TO BE A THIRD TICKET.

flie People’s Party to Have a Candidate of Its Own. There will be a people's, or a third mrty, or an industrial Presidential ;lckot in the field in the coming campaign. This much may be set down as i fact. The nominating convention, will je held prior to the first week in June, when the representatives of the Bepub.ican party will assemble in national ;onvontlon in Minneapolis. The location of the gathering will be either Bt. Louis, Birmingham, Ala., or Atlanta, Ga. The Presidential timber will be oonInod to L. L. Polk of North Carolina, Congressman Tom Watson of Georgia, 5x- Congressman Featherson of Arkanms, Colonel B. M. Humphreys of Texas, and H. G. Tauboneck of Illinois. Tho jholce for Vice President will reßt between George F. Washbume of Massachusetts, Congressman John Davis of Kansas, and Marion Cannon of California. Present indications favor the somewhat euphonious ticket of “Tommy and George." Politics is mighty “onsartin,” but this is the barometer of the. delegates to the confederated industrial conference which assembled in formal session In the Exposition Building, says a dispatch from St. Louis. Fifteen hundred have arrived—enough to crowd the Hotel Richelieu and all the boarding houses for a quarter of a mile around —and five times that number are expected, according to the advance credentials that have been received. Delegate Washburne, of Boston, who was Secretary of the People’s Party Convention held in Cincinnati last February, says that the assemblage is the biggest industrial conference ever held Dn earth; that the delegates represent organizations with an actual member»hip of 7,000,000, and that a majority of he actual voters as the South are represented. , Appearances favor the claim. Certain It is, moreover, that all the political isms that have ever been given birth in the homo of the free and the land of the brave will have voice and utterance. The spokesmen of the single tax theorists, of the Grangers, of the Prohibitionists, the Greenbaokers, the bimetallists, the sub-treasuryites, the antis, the Knights of Labor, the anti-monopolists ind the woman suffragists are here in force. Frances Willard, acoompanied by Lady Henry Somerset, who simply looks >n with British eyes, was first on the leld. Following in her wake came A. J. Streeter, of Illinois, the People’s party jandldate for the presidency four year* »go; Jesse Harper, of the same State, who boasts of the honor of having »laced Abraham Lincoln in nomination; tgnatius Donnelly, of Minnesota; Gen. lames B.
