WON BY GEN. WEAVER HE HEADS THE PEOPLE’S PARTY TICKET. FIELD IN SECOND PLACE THE NOMINATIONS ARE MADE UNANIMOUS. Work of the Convention in Detail-Great Enthusiasm Displayed Over the Platform anti at An Stages of the Interesting Proceedings. Saturday’s Sessions. Omaha snecial; The National Convention of the People’s Tndependtnt party met in the Coliseum Building in this city. The hall in which the convention was held seats about twelve thousand persons and in appearance resembles the Minneapolis Tail. As the hall began to Ulla notable feature was the presence of many worn n delegates. Chairman Taubene k, o. the National Executive Committee, came upon the platform shortly after 10:30 and entered into consultaC m / f Wr JAMES 11. WEAVER. tion with other leaders. By 11 o’clock the part of the hall allotted to delegates was fairly well filled, most of the 1,776 delegates being present, but in much confusion. The general remark was that it was a tine-looking body of men. Strong and striking physiognomies were numerous. Chaplain Diffenbacher, of the Nebraska house of representatives, a somewhat notable cbarac'er in the independent politics of Nebraska, took a seat upon the platform about 11 o’clock, an 1 so did George P. Bemis, mayor of Omaha. The newspaper men were well provided for on the right and left of the speakers’ stand. Chairman Taubemck called the convention to order at 11:05 o’clock. It required ten n inutes to produce order and Sergeant-at-arms L. A. Beltzer’s loud voice Was ii’ecessary to make Mr. Taubeneck’s gav^l effective. The Chairman at once introduced Chaplain Diffenbacher, who tnade the opening prayer in a sjrcng, full voice,,'readily heard in ali parts of the hail. When the Chairman introduced Mayor Bemis-, of Omaha, to welcome the deleaa'es, he was received with hearty cheers, anl his speech was frequently interrupted by loud applause. At. the conclusion of the address the convention gave .three tremendous chaeis f r Ihe Mayor., of Texas. intro- |

“ thin« CTOW^ . ... •' H.e- did 5J statement of Mayor ' Beads that dear gold meant cheap men, Terr.ll was greeted with cheers, whh h were only exceede Iwhen he pledged the South to vote the People’s party ticket, no matter who the nominee, as long as he stood squarely upon the St. Louis p’atform. His declaration that the new party had wiped out- sectional sm and united the blue and the gfay as no other party could was met with applause which snook the budding. As an ex-Confed-i erate soldier he declared that the new party made him feel as much at home in Nebraska as in Texas. Chairman Taubeneck then introduced as Temporary Chairman C. H. Ellington, of Georgia, and surrendered the gavel to him. J. AV. Hayes, of New Jersey, was made Temporary Secretary, with C. P. Ca-penter, of Minnesota, and Jesse Poundstone, of California, assistants. Mr. Ellington proceeded to deliver a heavy address which w.s well r< ceived. When the Temporary Chairman referred to the death of the late President Polk, of the Alliance, he did so feelingly, and a somewhat dramatic scene occurred, his remarks being interrupted by bringing upon the stage a large portrait of Polk. At the conclusion of the speech “Sister Todd,” of Illinois, was introduced and received with loud cheers. She came forward and presented to the convention a gavel carved by Mrs. Ten S. Terrell from the w od of a tree planted by Washington and grown at Mount Vernon. Sister Todd delivered a ringing address in a clear, strong voice that penetrated all parts of the hall and aroused the great audience to a high pitch of en hus'asm. Clad in black, wearing a black hat and gesticulating vigorously with the black gavel, the gentle orator presented a striking figure. Tho Credentials Committee was direeted to meet, and a committee of one Irom each State on permanent organization and one from each State on rules was appointed. The convention at once proceeded to call of the States for committees. At one o’clock the convention took a recess for one hour. When the convention reassembled the committees were not ready to report, and the delegates were entertained by several quartette clubs, who sang selections bearing on the political issues as understood by the People’s party. Some of the songs' were very pertinent and had catching refrains. One pro Taimed “that they were very lucky because they had the tariff yet, ’ a statement which called forth loud applause. During the lull Cha rman Ellington read an in'eresting message of good cheer irom Washington, signed by Ihe sympathizer of the People's party in < ongr< ss. As the committees were stiil at work ihe convention settle I down into a goodnatured mass meeting and was addressed by Ignatius Donnelly and others. Mr. Do n -dy made the most inte: esting speech of the afternoon. He was humorous and sarcastic by turns and scored several goo i points. He was followed by H. Jason, a half-breed Indian who is practicing law in Chicago, a id wao mace a strong speech in support of*the new movement. Jaxon si oxe fluently and well. The ComnVt'.oe on Credentials sub-

mitted a report and the convention then adjourned to meet again at 8 o’clock Monday morning. Monday’s Meeting. In accordance 'with the early training of nine-tenths of the delegates, they were in their places early Monday morning, and Temporary Chairman Ellington, sharply on the minute called the convention to order and introduced the Bev. W. McCready, who offered prayer. Sergeants-at-arms were appointed to control over-enthusiastic delegates in each State and the Committee on Permanent Organization announced for permanent Chairman 11. L. Loucks of South Dakota; for permanent Secretary, J. W Hayes, New Jersey; for Assistant Secretaries, S. S. King of Kansas, George Wilson of Michigan, G. NV. Denmark of South Dakota. Following this was also a long list of Vice Chairmen, each State being represented in the distribution of this honor. The r. po.t was unanimously adopted. It was a picturesque spectacle when Permanent Ch airman Loucks, standing firmly on his one leg and swinging a crutch at arm’s length, waved the great assemblage to order. His speech as it. progressed was a surprise, and elicited cheers at every few words. A new gavel, announced as coming by permission of the owner from timber on the first homestead entry in the United States, was at this moment presented to the Chairman. He rapped it vigorously

on the desk amid laughter caused by a declaration that this gavel, unlike the one used at a recent national convention, bad not been stolen, and that the Independent Party did not require to steal either its thunder or its noise. Gen. William J. Armstrong, Inspector General of Consuls under Grant, and Mrs. Emery, of Michigan, each made speeches of considerable length. The Committee on Bules reported the new-fangled method of voting for first and second choic s, tut the delegates fell upon it almost to a man. Vandervoort of Nebraska finally moved that the convention be allowed to vote for any man it chose so long as he remained a candidate. It was seconded and carried. A recess of twenty minutes was taken to allow the delegates to inspect the (’maha I ■ irth of July parade, but it was nearly an hour before the convention again took up its work. The members of the new National Committee were sent to the stand, and while they were being arranged Chairman Branch threw the first bombshell into the convention by referring in a resolu ion to the slight put upon the Western delegates by the Union Pacific Kailroad Delegate Cannon wanted a

hearing on this question and got it. He ' referred to the treatment accorded the < delegates to other conventions, and i brought the eonvhntion t^ its feet w.th 1 a wild cheer when he reached h ; s pero- i ; ration. Dean of New York grasped the matter. Th re was an interstate commission, and he moved that it b > brought before that organization to see whether the law permitted railroads to discriminate in favor of one national political convention against another. The mo- { tion to n rake co nplaint to. the commis- i sion was carried. The Committee on Resolutions was : still wrestling with the platform, and ; o.i a statement that it would be two hours before it could report a recess until 2 p. m. was taken. It was 2:97 o'clock when Chairman Loucks called the convention to order, butitwes after 3 p. m. before all the delegates an I vis tors had secured seats and thd raps of the Chairman had resulted in a beginning of business. The immense hall was almost completely filled. It was very sultry and fully a. third of the delegates were n shirt sleeves. The first business was the adoption of a motion that the Resolutions Committee report. The committee filed on the stage with a platform. Thomas V. Cator of California lead the preamble of the unanimous report of the Resolutions Committee on the platform adopted. Cator moved the adoption of the preamble, and it was adopted by a unanimous uprising of delegates and tumultuous applause. At once on the adoption of the platform the convention broke over all restraint ami went wild. 1 The whole convention, audience and delegates, rose to 1 heir feet with ; 1 stirring enthusiasm in a demonstration 1 | lasting twenty minutes. It began by I I the convention rising in their chairs, : । cheering, swinging coats, which had i i been taken o T on account of the heat, I waving hats and fans, and throwing ' things in the air. Several delegates j seized Branch, of Georgia, Chairman, ■ and trotted him up and down the main ! aisle on their shoulders. A number of , ; delegates seized the uprights used to ; hold placards designating State delega- ' tions, and jushed with th m to the plat- ; form. Banners were also borne there. Shout succeeded shout, while eccentric ! devices were used to prolong the dem- । onstration. I Suddenly Taubeneck of Illinois sprang upon a chair and wildly waved a telegram above his head. It dawned upon • the delegates that it might be from ; Gresham and an uproar ensued. The ; telegram was from Dr. Hauser of Indiana and was to the effect that Gresham would accept if nominated unanimously, • । The effect of this telegram was elec- > j trical. Thousands of people sprang in- , s an ly to their feet and thousands of voices cheered again and again for

Gresham. There seemed no doubt *p among those wildly cheering enthusli® were a majority of the delegates, wh« er their enthusiasm was an evidence their enthusiasm for Gresham or notq Mr. Brown of Massachusetts warß special privileges to none given by I convention. Any one would take I nomination if it were tendered uni mously. He assailed the galleries ■ three Gresham cheers, and a sceneß wild confusion followed. Vandervoort of Nebraska moved top journ after the nominating speeches I til 8 o’clock, and mke I that the new natirg speeches be po tponed until evening session. By unanimous cons the motion to adjo irn preva lo l. On the op miug of the evening sess the r solutions committee reportoi supplement to the platform, after wl the following telegram, which had j been received from Judge Gresham, a read: | Chicago, 111., July I J.

The AVe. v r infection set med to spread and as S ate after State east its vote the AVeavcr people grew wildly enthusiastic, culmination coning when the result was announced, the cheering being loud and con'inued. The first ballot resulted: AVeaver, 995; Ky1e,265; Horton, 1; Eage, 1; Stanford, 1. Noiton of Illinois moved to make tho nomination unanimous, and it was car’pSTey temporary chairman eulington.

' ried with a cheer. A roll call of States ■ was at once ordered on vice-president. There wt re but two nominations for vice-president,Ben Terrell of Texas and , Gen. J. G. Field of Virginia. Gen. ! Field was cho en on the first ballot. ! Ix Devonshire, England, one dayre- ! cently, a party of young people were . overtaken by a heavy shower of haiistones, which lasted about ten minutes, and during that time they felt as though ; highly charged with electricity. “The > ladies of the party,” says a correspond- ; ent, “felt as though ants were running I I among their hair, which was fastened by ! steel hairpins. One of the gentlemen I held his hand to the head of one of the . others, and at once the hair stood on end. I This was done several times with the ! same result, and for two or three days afterward their heads felt the effect o! I the electrical whipping.” A Berlin physician has prepared an apparatus for the convenient inhalation i of ozone by patients for whom this treat- ' ment is prescribed. It consists of an ebonite tube, in whh h are two metallie points connected w.th a high tension ( electric current.

First— That the union of the labor forces of ; the I nited States this day consummated shall । be permanent and perpetual—may its spirit I enter into all hearts for the salvation ot the ' republic and the uplifting of mankind. Second —Wealth belongs to him wno creates : it, and every dollar taken from industry with- ; out an equivalent, is robbery. 'if any will not I work, neither shall he eat.” The interests of ! rural and civic labor are the same; their ene- ■ mies are identical. Third—We believe that the time has come when the railroad corporations will either own I the people or the people must own the railroads, and should the Government enter upon the work of owning and managing all railroads we should favor an amendment to tiie Constitution by which all persons engaged in the Government service shall be placed under a civil-service regulation of the most rigid character so as to prevent the increase of the power ot the national administration by the use of such additional Government employes. We demand a national currency, safe, sound and flexible, issued by the General Government only, a full legal-tender for all debts, public and private, and that, without the use of banking corporations, a just, equitable and efficient means ot distribution direct to the people, at a tax r?ot to exceed 2 per cent, per annum, be provided as set forth in the Subtreasury plan of the Farmers’ Alliance, or a better system; also by payments in discharge of its obligations for public improvements. 1. We demand free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1. 2. We demand that the amount of circulation medium be speedily increased to not less than SSO per capita. 3. We demand a graduated income t ax.

a. we uemana a griuiuaaeu income rax. 4. We believe that the money of the country should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all State and national revenues shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the Government, economically and honestly administered. 5. We demand that postal savings banks be established by the Government for the safe deposit of the earnings of the people and to facilitate exchange. Transportation being a means of exchange and a public necessity, the Government should own and operate the railroads in the interest of the people. The telegraph and telephone, like the post-

office system, being a necessity for the transmission of news, should lie owned and operated by the Government in the interest of the > people. The land, including all the natural sources of wealth, is the heritage of the people and ' should not be monopolized for speculative purposes, and alien ownership of land should be prohibited. All land now held by railroads and other corporations in excess of their actual needs, and all lands now owned by aliens, should be reclaimed by the Government and held for actual settlers only. The “snapping bugs” of Cuba furnish th' cheapest light. These, insects are beetles two inches long, and derive their name fr. m the fact that when one is laid on its back it snaps its wings until it is enabled to bound into the air. On ea di side of the insect’s thorax is a luminous membra-eno is spot, and these flash at intervals, so that the Cubans put a dozen of the insects into a cage together, and so obtain a continuous illumination ) right enough to read by. Three removes are as bad as a fire.

and each delegation announced the members it had selected for representation on the committees, after which the convention adjourned until four o’clock in the afternoon. The attendance, though not as large at the SMBond session as at the earlier one, was over 6,090. The exercises were opened with prayer by the Kev. Father Mahoney, of St. Paul, Minn. It was decided on motion that all former nominees of the National Prohibition party be invited to seats on the platform. This was carried amid applause. It was shown that both Ju Ige Black and the Kev. John Russell, the nominees lor 1872, were present. H. A. Thompson, the Vice Presidential nominee in 1880 with Neal Dow, was present..
