sPLITrING.

The nomination of Towne does not
meet with much favor among the Dem
ocrats. The organ for that party in
Chicago, The Chronicle. said May II:
j. G. johnson, of the Democratic, national
committee, was asked yesterday afternoon
as to what he thought of Charles Towne's
availability as candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for vice-president "Mr
Towne is valuable man on the stump .
said he, 'but ii possible we ought to find
a Democrat who would suit the various
cooperating parties. 1t would be better to
select man who Is and has been q straight
out and out Democrat. The vice-presiden-
ttal candidate ought to be q man who SUD-
ported the party in 1896 outspokenly and
who is now just as vigorous in his adyo-
cacy of the principles OF four years ago.
The question Of political afaliation is the
only possible objection could raise against
Mr.. Towne, who halls from Republican
ranks
Charles A. Walsh. secretary of the Demo-
cratic national committee, when informed
OF the nomination of Charles A. Towne as
second on the fusion Populist ticket. said:
1T does not become me as secretary of the
Democratic committee to give a statement
as to what the Democrats will do with re-
Rpect to the Towne nomination. I fancy
tnat the Democratic organization will be
disposed to nominate a ticket which will
be representative of the party,
Mr. ToWne is a Silver Republican The
Silver Republicans have national organ
tzatton and 1t would hardly be expected that
the Democrats Of this country would be dis
posed to modify their plans for the sake of
recognizing the Peoples party, however
much they might desire to combine all par
ties against the Hanna administration.
- think that the most l can say in the
circumstances Is that when the Democrats
meet at Kansas City July they will en-
deavor to nominate the best ticket possible
with reference to the party platform.
Whether that ticket will include Mr. Towne
Is not for me to say. Conditions of which
the party may have no knowledge at this
dime may makN such an Endorsement inn
possible"
The following special telegram came
from Washington the day of Towne's
nomination:
WASHINGTON, May 10-The consensus
OF opinion among Democratic leaders in
congress today was that If the Sioux Falls
convention nominated a candidate for vice.
president there would be a parting of the
ways between the Democratic and Populist
parties.
Senator Jones had served notice upon the.
Populists and Silver Republicans, through
their representatives, who managed affairs
at Sioux Falls that the Democrats would
not consent to have their kite wagged by
the Populist tail and that Is now admitted
to have been q warning that no future fu-
sion will be attempted in case the Populist
convention violated the terms laid down.
Senator Jones declined to talk about the
matter for publication, but his views are
we'll known. He expressed them vigorously
to several prominent Democrats In con-
gress and he will repeat them later IL he ts
forced to do so. What the senator wants.

tendance.
minneapolis Journal, May 81
The feeling that the convention is
largely perfunctory is responsible for
the small attendance. The assimilation
OF the Populists into Democracy, so no
ticeable here in Minnesota, has gone on
all over the country-except in states
where the Populists had the strongest
organization-judging from the slim at
tendance at the national convention.
The attendance is certainly disappoint-
Ing. Yesterday 1t looked as il it might
be large but the arrivals during the day
were far fewer than expected. In con-
sequence statements about the crowding
OF hotels will have to be extensively
modified. There is quite a marked feel
ing now that mistake was made in not
calling the convention to meet stimuli
taneously with the Democrats, when
there would be chance for far more en-
thusiasm and excitement than there is
in this little city and at this early date,
The representative., 1900-05-17

The Democratic platform Of 1896 is very
interesting reading about this time. when
the Democratic logical candidate Is de-
claring that it must be reiterated at the
Democratic national convention this year.
In that platform, for instance, it is stated
that the money question Is paramount to
all Others" that gold monometallism has
locked fast the prosperity of an Industrial
people in the paralysis of hard times"
that the value of the home market to
our American farmers and artisans is great
ly reduced by the vicious monetary system
which depresses the prices of their products
below the cost of production and thus de-
prives them of the means of purchasing the
products of our home manufacture"
And now Bryan and Towne tell us
that Imperialism and anti-expansion are
just as important as free silver!
They were either fools then or they
are fools now. Probably both. /. D..

DONNELLY'S COMPLIMENTS.
A correspondent of the St. Paul Dis
patch. Nav IL. says.s

patch, May IL, says
The most entertaining thing about this
convention is the way they go for the other
Populfst convention held at Cincinnati. The
epithets they apply to their political kin at
Cincinnati are such ast"renegades," rebels
and traitors" and all because the Cincin-
to the Democratic dog tall
l see Donnelly is getting back at them
in great shape. After asserting that there
is not one fusionist fh the Cincinnati con-
vention, he says: Z ia d'ts
The Lord has separated the sheep from
the goats and the exuviae are all gathered
at, Sioux Falls" 3S
And then as IL the ''exuviae" twist did
not completely strangle the Butler-Petti-
grew gang, the peerless and only Donnelly
proceeds: r
'The traitors are now assembled at Sioux
Falls In obsequious servility to the Demo-
cratic party. They are parting their coat
tails and inviting the Democrats to kick
them, and every time they are kicked they
thank God and take comfort
And again he says:
Il feel that this is the rebirth of the
Peoples party with the vermin scraped off =
So. then, we have at Sioux Falls an con-
vention Of "exuviae'' and 'vermin," accord
ing to Donnelly, and he knows the crowd
nail on the head plump and solid when he
says:
And l want to tell you. Mr.. Bryan was
nearer the presidency in 1896 than he ever
will be again."
This, IN my Judgment, Is the soundest
prediction Donnelly ever made and the sur
est of fulfllment.

| probable choice Of the convention for

Later came the announcement that

undoubtedly. the most popular among
Southern and Western delegates, but
that Mr.. Donnelly had declared that he
had y, -
again, when the committees of the
convention had been named and the
proper time had come to listen to
speeches the cry went up from all parts
of the hall for Ignatius Donne1ly, and
as he moved down the aisle toward the
platform, he was seized by his en-
thusiastic admirers and carried upon
their shoulders to the speakers plat
form.
All over the nation the great dailies
quoted from thzt speech as the notable
and salient feature of the convention.
Then word came that there was 4
clashing between Eastern and Southern
clans, that the wires were crossed and
even being pulled, that there were
threats of bolt, that heated debates
were being INDUCED; in and that Penn
sylvania had triumphed over Alabama.
In pleasing contrast with all this
came the second place by acclamation to
the state of Minnesota.
We would offer ne criticism concern
ing the acts Of the convention. 1t was
true Peoples party gathering.
Its acts are the acts Of Populists. and
by those acts we stand for victory or for
defeat. If Socialism, had any following
at Cincinnati it was never uncorked It
was securely bottled UP and laid away
with the Other, fusion nostrums.
The press utterances leave no doubt
that the Republicans, the great admins
tration party Of this country. believed a
ticket headed by Ignatius Donnelly the
strongest factor possible for, the over
throw Of Bryan.
Such was the judgment of the Repub-
licans of the nation. Such was the
judgment of Minnesota, irrespective of
party, but neither Minnesota nor the
Republican party controlled the Cincin-
natl convention.
Minnesota Populists will always re-
member with pride the author OF the
Omaha platform, that has for longer
time stood the criticisms of the old par
ties and been indorsed by more state
and national conventions than any other
platform in American history. The evil
dences of admiration and esteem shown
for Minnesota's candidate at Cincinnati
will command for our national ticket
the undivided support of Northwestern
Populists and when at Kansas City, on
July 4, Eastern Democracy, by the Sc
lection Of plute ticket sewers from it's

over the transom, the reformers of the
nation will rally around their last hope,
