We roust till be it guardian and defender. rbe lemo cratio party bat declared for aonie of our more important principle. If that party la honest we need and deire it assistance in putting tbem into opera tion. We bare alway taught that principle mux the put above party.and nasrouch at tbe Democrats bare nomi nated one man whom there i no reason to distrust, we can and inuit aluo nom- nate that man. By uch a course we do not endorse the Democratic party. It recent record doea not merit confidence, and the fulfillment of new promise is not certain. Hut we can declare our confidence in out vmn nominated, and help to elect him. If we fail to do this we split the silver force and make the victory for the Money Tower certain, and thus lone all hope for securing reform in the pres ent fight. If we nominate the Demo cratic nominee and help to elect him, we have the promise of reform. If he and bis party should be tray that promise, we have lost no more than we would lose by splitting the silver forces. In one case there is no promise or pledge. In this other case there is a promise and pledge should be forever hereafter know that the Demo cratic party is a traitor and liar and it will be wiped out of existence. But in all this we must seek to main tain the organic integrity of the Peo ple party. It is the force that has forced the issue to the front, and it must remain a force to see that promi se are not broken. We will therefore nominate a Vice-President and give him our full support as a destinctive reform organization. We do not mean by this course to put the preservation OF THE GREATEST POLITICAL CONVENTION EVEB HELD IN AMEBICA A COMBINATION OF THE SOUTH AND WEST-THOS. E.

Its action is before tbe grrat public for approval or rejection N'nrnnvfrition ever met which had to deal with a more complex problem, and it is more than: probable thataftt-r a full consideration, the action taken on that problem will commend itself to tbe people generally. The Teople' I'ty forced to the front the great Utile of financial reform. All the education and information which the people have on this issue is directly due to our party. This was promoted and lodged In the minds of the people despite the strongest opposition tbe most desperate condemnation and the most vlruleut and malignant abuse that all the combined powers and hosts of plutocratic anarchy and organized piracy could bring to hear against it As the truth and justice of the Peo pie' party came dawned on the people they aligned themselves with it forces. This new alignment brough about a rapid decimation of the rank of the old parties, but more especially of the Democratic party and threaten ed its total destruction. That party seeing its danger and realizing that the great people could no longer be tampered with or cajoled by party ties or party fealty, suddenly and un expectedly put forth a platform at its of party aDOVe principle, but we mean recent National convention embody- to maintain a reserve power which ing ome genuine Democratic princi- may be needed to force parties to put pies some principle whicb the Peo- principles into operation just as we pies party had been advocating for have forced parties to declare for these nearly si x years. principles.

We condemn the frauds by which tbe land grants to tbe Pacific Railroad cutupan-! ies bare, through connivance of tbe Interior department, robbed multitudes of actual boualide settlers of their homes and miners of their claims, that we demand legislation by Congress which will enforce the exemp tion of mineral land from such grants after, as well as before patent. 3. We demand that bonafide settlers on all public lands be provided free homes and be provided for in the national Homestead law, and tbat no exception be made in tbe case of Indian reservations when opened for settlement, and tbat ail lands not now patented com under this demand.

Sorsetitoe enthusiasm would get tbe upper band of tbe dele gates, and then it would look a though bedlam bad broken loose and that everthingws wild. Tbe convention was very much more amenable to tbe influence of tbe chair than sucb gath ering uiuilly are, and while it could make more disturbance and a bigger racket, when it broke loose, than any other convention tbat ever met. it could be called to order and quieted more quickly by tbe presiding officer than any other convention. Perhaps tbe most severe criticism tbat could be made of the convention, from a Populist standpoint is tbat it was too anxious to display oratory. Xigb on to two hundred delegate went to St. Louis loaded with big peecbes whicb each thought migbt make him famous if be could get it off. And there never waa tbe like of apeak ng in a convention before since God created tbe earth. Tbe speeches were all good.

At 12:37 on Wednesday Chairman Taubeneck stepped to the front of the platform to call the convention to or der. At sight of bun tbe Illinois del egation, whicb sat immediately below the platform, rose up and cheered. Mr. Taubeneck is a large, handsome man, with a heavy brown mustache, and rather a pallid complexion. Quiet came with the tirst rap of tbe gavel. Kev. W. I.. Smith, of the Tbird Bap tist church, of St. Louis, delivered tbe invocation. The l,4iK) delegates stood reverently as he appealed to the throne of Grace to drive out all evil and sec tionalism from the deliberations of tbe convention, and bring in all good. Mr Taubeneck s 10 to 1 gavH again de scended upon the conclusion of the prayer. There was some surprise when the chairman introduced Governor Stone, of Missouri, but wlntever apprvlien sion might have been raised was speed lly removed by the announcement that the Governor was merely expected to make a welcoming addrtss. Mr. Stone did not sneak at great length. His welcome was most cordial, and was couched in choice words. He ventured upon a few remarks of the propriety of the freedom of tbe press and speech, and of the ballot, which must, be said amid applause, be preserved at all hazards. Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, responded to Governor Stone's speech, Mr a eloquently describing the majestic Mississippi and the vast country trib utary to it. The movement which this convention represented, he said, was a growth of the farm, it bad been con reived in the distress that prevailed among ine producers of the country lhe people had felt the ellects of mis government. In introducing Senator Butler Mr. Taubeneck said that Mr. Butler bad been selected by the National Commit tee without a dissenting vote, and be added his belief tbat when tbe conven tion adjourned it would be found that tbe platform 4opt4 at Cbieafo. aad Bryan would not mil any aaorw ebaac of beiag Dominated I baa Tboma Jefferaoa woeld if tw wr allvc today."

Should it be said tbat tbi band of patriot wbo had broken all party tie bad allowed tbrm.vrlve to be control! ed more ty prejudice than by patriot ism?

He appealed for a cessation of petty prejudice, lie bad beard it inlioia ted by one tbat Mark Hanna was run Ding tbe party and by another tbat tbe Democratic party was doing it.

Mine danger, aid be. is a great as tbe other. It ui And tbe truth in tbe middle way. Tbi was the keynote of t'te Senator' speech. Tbe party, be continued, uouid be true to itself. "If this convention CUA1R- I does not follow its own teaching it i unworthy to represeut its own peo P,e- . ... Ibis convention has not been crumb ed by either of tbe old parties and w ill not be stampeded. Our duty i to ap prove what is right and condemn what is wrong." I am telling you wbat you will nnd out when you get borne," he went on. "I bave been down among tbe coat less farmers of my State, and I know wbat I say is true when 1 tell you tbat they expect us to rise to the level of patriot ism and there travel in the path oi conscience, if you waver from your position of principle, then you become no better than tbe old parties." It was tbe duty of all Populists to stand by wbat they bad taught in tbe past. It bad taugbt tbat principle should be put above party. He believed tbe con vention was going to do wbat was wisest, and added: "It is going to stand together; it is not going to split." Concluding, lie said: "We shall stand together, go away united, strip our coats off for the fray, and be pre pared ror any emergency, however great. Kemember tbat you are Peoples Party men ; remember that you have accomplished more in four years than the other parties, and remember tbat if you do your duty now you will very soon be the party of the majority."
