At the people's independent conven tion at Wauneta, Chase county, Hon. L. G. Ruggles was the unonimous choice for renomination of the Sixty seventh district, and the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, first, That we heartily en dorse the preamble and platform adopt ed by the people's independent party at Omaha on July 4, 1892, and earnestly ommend the principles therein enun ciated to the thoughtful consideration of the electors of tbo Sixty-seventh representative district of the state of Nebraska. 2. That wo earnestly request our representatives in all legislative bodies to spare no honorable means t6 have the principles as set forth in said pre amble and platform enacted as soon as may be into laws for the benefit of th3 whole people. 3. That we demand the speedy re peal of the numerous class laws that now encumber the statute books cf the state of Nebraska and in their stead demand the passage of laws giving (in fac5 as well as in name) equality to all and special privileges to none. Resolved, That whereas thero exists an organized body of military men belonging to no one sta'o of our great union of states, owned and employed by capital for the sole and only purpose to oppress and intimidate labor, and whereas we believe that the congress of the United S ates is the only power vested with authority to declare war, therefore we commend the action of the citizens of Homestead, Pa , in man fully defending their homes against these unauthorized invaders of their commonwealth.

The independents of Nelson had a grand ratification meeting on July 30th. Messrs. Dech and Chamberlain ad dressed the people during the day and Mr. Wright spoke to a full houso in the evening. The meetings were very en thusiastic. O wing to the slowness of the U. S. mails, the notices of the meeting did not reach th-iir destination in the dif ferent precincts in time for them to come to the meeting, consequently there were only about 1,000 present. The club has recently bought a fine twenty foot flag, and the ladies of the "Woman's Weaver and Meld Campaign Club" have worked upon it the?o word: "Weaver and Field Are In the Mi idle of the Road." This flag was husg up on Main street and caused the g. o. p.(s a great deal of trouble. They were heart broken to think that the flag should bo so dese crated (consecrated). Threats and curses were indulged in when there were not 0 many inde pendents near. Some brainy lawyers threatened" to send for the U. S. marshal to arrest somebody, presumably the women. "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." But the flag floated gaily all day, as it -will on many similar occasions during the campaign. ' It was the intention of the club to raise a liberty pole on this occasion, but it did not get here in time so wo will have another meeting for that pur pose. Mrs. L. M. Kemmerer.
