BRIEF NOTES ON PEOPLES CAMPAIGN
Speaking of the state meeting called
for next Friday evening at Minnea-
polls, S. M. Owen writes for his great
farm journal, the Farm, Stock &
Home, as follows:
1t is hoped that Thomas E Watson,
the bright, brainy Peoples party can.
If he is 1.-THE boys' will need to hire
parties will want to hear him. There
are hosts of ''p,litical orphans'' in
the state that will be highly gratifed
to learn that there may be an oppor.
tunity for them to vote for president
and principles nearer to their liking
than either of the big parties have pre-
sented; men who glory in voting in
harmony with their convictions even
If they know they are of q small mi
nority. And such men will read with
great pleasure the calling of this meet.
ing, and will hope that it will put an
electoral ticket in the field if nothing
more.
Judge Samuel Seabury, of the New
York City Court, is out with a strong
letter in which he declares his inten'
tion of voting for Watson and Tibbles
as the only representatives of true
democracy upon the nations al ballot.
Albany county dem ,cracy OF New
York have declared for Watson and
Tibbles, and are pushing the work Of
securing the afilavits OF one hundred
or more voters in each county in the
state that they intend to vote the
ticket, which is necessary to be done
in order to secure a place upon the
ballot for tine ticket.
The national committee, though
hampered greatly for want of funds
to pay for necessary printing and
postage, is doing good work. The
only states which so far give no
promise Of having populist electors
upon the ticket are Utah, Delaware
and Rhode Island.

campaign in clubs of ten.
Judge r. S. Tnarin, of the City of
Washington, not only declares him
self for Watson and Tib oles, but de-
sires a number of radical democrats
of the country to j1in him ia cal
for another Democratic national con-
vention to repudiate the action at St
Louis and endorse the peoples patty
nominees. In the first disgust after
the apostasy Of his party at St. Louis,
Judge Tharin turned to socialism
lie speedily convinced himself that
the class-consciousness it teaches and
its International rami6cations w,re
un-American, and upon a sober Sec
ond thought decided that the populist
platform stood for the preserv alton
of the American republic and Ameri.
can ideals of popular government.
Even New Jersey, the home of the
trusts, had populist convention up.
on the 10th instant when Watson and
Tibbles electors were chosen and q
complete state ticket was placed in the
field. A large number of former Bry
an democrats took an active interest
in the convention.
Alfred ]. Boulton, of Brooklyn, is
the candidate for governor upon the
Peoples party ticket of New York
State. He has been very prominent
in Federation of Labor circles. As
candidate upon the citizens union
ticket for county clerk, he ran 1000
votes ahead of Low in his county.
James Hogan, imprisoned with Eu
gene Debs as one Of the leaders of the
A. r. U. strike ten years ago, is the
Peoples party candidate for governc I
in the state o; Illinois this year.
Ia Kansas the last Legislature
passed law prohibiting more than
one party name after name upon the
ballot-to kill fusion. As in this
state, the democrats foolishly offered
no objection to it becoming law
The only real opposition to the re-
publicans in Kansas as we'll as IL
Minnesota, have been the popu.ists.
The St. Paul Globe, and other plu.
tocratic papers, are again circulating
the old threadbare falsehood that the
republican party managers are fur
nishing money for the populist ma
