Dakota Populists propose
to 60 it alone.
They see no necessity for fusion on
little things which. Is denied them on
great.
They see no necessity to fuse on gov
ernorships while they are told by over
whelming force of numbers that they
cannot fuse on vice-presidencies.
We find the following, which fully
sustains the foregoing:

| Populist is too poor to wear a Barker
Donnelly campaign button. 1t is prob
able that the greater number of cam
paign buttons are worn without tn,
wearer ever giving one serious though
to what the wearing of such a butto1
does or might s. gnify.
Thousands of people, old and young
but especially the young, wear a cam.
patgn button because they see Others
wearing them, because it is the fashion
because 1t is the fad, because it attracts
attention, and possibly because it is
deemed ornamental.
With such people the wearing of any
campaign button signifies weakness
rather than strength, frivolity rather
than determined purpose, vanity rather
than an earnest and honest desire to
influence for the right.
Such people. to be up to the fashion
and to be on to the popular fad, will, of
course, select one of the old party but
tons.
We believe that during this campaign
the wearing of DISCRETIONARY button
will everywhere have deeper meaning.
This button will mark strength Of
character rather than weakness, courag-
eous and determined purpose rather than
partisan servility. It will be a symbol
of reform as distinguished from a trust
badge or badge Of broken promises.
1t will signify the quiet determination
Of reform minority rather the braggaA
docio of the unthinking majority.
It will mark the aggressive fighter for
principles as distinguished from the
fawning supplicant for party favor. The
Barker-Donnelly button, wherever worn,
will be chip upon the shoulder of
American manhood. 1t will be a plat
form OF economic rights, and declara-
ton Of political independence. Order
buttons at once; wear during the cam
paign the only button that has a mean
ing; pin one onto your old party friend,
and teach him its significance. The
button and our little
reform books, if vigorously pushed, will
bring triumph to reform in 1904. But
tons and books will do the fighting in
this 1900 campaign of education.

CINCINNATI PLATFORM

. The Peoples party of the United
States, assembled in national conven-
ton this 10th day Of May. 1900, at
drming our mistaken belief in the
, cardinal tenets OF the Peoples
: party, as set forth in the Omaha
platform, and pledging ourselves
anew to continued advocacy OF those
, grand principles of human liberty
until right shall triumph over might
and love over greed, do adopt and
proclaim this declaration of faith:
l. We demand the initiative and
referendum and the imperative man
date, or such changes of existing
and fundamental and statute law as
will enable the people in their sover-
eign capacity to propose and compel
the enactment of such laws as they
desire; to reject such as they deem
injurious to their interests, and to
recall unfaithful public servants.
2. We demand the public owner
ship and operation Of those means of
communication, transportation and
production which the people may
elect, such as railroads, telegraph
and telephone lines, coal mines, ETC.
8. The land, including all nat
ural sources Of wealth, is a heritage
OF the people, and should not be
monopolized for speculative purposes
be prohibited. All land now held by
railroads and other corporations in
excess of their actual needs, and all
lands now owned by aliens should be
reclaimed by the government and
held for actual settlers only.
4. A scientific and absolute paper
money, based upon the entire wealth
and population Of the nation, not re-
deemable In any specific commodity,
but made full legal tender for all
debts. and receivable for all taxes
and public dues, and issued by the
government only, without the inter-

quantity to meet the demands OF

REMARKABLE CONVENTIONS.
The conventions were the most re-
markable since fusion became a factor in
Nebraska politics. National politics was
injected into the proceedings, and at one
time, though 1t had in reality no bearing
on the direct issues. threatened a split
between the Democrats and Populists.
The question was over the endorsements
of Stevenson for vice-president by tho
Populists. It provoked storm in that
convention, which practically blocked all
business from IL o'clock last night up to
thetime recess was taken. At 5 O'Clock.

My Dear Sir: take the liberty of for.
warding to you extracts from the New

whose service l was during the Kansas
City convention. There is no longer q
dividing line between Bryan Democracy
and the rotten Bourbonism Of the South
! that has cursed the country so long.
Every reformer, of whatever political
| faith or creed should use their best en-
deavors to defeat the Tammany thieves
that formulated this Kansas City plat
form and have taken possession of Bry-
an. Sincerely yours,
MARY E. LEASE.
The following is the report as pre-
sented by Mrs. Lease:
KANSAS CITY, July 3-Kansas City,
at the mouth of the Kaw river, is enter
tanning its first national gathering. The
buildings are patriotic with lavish
adornments of national colors and gay
thronging the streets and public build
ings are in holiday attire. A curiously
entertaining air of expectancy pervades
the atmosphere and is stamped upon the
tired-looking faces Of the multitude
"You can't tell what may happen at this
convention" is the general comment,
and speculation and curiosity are rife
concerning the Great Democratic hippo
drome which begins it's proceedings to-
morrow.
Not since the palmy days of the great
Snowman, P. T. Barnum, has such
colossal aggregation Of political hybrids,
trick riders, reform clowns and equine
performers held forth in an American
city.
The great show is really combina-
ton of several smaller shows, all con-
tanned under the big Democratic tent
that has Jefferson and expansion at the
entrance and Bryan and anti-expansion
at the exit.
The old Populist circus Is here, or
rather some of it's remains. These re-
mains, secured by the Democratic man
ayers, are used by them to lure the Pop
ulist sheep from Republican pastures to
the scant browsing not always obtain
able in Democratic dump heap.
The Topolobampo schemer who holds
Offices under a Republican administra-
ton, is here, ostensibly In the interest
OF Bryan, though he sent. his trained
cat to Indianapolis to manipulate the
Socialist votes Of Kansas in the interest |
Of the Republicans. Poor old Peter
Cooper.

its endorsement by the chief literary
newspaper of England will not fail to at
tract the attention of the whole world to
it's merits.

s'The Cipher In the Plays and ON the
Tombstone.'

(From the Pail Mall Gazette. June 20 ]
Mr.. Ignatius Donnelly has recently in
troduced forceful argument upon that
arena where the authorship of Shakes
peare's plays has so long been contro-
verified. and where for some years he has
been familiar figure. His latest work,
published by the Vernlam Publishing
company, of Minneapolis, bears chiefly
upon an application of a cipher, which
Francis Bacon describes in the sixth
book of his, DE Augmentis," to the
words inscribed upon Shakespeare's
tombstone as restored to their original
form by the testimony of Edmund
Malone, George Stevens and Charles
knight. It is evident that these words,
which We reproduce with their uncouth
spelling and curious use of capitals, pre-
sent an appearance not to be accounted
for by rule or usage. No such extraor-
binary mixture of capitals and small let
tiers is to be found in the world. Viewed
as a mortuary inscription, these lines
are wanting in the obvious information
such records are intended to perpetuate.
They do not so much as give the name
or identity Of him whose bones" they
cover:
Good Friend for Jesus SAKE forbeare
To diGG T-E Dust EncLo-Ased HERE.
Blese be TIE Man spares T-Es Stones
T
And curst be He Y moves my Bones
To this rhyme Mr.. Donnelly has APP
piled the cipher whose rule and method
Bacon infinitely explains, and which
he probably invented, with the result
that, using every letter and punctuation
mark, and leaving nothing over, it's de-
meaning stands thus:
Francis Bacon wrote the Greene. Mar
lowe and Shakespeare Plays"
The application of the cipher is dem
onstrated step by step dn Mr.. Donnelly's |
book. We are not herb confronted with |
a Cryptogram of Mr.. Donnelly's own |
to which, as in one Of his |
previous studies, various more or less
rules and endless exceptions
were made applicable. We are met by
the fact that cipher identified with Ba-
con exactly fits the doggerel inscribed
upon Shakespeare's grave, and gives to
It a potent meaning, thereby, to all
indicating hidden and
mysterious connection between the two
men which does not appear upon the
surface of their lives.
Mr.. Donnelly's book may be commend
ID as an array of facts worthy of ex-
animation. The time has gone by when
such studies and their authors are
mad" The day has come when, reject
ng fictitious lives of an imaginary
and scrutinizing the insig-
lifcant circumstances which are all that
s automatically known of him, the dis
repancy becomes more and more ap-
,arent between the intellectual genius Of
he author of the plays, and the sordid
nd squalid characteristics of the man of

CLERKS WOES IN ENGLAND.
Subject to Sumptnary Laws and other
Trying Restrictions.

Bank clerks generally look so sleek and
comfortable and are almost invariably so
well groomed that their grievances rarely
receive a patient hearing. One who was
recently dismissed for the terrible crime
of smoking a pipe i'll a city cafe during
one Of the hours sacred to what is called
by city courtesy lunch, writes giving
list of restrictions which he declares are
absurd.
No clerk is allowed to smoke pipe in
the streets during banking hours or at
lunch. The average clerks salary is noJ
so very high. but, nevertheless, he must
wear silk hat and come to the Office
dressed as one with double the salary.
" caring a cap to business is not to be
thought of, as it is an objectionable Of
Tense in the eyes of the bank officials.
The salary of the average bank clerk
ranges from about Bis per week but in
many banks the salary is much lower
and the chances of promotion very small.
\ clerks money is greatly diminished
by bis having to subscribe to numerous
funds, such MS sports fund, TO keep
The cricket or football ground in order,
which he himself is never able to soc.
Saturday is no holiday for him. as he
does not leave the Office on those DAYS
until about or ) o'clock. 1t must not
ba supposed that the days work of Il
bank clerk ends with the closing of the
