didate for president, and Thomas H.
Tibbles, of Nebraska the candidate for
vice president, were formally notified of
their nomination Thursday night at
Cooper Union. The big hall was crowd
ed when at eight o'clock the two candi-
dates, accompanied by Alfred G. Boul-
ton, of Brooklyn, chairman of the meet
ing, appeared on the platform. There
was much cheering.
Chairman Boulton at once introduced
Judge Samuel w. Williams, of Indiana,
who made the speech officially notify
ing Mr.. Watson of his selection.
Mr.. Watson Accepts.
When Mr.. Watson arose to speak the
cheering continued nearly four minutes
Chairman Boulton introduced him in
half dozen words, simply referring to
him as the candidate of the peoples
party.
After formal notice that he would
soon prepare a formal letter of accept
ance, Mr.. Watson gave up great por-
ton of his address to discussion of the
democratic and republican platforms
and the candidacy of Judge Parker. He
referred to the democratic candidates
gold telegram as follows:
"Surrounded by the Wall street mag
mates who had financed his campaign
for two years, Judge Parker bided his
time till the perils of the two-thirds rule
were passed; and when it was too late
for the convention to retrace it's steps
for even the democratic bosses require
more than Is minutes to turn complete
ly round in-he cracks the Wall street
whip over the heads of his leaders, and
with prompt obedience the great demo-
cratic legions were made to furl their
flag and reverse their line of march"
Mr.. Watson discussed the various
planks in the platforms of the repub-
lican and democratic parties, and said
the two platforms were almost identi-
cal. Boiled down to it's real essence
sifted to its real meaning, the demo
cratic campaign of 1904 is a mere IN
scrupulous hunt for Office"
Speaks for the People.
"The men whose cause I would plead
before the bar of American public opin-
ion are chiefly those who toll in the hun
dred different fields of industry and who
have never lifted their voices to ask any
thing of this government except just
laws and honest administration. They
are the men of the mine, the mill, the
shop and the field.
t'To restore the liberties of the people,
the rule of the people, the equality of all
men before the law is our purpose. We
believe that manhood should count for
more than money; that character should
outweigh the dollar Whether the work
with Drawn or brain, it is the worker
who should be monarch of the world.
"For myself, I do not believe that the
present tyranny of the corporation, the
monopoly, and the autocracy Of wealth
can endure forever. Some day, some
day the American people will rise in
their resistless majesty and drive the
usupers from the places they have seized
Some day, some day popular sovereignty
will come again and put it's foes to rout
as it did in the time of Jefferson, as il
did in the time of Jackson
Tibbles Notified.
When Mr.. Watson concluded he was
roundly cheered. Then Chairman Boul-
ton introduced Jay w. Forrest, of AL
bany, N. Y, who notified Mr.. Tibbles of
his nomination as a candidate for the
vice presidency. Mr. Tibbles made a
brief address accepting the nomination.
