CINCINNATI, OHIO, May 9.-The
anti-fusion element of the Peoples
Party. otherwise known as the mid
dle-of-the-roaders, opened here to-
day. Nearly 700 delegates were pres
ent, representing every State in the
Union excepting fve-Arizona, New
Mexico, North Carolina, South Car
DINA and Vermont.
Former Congressman M. w. How
ard, of Alabama was then introduced
as temporary chairman. Mr.. How
ard said in his speech:
II believe that whenever any line
of industry becomes a monopoly
there is only one solution possible
and that is for the government to
control the monopoly and to use and
oparate it for the benefit of all the
people.
Ignatius Donnelly was loudly
called for: He reviewed the history
of the Peoples party movement.
The census of 1890, he declared, was
the cause for the formation of the
party. The census, he declared, re-
vealed the fact that three-one-hun-
dredths of 1 per cent. of the people
owned one-ffth of the wealth of the
country, the outcome of the first 100
years of this republic. He declared
the Omaha convention of 1892 nom
mated a man and gave him prOmi-
hence which only enabled him to
sell out his friends and, he exclaimed,
1.-The traitors are now assembled at
Sioux Falls in obsequious servility
to the Democratic 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 courager -
CINCINNATI, OHIO, May 1O.-Whar-
ton Barker, of Pennsylvania, was
to-day nominated for President by
the Middle-Of-the-Road Populists on
the second ballot, and J. A. Parker,
of Kentucky, elected charmed of
the National Committee.
Ignatius Donnelly was declared
Vice-Presidential nominee. Former
Congressman Howard, of Alabama,
was a strong Presidential possibility
at n time, leading on the first bal
lot, and it was only through his Wig
orOus work for Barker and against
himself, that the cut and dried plans
Of the convention went through.
The convention adjourned sine die.
The Southern Baptist Convention

GrosvenOr, of Ohio, Takes Up the

the Measure-Day in
the House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The house de-
voted the day to the army reorgan- "a
ton bill, which was brought up under
a special order adopted at the opening
of the session which limited general de-
bate to two hours on side. Lieut..
Gen. Miles and a number of army Off
GERS were interested spectators through
out the day. Chairman Hull and Mr..
Parker, of New Jersey, of the military
committee, Republicans, supported the
bill and Messrs. Cochrane, of Missouri,
Kleberg, of Texas; Mcclellan, of New
York: Shafroth, of Colorado, Cummings,
of New York, and Cox, of Tennessee,
Democrats, spoke briefly against it.
Mr.. Mccall, of Massachusetts, Repub-
lican, then aroused the only enthusiasm
of the day against the measure Sew
eral times during the last session, notably
on the Porto Rican tariff bill, he refused
to follow his party. Today he attacked
the whole Philippine policy of the ad-
ministration. Although temperate in
language he was plain spoken in his
warnings of the dangers which lay ahead
of the government if a colonial policy
was persisted in. He also criticised
technically, several features of the bill,
especially that lodging in the president
the discretion to expand or reduce the
size Of the army at will.
Concluding he Hkened the unconquer-
able spirit, which opposed our sway in
the Philippines to that of Washington
at Valley Forge. Love of independence,

The Most Promising Aspirant just

PIERRE, S. D., Dec. 5-(Special.)-
The question of just how the fusion
forces will attempt to dictate legislation,
or hamper it, at the coming session BY
the Referendum, is likely to be settled
soon by a call of the reform forces" of
the state in convention to organize for
the work. They will provide complete
organization by counties, with a COM
mitteeman in each county, whose duty it
will be to secure the required number of
signatures demanded from his county
to any measure which it is decided to
hold up The aVOWed object of the move
is to prevent partisan legislation, or, in
> other words, to prevent the Republican
majority changing the election laws
passed by the last fusion legislature. By
the referendum, any move in that iirec-
ton can be carried over until after the
L next election, as it will have to he sub
mitted to the people at that time for
their approval before it becomes a law.
There has been considerable furry in
regard to the senatorial situation the
past week, but up to the present it is
yet Gamble against the fiefd with the
chances in his favor. The name of Kit
tredge has been sprung as a compromise
candidate in case Of a contest, but ne has
declared that he is not a candidate, and
will be taken at his word by the frienss
of the other candidates, and the proba-
bilities are all in favor of his standing
by the position he has taken.
THE SPEAKERSH[P
Somers yet appears to be in the lead
in the speakership- contest with his only
dangerous opponent Benedict, of Custer,
but, while it has been alleged thai he
will come with solid Hills delegat-
ton, that is hardly likely, as ". g.
Bower as a candidate for chief clerk of
the house, will have the support of a
part of the delegation from that section,
and they know that to attempt to ask
for both these places would let them
down on both, the friends OF Bower can
not be considered as solid for Benedict
While the senatorial situation is sucn

The aspirations of ]. H Scriven, of

senate, will be connected by George

ability.
