NAT'L COMMITTEE MEMORIES,
Echoes of the Omaha Gathering,
Pea Pictures of Populism.
It Is just an Important that populists,
north and south, east and west, get
acquainted with each other, ai It la that
tut soldiers lo the rank from all part
of this groat country of our should
fratsrnis and rub out with tb touch of
elbows, th old animosities. Nay more.
Hy so much mora a America la mora
value to tb world than Cuba or the
Philippine. It would ba a grand tbiug
If tba rank and file of aocial reformere
could get together In one rant camping
ground, compare tbougbta and exchange
idea and awap eiperleuco. The
atom limitation of tune and rail
road fare will not permit. Hut It ought
to ba the mission of all earnest newspap
ers to bring donor together that great
body of man ana women )n ever staie
in the union moved by a common pur
pose. It la the tnifteion of thin few dis
jointed rocollectloue to aid that purpose,
There ia one fundamental difference
txttwiwa a genuine gathering of populate
and any other kind of political meeting
It I einrossed In one word "brother'.
Rather It Iseiweesod in the way the word
ia aald. You never bear the term in a re-
publican or democratic gathering except
Itia need la a Jocose or sarcastic woe.
Hut you meet a populist irom joxas,
California or Maine and be takes you by
tha hand with the word "brother", in a
tone that blatantly start Imagea of the
old family homestead, th flroeiao and
the fain tar facee you have loved aince
childhood tbat'a different. And I have
found the handabake and the cadence
very much the eame whether It cume
from (Jeorgla or Kansas or Oregon, Jl
ia one note in the great harmony of
Muality and fraternity to which the
movement ia attuned.
Populist mooting are ridiculed for
tbeir atormlneaa. They can't help Mug,
There were eome etorma in the Omaha
committee meeting. The apeecbee of
Henator Allen and Henator Hutlor wore
ti amnios of storm v oratory. Ho per
tiapa were the speeches of Col, Hurkett
and Gen. l'billlpa of Georgia. Yet it wan
evident tbeaoutbero populate came to
Omaha with tlie purpose 01 putting for
ward only their cooleat oratora to plead
tbeir cauae, Tba recollection of that
wild tumult in the great convention ball
at Ht, Louie which followed the firat ad
journment and which reaembled nothing
In the world ao much aa tba oeue of
tba French revolution bad bad Ita effect.
Oa that occaalon the middle-of-the-road-era
simply wore themselves out in die
orderly Indignation. Tfaia time there
waa diciplin and organization,
It la perfectly plafn to every populiat
who attended the Omaha meeting that
when tba national convention tueete In
1900 tbert will be straight nopuliet
nomination for president and vice presi
dent and do fuaion, or there will be a
plit which will break the party iu two
about tbt middle. In the aouthera
and middle atatea the auti fuaion popn
liata will control tha organization. In
nearly all tha other atatea condition
will be mixed, but there will be
"straight" populiat electoral ticket a In
tba field in all the atatea. Home of ua
bava knows these thlnga longer than tba
Omaha meeting, There baa been a dis
position (aa 1 believe an unwiae one)
among the populiat prone of tba north
weat to auppreaa the facta about tha ait
nation, Just aa there baa been a dispo
ition among aome of the middle-of-the-road
preaa to mlarepreaent the populiat
of the northwest aa "democrata". It
aeema to me that the only way the union
deeired by all bouest. reformer can be
brought about ia by entire frankness.
There la no doubt that it baa been the
plan of leading populiat of the north
weat, acting in conjunction with leading
free ail ver democrat and republican, to
call the three national convention la
1000 at the eame time and pluce, to
nomluate the eame candidate for presl
dent n in 1800 and to nominate for
vice-preaideut, eome prominent populiat.
To tlii plan a large part of the popu
liat purty probably half at least have
given notice of undying hostility. They
avo secured the solemn pledge that the
populint National convention ahull be
called at leant a month before either old
party convention and the adoption ol
rule forbidding the ollicera of the na
tional commit U-e to promote funiou.

Thnre in a etorv regarding bim and
senator Allen which la good enough to
tell. Along In 1804-5 some of the pop
uliat of the weat and south began to
fear that ao attempt was on foot to
trim ths Omaha platform down to the
issue of free silver. A delegation went
to Washington to see our congressmen
and senators. Tracy wa one of them.
He presented to Henator Allen a paper
pledging it signere to stand by the en
tire Omaha platform. A Ilea read tba
aper aud leaued back in nis cnair, "it
was baullmr a big load up a bard bill
and likely to stall I would unload Part,
haul what 1 could upiue nui ana go
back after the rest what do you think
about it?" "1 tell you, senator, what I
think." said Tracy. "I think the d-
democrats would steal all the load you
left behind and the boys would all see
the hole iu your punts you tore while un
loading it." The name of William V.
Allen is writteu somewhere upon that
declaration (or the Omaha platlorm.
Milton I'ark, of Texas, is the general
of southern populists. He is a great
towering lellow, a dead match for Hua
tor Allen in height, figure and face. He

prehensive mind, grasping all the points,

convention In 1000 it waa best to stay
with tbe party. After hours of debate
about half bf tbe anti-fuaionlsts signed
a call for a convention in Cincinnati in
(September of this year to nominate

in tbeir own ranks it is not likely tbe
convention will prove a great success.

The 14tb senatorial district composed
of lirown, Keya I'aha, Cherry, Hberidan,

1800) of 4 1,047 aud one senator. J lie

Kimbull, Hunuer, Hcotta liluff, Grant,
Thomas and Hooker, fifteen counties,
with a population of 44,0,10, and one

Now examine the population necessary
to give us a member of the legislature,
out here n the west.
C'ld district counties of Hberidan,

Compare these conditions with tbe rep
resentation from tht eastern port of tbe
state.
Uichardson and Pawnee counties have
jointly a population of 27,012, nearly
4,000 less than the fmb representa
tive district, yet they nave one senator.
and Uichardson bus three and 1'awnee
two representatives, a total of aix mem
beraofthe lawmaking body with less
votea than we have to get lust one mem

Try Johnson and Nemaba, Tbey have
one senator, and .'jointly ont member.
while Nemaha ba two - member and
Johnson one. Tbe two counties have a
total population of 24,244 and get five
members of tbe law making body, while
we have JW,0)7 to get us one member,
Nemaha also bas a lieutenant governor.
Uichardson county also bus a statt
auditor and wants bim re-nominated
and I am Informed also bas a candidate
for governor,
Merrick bas 2,000 rote and a member
of tbt b'gislature,who defeated our Htate
rrigation J-air appropriation. Jit
could not have done It If w could bava
bad our proper representation, but we
poll 7,000 votes to get us one member,
hver since 1800 we bav tried to rem!
edy this great wrong in the legislature,
but because of our slim representation
we have failed. Koch year makes the
discrepancy greater, and we have deter
mined to ask tbt statt convention to
give u aomt evidence of populiat fair
nesa. Wa hava plenty of men who would
make good state auditors, secretaries of
state or lieutenant governors, living in
counties which are not over represented.
In fact we have plenty of citizens compe
tent and worthy to nil any state oitice,
A few such positions in the west end of
the state would even things up some

In 1802, this senatorial district gave
Senator Darner ,100 majority, and this

failed.
In 1894, W. It. Akers and Dr. Harris,
republicans; were elected to the senate
and bouse rcepectively, by from seven to
eigne hundred majority, aad John M.
Thurston was made United Htates Sen
ator, It will ba a source of satisfaction to
prospective office seekers to know that
as Akers and Harris failed to secure a
re-districting and made no provision
for taking a census in 1805, tbe SOtb
senatorial and 54th representative dis
tricts In 1800, gave Feltz and Htebbins,
two populist, tbe usual 600 majority.
What will be done this fall cannot be
told, but it bad better get out now as a
warning, than to be discovered later on
as a source of lamentation, that the

tat bolt upright on the railing around
the reporters' den, says the Kansas
City Tlmea. He was sound asleep with
bis keys thrown carelessly across bis
knees. Even the reporters bad lost
track of what was going on and were
dreaming of scoops and such fjtilngs,
when tbe door was thrust suddenly
open and a drunken man of some 20
summers entered. Tbe captain's feet
came down from the radiator with a
bang; the jailer's keys rattled, a sure
sign that be was no longer asleep; the
reporters unconsciously reached for
their pencils. "Captain, I've been held
up," tbe man said, In alcoholic tone.
"Who held you upf ' tbe captain asked,
as be reached for a pen, "A policeman.
sir; right here In front of the door.
He took all my money and everything
else bo could get bis hands on," Tbe
captain took tbe man's name end
called an officer, "Go with this fellow
and see if be tells the truth," the cap
tain said to tbe officer, "Oh. no. let's
don't do that; I ain't been held up; I'm
juat sleepy; that's all. I want some
place to sleep." Every one breathed
easier. The captain's feet went back
to the radiator; the jailer's keys found
their way back across his knees and
the reporters put back their pencils.
"That fellow can't much more than
hold himself up," the captain said, as
quiet resumed sway.
