BARKER Jt DONNELLY NOMI-
NATED.
The Peoples Party national conven-
tion met in the city of Cincinnati on
May 9lh with strong delegations repre-
senting nearly every state in the Union.
The large opera house was crowded
noBtof the time during the session.
There was no lack of enthusiasm in the
meeting and every delegate seemed to
be glad that the party had escaped
with its life from the murderous clutch
of the lusionists. Fx-Congressman
Howard of Alabama, presided as tem-
porary chairman and William Peck of
Georgia, presided «s the permanent
chairman of the oonvention. Okla-
homa was honored with the temporary
and permanent secretaryship of the
convention. There was very little
trouble over credentials and the plat-
form as reported by the committee on
platform, after being amended by the
adoption of plank seveu was adopted as
reported by the committee, The plat-
form adopted is as follows:
1HK PLATFORM.
BARKER AND DONNELLY.
Yes, the Peoples party will have
a presidential ticket made up of
Populists, for which Populists will
vote in November next. Thus has
success crowned the efforts of those
brave men who in '98 set to work
to preserve the People party as a
living political entity and to pre-
serve to it a chance to nominate a
ticket in loyal harmony with its
principles. All the shady devices
of enemies without and traitors
within have come to naught—God
reigns and the people are not yet
sold and delivered.
Of the personalty of the Populist
ticket it is scarcely necessary to
speak, for Wharton Barker in the
east and Ignatius Donnelly in the
west were already distinguished men
when Bryan and Towne were still
knickerbockers. Mr. Barker
comes of old Quaker anti-slavery
stock and until during Mr. Cleve-
land's last term was a prominent
and distinguished Republican—so
prominent in fact that his name was
favorably considered for a position
in President Garfield's cabinet. But
he was never a party at-any-priee
man, and he took part in more than
one effort to smash the Quay ma-
chine in Pennsylvania. At one time
he was interested in extensive busi-
ness enterprises extending to for-
eign lands, and his construction of
railways in Russia was work so well
done that the Emperor Alexander
II, as a mark of personal admira-
tion and friendship, bestowed on
him a decoration. The Barker
Brothers banking house, an old and
Strong institution, was carried down
in the great failure of Baring Bros.,
of London in '92, through no fault
of the former. It may be well to
remember this when you hear the
sneer that "the Pops have nomi-
nated a busted banker for presi-
dent." Since '96 Mr. Barker has
been doing noble work—and power-
fully effective work—for the cause
of populism through his weekly
journal, The American.
Ignatius Donnelly has been out
of the old party shackles for nearly
thirty years—ever since the remark-
able "granger" upheaval in '74. At
that time he was a Republican con-
gressman from Minnesota, but his
outspoken anti monopoly attitude
was unsatisfactory to the dollar
ocracy so he was dropped for some-
body more pliable, and, necessarily,
with less principle. Prominent as
he is politically, Mr. Donnelly is
even more widely known as a liter-
ary man, for as a writer of books
and s a Shakesperian critic, his
name is as familiar in Europe as it
is at home. One of the finest state
ments of the rights of man ever
penned is in the preamble to the
Omaha platform and Mr. Donnelly
was its author.
Whatever size the vote cast for
Barker and Donnelly may be, every
single ballot cast for them will be a ! of Philadelphia whs presented by Gen

ters and the candidates propose
make their presence known and felt in
all the states of the Union. Mr. Barker
feels confident that three million voted
will be east for the Peoples Party tick-
et in this campaign and also says that
the reform forces have rnore reason to
hope for victory this fall than the fol-
lowers of "Honest Abe" had in 1860,
and Mr. Barker was one of the 1860 re-
formers that helped to elect Abraham
Lincoln. In 1880 outside of Grant.
Sherman and Blaine he was the most
prominent man mentioned for the lie
publican presidential nomination prior
to the convention.
The people'* party of the United State* a Hem
bled In national convention, thin 10th (lay of
May, 1900 affirming our unshaken bellel In the
cardinal tenets of the people's party, as et
forth In the Omaha platform and pledging
ourselves anew to continued advocacy of those
grand principles of human liberty until the

atlon of faith:
l_We demand the Initiative and referen
duui and Imperative mandate for such changew
as the existing fuml-trnental aud statute law
as will enable the people in their sovereign
capacity to propose and compel the enact-
ment of such laws as they desire; to reject
such as they deem Injurious to their Interest*
and to recall unfaithful public servants.
2—We demand the public ownership and
operation of those means of communication,
transportation and production which the peo-
ple may elect, such as railroads, telegraphs
and telephone lines, coal, mines, etc.
3—The land Including all sources of natural
wealth is a heritage of the people and should
not be monopolized for speculative purposes
and allen ownership of land should be pro
hibtted. All land now held by railroads and
other corporations In excess of their actual
needs and all lands now owned by aliens
should be re claimed by the government and
hold for actual settlers only.
4—A scientific and absolute paper money,
based upon the entire wealth and population
of the nation, not redeemable in any specific
commodity, but made a full legal tender for
all debts and receivable for all taxes and
public due9 and Issued by the government
only without the Intervention of banks and

be devised; but until such a financial system
Is secured which we Mhall press for adoption,
we favor the free and unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver at the legal ratio of 16 to 1.
5—We demand the levy and collection o'
u graduated tax on Incomes and Inheritances
and a constitutional amendment to secure the
same If necessary.
0—We demand the election of president,
vlee-pn-sldent, federal Judges ami United
States senators by direct vote of the people.
7—We are opposed to trusts and declare
the contention between the old parties on
the monopoly question Is a shum battle, and
that no solution of this miglity problem Is
possible without the adoption of the princi-
ples of public ownership of public utilities.
Nominations for president were then
called for and Prof. J. A. Boyce of Neb-
raska, presented the name of Hon. W.
M. Howard of Alabama. Hon. C. C.
Williams of Indiana presented the name
of Hon. Ignatius Donnelly of Minnesota
and the name of Hon Wharton Barker

FREE HOMES.
The long contested Free Homes
measure, which passed the house of
representatives a short time ago,
passed the senate Monday afternoon,
and now awaits the president's signa-
ture.
The president will, undoubtedly,
sign the bill. In conversation with
some democrats and active fusionists
found them trying to extract some
joy out of the passage of this measure
in a political way. They are trying
hard to make themselves believe that
the passage of the measure will re-
move the free homes question from
the political field in this territory in
the future. The democratic party,
at one time had an opportunity to
pass the free home bill, but true to
its traditions it failed. The republi-
can party also failed many times to
pass this measure but has succeeded
in at last passing the bill and though
long delayed that party in this terri-
tory must now reap the fruits of the
passage of the measure and the dem-
ocrats stand the brunt of the demo-
cratic party's failure to pass the bill
and this blow puts that party and its
allies in this territory quietly to
sleep and throws the sod in on top of
them and the Angel Gabriel will have
to give a second blast on his horn to
awaken them on resurrection day.
Flynn has sent the ball clear over
the fence and the democratic party
will never field it in this territory
again. They may linger around in the
long grass for a time hunting for it
while Flynn is running the bases.
The democratic party nationally and
territorially is dead and if its funeral
had been held 30 years ago the coun
try would have been better off today
for it has only stood as a stumbling
block in the pathway of a progressive
civilization for at least that length
of time and only served as a tool to
deceive and keep the people divided
who oppose the governmental policy
pursued in this country since Lin-
coln's assassination.
