an index of whit the political harvest

on It well defined platform, must and
will Buccetd in November, if the voer
e.wclses his right and does hi duly as
he feels and knows ho should.
At this lato date it is unnecessary to
go over the dctsiU of the first of these
convention; but it may not be out of
place to remind our reader of the un
bridled enthusiasm, perfect harmony
and plain and decisive platform of the
people' party. It dodged no important
live isbtiu of tho day; but camo out
boldly and defined iho position of the
party as favoring and demanding gov
ernment ownership of railroads, tele
graph tied telephones, to be operate 1

up. The Dryaa .'orcs headed by
their brilliant captain made a gallant
fjgbt for pjre demoeracy, but wero dc
lcatcd in the unequal costc ;t. The state
central committee bad quietly com
municated with postmaster, prospec
tive postmaster and other appointed
goverumeut offl la's and thoro hoping
fur appointment, directing that so far
ss possible, administration democrats
only were to be bent to tho convention.
Oae notable lnsticcj of their "fucees
through defeat" along thl line, wa
fiat of A. 13. Chaide of Uurt county, a
Clereland-Morten-goldbug, who wa
unable to get into the liart county dele
gallon that county being of ihe Bryan
stripe of democracy succeeded in gt
ting Into th Knox county delegation ,
where he voted the county solid agslntt
liryau and the much needed mott y of
th3 constitution.
At one time during tho evening win n
the uproar wa ao lnten that one could
caret ly hear himself tho till staight
figure of Well. Ilarrlogton of Uurt wa
seen to rUe and tower above the bead
of all. Alter trying in vain to secure
silence, he stretched fort h hi hand and
with clenched fist and detci mined ges
ture he said:
"Mr. chairman and gentlemen of tbla
convention, Jesu Christ wa crucified
by hi enemies; but hi cause wa just
and he in the right, and be arose again.
I tell you gentlemen, though Mr. Bryan
be crushed to earth tonight he will
surely rise again, If you gentlemen will
do your duty next November and help
us roll away the stoue."
Several hundred delegates went home
with tho determination that tht ir gal
lant leader should not fall by their
vol.
Scarcely had -the democratic convert
lion finished its business, and the major
part of it delegate gone home, when
the gavel sounded for order In the re
publican convention.
For pureiine-sided harmony, thl con
vention was the crown to anything of
tho kind it bad ever been our pleasure
to witness. It was evident from tho
start that the Maxwell delegate' were
"not In it." Thootbtr fellow bad It
all their own way. They named a
chairman; they seated their chairman;
they named their committees; they re
fused to adjourn though a vote was car
ried In favor of doing so; they enforced
gag-rule to the disgust of honest-mlnd-ed
men; tlicy forced vote after vote un
til the field was enabled to unito their
forces against thut grand old man Judge
Maxwell, who dated to be honest al
though holding office at the hand of
republicans, and he was Jgriomlnlously
"turned down."
Several delegations ouletly went
home before the convention was out.
Expressions of dissatisfaction were '
numerous. Scores of delegates declared
their intention of supporting Judge
Holcomb, tbe people' party nominee.
Coo prominent republican, high up la
tho counsel of hi party, but wbo wa
and is an uncompromising Maxwell
man, said to the wd'er: "There ha
Ixei too much free railroad transmuta
tion to the World' fair Issued, with
Tom Bctlton a public dlpenor, for
Judge aMaxwell to stand any show."

Bv turuiuar down Maxwell tbo re

10,000 republicans out of the fold and
driven them into the populist camp.
