ALABAMA roPULIsT CONVENTION.

The managers. for lack of a better
word of the remnant of PopulisGl In
Alabama. have issued the following
call:
In accordance with a resolution
adopted by the last Populist State
Convention authorizing any three
members of the State Executive Com
mittee to call a State Convention when
the chairman had failed or refused 10
do so, we the undersigned members of
the State Executive Committee hereby
call mass convention to meet In
Birmingham, Ala. on June %, 1904, for
the purpose of electins ffty-two dele
gates to the Peoples Party National
Convention. which NETS in Springfield,
Ill. on July 4th. 1904, the nomination
of an electoral ticket and the transact
tion of such other business as may
properly come before the convention:
All who will support the Peoples
past political afiiiations are invited to
participate Every old Populist in the
State is urged to come.
w. L. Minis, First District; Z. A.
Phillips, Fifth District; c. III. Cooper,
Eighth District; ]. p. Pearson, Fourth
District
Time was when such call would
have been answered by hundreds of en-
thusiastic men, but now it is hardly
probable that more than a naadtrl If
the faithful will respond to roll call.
1t is singular that the national body
has been called for July 4th, a day
or two before the assembling of the
National Democratic Convention. They
need expect nothing from the st. Louis
convention that will be comforting to
their souls, for unless all indications
are at fault there will be no affrma-
ton or endorsement of the Chicago and
Kansas-City platforms, and without
that the Populists who stick. out for
their peculiar doctrines will have none
of the St. Louis convention. They may
hold open their convention waiting to
see what the ST. Louis body will do,
but 1t will do them no good. They
will have to put up their own candi-
date this year, free of entangling alli-
ancesi with the Democratic party. 1t
is better that it should be so. This is
the year for the Democrats to assert
themselves and show that their organi-
cation is not a mere tail to the fusion
party.

Mr. Bryan has written a letter to q

of Judge Parker as boilers in 1896 and
1900 and accuses them of employing
"burglarious methods" for the purpose
of foisting upon the party "a speech

overlooks the fact that instructions
