sion on the national ticket. The state
convention in session ut Fremont by
q vote Of go to 81 adopted n resolu-
ton presented by ex-senator w. v,
Allen declaring:
1T Is the sense OF this convention
that the peoples party ought 10 place
in nomination its own candidates fer
president and vice president Of the
United States"
1t was only after a protracteI season
OF oratory, lasting from s o'clock in
the afternoon until 1890 O'CLOCK in
the evening that the majority was
won over to Senator Aliens side. Dur
ing the discussion an amendment was
presented to insert in the resolution
after the word candidates" and be-
fore the word for" the words "mem-
bers of the people party" which would
have made the sense of the resolution
be that only candidates who were men,
bers of the party be placed in nominal
ton. The amendment was defeated by
a vote OF 2O2 to 1873.
After the resolution had passed
Lawrie ]. Quinley of Omaha desired
a motion passed that the resolution
be construed that the national dele
gates might If they saw fit fuse with
the Bryan element Of the democratic
party in case Bryan was defeated at
st. Louis. The Introduction Of the
motion caused wild disorder and was
overwhelmingly voted down. Mr..
Quinley then in his anger challenged
the chair and the convention to in
terpret the resolution so that 1t could
be understood by the common people.
In speaking in behalf of the resolu-
ton and against the Quinley motion
Senator Allen declared that his feel
ing toward Mr.. Bryan was CT the
kindest, that he had voted for him
twice and probably would a third time
were he to be nominated, but he did
not consider Bryan's chances at this
time as very good. He predicted the
nomination OF Cleveland at st. Louis
and said that II nominated his chances
would be better than those of Roose-
welt for election. The populist party
could expect nothing at the hands of
either the republicans or democrats
and must stand alone for the people or
die. Others talked along the same
lines but many opposed Mr.. Aliens
opinions and doctrine.
The convention was called to order
by Chairman Weber of the state COM
mittee and George W Berge was made
temporary president. Charles De
France was selected temporary secre-
tary and then the temporary organiza-
ton was made permanent. Vocal
music was furnished by a chorus from
the city, led by Mrs. j. Allen Barres,
and the singing of the song "Nebras-
ka" was one of the features. In the
selection of delegates to the national
convention the rule of the other parties
was cast aside and an opportunity civ
en- all of those who might desire 10 at
tend by the selection of eight delegates
from each congressional district. The
