That we urze united action of all .progressive organlzations in attending the conference called for Feb. 22, 1892, by six of the leading reform organizations. 4. That a national central committee be { appointed by this conference, t» be comi posed of a chairman to be elected by this ! body and of three members from each State lr(-grmmx(vd. to be named by each State delegation. _ 5. That this central committee shall represent this body, attend the n:utonal conference on Feb. 22, 1892, and, if possible, unite with that and all other reform orzanizations there as<embled. If no satisfactory arrangement can be effected this committee shall call a national convention not later than June 1, 1802, for the purpese of nominating candidates for President and Vice President. 6. That the memters of the central com- ’ mittee for each State where there is no independent political organization conduct an i active system of political agitation in their respective States. The platform was adopted by a rising vote. and the roli of States was called for members of the National Committee, the convention adopting the innovation ) of appointing three members from each | State instead of one member as the old | parties have. = The Alliance Congressman, J. G. Otis, of Kansas, nominated H. E. Taubeneck, of Ilinois, ns Chairman of the National Executive Committee. There was a great outburst of cheers when Taubeneck's name was mentiondd. W. R Lamb. of Texas, scconded the nominat'on, saying he had watched Taubeneclk's record and was satisfiel. Taubeneck t was chosen by acclamation. Loud calls for Taubeneck finally brought that gen- 1 i to the rostrum, where he made a brief | but very manly and modest speech, thaaking the delegates. lHe said: “Gentiemen, you see before you all ghat is left of the celebrated independent party in the Tllinci: Legislature so often { called the *big three’.” He added that whiie fe sincerely appreciated the honor the convention had conferred upon him. he scarcely fe't equal to doing the posii tion of Nationa! Chairman justice, but he wonld do the best he could and would rely upon the assistance of the other members of the committee. The following is the National Committce as appointed: ! Arkansas—l. P.

R _A few moments of confused preparation for adjournment sine die ensued, then the Chairman’s gavel fell, and the first convention of the People’s Party of %9}7 I'nited States had passed into hise SCENES AND INCIDENTS. Possibly the picture that will be long—=& est remembered by those who witnessed it will be the unequaled display of enthusiasm by the big gatbering at the joining of the blue and the gray with the black, in the person of an ex-Union , soldier, a Texan ex-rebel, and the leader of the Colored Farmers’ Alliance. The significance of the incident was little if any marred by the fact that the third of the trio was of pure Caucasian blood. An appeal was made from the platform for funds to pay the fare home of a colored Alliance delegate from South Carolina. The delegate, Savage by nam®, came forward personally, and in a really clever speech, said the reason so few of the colored organizations wecre represented was that the colored pcople were too poor. It was perhaps as well for the convention, he added, naively, eyeing the hats that were being passed around for his benefit, that so few of the colored delegates came. He was handed the hatfuls of s!nall change and retired amid great cheering for the colored Alliance. A sensational feature of the proceedings followinz Donnelly’s announcement .came after the platform proper had been adopted. A California man was the individual that nearly rivaled the classic yvouth of ancient renown who fired the Ephesian dome. The Californian’s name was G. W. Miller, and he was a Prohibitionist from the summit of his steeply brushed hair to the very bottom of his boot heels. Apparently nothing on earth could disconcert that Californian. Over 1,000 thoroughly enraged and disguSted brawny grangers and mechanics turned on him as if they could tear him limb from limb, but he refused to budge an inch. He worked his jaws without ceasing, though every syliable he uttered was lost in the hurricane of jecrs and contumely. The Californian wanted to thrust before the donvention a resolution pledging the new jjarty to the prohibition cause. The convention emphatically did not want to submit to any such process. But it had to. The nerve and grit of one mmafiinst a .th.ousand ai- .

She has | them all arranged on the tables up-stairs ‘ in the corridor, and they make a glitter- { ing array of precious metals. The pres- { ents made to the President are also | among the display, and betwéen them all ! the number must certainly reach 400. On 1 one long table are arranged all the gold '| and silver souvenirs, Their valoe is . | great, and in size and variety they range |from the superb silver salver presented ! to Mrs. Harrison by the ladies of Sap | Francisco to a tiny bit of a silver baby | carriage, not much over an inch square, | but beautifully wrougit in filigree werk, | which was intrusted to the President to | present to his grandson, Benjamin M(~ | Kee. In Utah the President was given the freedom of the Territory in the pre- ! sentation of a siiver map of the Terri- { tory a foot s uare. In San Francisco | the invitation to the Palace Hatel ban- | quet was on a thiék go!d card, his menn ! card was another gold plate, and the { freedom of the city was ons a superbly wrought square of gold. .
