OMAHA , Xeb. , July 2. When the
national convention of the People's
party of the United States opened in
this city at 10 o'clock this morning ,
every person present seemed to be in a
congratulatory mood over the large
attendance , and there was a general
opinion that harmony should bn
selected to lead the hosts in the com
ing campaign.
The Coliseum presented a gay and
sprightly appearance. Flags and ban
nerettes floated from every pillar and
arch , and a slight display of ever
greens , something in the nature of
triumphal arches , added a degree of
freshness to the scene.
The delegates were slow in arriving.
The representatives of Massachusetts
were almost the first to enter and were
received with
cheers. Delega
tion after dele
gation followed
and the hall
gradually be
gan to fill with
industrial lead
ers in straw
hats. A banner
displayed by
the Connecticut
delegation had
the following
inscription :
CHAIItMAX TAU1ECK. . "CoimC C ti C U t
Delegation Congress ( Not the Pcoplei
Be Damned. Shylock's Twins Grover
and Ben. "
There was a slight lull as Chairman
Taubeneck of the national committee
stepped to the front and announced
that the first national convention of
the People's party was now eonven . 'l
in regular session. Then there was a
burst of applause.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. Ben
jamin Diilenbauher , chaplain of the
last Nebraska legislature and a well
known Alliance man.
Mayor Bemis then welcomed the
delegates on behalf of the i-ity of
Omaha , and was given threeers. ! .
Ben Terrell of Texas , on beh. : ' .10
convention , responded to tin- -ss
of welcome.
Chairman Taubeneck ann < the
list of temporary officers s. t by
JUDOB OKESIIAM OX THE BENCH.
the national committee and those
officers were selected by acclamation.
C. II. Ellington of Georgia was in
troduced as temporary chairman and
in his speech of acceptance said :
"Ladies and Gentlemen , Fellow Coun
trymen. Brethren : I salute you. From
far off Georgia , the great empire state of
the South , I come to greet you. Language
fails me. It is absolutely impossible for
me to tell my hieh appreciation of thy
honor this greatest j conventions has con-
fered upon me by selecting me to the tem
porary chairmanship. But when ray
mind turns to the great re
pose for which we have net
together its depth , length , breadth , Its
wonderful conception , its vastness of search ,
all th. t is wrapped up in it , what it means
to be defeated and what it would mean
should victory crown our efforts when all
these things crowd upon me I long for the
tongue of Gabriel whose trumpet lones
shall reach to the farthest end of the
globe , arousing and convincing the people
wherever its sound should fall upon ; he
human ear. In all the history of this
country , which should be "the land of the
free' ' and is "the home of the brave , " there
has never been another such gathering of
the people. [ Applause. ] North , South ,
East and West are to-day mingling their
hosts together in sense and for a pin priso
never before realized in this country. | Au-
plause. ]
Ihe eyes of all the world are upon us.
Some are looking at us with hate and f.-.r
in their hearts , while others are watch n ;
us prayerfully , anxiously , hopefully.
Nothing would give greater joy to ouv op
ponents than to see this vast assembla of
the people's representatives disa r.-\
They want us to bicker and wrangle. Hun
dreds of pens stand ready to note tfie Jir.t
sound of discord , and in every direction t.ie
wires are waiting to transmit the hov ;
for news that we are in turmoil and sr - .
Brethren , friends , let us disappoint 11 - .
let us at the very beginning shake ' . i J
upon this one point , that harmony -ity
and good will shall prevail. [ Che.i > | I
believe it is possible for this repivse i.t ivo
body to meet , council , deliberate , porfi.rri
its entire work and adjourn without . . . < j
single word of discord. To this end I i.- .
absolutely , untiringly at your servico.
"We are here today with the shadow of . !
great trouble resting upon us. He TV lie r
our hearts delighted to honor , our lead
the true , the tried , the honest PoU. : .
dead and has been taken from us jr. ;
when we needed him most. Our h.rir- : >
mourn his loss. No nobler soul ewi
breathed , none worked harder , suff-jr-vl
more , spent more than he did. H
gavehis life to our beloved cause and vrc
do not believe it was given in vain. Oli.
shade of the loving , kind hearted , crea'
Polk , may the mantle of thy spirit fall upo
us today in our deliberations to the end th. .
we may be like minded. I call on you toda.v
in His name that if there be a single ves
tige , an iota of sectional feeling , or preju
dice left it in the hearts of any of us tr
wine it out. I charge you that while we
stand in the shadow of Polk's great love
we reconcile ourselves to the great work of
reforming this government and the man
who honestly desires its reformation is.our
brother. And I want to * say that we can
reform it. I believe that we will reform it.
The chairman's reference to thistle-
ceased president of the great farmers'
organi/.ution was received with cheers ,
aud when the picture of President
Polk was handed to him by Chairman
"Wilson of the North Carolina delega
tion and hoisted into view the conven
tion , with one accord , arose , and the
scene was one of befitting reverence
to the memory of the great .eader.
At the conclusion of the chairman's
speech Mrs. Todd of Michigan , pre
sented Chairman Ellington with a
gavel carved by the wife of Hen Ter
rell , from the tree planted by Wash
ington at Mount Vernon an an
nouncement which was received with
an enthusiastic chorus of cheers.
While the committee on credentials
was meeting , annbxincements of va
rious lands were made , and Paul Van-
dervort , ex-grand commander of the
O. A. R. , announred that a reunion of
the veterans of the blue and the gray
would be held to-night at the Pacific.
Music was then supplied by a quar
tette of People's partj' enthusiasts
who rendered a new sjng expressive
of the coming triumph of the inde
pendent body which will have its first
presidential candidate in November.
The convention then adjourned until
3 o'clock.
GRESHAM WILL NOT RUN.
The JuilKO I'osttlvcly Declares That. Ho
Will Xot Lead the Pcojilu'x 1'arty.
INDIANATOI..I.S , Ind. , July 4. In view
of the interest throughout the country
in the possibility of the nomination of
"Judge Walter Q. Gresham for the pres
idency by the convention of the Pee
ple's party at Omaha and his accept
ance of the honor , the News yesterday
sent the judge the following dispatch :
Will.you siy : something for publication in
the Indianapolis News ? Will you accept
a Humiliation from the Omaha convention
if tendered ?
In reply the News received the fol
lowing :
OKLEANS , Ind. , July 2,1892 , To the Even-
inir News , Indianapolis : I would not accept
on any platform. W. Q GKESIIAM.
OMAHA , .Inly 4. Up to this morning
the most important question before
the delegates to the national People's
party convention
was as to whether
Judge Wai ter Q.
Gresham of the Un
ited States circuit
court would accept
the nomination for
the presidency , but
all doubt was set at
rest when the an
swer of the judge
to the Indianapolis n
News was b u 11 e- \
tined here. \
The delegates at
GKX' J-1 ! ' WEA.VKB.
once began casting
about for a new champion. Weaver
of Iowa received first accessions of
strength and Senator Stewart began
to enjoy a boom as the candidate of the
silver states of the West.
Judge Gresham was in New Albany
this morning on his way to Zanesville ,
Harrison county , called"by the death
of his brother , Colonel IJen Gresham.
While in New Albany he received a
telegram from Jackson Orr in regard
to his acceptance of the nomination
for president by the People's party and
in reply sent the following :
The lion. Jackson Orr , Omaha , Neb. :
In view of the friendly manner in which
my name appears still to be considcn d at
Omaha , it is due to you and your fellow
delegates that I should say that I do not
desire to be the standard bearer of the
People's party and could not accept a nom
ination if unanimously tendered.
W. Q. GllEoUAM.
Mr. Orr is an old schoolmate and
friend of Judge Gresham , and is'now a
Kx-.Seaitor Far well on Campbell.
WASHINGTON , July 4. The Post pub
lishes the following card from ex-
Senator Farwell of Illinois.
Editor Post : I see by the newspapers
that at the urgrent solicitation of the presi
dent of the United States William James
Campbell of Illinois has been made chair
man of the national Republican committee.
Some three years ago , more or less , when I
was in tlu senate of the United States ,
I recommended a gentleman by
the name of William J. Campbell for
the oflicc of collector of customs at Chicago.
All the Republican members of congress
recommended this gentleman at the same
time for this office. The president said that
he was a professional lobbyist and unfit for
this position and that he would not ap
point him. Will you be kind cnojgh to in
form me whether the Campbell appointed
chairman of the national committee ( at the
urgent request of the president ) is the same
Campbell whom he refused to appoint to a
federal position because he was a "profes
sional lobbyist and unfit for it ? "
Chicago , June 9. C. B. FARWELL.
rrohlMtloiiists IVantcd Gresham.
CHICAGO , July 4. Now that the Pro
hibition convention is over and General
Bidwell is the nominee , it has tran
spired that Judge Gresham was visited
by an Illinois Prohibition delegate
three or four days ago and urged to
join the Prohibition ranks and become
its nominee. Judge Gresham declined ,
however , to consent to the use of his
name and was not converted by the
Prohibition delegate.

duction Operative Xext Week.
KANSAS Crrr , Mo. , July 4. The pas
senger rates East have gone to pieces
and there is no telling now just where
the demoralization will stop.

this afternoon that there would be a
S17 rate from St. Louis to Philadelphia
by way of the Baltimore and Ohio , a
S1G rate to Baltimore and Washington

This will make the rate from Kan
sas City SL'3.50 to Philadelphia , SL'2.50
to Baltimore and Washington and
$21.50 to Old Point Comfort , which is
a lower rate than the New York cut.
These rates have not yet been auth
orized , but they are agreed upon and

fore midnight a mob of about 200 men.
from Milwaukee , Ore. , went to he
county jail and demanded that the

The last session of the Catholic Indian
congress , in which % 000 Indians parti
cipated , was held in the big wigwam
yesterday afternoon and evening. Un
der the awning in the center sat Bishop
Marty.accompanied by Fathers Jerome ,
I'errig , Digmann , Bernard , Francis ,
Finlan and Bede. Around them in a
circle were the chiefs , and the presi
dents of the various Catholic Indian
j societies , and in four or live rows
I around the great outer circle were
fully I,00' ! ) upon the ground , many fa
mous old warriors among the number.
Bishop Marty called Louis Lecompte
president of the St. Joseph society o :
the Cheyenne agency , to a scat beside
him. Lecompte made a speech of wel
come and congratulation to the visit
ors. Iron Feather of Devil's Lake
called on all as soldiers of the cro s to
help cac-h other. William llasley 01
Standing Rock hoped for the time
when all would become civilixed ant :
useful citizens of the United States.
Father Jerome delivered an address in
the Dakota language.
Iron Feather of Devil's Lake in a neal
little speech introduced resolutions
declaring that as the ameiof Chris
topher Columbus meant Christ bearer
and his discovery of America
brought the knowledge of Christ
to half the world , the Indians ,
of all Americans , should be inos !
thankful to God for the gos
pel of his son ; that they asked their
white brothers to deal justly with
them , to help them to secure schools
and teachers for their children and to
aid them in all their ell'orts to become
intelligent and useful citizens. After
several speeches the resolutions were
carried without a dissenting voice.
Then came another feast and at 9
o'clock last evening the ollicial busi
ness of the Indian congress ended
with an adjournment to meet the
Fourth of next July at Rosebud agency.
GLADSTONE MAY TRIUMPH.
Iibcril Successes In Great IJrituin Give
1'romise of Conservative Defeat.
LONDOX , July 0. The Star to-day
says that if the average of yesterday's
gains is maintained it will give the
Liberals a majority of 150 members in
the next parliament , while there is a
practical certainty that that av
erage will be exceeded. The de
feat of Sir T. Sutherland , the
Liberal Unionist candidate at
Greenoek , by John Bruce , Liberal , is a
deathblow to the Unionists' cause in
Scotland and justifies the inference
that the Scotch Unionist will almost
disappear and that the number of Eng
lish Unionists will be reduced.
Sir. Gladstone ir jubilant over the
results of j'esterday's elections and es
pecially the return of John Bruce , the
Liberal candidate in Greenoek.
The Kaum Investigation. .

special to the World says Judge
Wheeler's report of the Raum investi
gation , which is now practically com
pleted and which will be submitted to
the committee and given to the press
in the course of a few days , is one of
the most comprehensive and ex
haustive documents ever emanating
from a congressional committee. In
it the committee finds the pension
office honeycombed by fraud , rascality ,
incompetent methods , prejudice and
removal of Commissioner R : >

gamated association are confident that

The Stewart Bill's Fatal Error.
WASHINGTON , July G. Representa
tive Culbertson of Texas expresses the
opinion that the senate made a fatal
mistake in passing the free coinage
bill ; that it failed to preserve in the
repeal of the act of 1890 the
legal tender quality of the coin notes
issued under the authority of the sec
retary of the treasury to redeem.
The effect of the senate bill , he says ,
will be to demonetize more than tiO-
000,000 of coijj- notes and postpone
their redemption.
