WEAVER AND FIELD.
THE PRESIDENTIAL TICKET NAMED
BY THE PEOPLE'S PARTY.
Judge Gresham Refused to Allow His
Name to Go Before the Convention as

Over the Platform Adopted.
OMAHA, July s.—General James B.
Woavor was nominated for president by
tho convention of the People's party, and
General James G. Field, of Virginia, was
nominated for the vice presidency. Judge
Gresham absolutely refused again to allow
bis name to be presented.
It was a day of high enthusiasm, sharp
contests and great excitement among the
delegates. Time
and again did the
situation change

conflicting emotions; and disciplined and
inexperienced in the affairs of national holi
days, the delegates stood the tests put upon
them remarkably well.
THE PROCEEDINGS.
A Scene of the Wildest Enthusiasm Over
the Platform.
OMAHA, July s.—The People's party con
vention settled down into a dead calm
when Cater, of California, was presented
and commenced to road the preamble and
platform. The enthusiasm increased ten
fold when the speaker read a declaration to
the effect that the time had come when the
railroads mußt run the people or the people
run the railroads, and it was a couple of
minutes before order could bo restored
sufficiently for the reader to proceed.
Branch, of Georgia, moved the adoption
of tho proamble, and it was adopted by a
rising vote, with more cheering. Cater now
gave way to Branch, who proceeded to road
the platform proper.
Cries of "Amen" and cheers greeted the
plank in favor of governmental control of
ull telegraph and telephone systems, and
were repeated when the reading was fin
ished. Then the entire preamble and plat
form were put to another vote and adopted
by acclamation, amid another scene of bois
terous enthusiasm.
The Platform.
Tho following is the platform, exclusive
of the preamble, which is a long argument
of the causes which led up to the formation
of the party: .
Wo declare, therefore-
First—That the union of the labor forces of
tho United States this day consummated shall
bo permanent and perpetual—may its spirit
enter into all hearts for the salvation of tho re
public and the uplifting of mankind.
Second—Wealth belongs to him who creates
it, and ovory dollar taken from industry
without an equivalent is robbery. "If any inan
will not work, neither shall he oat." The inter
ests of rural and civic labor are the same, their
enemies aro identical.
Third—Wo bolleve the time has come when
tho railroad corporations will either own the
people or the people must own tho railroads,
and should tho government enter upon the
work of owning and managing any or all
railroads, we should favor an amendment
to the constitution by which all persons
engaged in tho government service shall be
placed under a civil service regulation of the
most rigid character, so as to prevent the in
crease of tho power of the national adminis
tration by the use of such additional govern
ment employees.
Wo domand A national currency, safe, sound
and flexible, issued by the general government
only, a full legal tender for ull debts, public
and privato, and that without tho use of bank
ing corporations, u Just, equitable and offlciont
means of distribution, diroct to tho people, at
a tax not to excood 2 per cent, per annum, to
bo provided as set forth in tho subtreasury
plan of tho Farmers' Alliance, or some better
Bystem; also by payments in discharge of its
obligations for public improvements.
We demand froo and unlimited coinage of
silver and gold at the present legal ratir of 16
to 1.
We domand that tho amount of tho circulat
ing medium be speedily increased to not loss
than fifty dollars per capita.
Wo domand a graduated incomo tax.
Wo believe that tho moneys of the country
Should bo kept as much as possible in the hands
of the pooplo, and hence we demand that all
national and state rovonuos shall be limitod to
tho necessary expenses, economically and hon
ostly administered.
We demand that postal savings banks be es
tablished by the government for the safe de
posit of the earnings of the people and to facili
tate exchange.
Transportation being a moans of exoliango
and a public necessity, the government should
own and operate the railroads in tho interest
of the people.
Tho telegram and telephone, like tho post,
office system, being a necessity for the trans,
mission of news, should be owned and operated
by the government in the interest of the people.
The land, including all tho natural sources
of wealth, is the heritage of all the people and
should not be monopolized for speculative pur
poses, and alien ownership of land should be
prohibited. All land now held by railroads
and other corporations in excess of their ac
tual needs aud all lands owned by aliens
Bhould be reclaimed by tho government and
held for actual settlers only.
The Resolutions.
Whoroas, Other questions have been present
ed for our consideration, we hereby submit the
following, not as a part of the platform of tho
People s party, but as resolutions expressive of
tho sentiment of this convention:
Resolved, That we demand a free ballot and
a fair count in all olections, and pledge our
selves to secure it to every legal voter without
federal intervention through the adoption of
tho states of the unporverted Australian or
secret ballot system.
Resolved, That the revenue derived from a
graduated lucome tax should be applied to the
reduction of the burden of taxatlou now rest
ing upon tho domestic industries of this coun-
Resolved, That wo pledge our support to fair
and liberal pensions to ex-Union soldiers and
sailors.
Resolved, That we condemn the fallacy of
protecting American labor under the present
system, which opens our ports to the pauper
and criminal classes of the world and crowds
out our wage earners: and we denouuce the
present Ineffective laws against contract labor,
and demand the furthor restriction of undesir
able immigration.
Resolved, That we cordially sympathize with
the efforts of organized workingmen to shorten
the hours of labor, and demand a rigid enforce
ment of the existing eight hour law on govern
ment work and ask that a penalty clause be
added to the said law.
Resolved, That we regard the maintenance
of a large standing army of mercenaries, known
as the Pinkerton system, as a menace to our
liberties and we demand its abolition, and we
condemn the recent invasion of the territory of
Wyoming by the hired assassins of plutocracy,
••listed by federal officials.
Resolved, That we commend to the favor,
able consideration of the people and to the re
form press the legislative system known as the
lhltiatlve and referendum.
Resolved, That we favor a constitutional
provision limiting the offices of president and
vice president to one term and providing for
the election of senators of the United Btates by
a direct vote of the people.
Resolved, That we oppose any subsidy or
national aid to any private corporation for any
lJurpose.J
When the convention reassembled the
official news that Gresham had given a final
and absolute refusal acted like a wet blank
et, and as one of Powderly's lioutenanta
expressed it, "They felt themselves between
the devil and the deep sea."
Weaver Nominated.
When finally the regular order of busi
ness, that of calling the roll of states for
nomination of candidates for the presi
dency, was reached, Alabama was called
and F. C. Manning named General J. B.
Weaver, of lowa. Colorado yielded her
privilege to Colonel S. F. Norton, of Illinois,
who named Senator J. H. Kyle, of South
Dakota. This name was received with
slight applause. Connecticut, through Dele
gate Baldwin, placed in nomination General
Fields, of Virginia. Harvey, of Florida,
seconded Weaver's nomination, and Mr.
Wimberley, of Georgia, supported that of
Senator Kyle. S. H. Basbor, pastor of the
Progressive church at Milledgeville, Ills.,
nominated Senator C. H. Vau Wyck, of
Nebraska.
A vote was then taken and the ballot re
sulted: Weaver, 995; Kyle, 275; scatter
ing, 2.
After the ballot S. F. Norton moved that
the nomination bo made unanimous. Schill
ing, of Wisconsin, seconded the motion,
which was carried. The nomination was
made unanimous, and the delegates rose to
their feet and gave three cheers.
A Texas delegate moved an adjournment,
but the chair ordered the call of the roll for
nominations for vice president. At la. m.
the weary round of five minutes speeches
was resumed, with Alabama Delegate
Gather naming Ben Terrell, of Texas.
Beverly, of Virginia, named an ex-Con
federate to stand by Weaver's side, General
James G. Field, of Virginia. General Field
was nominated for vice-president on the
first ballot, the vote standing: Field, 733;
Terrell, 554. The convention then ap
pointed a national committee and ad
journed.
CAMPBELL TO RESIGN.
Business Affairs Compel] Him to Resign
from the Republican Chairmanship.
WASHINGTON, July 6.—Chairman Camp
bell, of the national Republican committee,
has arrived in the city from Chicago. Ho
was met at the depot by Mr. Micheuer, the
president's personal friend. The two gen
tlemen immediately took a carriage for the
Arlington hotel. Mr. Campbell did not
register, but went directly to the room of
Commissioner of the Land Office Carter,
who is also secretary of the national Repub
lican committoe, where Mr. Carter, Mr.
Micheuer and Mr. Campbell held a consulta
tion lasting about a half hour. They after
ward left the hotel together, going directly
to the White House, and were in confer
ence for four hours with the president, Sec
retary Elkinß, ex-Senator Spooner, of Wis
consin, and Secretary Rusk. After this con
ference Mr. Cumpbell gave out the follow
ing statement:
"When I was elected chairman of the na
tional committee it was with the distinct
understanding that my business engage
ments then pending might render it impos
sible for me to act in that capacity. This
contingency was fully understood by the
committee and others directly interested.
Since the adjournment of the committee I
have been unable to adjust my affairs so as
to render it practicable for me to act as
chairman; and I therefore, as I reserved the
right to do, announce that I will not so act.
"Under the authority vested in me by the
national committoe I will probably an
nounce the executive committee within the
next few days, and that committee will
meet at an early date. At that meeting I
will formally tender my resignation and my
successor will be then elected.
"My successor will be chosen by the ex
ecutive committee as authorized by resolu
tion adopted by the national committee."
Hill Counsels Loyalty.
NEW YORK, July s.—The chief feature of
the celebration of Independence Day in this
city was the 110 th annual celebration by
the Society of Tammany or Columbian Or
der at Tammany Hall.
The following letter from Senator Hill
was read:
Hon. Thomas F. Gilroy and others, committoe:
DEAR SlßS—Engagements made prior to tho
receipt of your lottor prevont my acceptance
of the invitation to be with the Tammany so
ciety on the coming Fourth of July.
This year's celebration of tho anniversary of
our country's independence, preceding as it
does an important political contest involving
the supremacy of tho ossentiai principles of
our free government, may appropriately be
made the occasion of tho renowul of our faith
in those cherished principles which have been
for so many years faithfully championed by
the intrepid Democracy of Tammany Hall.
Our courso at the present time is plain. The
Democracy of New York in the approaching
struggle should present a solid front to tho
common enemy. Loyalty to Democratic prin
ciples and regularly uominated candidates is
the supremo duty of the hour. 1 remain your
fellow citizen, DAVID B. HILL.

and made out of iron pipe riveted to

to discharge both cannons at the name
time. Each had been loaded nearly to
the muzzle and connected by a single
fuse.
This fuse Cooper touched off in the
middle, expected the fire to reach the
powder in each cannon about tho same
time. After lighting tho fuse Cooper
jumped hack and a loud report followed.
Thinking the explosion a double one
Cooper ran to the muzzles of the cannons
to reload when the one on which the fuse
had burned slowly was discharged, the
explosion terribly lacerating both of
Cooper's legs below the knee. The can
nons had been filled with stones and the
fragmemts tore through the muscles of
the legs, lie was taken to tho hospital

Died from a Snake's llite.
Mrs. Polinski, of Mill Creek, while
picking berries on Monday on the moun
tain near Wiles-Barre, was attacked by
a large rattlesnake and made a terrible
fight for her life. The snake attacked
her among a pile of rocks over whicli she
could not climb to escape. She at first
used her tin pail effectually, but the
handle broke and it rolled away from
her. She finally managed to grasp the
snake by the neck and smashed its head
to a jelly with a stone, but not before it
had bitten her severely in numerous
places on the hands and limbs. The
woman was found shortly after she had
killed the snake by a companion, her
limbs had rapidly swelled from the ef
fect of the poison and she was uncon
scious. She was taken to her home and
physicians worked on her without suc
cess. She died about five hours after
being bitten, her body swelling to a great
size and turning black.
BILL IN EQUITY.
William Eberts Asks for an Injunction
Againgt Herman Koch.
In court on Tuesday a hearing was
held in the equity suit of William Eberts
vs. Herman Kocli. The former is apply
ing for a perpetnal injunction to restrain
the latter from engaging in the boot and
shoe business here, alleging that when
he purchased the stock and good will of
Mr. Koch, on March 18, 1892, he was
induced to do so by the defendant re
presenting that he was going to Califor
nia to engage in business and that he
would not open a store here again.
Mr. Eberts complains that by reason
of Koch violating his agreement his
trade is injured, and therefore asked
the court to order him to discontinue
selling the same class of goods as the
plaintiff.
The court, after hearing the reasons
for applying for the injunction, gave no
tice to Mr. Koch to tile his answer on
Tuesday next. John D. Hayes is attor
ney for the plaintiff.

enthusiasm. The number of visitors to

and several special trains were necessary
to accommodate the people who spent
the day here. The various societies
that took part in the parades made ex
cellent displays, and strangers were
very much impressed with Freeland's
ability to honor Independence Day.
The unanimous opinion of all who came

and artistic manner in which the build
