That there viii be effective eo-opors-
don Of The allied forces in this campaign
on both state and national: issues, was
made absolutely certain BY tho action Of
the Peoples party convention that ss-
lected delegates to the Sioux Falls con-
vention, and in equal measure is Repub-
ican disappointment in the expectation
Of serious divilons. The latter we're
given all tho color possible by the anti
reform press, magnifying each and
every incident or utterance that shaded
in such direction. But the rugged truth
is that there was absolute harmony,
and on test questions less disagreement
than occurs ordinarily in tho most
''harmopious' political bodies. The
convention was large, az well as harmo.
nious, not less than 200 delegates being
eetually In attendance, while the au.
thorized representation was not less
than 400. Az to character Of the repre-
sentation it H. ~epough to ~ that: it
smbraoed that Large body Of intelligent,
pioneer Peoples party men; to whom is
due in q large measure the initiative Of
those principles and measures Of state
reform, the benefits Of which the people
are receiving in tho administration Of
Governor Lind, which these men made
possible. Among such men are s.. n.
Owen, Thomas J. Msighen, Editor
H. g. Day, James E. Ohilds.. O. J.
Buell., Francis H. Clarke, Sturgeon
Odell, N. @. Hardy, n. J. Daily, Cleo. N.
Lamphere, and q long list Of others, not
to mention that large number: Of Peo-
pies party men throughout the state.
who are by commission from Governor
Lind, associated with him in the state
administration. The sound discretion
of the body was shown in the wise dec
laration3 by resolution. reaffrming the
Declaration Of Independence and for
mer party :tsnets, pointing out tho dan
9erous drift Of Republican adpainistra-
tion, and demanding return to tho doc
.trines Of the fathers, declaring most
earnestly for destruction Of the trusts,
and, as to candidate, for ''that man who
will best combine; all opposition to the
present administration extending
sympathy to the Boers, protesting
against tho treatment ef Porto Rioe.
oondenauing tho financial policy Of
Hanna NICK and endorsing most
heartily tho administration OF Governor
Lind.

among the farmer delSeetes;; who thus
spoke from their own ekpefisnoe> from,
substantial benefits. The idea was put
into \ ringing speech: by such = dele
gate, who gave his experience of the
price of wheat now and two years ago,
when the market was about the Same,
the higher grade received bow on tho
same wheat being the difference which
be measured in his own pockets. One
cont, two cents or more = b,rshel, what
ever it was, it spoke more Of practical
political results than all the ''resoluting'
that could be done, and will answer
more G. 0. P. appeals this fall than
anything olse.
The delegation that at Sioux Falls
this week will have registered the sense
Of: the National Populists is very
properly headed by that noble quartet,
s. NJ. Owen, T. ]. Meighen, P. NJ. Ring
dal and 8. II. Roishus, who,e alternates
are Judge Frank Ives, g. A. Nye, E. c.
Lommen and d. HI. Evans! The dele
cation was carried and cared for, as to
transportation, by the Omaha, tho dele
cations from out,ids parts q tho state
joining The others At tho Twin Cities.
! Outside Of the convection work
proper, there was everything to en-
courage. Talks with delegates aud
others showed that there ID enthusiasm
and deep interest in state ind national
matters, sure signs of good results. The
counties are organizing thoroughly, e.
pecially the strictly agricJ ltural coun-
ties: Special instances a1e Otter Tail
and Kandiyohi. In the lat pr the young

Without exception repotts from the
country were that Governor Lind is

Significant of the hours demand for
the right men, was the action com"
i. |mending the vice presid initial oandi-
dacy of Hon. G. A. TownS and while
enthusiastically urged, still tho same
feeling prevailed that has ,ctuated Mr..
Towne and his warmest friends, that
Ill must be subject to tho wise deter
