situation was explained by Chairman
Butler tho crowd became satisfied. No

the committee on platform from Ohio.
There were also demonstrations for
Gov. Ilolcoinb, of Nebraska; Gon.
Weaver, of Iowa, and ex-Gov. Le wel
ling, of Kansas, when their names
wero shouted out.
Delegate Crawford, of Kansas, moved
then that the delegates of the silver con
vention bo admitted on exhibition of
their badges. There wero many cries
of "no," "no" from the middle-of-the-road
men, who eridontly thought they
saw in this a move to pack the galleries
with Bryan shouters, and Sergonnt-at-Arms
McDowell said that it was im
possible to carry out such instructions.
Thereupon Jerry Simpson mounted
a chair and said it was no more than
common courtesy to extend to the
other conventions which were hero in
a common cause the same privilege
which they had extended to tho dele
gates to this convention.

ler, amid howls of delight from tho
btraight-outs, ruled tho motion out of

Friday morning at four minutes
after ten Senator Allen called thu del
egates to tho people's party national
convention to order. A committee to
confer with a committee from tne sil
ver party convention was appointed
and then the regular order was called
for, which was tho reading of tho mi
nority report of the committee on
rules. It recommended a change in
the order of making nominations so
as to make tho nomination of vice
president beforu that of president.
This was a move of tho middle-of-the-road
men. Delegate MeGrath, of Illi
nois, promptly moved to lay the mi
nority report on tho table. Congress
man Howard and 'Barney Gibbs, of
Alabama, demanded to be heard on the
motion.
After a heated debate a vote was
taken which resulted in 7S.1 to (515 in
favor of tho minority report.
Gen. J. B. Weaver, chairman of tho
committee on resolutions, was then re
cognized and ho read tho platform as
follows
The riatform.
First We demand u iiiitlonul money, unto
and ound, Issued by tho general government
only, without the intervention ot binusof Ik
hue. to be u tvi.l leunl tender for nil debts pub
l.c and pm-dic-a Just, cquitubits c:U cfflclunt
means of distribution direct to tho people and
through the lawful disbursements of the Gov
ernment Second Wo demand tho frco nnd unre
stricted cotnngc of silver nnd gold nt tho pres
ent legal ratio of sixteen to one, without wait
ing for tho consent of foreign nations.
Third Wo demand that tho volume of cir
culating medium bo speedily Increased to an
amount sulllclcnt to meet tho demands of tho
business und population of this country und
to restore tho just level of prices ot lnbor nnd
production.
Fourth Wo denounce tho snlo of bonds nnd
tho lncrcaso of tho public tntcrcst bearing
dobt made by tho prosont administration ns
unnecessary und without authority of law, nnd
that no moro bonds bo issued except by spe
clllo net of congress.
Fifth Wo demand such legislation as will
prevent tho demonetization of tho lawful
money of the United States by prlvnto con
tract. Sixth Wo demnnd that tho government, in
payment of Its obligations, shall use its option
us to tho kind of lawful money In which they
nro to bo paid, nnd wc denounce the present
nnd preceding ndmtnlstratlons for surrender
ing this option to tho holders of government
obligations.
Seventh Wo demand u graduated Incomo
tax to tho end that aggregated wealth shall
bear Its just proportion of taxation, nnd o
rcgnrd tho recent decision of tho supremo
court rclatlvo to tho Income tux law as a mis
interpretation or tho constitution and nn In
vasion of tho rightful powers of congress over
tho subject of taxation.
KIghth Wo demand that postal savings
bangs be established by the government for
tho safe deposit of tho savings of the people
und to facilitate exchange.
TIlANSrOUTATIO.V.
First Transportation being a means of cx
chnngo and a necessity, tho government should
own nnd operate tho railroads In the Interest
of tho pcoplo nnd on a non-partisan basis: to
the end that nil may bo accorded tho same
treatment In transportation and Unit tho
tyranny und political power now exercised by
tho greut railroad corporations, which result
in tho Impairment, If not in tho destruction, ot
tho political rights and personal liberties of
the citizen, may bo destroyed. Such owner
ship i to bo accomplished gradually in a man
ner consistent with sound public policy.
Second Tle Interest of tho United States in
tho public highways built with public moneys
nnd tho proceeds of extensive grants of land to
tho Pacific railroads, should never be nlienut
cd, mortgaged or sold, but guarded and pro
tected for tho general welfare, as provided by
the laws organizing such railroads. Tho fore
closure of existing liens of the United States
on these roads should at once follow default In
payment thereof by tho debtor companies: and
at tho foreclosure sales of said roads the gov
ernment thould purchuso tho sumo if It be
comes necessary to protect its interests there
in, or If they can bo purchased ut u reasonable)
price, und the government shall operate said
railronds as public highways for tho bcnctlt of
tho whole pcoplo und not in the Interest of the
few, under suitable provisions for protection
of llfo und property, giving to nil transporta
tion interests equal privileges und equal rates
for fares and freights.
Third Wo donounce tho present Infamous
schemes for refunding theso debts, nnd de
mand that the luws now applicable thereto bo
executed nnd administered according to their
true intent and spirit.
Fourth Tho tolegraph, like tho post ofllco
system, being a necessity for the transmission
ot news, should bo owned und operated by the
government In iho interests of the people.
LAND.
First Tho truo policy demands that tho nn
tlonal nnd state legislation shall be such as
will ultimately cnnblo every prudent and In
dustrious cltlzon to secure a home, and there
fore the land should not bo monopolized for
speculative purposes. All lands now held by
railroads and other corporations In excess of
their actual needs should by lawful means bo
reclaimed by the government und held for ac
tual settlers only, and prlvnto land monopoly,
us well as ullen ownership, should bo prohib
ited. Second Wo condemn the frauds by which
the land grants to Pacillc railroad companies
have, through tho connlvnnco of tho Interior
department, robbed multitudes ot actual bona
lido settlers of their homes and miners of their
claims, nnd wo demnnd legislation by congress
which will enforce the exemption of mineral
laud from such grants, after us well us before
patent.
Third We demand that ull bona lido settlors
on all public lands bo granted free homos, as
provided in the national homestead law, und
thnt no exception bs mndo in the ease of In
dian reservations' when opened for settlement,
and that all lands now patented conic under
this demnnd.
Fourth Direct Legislation: Wo favor a sys
tem of direct legislation through tho Initiative,
und referendum under proper constitutional
safeguards.
OKNKHAI. IMIOPOSITIONS.
First Wo demnnd the election of president,
vice president und United States senators by a
direct vote of the people.
Second We tender to tho patriotic people of
Cuba our deepest sympathy In tholr strugglo
for political freedom ami Independence, und
wo believe the time has come when tho United
States, tho great republic of tho world, should
recognlzo that Cuba is, and of right ought to
be, u free and Independent state.
Third Wo favor home rule in tho tcrtltorles
nnd the District of Columbia, and tho early ad
mission of tho territories as states.
Fourth All public sulurtes should be made
to correspond to tho price of lnbor und Its
products.
Fifth In times of great Industrial depres
sion Idle labor should bo employed on public
works as fur as practicable.
Sixth The arbitrary course of the courts In
assuming to imprison citizens for indirect con
tempt and ruling them by injunction should bo
prevented by proper legislation.
Seventh Wo favor just pensions for every
disabled union soldier.
KIghth Believing that the elective franchise
und untrammelcd ballot nro essential to a gov
ernment of, for iiuil by tho people, tho people's
party condemns tho wholesale system of dis
franchisement adopted in some of the states
as un-ropubtlruu und un-demoeratlc, and wo
declare it to bo tho duty of thu several slates'
legislatures to take such action uk wl.l secure
a full, fioo and fair ballot and an honest count.
Ninth While the foregoing propositions con
stitute the plutforni upon which our party
stands, and for tho vindication oj which Its or
ganlzntloii will bo maintained, wo rtcognizo
that tho great and pressing lsuo of the pend
ing cump.iign upon which tho present presi
dential election will turn Is the lltiauelal ques
tion, and upon this great and speclllc issue be
tween tho parties we cordially invito the aid
and co-operation of all org mlzatlons und citi
zens ugreolng with us upon this vital question.
At thu conclusion of the reading of
tho majority report J. S. Coxey, of Ohio,
was recognized to read his minority
report recommending tho issuance of
noii-intori'st-beuring bonds for the im
provement of tho roads of tho coun
try. Then .Mr. Klrb.v, of Texas, read the
other minority roport.
Finully, on motion of Mr. Ivelley, of
Kansas,' tho previous question wuj. or
dered. All the amendments were laid
on tho table, and the platform, im re
ported I y n majority of the committee,
was adopted.
Tho convention then proceeded to
tho selection of a candidate for vJco
president. When Alabama was called
it placed in nomination Bnrnott Gibbs,
of Texas. Tho convention then decid
ed to toko a recess.
At 0:fl2 p. m. tho convention reas
sembled and Congressman Skinner, of

in tho morning.
Iirjitn Nominated for President.
St. Loins, July 27. Thero was inex
tricable confusion on the lloor of the
Auditorium Saturday before the peo
ple's party convention met. The dole
gates stood about In animated groups,
discussing the situation, and what it
was best to do. The Bryan fooling was
very strong, and the telegram from tho
Nebrnskun declaring that he would not
accept the nomination rendered the
situation chaotic. Many desired to
nominate Bryan in the face of this tel
egram. Tom Morrison, of Colorado,
and ex-Gov. Lewelling, of Kansas,
however, said this would not do. They
counseled an indorsement of Bryon,
instead of a nomination, pointing opt
that an indorsement, which did not re
quire an acceptance, was the way out
of tho tangle.
Senator Allen called the convention
to order ut 0:30 and a committee to no
tify tho candidates for president and
vice president was selected. The chair
man then called for the nominations
for president. Gen. Weaver went for
ward to tho platform and in a lengthy
speech placed William ,). Brj'itn in
nomination. There were many
speeches made in seconding Bryan's
nomination. Several other nomina
tions were made, namely: Col. L. M.
Norton, of Illinois, was named by Mr.
Call, of Now York; Delegate Living
stone, chairman of tho Missouri dele
gation, named Ignatius Donnelly, of
Minnesota, and, when Donnelly de
clined the use of his name, ho placed
Gen. .1. S. Coxey, of Ohio, in nomina
tion. Tho nominating speeches oc
cupied six hours.
When tho nominations were closed
George Abbott, of Nebraska, moved
that the national committee be given
plenary powers in till things connected
with the party after tho adjournment
of the convention and the motion was
carried.
Tho roll call was then made and
Chairman Allen announced the olllcial
vote as follows: Bryan, 1,012; Norton,
331; Donnelly, 1(5; Dobs, 8; Coxey, 1.
It was 4:22 when the" announcement
of tlic vote was made and pandemonium
reigned for about 20 minutes. Finally
Chairman Allen declared Mr. Bryan
tho nominee of the convention, some
one made a motion to adjourn, the
chairman put tho motion and then de
clared the convention adjourned sine
die.
National Committee Organized.

'Withdraw.
Thomahto.v, (5a., July 27. Thomas
E. Watson, the populist nominee for
vice president, say.s: "I will accept
the noir.ination. I wired my friends
in St. Louis to that otl'ect I did it in
tho interest of harmony and to prevent
tho disruption of the populist party,
which seemed imminent. Under the
circumstance, I did what I believed to
be the best for all interests." Mr.
Watson predicts that tho fusion scheme
will be a grout success if carried out.
He thinks that Mr. Sewall should
withdraw.
llryanV Notlllrutlon,

St. Louis, July 23. Tho dolegates of
tho national silver organization wero
slow in assembling in the music hall
of the Exposition building, and thero
wero not nearly onough visitors to fill
tho galleries when J. J. Mott, chair
man of tho national committee, called
tho convention toorderat 12:30 o'clock
yosterdav. Braver was offered, after
which Miss LlHIo B. Pierce, of this
city, rend the declaration of independ
ence. This cnubcd an outburst of ap
plause. When tho call had been read, Con
gressman F. G. Newlands, of Nevada,
was introduced bv Dr. Mott as tempo
rary chairmau and proceeded to mulco
his address.
Tho committee on credentials re
ported that there wero no contestr.
The committee on permanent organi
zation recommended that W. P. St.
John, of Now York, bo selected for
permanent chairman; Charles A.
Towne, of Minnesota, be chosen for
vieo chairman, and 11. E. Dufendorfor,
of Pennsylvania, for secretary. Tho
report was received with cheers and
adopted.
The general trend of all tho speeches
in debating tho question was that tho
great object was to secure an indorse
ment of Bryan and Sewall. At every
mention of tho democratic nominee
tho delegates cheered.
When the second day's sosslon met
Congressman Newlands moved that a
committee on ways and means be ap
pointed to raise funds with which to
defray the expenses of the convention.
The report of the conference commit
tee was read and adopted and then
Senator Jones read tho platform, tho
chief part being as follows:
First Tho paramount Issue at this tlmo In
the United States Is Indisputably the money
question, It Is betweon the gold staudnrd,
gold bonds and bank currency on thu one sldo
und the bimetallic standard, no bonds and gov
ernment currency on tho other.
On this Issue wo declare ourselves to bo In
favor of u distinctively American tliiaucial
system. We aro unalterably opposed to tho
single gold standard and demand the Imme
diate return to tho constitutional standard of
gold and silver, by tho restoration by this gov
ernment, Independently of nay foreign power,
of the unrestricted coinage of gold und silver
us the stundtird mnuev at the ratio or sixteen
to one. and upon terms of exact equality, as
they existed prior to 187:1 tho silver coin to bo
u full legal tender, equally llth gold, for all
debts und dues, public and private, and wo
favor such legislation as will pi event for tho
future the demonetization of any kind of legal
tender money by prlvnto contract.
Wo hold that thu power to control und roini
late u paper currency Is insupainblo from tho
power to coin money: und, hence, that ull cur
rency intended to clicululo us money should bo
Issued and Us volume controlled by thu gen
eral government only, and should b;j legal
tender.
The platform then goes on to say
that it is opposed to the issue of bonds
in time of peace; it is against allowing
a syndicate of native and foreign bunk
ers to uphold the gold standard and
letting them make a large profit; de
nies that there can be such an economic
paradox as overproduction; appeals
to the people of the United States to
make one supreme effort to free them
selves from the money power, and rec
ommended tho convention to nominate
tho democratic nominees for president
and vice presidont.
The platform was adopted after soino
debate.
Mr. E. C. Little, of Kansas, then
nominated William J. Hryun, of Ne
braska, for president- After a num
ber of speeches Mr. Bryan was nomi
nated by acclamation.
Mr. Troup, of Connecticut, then
placed the name of Arthur Sewall, of
Maine, before the convention for vice
president and the nomination wits
unanimously agreed to.
Col. Pace, of Nebraska, offered a
resolution declaring it to be the sonso
of the convention that as tins ileum
emtio party had urrnnecd t notify
Bryan and Sewall in New York, tho
silver party notify them in Bryan's
home at Lincoln. Tho motion was
agreed to. Thereupon the uiu vent ion
adjourned sine die.

Sax Dikuo, Oil., July 27. The jury
in the llearne libel case, which bus
been on trial for several days past,
came into court shortly after noon
Saturday, after being looked up all
night, and announced a verdict for tho
pluintill', assessing damages at $10,000.
The action had been tried once before
the jury failing to agree. The plain
till' iu tho ease is Dr. J. ('. llearne, of
this city. Tho defendants aro M. II.
Do Young, proprietor of tho Sun.
Francisco Chronicle, and J. F. Blunt,
formerly that paper's San Diego cor
respondent. Tho article whloh formed
the basis of the suit was Kent from this
city in August, 1801. it was construed
by Dr. llearne and some of his friends,
as implicating the doctor in the mur
der of Amos J. Stillwell, at Hannibal,

STRIKING TAILORS.
Twenty Tlioiihiiml ICtitlmated to Ito Iilloiitr
Now York.
Nkw Yoitir, July 27. An nil-day
meeting was held by the striking tail
ors of this city in Wulhullu hull yes
terday. Addresses wero nuuio by a.
number of leaders and the situation
was generally discussed. The sub
stance of tho remarks made by thu
various speakers was to the effect that
no compromise with tho contractors
should bo made; that tho strikers must
stand firm and accept nothing but
victory. The fact that some of
the contractors who had in the.
past eombattcd tho tailors have now
joined hands with them is regarded by
the leadcrii as significant and is taken
as nn omen of success for the tailors in
their conflict for the entire abolition of
the sweat shop system, the increase of
the weekly scale of wages and for a
fixed weekly toil standard of fit) hours.
It is estimated that fully 20,000 hands;
are now idle on account of the strike,
in this city and vicinity.
