Carl Browne Champions Dewey for President. Kansas City, Mo., April 18.—Carl Browne of Coxey army fame. was in- vited to address the morning session of the mass convention of Missouri middle-of-the-road populists to-day, and created consternation among the adherents of Wharton Barker of Pennsylvania, when he strongly ad- vocated Admiral Dewey as head of the populist national ticket. ‘“Bar- ser,” declared Browne, in his charac- teristic manner, “is up against the iron wall of conditions, and defeat for him is inevitable. The head of the ticket should be the popular idol of the people, Admiral George Dewey with Wharton Barker or Ignatius Donnelly for vice president.” There was a show of stopping the speaker as he uttered these remarks, but Browne was permitted to con- tinue. “With such a ticket,’ he declared, “We sill stand some show of knock could no longer wield and turned it against a race she had become pow- erless to further oppress. “Look at the littleisland of Puerto Rico that welcomed us as deliverers from an oppressor’s hand. What do we find? A people denied the most valuable privileges they enjoyed un- der a despotism that furnished our only excuse for war; a race of vassels without a right we are bound to re- spect—foreigners, in fact, who cannot enter our gates without paying trib- ute on the products of their toil, or take unencumbered from our hands that which their needs require—vet our subjects in name, over whom the American flag is to float forever, to be ruled as our lordly will may deter- mine, “With unseemly haste a republican congress and a republican president struck from a statute of their coun- try a tariff tax framed for revenue, the only purpose for which taxes can rightfully be laid, and built in its place a high wall in front of every port of the nation, in the shadows of which an infamous brood of life-suck- ing trusts have been nursed until there is scarcely a manufactured ne- cessity of life the market price of which to American consumers is not fixed by the greed of some giant cor- poration “We areat the threshold of another national campaign.

Such a proposition could not in all probability be passed by congress and if it should go through it would have to be ratified by three-fourths of the states required to make it ef- fective.

The convention held here to-day wasenthusiastie and perfectly harmonious. The renom- ination of Colonel Benton was made by acclamation. The convention was called to order by B. F. Thomas, chairman of the District Committee. There were pre: ent delegates from every county in the Fifteenth District, which includes Jasper, Barton, Newton, Lawrence, Vernon, Barry, Barton and MeDon- ald, allin the southern part of Mis- souri. H.C. Jarvis of Vernon eounty was elected chairman, T. D. Steel of Barry secretary, J.T. Livingston of Jasper sergent-at-arms. Resolutions were adopted which re. affirmed the Chicago platform and denounced imperialism as practiced unconstitutionally by the national administration. The Porto Rico act denounced as as outrage on people who took refuge under our flag. Sympathy for the Boers was expressed was was The people were con- sratulated on the splendid prospects of redeeming the Government under Bryan's Bentor leadership.

Such an im- pression, it is feared, would have a bad effect on the national convention managers, aud perhaps result ina demand from some quarters to locate it elsewhere. As stated some days ago, Chair- man Cook and Secretary Virgil Conk- ling of the state committee will visit Kansas City next week and make a definite report as to whether, in their opinion, the arrangements proposed will be sufficient to meet the require- ments of the state convention. Gov- ernor Stone is inclined to believe that the city will come forward with satis- factory proposals and the citizens of the Kaw town quite agree with him. GREAT LOSS BY FLOOD.
