The convention was called to order
at 2 o'clock by Leo Vincent, chairman
of the territorial central committee. I
In stating the porpeses for which the I
convention was called Mr. Vincent
made a speech at great length. He 1
said:
Lamkb and Ukxti.kmkx of thk Co.v-
vkntion: In returning to you the of-
fice of chairman of your territorial een-'
tral committee, 1 feel that it is hut just
and proper thai I render an account of
the trust which has for two years past
rested in my hands.
On July 10th. 1804. there assembled
in the city of El Keno, a convention of
Populists, numbering something over
100 delegates the result of which was
to place Hon. Ralph Beaumont iu nom-
ination for your congressional stand-
ard bearer, with myself as the chair-
man of your executive committee. I p
to this time, owing to the fact that in
the previous campaigns there had been
more or less mixing of tickets, there
was not a scrap of data, as to votes
cast, from which to begin the work of
organization. It was fortunate, in-
deed, that your committee empowered
your chairman to till vacancies until a
complete working committee was se-
cured in every county. Using this au-
thority, and by frequent visits to the
statistics in the office of the Territorial
Secretary. I finally succeeded in estab-
lishing a base of operation. At this
time little or no organization existed
in the new strip and western counties
they having only just been settled
und had not registered a vote. By the
untiring assistance of numerous com-
mitteemen und other helpers in nearly
every county, and by the inordinary
campaigning ability of your candidate,
Mr. Beaumont, there was polled in the
fall <>f '04 a vote that was remarkable
and that even yet is little understood
uml startles the would-be politician
w hen he realizes the actual status of
affairs.
That all may understand and have
at hand the data from which to eulcu
late. J here append au official tabula-
tion of the congressional vote cast in
1802 and 1804. showing, in each case, the
per cent of gain in 1MI4 over the vote
of 1802:

the past two months there have been
numerous changes made iu the railway
postal clerks who run in an I out
of this city. A large number of old
clerks have been reduced in pay and
rank, and men with much 1 ss ex-
perience promoted over them. In-
asmuch as all clerks are under civil
service protection, and supposed
to be safe from political pull, the
matter bids fair to stir up a large sized
row. A delegation recently waited
upon United States Senator Co *krell,
of this state, who has taken the matter
before the department at Washington.

effects are due to the fact, that it 1 s the
