speech against the resolution Flana-
gan of Shoshone argued along the
same line He wanted TO wait at least
until the silver Republicans had acted
He thought they should not be ignored.
DR.. Plummer of Latah expressed hlm-
self as favoring the resolution He
paid his respects TO Colonel Reid OF the
Democracy for stating that the Popu-
lists could not be trusted, but thought
a majority of the Democrats were
friendly. He believed they would NOM
mate good men,
Resolution Carried.
Morgan of Latah was not favorable
TO the resolution. Neither was Taylor
of Canyon. Then Mr.. Samuels
of Shoshone made the statement
that Senator Dubois had request
ed the withdrawal of the ultimatum
The motion 10 adopt the resolution
was now put and carried and the con-
vention recessed pending a report from
the conference committee.
Occur d'AIene Resolution.
The Populists assembled at / o'clock
for their afternoon session to hear the
report of their conferees. Chairman
Samuels stated that the committee had
agreed on the appOrtiOnment of the Of
fees, but he thought martial law
plank should be inserted in the plat
| form as one of the conditions of ac-
| ceptance. Mr.. Samuels made a speech
| in favor of this proposal. He condemn
! ed Governor Steunenberg harShly for
allowing martial law to exist in Sho-
/ Shone county sixteen months after the
outbreak of the Occur d'Alene trou-
bles. He denounced the permit system
of employing labor and declared it to be
un-Ameriean and unpatriotic.
State Chairman Jacobs talked along
the same line and so did Jones of ShO-
shone county.
1t was Mr.. Jones who introduced the
Occur d'Alene plank, which is as fol-
lows:
'Resilved: That we demand the i'm
mediate discontinuance of martial law
in ShoshOne county, under which the
pernicious system of permits to seek
employment has been inaugurated, and
we demand the abolition of said sys-
/ TEN. We further demand that all civil
and political rights guaranteed by the
constitution and the laws be immedi-
ately restored to all citizens of our be-
| loved state"
| After j. E. Smith and Mr.. Glenn Of
Bear Lake had by spirited speeches en-
i dOrSed the resolution, the question
was put and carried by reclamation.
| The convention then recessed pend
4 ing the action of the Democratic con-
ventiOn. When the PoDulists assem-
bled at $3.50 the first thing in order
was the report of the doingS of the
| Democrats. A spirit of rebellion broke
out at once. One or two timid spirits
| suggested that the convention recede,
but they were quickly sat upon. Sena-
tor Heitfeldt spoke strongly against
receding. He said he would not be
| true to himself or his party if he fail
| ed to denounce Steunenberg and his
methods of dealing with labor. Others
spoke along the same lines and by a
/ practically unanimous vote 1T was de-
cided to hold to the ultimatum.
| The platform question was then tax
en- up and after d little discussion the
| convention decided to postpone action
until 1880, to which hour a recess was
/ taken.
AT their evening session the POpu-
lists proceeded promptly to dispatch
! their business. They begun with re-
affirming the Sioux Falls platform and
adopting a prOnOuncement which in
cluded the clause rejected by the Dem
| OcratS earlier in the day.

Democrats was on the superintendent
