POPULIST PLANS.

A Great Convocation at Indian* apolis, May 23. An Old-Fashioned Campmeeting to B« Held—so.ooo People Expected to Come In Wagonk, The Populists are expecting a great time at Indianapolis, May 23, the time set for all good Populists to meet there and consider the trials and tribulations that beset our country. The call has met with a quick response, and the leaders now state that there will be 50.033 people in the city. Just what they expect to accomplish more than ‘’an awakening of the people” is not known, although it i 3 confidently stated that the result will be apparent. The sight of wagons laden with people making for the State capital is anticipated to arouse an interest in Populist ideas and a grand demonstration there, with speechmaking included, is expected to bring the workingmen to “a realization of their condition.” A letter from Frankfort states that Clinton county will send over seventy-five wagons and as many as 503 people. Howard county promises to send 1,003 people, and twenty wagons have already been engaged In Madison county. The army of Populists will probably establish a camp on the banks of Fall creek or at the Fair-grounds, provided the latter can be engaged. Congressmen Pence, the Colorado Populist, will probably be tho speaker of the occasion.
