tho delegates to tho Populist convention
wcro In thoir sor.ts at 10 o'clock yostortkiy
forenoon whon tho nuisslvo form of Sen
ator Allon, tho pormanont chairman, np
IMNtred on tho platform. Four minutes
later ho cnllod tho convontlon to order,
and tho delegates roso nnd stood with
bound heads whllo Ilov. Wilbur G. Will
iams, of tho Union Methodist church of
this city, Invoked tho dlvlno blessing.
Among those on tho platform wcro ox
Govornor Wulto, Sonator I'elTer of Kan
sas, Genornl Flold of Virginia, National
Committeeman Ilrnnch of Georgia, nnd
Mrs. Holon Gougurof Indluna.
Aaron Noo, an Ohio dologato, prosontod
tho chairman with a guvol contnlnlng six
teen ouncos of silver and ono ounco of
gold. Tho wood of tho handlo was of hick
ory. After this presentation a novel lnci
dont occurred. Captain G. A. Lloyd, of
Hochollo, N. Y., nnd Mrs. Ponnington,
"tho sweot singer of Arkansas," marcliud
Into tho hall dressed In tho costumes of
Undo Sam and Columbia. Captain Lloyd
wore tho red, white and blue spiko tailed
coat and tho tall hat of Uncle Sam, whllo
sho was arrayed in tho stars and stripes and
wore tho shield and turlinn of tho Ameri
can goddess. They mndo thoir way to tho
platform umld cheers and faced tho dele
gates, whllo Mrs. Ponnington sang a Pop
ulist campaign song. Jerry Simpson
mounted a chair and prototed against
fritterlngnway the time of tho convention.
Senator Hutlor, of North Carolina,
moved that tho natlonnl committee select
Its own chairman Instead of tho nominee
doing It, and his motion was carried with
out division.
It was not until tho action relating to
tho order In which presidential and vico
presldontlal candidates should be nomi
nated that tho convention wound up. Tho
TIIOMAS E. WATSOV.
rogular order of business was called for
and this was tho reading of tho minutes,
report of tho commlttco on rules. Itrec
ommendod nchungo in the order of mak
ing nominations, so as to mako the nomi
nation of vice-president beforo that of
president. This was a move of tho"middlo
of tho road" mon. Tho plain purpoo of
tho stralghtouts was to test Sowull's
strength. Tho proiositlon would show
tho oxtromo high water strength of tho
nntl-Hrynn men. Delegate McGrath, of
Illinois, promptly moved to lay tho minor
ity report on tho table. This was defeated,
and after a long argument tho minority
report was adopted by a voto of 785 to 1115.
Goneral J. II. Weaver, chairman of tho
committoo on resolutions, was then, at
0 :05 p. m., rocognlzod to rend tho platform
as agrood to by tho committee. Ho was
received with applause. Ho prefaced tho
roading by saying that tho commlttco had
had a protracted mooting, and that whllo
Its proceedings had boon harmonious,
there was not ontlro unanimity, asMossrs.
Kearby, of Toxas, and Coxey, of Ohio,
would both offer minority reports.
Tho enunciation of tho different planks
of tho platform was recolvod with slight
applause, which would ovldontly hnvo
boen greater, but for thofnet that General
Weaver declared that ho would not pro
ceed until there was sllonco. Tho applauso
was especially marked, notwithstanding
Mr. Weaver's frown upon tho pronounce
ment for freo colnago of sllvor, against In
terest boarlng bonds and tho denunciation
of that position of tho present administra
tion on tho bond question. Tho Income
tax provision was also sharply applauded,
as was almost every soutenco of the trans
portation plunk.
At tho conclusion of tho reading of tho
majority roport Mr. J. S. Coxey, of Ohio,
was recognized to road his minority ro
port, rocommunding tho Issuance of non
lnterost boaring bonds for tho Improve
ment of tho roads of tho country.
Tho majority report wus adopted with
out division.
Mr. Kearby, of Toxas, was then Intro
duced to read his minority report. Ho said
that ho objected to tho majority report bo
causo It was too prolix and liecauso It was
too nonr akin to tho Democratic platform.
Mr. Kearby's voice did not prove equal to
tho occasion, and Sonator Allen was called
upon to road tho roport for him.
At 4:20 It was moved to proceed to tho
nomination of a vlco presidential candi
date. Many of tho delogates Insisted on
adjournment until T o'clock, and there
was much confusion on tho lloor. Colonel
Bowman proceeded to nominate a candi
date, but boforo ho had proceodod far tho
convontlon adjourned until 0 o'clock.

ELECTION OF TRUANT OFFICER.
It is Not Mandatory Upon School Boards to
Elect Such an Offlccr, But They Can
Uso Discretionary Powers. Tho
First Meeting in August.
With the opening of the schools next
month tlio compulsory education law will go
into elfect in this county, lly tho provisions
of tho law children between the ages of S aud
13 years must attend school at least sixtien
weeks of tho year, unless excused by the
board of the district in which they live, and
only then In cases of mental or physical or
urgent reasons. For every neglect of duty
the person in parental relation shall bo guilty
of a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction
Ik) lined $10 for the first unease, and $5 for
each subsequent elfense.
The enumeration lists for tlio sevcml town
ships have been forwarded to their respective
precincts and for eacli tchool a list will bo
provided the teacher at the opening of the
school term. In this town tho enumcnition
lists have been handed tho secretary of tlio
School Hoard, who in turn will supply each
teacher with a list of tlio children's names in
such school district.
The returns from tho several ward as
sessors, as reported to the County Commis
sioners, of children who are required to go to
school, under the provisions of the law, aroas
follows :
First ward, 310 children; Second ward,
207; Third ward, 205; Fourth ward, 272;
Fifth ward, 2sn ; Total, 1,310.
Uio election of a truant otliier by the
School Hoard, at a salary of 92.00 per day.
will be necessary if the provisions of tho law
in compelling children to attend school is to
Ik) rigidly enforced. The section of the law
bearing uiuiii tlio duties of tills olllcer are as
follows :
Hixtiov.1 H d elllil net-essirv for tlio hot
ter enforcement of the provisions nf this net,
hoards of school illreitors or school inntrollers
in cities, liormigos and townsliJim. may elnnlov
one or more persons to he known as utteiiitaut
otllcers, whose duty It shall he to look after, iq
pruneiiM nnu place la such schools as the person
la parental relation may designate, truants and
others who fail to attend school in lucordaiK
Willi the provl-tons ol tins act. the persons
appointed suen aiu-noame oiiuors shall l.e en-
titled to suen compensation, not evccedliur twi
dollars a day, as shall he fixed hy the boards nii
poititing them, and such compensation may he
paid out of the school fund; hoards of school
directors or controllers may H apatt school
rooms In puhlie school huildings for children
who nre lintmual truants, or who are 1nuhordl
nato or uiorderly during tlieirnttendance upon
instruction in me punuc tcnoois.
Tho election of x truant otlicer is not man
datory, according to the opinion of Charles
M. Flank, Solicitor of the Heading School
Hoard, hut it is held hy many that such an
oilicer should lie elected whenover tho seating
capacity of the schools will warrant tlio in
creased attendance. Tlio returns of tho as
sessors in this town show that tho attendance
will be increased over 1300 by tlio new law
It is likely the lioard will elect a truant
otlicer at its llrst meeting in August when the
election of new teachers will bike place.
