The platform favors the enactment Of legis-

of the Omaha platform that 'wealth belongs

says

The platform, after setting forth u
government has been controlled SO as to place
the rights Of property above the rights of hui
mainly, and that financial combinations have
exerted too much power over congress, gives
the position Of the party on finance as fol-
lows:
1.-THE issuing of money is function Of gov
eminent and should not be delegated to cor
poration or individual. The constitution gives
to congress alone the power to issue money
and regulate the value thereof. We there
fore demand that all money shall be issued
by the government direct to the people, with
out the intervention of banks, and be a full
legal tender for all debts, public and private,
and in quantities to supply the necessity of
the country. We demand that postal savings
banks be instituted for the savings Of the
people,
Alien ownership of public lands is opposed,
and lands now held by aliens or by corpora
tions which have violated the conditions Of
their grants should be resteRad to the public
domain.
Government ownership Of railroads is urged
on the ground that that policy would prevent
unjust determinations. Also that in order
to perfect the postal service the government
should own and operate the general telegraph
and telephone systems and provide parcels
post.
To Curb the Trusts
Gas to those trusts and monopolies which
are not public utilities Or natural monopolies
demand that these special privileges which
they now enjoy and which alone enable them
to exist, should be Immediately withdrawn.
Corporations being the creatures Of govern
al regulation and control as will adequately
protect the public We demand the taxation
of monopoly privileges, while they remain in
private hands,. to the extent Of the value of
the privilege granted
"We demand that congress shall enact a
general law uniformly regulating the powers
and duties Of all Incorporated companies do
ing interstate business.
Gas a means Of placing all public ques-
tions directly under the control of the peo-
pie we demand that legal provision be made
under which the people may exercise the mi
tiative and referendum, and proportionate
representation and direct vote for all public
officers with the right of recall

The foregoing ticket was nominated today
by the peoples party convention, after two
stormy sessions, during which the Nebraska
and the Minnesota delegations bolted because
they could not procure postponement Of the
convention until after the nominations had
been made by the democratic convention, so
that the people s party might nominate w. J.
Bryan for president, if he were defeated at
the democratic convention.
The Nebraska men fought desperately to
the last, and when Jay w. Forrest, of Albany,
N. Y, mounted the platform to place Watson
in nomination. they withdrew from the con-
vention, followed by the Minnesota delegation,
which consisted of one man, T. j. Weighan
IF Bryan is nominated at Denver, the men

support him to man.
How Nebraska Lost Out.

the afternoon and into pit they themselves
had digged the delegation from Nebraska

nomination for president, when Jos. A. Par
ker, of Louisville begged leave to ask "a
couple Of questions" Of Nebraska.
Parker desired to know whether the Ne
braskans were working for the nomination of
Bryan. They said they were not. He then
read from Bryan's paper a plank from the
platform Of the Nebraska populist state con-
vention indorsing Bryan, and wanted to know
whether they stood by it. The Nebraskans
parted the question, but Parker insisted on
a categorical answer The Nebraska delegates
finally admitted that they favored Bryan.
From that instant Bryan s cause in the con-
vention was lost.
Debate on the proposal to postpone the con-
vention and the discussion of the phraseology
Of the money plank in the platform consumed
the greater part Of the day. The discussion
was long but all the oratory went for naught,
as the plank adopted was that recommended
by the resolutions committee The platform
was adopted as reported from the committee

Mr. Watson was not present, but Mr.. Will
hams returned thanks to the convention in
brief speech, in which he promised to do all
things possible for the success of the ticket.
