Mr. ("annon. it Is betel ved, will advise
the president to insist only upon the legi:-
latlon for the Cubans and not to confuse
the financial legislation with It and thus
enable the opposition party to make
effective fight against either. The Ideas
of the president and the republican lead

plan at this time t« appoint and announce
only the ways and means and rules com-

DISCUSS THE CONDITIONS
Come to the Conclusion That
the Country Is Going to
the Dogs and Its Only
Salvation Is With
"Reformers."
Denver, July 28.—The conference of
populiat leaders which baa been in ses-
sion the past two days, adjourned sine
die this evening. The resolutions com-
mittee reported an address to the pub-
lie which was adopted, declaring that
all differences between the two factions
of the party have been settled. It is
expected that the two national commit-
tees which meet here tomorrow will
ratify this action. The committee ap-
pointed to select the members of a
comlttee of one from each state on
organization work, in connection with
the national committees was unable to
complete Its work, and it was, by res-
olution, empowered to complete tho
committee at its leisure. The gentle-
men to whom this Important work
is delegated are J. A. Edgerton of Col-
orado; Milton Park of Texas, J. H.
Calderhead of Montana and C. Q. De
France of Nebraska. They are to be
members of the larger committee when
it la completed.
At the afternoon session the follow-
ing address wa« reported by the com-
mittee on resolutions and was adopted:
"The manifest political unrest which
everywhere appears in the nation dem-
onstrates the dissatisfaction of the
American people with the present man-
agement of government and argues the
necessity of the reform forces coming
together in united action at the bal-
lot bax to obtain proper legislation
whereby the right of the people to self
government may be had for themselves
and their posterity.
"Therefore, we, the populists of the
United States having this day at the
city of Denver, Colorado, united our
forces, with tho distinct understanding
tfrit all past differences as to policy
shall be and are now permanently set
tied, and experiences having demon
strated the futility of any attempt to
secure the enactment of our principles
through either the republican or dem-
ocratic parties, we believe the time is
now at hand when the united peoples
party should declare Itself emphatically
opposed to any affiliation with either
of those parties and unqualifiedly in
favor of Independent national political
action.
"Our fundamental principles are
known of all populists and are nowhere
better stated than in that immortal
doc 11 mint enunciated at Omaha, July
4, 1898. However, for the benefit of
the uninformed our unyielding adher-
ence to the demands fur

gold, silver or paper, to be coined and

ed by the public and opernted by gov-
ernment at the cost of service:
(c), Land for use rather than for
speculation and abolition of alien own-
ershop of lands;
(O. American ships for American
foreign commerce, without a cent of

"And as an open door for all econ-
omic reforms, we urge the rule of the
people through the optional referen
dum and Initiative and the recall of
derelict officials.
"Confident In fhe Justice of the prin-
ciples herein set forth, firmly convinc-
ed that their triumph In government
would be for the best Interests of all
the people, we call upon the patriotic

Two camps Into which the sacred col-
