[ Loud cheers. |
'Moses an mi i\nmple. :
Uolocuto Thomas B. Cater of California
curliestly supported the resolution us pio-
senlod. The speaker onlurcil upon what bo
described ns the seientllic basu of boycott ,
and pointed to tbo action ol iMosos when the
children of Iiraol weru oppressed , to show
its ancient character. "Boycotting is not
human but divine , " lie further wont on ,
nnd wound up amidst enthusiastic cheers
that capital is thi > oppressor an J had to bo
fought with its own weapons.
J ho mulumca showed many indications of
weariness by a departure fiom the regular
work of tbc convention and afforded but
bcant courtesy to the Tennessee delecuto
who followed ! The speaker asuuil the us-
Bi'inblv , amid consldurablo eonfuiion , not to
tntto upon Itself quesUotib with which it bud
nothing to do.
"Cyi-lono" Unvls of Texas wns for the boy
cott ll believed in that principle of nature
which btnus every living being lo Its friund ,
and tt.o enemies of labor are not our friends ,
llo stood by the record and the truth.
There is no such thing na ooycott. It only
consists in lolling your enemies alone and
staylnir with jour friends. lie would lot
his enemies supromclv nlono. You might
call that , a bovcott if you choose ,
but ho wan'ed to Ucop up the system.
Ho wnntet to boycott the system of
plutocracy In the country and in the gilded
palace ? ol out-congressional ha'lls. llo wanted
lo boycott the plutocratic senators who
spent about W.UUO a year of the people's
nionoy for u b.irbor shop , pomade , lavender
anu rbsowaler. He wanted this boycott kept
up till every vestleo of this is gone and the
pconlo iignln have their rights.
The debute was laken up by other speak
ers. A Texas dologalo declared that boy-
colling wns alienaling Irom llic ICnighls of
Labor , of which ho ( the delegate ) wns a
member , the sympathy of the merchants who
s.vinpntbi7cd with ninny of the progressive
views of the independent party. Ho ven
tured lo predict Unit there was ono business
that would ncvor bo boycotted tbo liquor

Another speaker echoed the sentiments of
the last delegate , while a third expressed his
opinion that the csolullon deserved lo bo car-
lied.
iKimlllM Donnelly I'mori * licollln > ; .
Then came Iho Important speech of Ibo
nlghl on the question , ono by Ignatius Don
nelly. The rusolulloii , he declared , was in
keeping with tlio spirit of the prnumblo to
tbo platform adopted with so much unanim
ity earlier in the day. "Tho Hocliostrtr
clothini ; manufacturers have .said lo 10,000 of
their workmen nnd workwomen that they
could not gain a moans of livelihood without
yielding Ihoirrlghls as American citizens , "
Mr. Donnelly said.'On this Ihero can oo
no compromise. "
At this declaration the hall ranir with
cheors.rcnowcd again und again , the voice of
( ienenil Master Workman 1'owderly of the
Knights of Labor making itself itNUnctabovo
the ceneral din.
"This vast and gigantic movement should
extend its powerful arm to tlio uld of Ibo op
pressed and downtrodden. If tlio resolution
wore simply to oxpi-0-.b the projucilcn of a
ciasn I should not support it. But It is a
movement to declare that the American olti-
ten. however immbtu , rxintns nil ilia ilgliis

that freemen will not clothe their Mines in

At last tbo moment had arrived when nil

for Iho presentation of candidates for the

scarcely shouted by the sccretarr when J , C.
Manning of Alabama arosa and promptly
placed In nomination u man , "tbo mention of
whoso numo creates such enthusiasm as was

The place of Colorado was yielded to
Colonel S. F. Norton of Illinois , who placed
.Senator Kylu ot South Dakota in nomina
tion. Joloncl Norton began by calling atten
tion to Postmaster General Wanamakor's
refusal to permit transmission through thu
malls to one of the now reform books. His
blood could not have been more completely
frozen if bo hnd seen thrust Into every win
dow ot the building a , loaded cannon with a
uniformed government minion behind it. If
that little book could not go through the
malls there are n thousand reform papers
that could not go through the malls and
tnoir platform could not co through. The
man ho should name hud already won bis
spurs in the brainiest und shrewdest as
sembly In thu United States. The
man bo should name stood there
as a giant. Ono part of his
strong ih consisted in the fact tbat bo is a
member of no faction. In the llftecn or
twenty years' light they had boon engaged In
many wounds had boon received , and unfor
tunately soma of these scars had bean In-
lllclsd by their comrades , but there wns no
man his candidate had woundod. It would
give him greater personal pleasure to present
the name of some member of the old guard ,
but he said "Let the old guard hold tno fort
ami lot the now cuard carry tbo banner. "
His candidate's brain was not measured by
the girth of hi.s waist. [ Laughter. ) Ho was
n man so great that no jig wblto hat of nn
ancestor could Illdo him from the puhllo
guzo. Ho pledged support to whoever
Iho candidate might be , for no man
could bo so great as the platform of princi
ples of the party. HU candidate was a
broad and liberal 'minded man who gave to
every ono tbo right to speak and write for
himself and follow the dictates of his own
conscience In all things. Thu now par.y
should take up the Calllornia pioneer Hag ,
with the rattlesnake and the motto , "Don't
Tread on Me , " und nny to I'inkorton detect
ives and sill : .stockinged militia , to caltlo
kings , to corporations "Don't tread on mo. "
It was not impossible or Improbable that
they might place the man no would name In
the whlto bouse that grand , mugnillcont
man , Jamus H. Kyle of South Dakota.

Ivv-Nenator Van Wye Is Named.
Stephen H. Basher of , Illinois , pastor of
the Progressive church , said thai as armies
follow intrepid leaders lo conquest nnd vic
tory , so should political parties crown with
honor the genius nnd leadership which gave
It birth. The people's party was founded on
principles not men , and It demanded as its
loader its biggest , brainiest and squares !
man In the party fold. The party should
Kbop in the middle of the road and cliooao a
man who was old enough in the party to
know where the middle of the road is. That
man was Senator Van Wyck of Nobrasifii.
The mention of Van Wyck's numo aroused
some of Iho liveliest cheering of tbo conven
tion.
John H. Borgorman of Indiana , n one-
legged soldier , seconded the nomination c/f
General Jamas B. Weaver.
Prof. C. Vincent of tbc Nonconformist of
Indiana said that although Indiana was
divided now , she would not bo In November.
Ho had nothing to say against Weaver , but
it seemed to him that they must not now
blood Into the movement at Iho head of the
ticket anu talco a man loss identitled with
the curses showered on the old guard. Ho
seconded Kyle's nomination , and another In
diana delegate jumped to nls foot , and said
one-half the delegation was for Van Wyck.
Wlic.it'M Talk lor UYuvur.
Tbo principal speech for General Weaver
was made by Morris L. Wheat of Town ,
Weaver's own state. Mr. Wheat , said :
Mr. Chairman : No greater responsibility
or higher duty over rested upon n human
assembly than upon tbo ouu here convened.
Wo are lo nominate men who will ooar our
banner in this lirst organized lUht against
the unscrupulous out thoroughly disciplined
hosts of monopoly.
Htnifglos for equal rights and opportuni
ties are as old as Humanity and dot tbo pages
of hlstoiy with alternate success und failure ,
but among them alt none call for meru cour-
uu'n , dovoled patriotism und skillful leader
ship than tlio ono about , to commence be
tween the conscienceless hordesof plutocracy
cud the army of vutors who will taithfully
tollow the banner of tlio pcoptu's party to
the ballot-box nsxt Novo'mbcr. Tlio com
mon people of this country huvo nt lost re
solved to take the reins of iho irovornmoni
which their forefathers created mid which
they huvo maintained Into their own hands.
Wo nro to place In nomination a candidate
for the presidency , not 11 pliant hireling
of Wall street , but ono who
springs from the croat plain people of ibo
country ; one In thorough sympathy with
their wants ; ono who touches elbows with
the teller of tbo shop and the tiller of Urn
Hold. The loaders of Iho old party combine-
lions take tbnlr coriltlcaloi of leadership
from u plutocracy mightier than that which
sent Homo lo her grave and holds Europe lu
Its urasp todav , a plutocracy moro tlomlish
than ever uflllctcd a nation. It touched
tbo brain of tbo Minneapolis and Chicago
cage conventions. The result everybody
knows , or ought to know , Is the choice ol
men who had been previously clio-en bv the
money power of thn country. Thev stand
upon platforms that promise nothing to the
grout army of wealth producers. Ho who
votes for either throws his vole away and
tiacrilicos upon Ibe buso altar of prejudice
the dearest rights of liberty , equality and
home.
It Is not so hero. This movement oriel-
ntlcu with the common people ; with
thorn It must remain It wo would preserve -
servo pure and inviolate our rights ,
the bullot-bo < c und legislation. Now ,
und hero , lu ibU Ur.st great conflict with
plutocracy , are wo to cheese u loader. Ho
must bo a man who will guide us "in the mid
dle of tbo road , " one who will carry our
banner boldly and skillfully in tho' fore
front of buttle , ono who has taught , and
will teach , that "Kqual rights to Ml and
spoi'lul privileges lo none , " and that "an
injury to ono U ihu concern of all'1 Is ibo only
enduring republican form of government.
Wo must trot choojo one who ucrees with us
only In part , neither must HO bnw down to
tLo old party theory ol nominating auv 0:10 :
who wo think will command Iho most voles
regardless of whether bo Is in hearty accord
with our onllro platform.
It would bo a criminal bluudor tbat might
glvo us a temporary gain , but In thu end rum
and illsusior. Wo want a man whu.U em

coinage of silver , and , also , of tbo Isnuo by
the government of full legul lender paper
to mala1 , altogether , fU per capita In

there. Ho must bo In favor of government
control of tctogrupb and railroad lines und
ol the extinguishment of laud monopoly.
\\'o \ have n man who pre-eminently lilts'tbo
requirement * , wbo has taught moro bailies
for ilio tolling miiisos than any other In this
country. In tbo L-loom of bygone years ,
'
when It was worth nlmoil a man's Illo'to 01-
notiso the cause wo hold ueur today , bo stood
fearlessly and pleaded In cotiirrevi too canty
of the proplu. Tbou blngle-handou and alouo

ID the desert of Iniquitous botnival of pub'.lc
trust. No hrlbo over stained his character ,
no act of dishonor over sullied the Integrity
of bis heart. Through tbo dark night of
party prejudice has boon heard his clarion
"call ot action. " Serene In defeat , always
confidant of final success while others wore
disheartened and doubtful of victory ,
wise , skillful nnd full of wonderful
energy In battle , when success has crowned
his efforts ho never forgot tbo nluln , common
people who so largely supported him ,
Moro than ono of the mighty champions ot

The subsidized blackguardism incarnate In

its poUanod darts ot slander nnd rldlculo only

Flittering armor of truth nnd Justice. Others
have been great , in noble sclfiacrlllcc , but
there does not live today n grander advocate
of the common people than this bravo
veteran of the western prairie.
In nominating him wo shall mnko no mis
take. As wo outer Into our llrst battle I am
proua of tbo honor to nominate as our candi

Major Henry Webb of Massachusetts , cf.n-

\\iiiited to Limit Speech Milking.
The speeches were cottlng wearljomo to
the hot , tired delegates and bosldos , for sen
timental reasons , it was desired to make tbo
nomination before the Fourth had oxpirod. It
was moveu to limit speeches to three minutes
und this stirred up Mr. Bird , n ujgro
delegate from Chicago , who protested against
giving one side n fair show nnd than giving
the other side the buck and gag law. Ho
wanted to speak. A compromise was fixed
up providing that no speeches with reference
to old candidates should bo made , but that
nominating and seconding addresses for now
candidates would bo permitted and In tbls
form tlio motion to limit dobalo was declared
adopted.
1'alco nt Vlrglnln.
Delegate tigorv Brown of Massachusetts
nominated Mr. Munn Paigoof Virginia , who ,
besnld , was president of n state nllianco and
was , therefore , capable of tilling the position
of the presiuent of the United States.
If thi ) honso of representatives
should bo called upon to elect n president ,
the local pride of the south would bo a very
great factor in shuttering the democratic
column that otherwise will elect the man
named by ono of the old parties. No man
would uotter represent tbo south than Mann
Pnigo.
Dolocato Hsu of Minnesota rose to pay a
tribute to Ignatius Donnelly and to toll of bis
unscltishnoss in refusing the offer of the
stale by which bo was loved , to put him tn
nomination. "His fama as aq orator , as a
statesman , as a lover of humanity is known
from end lo cud of the land. I merely appear
before you to boar testimony to the love in
which Minnesota holds her most honored
son , Ignatius Donnelly. " [ Long continued
applause. ]
Interrupted by tin Iiinnno Mini.
A man out of hl.s mind created a sccno uy
going on the platform and interrupting the
proceedings. There were shouts to take him
dowa and iomo of the ofllcort attempted to
remove him , but Senator Van Wyck called
out not to make a scono.
Mr. Powdorly provontou what threatened
to prove an ugly episode by taking the gavel
In the emergency , bringing tbo convention tea
a bush , and after giving iho unfortunate an
opportunity to say a few Incoherent sentences -
tonces , persuaded him to qulotly leave the
hall.
Notwithstanding tbo rule adopted against
seconding speeches for candidates who bad
already been named and seconded , the flood
could not bo shut off. A withdrawal of ono
candidate , Van Wyck of Nebraska , varied
the proceedings.
Vandurvoort Withdraw * V n Wjrak.
Mr. Paul Vunrtorvoort , In a forcible nnd
eloquent speech , staled tbat Nebraska had
no candidate to offordetormlnlnir to glvo her
votes In November to the man chosen by tbo
convention. Incidentally ho alluded
to Van Wyck and asserted that Nebraska
would have given him Its hor.rty support had
ho allowed his name to go Before the conven
tion. Slnco bo would not consent , the people
of Nebraska would sea that ho was selected
for governor nt tbo next state olertlon.
At midnight tbo roll of stales for nominat
ing and seconding speeches was still In pro
gress , with Tennessee Iho lalest state callou.
Joseph Wali-op , Portland , Oro. , seconded
the nomination of Weaver.
At this Juncture Indiana , which bad asked
to be passed on the first call , mudo a request
to bo heard by thu chairman of her delega
tion. Ho staled that Indiana had listened to
nil that had boon said by her sister stales In
order to ascertain the choice of all the great
states ot the Union. Tbls sbolco bad seemed
to bo for General Weaver of Iowa , and In
diana announced that the solid vole of the
Hooslur stuio would bo cast for the Iowa
candidate. [ Prolonged appuuso. ]
The Virginia delegation also withdraw the
names of its sons and declared unanimously
In favor of General Weaver.
the two old parties named their president
through the aid of English capital , supported
tbo name of Weaver as a lilting ropiesanta-
tivo of the people's party.
West Virginia announced It would cast a
solid vole for Weaver , believing him to bo
tbo choice of the convontlon.
Took Tliolr CUD from Indiana.
The announcement from Indiana was the
euo for other states und there was quicidy a
landslide and a rush to got into tbo Weaver
band wagon.
New York bad boon passed and Farmer
Daan now appeared on the stage ana said
that the Now York delegates agreed with
New England to remain neutral and allow
tbo south and vest lo select the candidate
und they would vote for the man selected.
Now York had Raid If you want that Judge
of such renown ( Urosbam ) and ho will stona
on tbo platform It would vote for him. Now
Now York hoped Weaver's nomination
would bo made unanlmoui. It would vote
solid for Weaver.
Mississippi swung solid Into the Weaver
line , through an announcement from ono of
her delegates. All bar raon were on their
fcot to make similar announcement , but
were cut short by u protest from Schilling
that It was not fair to permit these announce
ments nnd by allowing states to bo called
after ihuy bad boon recognized , to stnmpada
thu convention.
U. C. Post , chairman of the Georgia dele
gation , got nn opportunity , however , to snv
that Georgia , which bad been ono of the

From the very boginnmg of the roll call

With llttlo delay a roll call o'f states for

George F. Guitbor of Alabama presented
the name of Mr. Bon Terrell of Texas for tbo

Delocnto Beverly of Arkansas nominated
ox-Con federate General James G. Field of
Virginia , who previously received ono vo eon
on iho presidential ballot. A delegate from
Colorado seconded tbo nomination , as did
Delaware.
A Florida delegate named Bon Terrell of
Texas.
At once a delegate of North Carolina
sprung to bis feet and nt the top of bis voice
asked If a man could bo eligible for the vice
presidency who bad boon on trial before the
lurmers alliance. A number of the boulherii
delegates attempted to make themselves
liounJ , and gave rlso to u sccno ol confusion.
Delegate Branch jumped on the stage and
yelled for order.
Secretary Turner of tbo national nllianco
took advantage of a lull to support the nomi
nation of General Field , wbo was cbani-
pionod by various other delegations.

Bon Terrell himself now mounted the plat
form. "Any assertion , " bo said , passion
ately , "that I am or hnvo boon connected
with any trust or bavo over boon in any

an Infamous falsehood. It is an

Al this Juncture the question of amending

out the provision rogardingsccona choice was
sprung in another torm.
Vaudcrvoorl of Nebraska opposed the pro
vision for tbo retirement of candidates with
only u small following. "Wo believe , " salil
ho , "that any man that has a eliolco should
bo permitted to exorcise thnr choice without
being muz7lod and that a man can stay In
aud bo voted on even if ho has only ono vote
until the crack of doom. ' Ho proposed nn
amendment striking out the clause of the
rules providing that after iho second ballot
nil candidates except the two leaders shall
bo retired and inserting a provision that
when balloting begins candidates shall bo
voted for until there Is n choice. This
amendment prevailed by a largo majority so
that tbo rules ns to balloting are in accord-
nnco with the customary rules In national
conventions on this matter.
The rule ns 11 n ally adopted is as follows :
In balloting for candidates the following or
der fchall bo observed Iho secretary shall
call the roll of iho states nnd the chairman
shall announce the vote as cast. Each state
shall appoint its own tellers , collect and
count its own ballots und its chairman shnll
announce the result. When wo commence

until some candidate- receive a majority of
nil tuo voles cast.

There was a great deal of disorder In tbo
reassembling ot the convontlon after the
Fourth of July parade intermission and tbo
twenty minutes' recess proved nearly an
hour long , at part of the time being taken up
witb ono of the numerous songs born of the
growth of the now party.
The chairman's gavel from Oregon was

publican wbo had got used to stealing gavels

when the gavel was ut once put in his hands.
There were a largo number of vacant seats
In the hall , roused by some delegates from
far-off slales having no use for llieir quoia ,
wbllo olbors were hold by the citizens' com
mittee , which was endeavoring to bell them.
Paul Vundcrvoort of Nouraska moved to nd-
milall old soldiers of thobluooribogrny wilb

niont lo admit promiscuously all applicants

Stewart end Senator Teller , ns nny man In
tbo country , llo believes the people's party
will carry Kansas , Nebraska and South and

edly would throw the election into tbo heuso
and result In the election of n democratic
president unless the sliver men formed a
combination to elect , u president favorable to
free silver , which would glvo tbo people's
party candidate & ebanco.
Kyle added that bo opposed the force bill
and favored a low tariff. Ho considered the
international monetary conference n dilatory
measure , concerted by the gold men to qulot
the free silver agitation pending the coming
election. His sentiments on immigration
colt.cido with those of tbo Kuighta of Labor

It is still insisted by TnuUoncok and ethers
that Kyle's nnmo will bo presented but they
acknowledge ) chances are now In favor of
Weaver.
With Kyle out of the race the work of last
ntcht has been undone in a measure and tbo
delegates are moro hopalessly nt sen than
over. Much now depends upon the report
from tbo delegation Umt wont to Chicago to
make nnothor appeal to Judge Gresham to
bead the reform ticket.
The delegates opposed to Weaver are cast
ing about for un available- candidate and will
endeavor to defer the nomination until they
can ugrao upon a candidate.

Manning of Alabama talked to tbo gal

leaving the delegates to Imagine what he
was saying.
Brown of Massachusetts , the leader of iho
Weaver forces , left his delegation and occu
pied n seat In the front row of the Kansas
delegation directly lu front of thu platform.
The tompornluro of the hall became un
comfortably warm before the convention got
down to business ut the afternoon session ,
nnd Kansas , North Carolina and Wisconsin
delegates set the example in a general shed
ding of : oats ,
Af lor being oncngcd for some time iu a
soomlnglv hopeless attempt , lo got the con
vontlon qulot enough to resume business.
Chairman Loucks said , "Gentlemen , nothing
further will bo dcno until order is restored ,
If wo have to wait hero a week. I'm In no
hurry. Wo are boiug entertained in llrst

for soma timo. "
A Kansas delegate complained that some
of the seats aot apart for the Kansas delega
tion were occnmed by these who wore not
delegates , The chairmnn requested nil who
were not delegates to retire from the body
of thu hall , but no ono heeded It until it was
followed up by an order to show tickets.
Then the interlopers began to lldect about

Toi-BKV , Kan. , July 4.- The result of the
democratic county conventions bold through
out tbo stuto to elect delegates to the aomo-
cralic state convontlon , which moots hero
Wednesday , show that there Is n great di
versity of opinion. There nro three classes.
Onn favors tbo endorsement of the en tire
people's party stnto tlokot , another favors
the nomination of straight democrats only ,
and the third advocates the nomination ot
such of tbo people's party candiauiuj ns are
acceptable to democrats. Ono point , how
ever , the democrats are pretty well agreed
upon , nnd that is that tbo people's party
electoral tlckotshould receive the utiltod sup
port ot the democratic party ; that ICansaj
may bo taken out of tbo republican column
and the election of president thrown into the
liouso.
There nro no avowed candidates for any of
the places on the democratic ticket outslda
of the nominees of tbo people's party. If the
antlfusionists should win. it Is probable that
David Ovormyor will bo nominated for con-
grossman-at-lnrpo.
Moro Interest Is attached to Ibis conven
tion than to nny over held by the democrats
in Kansas , for on its action will depend lha
outcome of the campaign in this stato.

In tlio course of an interview in the
Chicago Tribune the ether day Colonel
Ingorboll said :
"I know of nothing that has glvon
moro comfort to the human race after
all than tobacco , it is a companion. I
do not see how anybody can wait for a
train without cigars. Tobacco is a great
consolation to uxllos , to prisoners , to
men who work in mines , to choppers In
thi ) forest , to sallori and to all people
who are alono. I know of nothing that
so consoles the mind of man IIH tobacuo.
Whenever wo go in barbarian countries
Central Africa or the far olT islands
of the 1'nclflu the natives immediately
got in love with tobacco. They will
work for it ; they will hunt elephants'
tusks if you will only pay thorn in to
bacco. So I have made up my mind
that there is something in the nature of
man that asks for this divine and con *
soling weed. "
