2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CAI;L, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1896. . anl Populists’ convention to order in the As- sembly chamber. He called on Rev. W. C. Bowman to invoke a blessing before the regular proceedings were opened. In the course of his prayer the minister said: “We feel that this is a convention of men and wormen to promote a cause that has the approval of God and heaven. We feel that this movement was born of God and baptized with the breath of heaven in its very inception.”’ In his opening address the chairman spoke as follows: ““We are now at a point where we can see victory in the air. We now invite your wise counsel, and I feel sure, from its per- sonnel, that this convention will be long remembered for the good work it will do. “A week ago there was another State Convention in this city, and I have no hesitancy in saying that the Republican convention, which then met, did more for us than for itself. [Applause.] It seems to me that its action was such as not to meet with the unqualified approval of the Republicans. 4 ‘It placed an anti-funding plank in the latform and then placed at the head of ts electoral ticket Charles F. Crocker, vice- president of the Southern Pacific Come pany; and then a man, notoriously a rail- road man, the Congressman from this dis- trict—I allude, of course, to Mr. Johnson— was also placed on the electoral ticket of that party. “We have also reason to doubt the work of the Republican party during the last two years. Two years apf the Repub- lican party, as it did a week ago, adopted asuffrage plank. They opened the cam- paign in Los Angeles. They came out without any excuse and repudiated the action of the State convention, saying they would not support the woman suffrage plank. “We have now 70,000 votes pledged in the Populist party to that cause because the campaigu has” begun. , Then the Pro- hibitionJmny has at least 10,000 more votes and they can be relied on to join us in this matter. If we can drum up 20,000 more out ot the Republican and Demo- cratic parties the woman suffrage amend- ment will be carried by a big majority.” Assistant Secretary Hamiiton then read the call for the convention. J. A. Johnson of 8an Francisco, with an eye cast to the rear of the hall, calied attention to the presence of Miss Susan B, Anthony, Mrs. Aaron A. Sargent and Miss Harper, of the Woman Suffrage Associa- tion, in the reer of the hall, and moved that those ladies be invited to take seats in front of the platform. The convention showed its appreciation of the doctrine of equal suffrage by rising to its feet and adopting the motion by acclamation. George D. Gillespie of San Francisco, a young man nattily dressed and holding a silk hat in his hand, proposed three cheers for the ladies, and as they passed through the middle aisle toward the front of tbe hall, escorted by the smiling J. A. Johnson, ;he hall rang and rang again with cheer- ng. Nominations for temporary chairman were declared in order, and were opened by J. F. McSwain of Alameda, a gentleman attired in sober black, illumi- nated with a white tie, who named Dr. C. H. Castle of Merced. J. V. Webster, ex-candidate for Governor on the Populist ticket, placed Charles A. Barlow o1 San Luis Obispo in nomination, garlanded with flowers of praise. He said that Mr. Barlow had never slunk away from duty. He had stood before the mouth of a bursting cannon and had aided in scattering its fragments to the four winds of heaven. e had faithiully served the people on the floor of the Assembly .ns had redeemed every pledge that he had made to the people. More than that, Mr. Barlow had come to the convention without any indorsement from any other party. He came from the People’s Pnny and none other. J. D. Thompson of San Franeisco and J. Waybright of El Dorado seconded the nomination of Barlow. E. 8. Van Meter of Fresno named D. T. Fowler of Fresno. J. M. C. Murpby of Shasta nominated Joseph E. Bell of Shasta. Rev. W. C. Bowman of Los Angeles seconded Mr. Barlow’s nomination, and the vote was called with the following result: COUNTIES. . Alameda. 10 San Joaquin San Luis UbIS}0.

I await your pleasure.” On motion of T.V. Cator a recess was taken to allow the district delegations to make their selections for the committee on credentials, order of business and reso- lutions. On reassembling the following com- mittees were announced : Credentials—T. A. Gallup, G. K. McMath, L. M. Landsborough, Thomas A. Howard, A. W. Thompson, D. E. Lander, E. 8. Van Meter. Order of business end_organization—E. E. Bunce, J. Roberts, C. W. Thresher, George D. Glllelg}e, E. E. Cotheran, Charles H. Arnold, T. W. Maples. Resolutions ard platform—N: J. Manson, made r.

Dillon, L. F. Smith, J. V. Webster, D. T. Fowler, A.J. Waternouse, J. L. Dryden. The three hours of recess from 1till 4 P. . to-day were well employed by the yarious committees holding their sessions. When 4 o’clock arrived the committee on platform and resolutions had not finished its business, and. in order to fill up the time pleasantly while waiting, called upon %n)un B‘:iAnthnny tu.m;ke s few remarks. e motion was carried by a rising vo and Burdette Cornell, the opulist aratoy’ ;smined the vencrablelady tothe speaker’s esk. She was received with that cordial wel- come which only a !’ogmliaz convention can accord a woman. She said that she 'was very glad to be present in a conven- tion of thinking men. Every one of the delegates looked as though he did his own thinking, Most men do their thinking as the Yankee family aid their washing— they put 1t out of the family and had it done—but the Povulists did their own thinking instead of letting somebody else do it for them. She spoke of Mrs. Aaron A. Sargent, widow of the late Uaited States Senator of tbat name, and Mrs. Sarah Knox Good- rich as being true friends of the cause on this coast. The friends of suffrage pro- pose to present a petition signed by 50,000 menand women to the Democratic State Convention on June 16 in favor of woman suffrage. Statistics were quoted by the speaker to show that women paid one- | eleventh of all of the money received | from taxes in this Btate outside of San Francisco, there not having been any com- ! putation made of the tax roll of that City. She told also of the women of Colorado Characteristic View of Some Populist Gripsacks at Sacramento. Earnest Delegates in the Hotel Lobby—Quiet Discussion of National and State Affairs by Thought- ful Members of the People’s Party at Sacramento. startled his colleagues by declaring that the adoption of the Cator tariff plank would mean complete defeat of the party. He continued : *“Why, gentlemen, for years m{ friend Mr. Ditmar and 1 have been tel ling our people that the tariff was no longer an important 1ssue befere the people of this country, but that the financial question was the one of paramount interest. We pointed out to them that neither Republi- can protection nor Democratic free trade had enabled them to pay off their mort- gages, buy a new hat or a new suit of clothes, and we further assured them that when the financial system of our country was reformed on the lines we favor that they would no longer wear patches on their pants. Now you would compel us to 0 before the people and explain to them %hnt, we were wrong and the tariff is an issue and an important one. I tell you, gentlemen, if this plank is adopted I wil | Green Magors OF AlAmME DA and Wyoming and how they always voted on the side of right and morality. Mrs. Sargent and Mrs. Goodrich made brief speeches, which were applauded to the echo, Miss Ida A. Harper, chairman of the woman suffrage press committee, made her maiden speech to a convention of men. Sbe calYed attention to the favor- able attitude of the press of this State on the suhf'ect of equal suffrage. Of the 1300 press clippings sent to her by a bureau there were only twenty-five opposed to woman suffrage. “We propose to keep this matter non- partisan,” she went on, ‘‘and_ will not allow this cause to be dragged into any religious controversy if it is in our power to prevent it.” . This declaration was received with much enthusiasm. Mrs. Sarah Pnrnell of Sacramento was the next speaker, and although a stranger to the majority of the delegates, was warmly greefed. She captured the hearts of her hearers by remarking that there was in this convention more tweed and . | less broadcloth than she observed in the Republican convention last week, and vondering upon the contrast she had said to herself that if she could vote she would vote for the Populists. She mentioned a mliiuful reminiscence pertamning to her- sell. “Two years ago,” she said, ‘I was so un- fortunate at the of the great railroad strike in this State as to write some articles and thereby to tread on somebody’s corns. That party being a power brought his guns to bear on me and finally succeeded in bringing me down, so that I am to a cer- tain extent, a political martyr.” ] Mrs. Purnell’s reference was to the fact that after she had written those articles in favor of the ikers she was dismissed from her position in the Sacramento school department by the Board of Edu- cation of this city. Mrs, Hobart followed by congratulating Miss Anthony as being one of the most splendid examples of ;heroism and endu- rance in advocacy of the principles of woman suffrage. She spoke of equal wages for women and men for equal rervice, and said that 55 per cent of the women of this Nation to-day were forced to go out of their homes to work to assist their hus- bands. After an hour pleasantly spent in this way the committee on credentials ap- peared with their report, and the work of the convention proceeded. In the Banta Barbara contest the com- mittee reported, excluding W. B. Gray of the regulars and J. Bradley and R. H. Fulweiler of the contestants. They seated J. Morgan, A. M. Powell and J. A.” Wilcox of the regulars and J. W. Starkweather of the contestants. Siarkweatber was one of the first, if not the first, delegate to arrive in Sacramento, and- the result of his work shows that he had well employed his time among the delegates in pleading his cause. Randolph of Alameda moved to refer the list of the Alameda delegates back to the committee for the reason that one of the delegates was an office-holder and under therules of the People’s party could not sit in a Populist Convention. The delegate referred to is Burdette Cor- nell, the noted P&lzfluflst orator, who holds the position of Deputy Treasurer of Ala- meda County. One of the delegation said that Mr. Cornell had been worru:f for one ‘week in the Treasurer’s office, and that at the end of the month he would receive his pay. He had notreceived hiscommission, but he would receive it as soon as he got back to Alameda, and Mr. Cornell made a speech, in which he offered to withdraw if there was any delegate present who ob- jected to his taking a seat. He was followed by E. 8. Van Meter of Fresno, who contended that as Mr. Cornell ‘was to be paid out of the private funds of the Treasurer, and that as he had not yet received his commission, he was as much entitled to sit in the convention as any otner delegate on the floor. A long discussion followed, in which the speakers contended that Mr. Cornell should be seated, as he was not in the employ of the municipal body. “All in favor of the motion to adovt the report of the commiitee and seat Mr. Cor- nell will please give the voting sign of the order,” said Chairman Barlow. A roar of laughter greeted this lapse into the friendly realms of fraternal order, and the chairman remarked that he hoped that the convention would excuse him. The report of the committee was adopted and Mr. Cornell was seated. It was announced that tha committee on permanent organization ana order of busi- ness and on platform had not yet com- pleted their labors, and that no further business could be done until that time. An adjournment was had until 9 o’clock to-morrow morning. BUILDING A PLATFORM. Anti-Funding and Tariff Planks Cause Much Argument Before the Com- mittee. BACRAMENTO, Cirn,, May 12— For four hours and a half the committee on resolutions and platform Jabored assidu- ously this afternoon on the task of build- ing up a platform that wouid not only meet the demands of the adherents of the party throughout the State and country, but would also attract the malcontents in the two great political parties. The twenty-one members of the commit- tee began their session at 1:30 p. u. and ad- journed at 6 o’clock to meet again at 7:15, after adopting but four planks for recom- mendation to the National Convention and without having done a single thing toward forming a plavk or platform of strictly State interest. Every proposition brought forward served as an excuse for the release of a flow of oratory from most of the mem- bers, even when it was a foregone conclu- sion that the proposition had the ugpronl of a majority. But when the tariff ques- tion came up a regular Niagara of words overwhelmed the session and was main- tained so incessantly that,in the very midst of the discussion, some one, out of sheer pity for the committee, moved a re- cess for an hour and a quarter, This was the one question on which anv great diversity of opinion was develo ed, the opposition element strongly favoring a course enfiul{ ignoring the issue. The first motion was one to indorse and reaffirm the Omaba platlorm. To this an amendment was made by T. V. Cator, fa- voring d rect legislation. H. C. Dilion of Los Angeles then sprang as a substitute one of the planks of a cut and dried platform which he haa been carefully nursing, as he confessed, for some weeks, and which he shielded most stringently from the knowledge and scru- tiny of every one, evidently in fear of a blighting frost. As events developed, however, he might almost as well have ex- soud it to every possible danger, for it was loomed to such a course of amputation that only one small pnnanh served asa sort of graft to the platform that was ultimately adopted. His amendment provided for swallow- ing in their entirety and with all their in- consistencies the four platferms adopted at Ocala, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Omaha. This was killed. Johnson followed to amend by addinga provision for proportional representation. A suggestion was made to incorporate the initiative and referendum in the plank which was accepted by Mr. Cator, and as adopted the first plank reads: “The People’s party of the State of Cal- ifornia rea: the principles of the Omaha platiorm and demand direct legis- lation by the initiative and referendum and proportional representation.’” Judge Dillon then offered another of his choice collection of planks, reading: *‘We demand that direct legislation and proportional representation be guaranteed to the people whenever a petition signed by 10 per cent of the voters of any State, county or municipality therein shall ask for the same.” After this had been amended until it was unrecognizable as the original reso- lution, Mr. Cator moved that the subject be laid aside until all declarations on National matters had been disposed of. This carried, and Mr. Cator then intro- duced the following anti-bond resolution: “We denounce the policy and practice of the Democratic and l{)gpublmnn parties in maintaining the gold standard and in_is- suing bonds to purchase gold to Na- tional obligations which are on their face and by law payable either in gold or silver coin, and condemn the_ hypocrisy of the Republican party for denouncing Grover Cleveland for so issuing bonds, while it has by its representatives in Congress up- beld the said policy and has refused to vole for bills brought in by Populist Sen- ators to restrain the issue of such bonds without the cgnsent of Congress.” in the disc¥skfon that ensued one of the members wanted the bond-issuing policy denounced as a conspiracy between the Democratic administration and wmoney brokers and bankers of Wall street and England to enslave the people finan- cially. 2 Objection was successfully made to this proposition by the argument that it would be impossible to legally prove the exist- ence of such a conspiracy and that the People’s party ought not to make declara- tions that it was not in a position to prove. Then the irrepressible Dillon threw an- other one of his planks into the arena, but no one deigned to take hold of it and it got irrecoverably lost in the shuffle of words and amendments that followed. Mr. Cator’s resolution was adopted. Undismayed by defeat, Mr. Dillon again tore off another plank from his now some- what dismantled platform and submitted it to the committee. It was: one that brought a glad smile to some and a grim smile to many. This isit: ““We demgnd that whenever a monopoly becomes oppressive it shall be taken possession of and owned and operated in the interest of the people, just remunera- tion being first made for the property taken. Among such monopolies we spe- cifically point to the Central and Union Pacific railroads and, condemning the funding bill now pending in Congress, we demand that the Government take imme- diate steps for the ownership and control of those public highways and that they be oferuted in the interests of the whole peo- ple and not in the interests of other con- necting lines,”” Despite the strong language in which this was couched, it did not meet with the apparent deep feeling of batred enter- tained toward the great monopoly, more particularly the latter paragraph, beginning: “Among such monopolies we speciticatly point to tne Central and Union Pacific,” ete. o This entire paragraph was finally killed to clear the deck io & stronger and more sweeping measure against funding and in favor of Government ownership and opera- tion of the roads named. This done, Judge Dillon was gladdened by the adoption of the first paragraph. Cator was on the alert, and by the time the anti-mouopoly plank was disposed of he was ready with and presented the fol- lowing to cover the question of funding and Government ownenhiJ;, as during the earlier discussion it was declared that no resolution could be too strong: ““We oppose and denounce all bills to fund or extend the payment of the Pacific railroad debts, and we oppose any settle- ment by which these roads are to remain in the hands of any private person or cor- poration unless these debts are paid in full and at maturity, and unless so paid we demand that the Government, by virtue of the terms of its mortgage, enterinto and take possession of these roads and ope:ate the same as National enterprises the interests of the people; and upon fore- closure, if there is a deficiency, that the Government pursne every legal or equita- ble remedy to recover any such deficiency from those responsible therefor.” ., Lattle discussion was created by this and it was soon made a plank of the platiorm to be submitted to-morrow to the main convention. At this point Cdtor threw what proved to be the apple of discord into the assem- blage with this artistic and artiul straddle of the tariff question: *‘We favor genuine protection to Ameri- can labor by the restriction of the immigra- tion of foreign labor and by a true Ameri- can system 05 finance which wiil render justice to labor and industry and restrain the evils of usury, and we demand the creation of a National non-partisan tariff tribunal of experts to the end that all revenues derived from tariff shall be so adjusted that the benefit shall result to labor and not to the trusts, and we de- nounce the Democratic and Republican E;mes for refusing to properly restrict migration of foreign labor when having the 1?9'" to do so in Congress.” Things were going alonq swimmingly and it looked as if the plank would re- ceive the unanimous approval of the com- mittee, when Murphy of Shasta, calling attention with due modesty and defer- ence to the fact that he was young in years and inexperienced in = polities, A Thompson San FRANL St abide by it, but I shall fight it on the floor of the convention.” This encouraged others to oppose the resolution, and while the debate was at its height, the fond father of the only plat- form that was born complete, with every plank fully gzrown and developed, offered up another of its planks for sacrifice, evi- dently mistaking the humor ¢f the com- mittee. It was as follows: “Recognizing the fact that a tariff is a tax on what we consume, and isin the end paid by the consumer—that 1t i scheme devised by wealth-owners to i pose on wealth-producers the burden of supporting the Government--we demand that an import duty be assessed at s0 high a rate on all goods that can be produced in this country in sufficient quantities to meet the demands of trade, as to abso- lutely prohibit their imponnion, and that all goods that cannot be so produced in this country be admitted free of duty; and that the funds necessary for thesupport of the Government be raised by a graduated income tax, a succession tax, and such other direct taxation as may be found to be less oppressive.” It was .smboued as a substitute, but after it had been pretty well splintered its | sponser withdrew its remains. There was no diminution, however, in the volume and intensity of the debate, the question being whether to straddle by the adoption of the tariff tribunal proposi- tion or to ignore the question altogether. Those who advocated the latter course declared that the party had gathered mnfih in the past by totally ignoting the , and grophesizd that a similar policy now would result advantageously. At this Cator declared that if there %qn nothing in the Omaha platform on the tariff he would be pleased to withdraw his resolution. He produced a copy of this much-referred-to but apparently little- known document, and read section D of the finance plank, as follows? *“We believe that the money of the coun- try should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hénce we de- mand that all National and State revenues shall be limited to the nefemr{ expenses of the Government, economically and hon- estly administered.’’ e then continned : “‘Here we have a declaration on the sub- ject, and one that has always, so [ am in- formed, been interpreted as favoring the Democratic idea of creating a tariff for creating a revenue to carry on the Govern- mendt."economially and honestly adminis- tered.’ He urged the adoption of his resolution, as, he said, both Democrats and Republic- ans would be attracted to the Populist party, as his resolution would virtually take’ the tariff question out of politics. Objection was taken to his interpreta- tion of the Omaha plank he had , the claim being made that it did not cover the tariff issue or touch that question at all. Mr. Cator at this juncture evolved a new and interesting issue by asking Chairman D. T. Fowler of Fresno to call the roll, in order to get an expression from the com- mittee as to whether or not the Omaha vlatiorm dealt with the tariff issue. It was then 6 p. M., nndfoge mem I:)eer sns fering from the gs of hunger begge for nsiomnmant p;ennding the discu!s?on and vote on this question, and a recess was taken until 7:15 p. M. After a protracted discussion Mr. Cator announced that he took the ground that the tariff question was referred to in the Omaha platiorm, and the question was ut to the committee by Chairman Fowler in this form: *Is there any reference to the tariff question in the Omaha plat- form ?”’ On the call of the roll there were sixteen unqualified ayes, two unqualified noes and five qualified answers of both kinas. The gunlified ayes were, “Yes, but it does not eal with the tariff.” The question was accordingly decided in the affirmative and the discussion began all over again. Mr. Cator's resolution was again before the committee and Mr. Murphy was again on the floor. He ob- jected strenuously to the tariff part of the resolution. He called attention to the fact that the Populists had fought the old parties on that issue for four years on the lines that the proper adjustment of the tariff ques- tion was an important matter. The Popu- lists had said that it was not so that the important questions were those of land, currency and transportation. *‘All our speakers throughout the United States have said that those are the ques- tions that have forced the old parties and their representative men to say publicly that the tariff question is not the great question before the American people to-day,” continued Mr. Murphy, “‘and now we propose in this State Convention to say how and in what manner we will dispose of the tariff question, and Isay thatit is a dangerous thing. Itputsinto the hands.of the old party men a club to beat us over the heads with. We have to contend with men who have made deception a study, and who have skiilfully practiced for years and years the art of pulling wool over the eyes of the people.” Mr. Murphy went on to argue that the people couid not be educated up to the new idea in six months. “Whenever we strike the rock of dealing with the tariff,” he added, *‘our ship will g0 to pieces.” Burnette G. Haskell said that the Cator resolution, if ncorporated into the State platform, would be the means of winning to Populism the votes of tens of thousands of workingmen from the Democratic and Republican parties. The larger proportion of the workingmen in this State believe in rotection, and some few of the Democrats gelieve in a limited protective tariff. “I know that the trades unions to-day are socialistic,”” he said, *‘and they con- demn this plank in the Omaha platform. If you pass this resolution of Mr. Cator you will go into the shops with a double- edged weapon; we can say to the laborer, ‘We can protect you by keegmg out the competition of cheap labor,’ that will suit the Republican ana the Democrat as well.”” Vann of Colusa opposed the Cator reso- lution bitterly. The Populists had accused both Republicans and Democrats of strad- dling issues in their platforms, and the Cator resolution made the Populists straddle the tariff question, “If Mrv, Haskell is a straddler, I am not,” continued Mr. Vann. “I am a straddler on that proposition,” retorted Haskell, “We expect,”’ continued Mr. Vann, *‘to catch Democratic and KRepublican votes with a straddle platform, in face of the fact that all the victories have been won by coming out squarely upon issues straddled by the old parties. "You interject a tariff plank here and you admit that every ut- terance of the party for the last four years is false. Every one of the speakers in favor of this resolution has said that it is sim- ply molasses to catch flies. I, as a man who helped to organize this party and who has made more than 100 speeches on the Omaha platform, beg of you not to inter- ject into that piatform any proposition of astraddling nature.’’ . Asbury Johnson of San Francisco said that the Cator resolution was a buzz saw with which Populists shoald not monkey if they didn’t want to have their fingers cut off. The tariff commission, he explained, would be created, undoubtedly, by act of Congress, and the members would be elected by the votes of the peo- ple of the States represented by them. It we want to get business men with us we must take a stand on this tariff ques- tion and get into line with the business men who are trying to take the tariff ques- tion out of politics,”” said Mr. Johnson. J. V. Webster condemned the proposi- tion. “It had been admitted by all the speakers in its favor,” hesaid, “that it was a straddle proposition without any prin- ciple being involved. Any proposition that the Republicans and the Democrats can make appear ridiculous is worse than Apollinaris g‘pl)‘f. [ NATURAL MINERAL WATER.
