United states o.,
Mr.. Barker's views on the situation will now
be given. lie wa, very earnest to-day as no
talked OF IN. immediate intur" of the foplllst
party, He too. said that men al'aso,i-uSG Saiv, 20
the Populist party were attempting W iolst
Debs upon this convention .
But nothing will come 0, that, said mr.
Barker. because thc P9pul'sl parry, 'hn r i'ni a.
assemble here Tomorrow are aitI-f ll'lOnISts'
Nothing will change them from their stahd.
They had IA btunr exp"rience IN 1880 ana Wy
do not propose 10 ALLOW outsider, 10 hieuule
with them. The National Convention whlrh met
In this city ia lsJs and nominated Mr Donn'Hy
for Nicc-presid"nt and myself lor lt.s,d'ht
was cool and deliberate BODY and YET 'ho's
nominations are not hdcbOuud and ihey can
be upset tomorrow just "a, easily IA YOU can
overturu a glass Ol water. These NOMINATIONS
were made simply for the purpose OF anslrlhs
men who were ono" our friends and who have
gone over Ia the beinOUatlc parry, lnr pnrI
\ oses of their own. that tho Populist Aalohal
party Is still in existence.
Furthermore. and | wish 10 impress YOU
with the earn.stness Of my statement the can
didates for President and NiC.-Presld"nt VINO
are to be nominated by the CONVENTION here
will have the unswerving support of l,JoOUO
Populists. Every one of that million ana
half Populists voted for Bryan and Tom " Natson
In 1895. While they were very angry at what
was done in st Louis in that year when Bryan
was indorse they nevertheless went to their
homes and voted the ticket which their National
Convention gave 10 them This year, however.
every one OF tho million and u half Popuilsts
viii not vote for Bryan, but as ! said before.
they will stand by the candidates of this con-
yenuon. This makes Bryahs rejection ia
mind the stand which this convention is to
take In refusing all fusion and IN dominating
tts own candidates viii make even the nomlnn-
ton Of Bryan at Kansas Clty on July doupuui;
Between the time our convention ad'ourns ana
