THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1896. AN PREVENS PRACTICE WORK :‘. Stanford Men at Congress & Springs Are Kept Indoors. v Light Exercise and Rehearsing of Signals Will End the Training. | sim : Students at Palo Alto Confideat That i Berkeley Wil Be De- feated. CONGRESS SPRINGS, CAL, Nov. 22.— To-day was put in very quietly by most of Stanford players. Some studied and some * read, while a few braved the rainana . started out the hills. If the weather had pleasant all the men tramp in the moun- t was the plan. Yesterday was a busy day for the play- ers. An bour and a baif in the ferenoon was devoted to signal practice and in the aiternoon the men lined up for thirty tes’ hard playing, the last of the season until the match with Berkeley. The rest of the time from now on will be devoted exclusively to light practice and . signal work. Considering the condition of the field the practice was fair. Burnett '00 took Fickert's place temporarily at guard and distinguished himself by getting into every play and tackling all over the field. . During the second half of the practice . game he was tried at tackle and continued his work there. Cross says that if a week * or two remained before the game Burnett would ainly force one of the other ers to surrender his position. z misfortune since the team here is the severe injuring of . Harrington, Varsity left tackle. accident will make it impossible for to_play on Thanksgiving and J. B. lice '97 has been substituted. Rice has been putting up a very strong game up hére—stronger than at any previous time this season. He has also developed greater ed and aggressiveness. Fisher and Searight have both been putting up good games as halfs on the Varsity and promise to be in good con- dition when they line up against Berkeley. Coston is playing his usual good game at fullback and can be counted upon as a sure ground-gainer. Jeffsand Straight at end are doing better work than at any time this season. The playing of the latter has improved in a marked degree since he arrived at the springs. : -This1s a great place for sleep on account of the absolute stillness which prevails “most of the time. The men retire at 9 o’clock and sleep until 7:30 the next morn- ©: ing. All the fellows are determined to - win that game if good play and hard work can do it. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., Nov. 23.—Nothing is talked about here now ex- - cept the chances for a good day for the football game and a victory for Stanford. News in_THE CALL from Congress Springs - to the effect that the men were putting up better ball than at any previous time this season caused the utmost rejoicing. En- thusiasts feel more and more confident that Berkeley’s boast of a few weeks ago that Stanford wouldn’t be in it will prove - a most distressing disappointment to the boasters. It is calculated by those here who think they know something of the two teams ‘that Berkeley wiil be outclassed in the ° line. Simpson, the Berkeley tackle, will " fira his bands full with C. Thomas, who is * an aggressive playver and especially strong &t stopping any attacks en masse on his sition. In case Jack Rice takes Har- * “rington’s place, his lighter weight is a dis- . - atlvantage, but no man more thoroughly understands the work of a tackie than . Riceor uses his weight and his unusual strength to better aavantage. He tackles ‘much better than Harrington, but 1s not .~so strong a runner with the ball nor so effective in interfering. The ends of the two universities are probably evenly matched an.d Berkeley - has the advantage back of the line. Whether that advantage is as great as her admirers think remains to be seen. One * thing is certain, in backing qualities the - “Berkeley backs are no better, and if they - excel at any other point, it must be in end running, in tackling and in punting. * \Should any of the Stanford backs be laid off, they could be replaced aimost without exception by players who are but slightly ‘their inferiors. - Coliege songs and college yells are taking up the evenings now. After the evening. meal the students gather in the dormitory to practice songs and yelling for an hour or so. Some of the yells this year should ~be most effective. plisk i AL RAIN DAUN:s THEM Berkeley Football Men Practice in the ; Muddy Street. BERKELEY, CaLn, Nov. 23. —The Berkeley football men are practicing for tbeir Thanksgiving game with Stanford rain or shine, and will continue to do so ‘up to the very last moment. Notwith- .*-standing the torrent which fell all after- noon and the wet and slippery condition -': of the ground the Varsity eleven came out and went through a sdries of evolutions ith the ball which extended over an ur. The practice field being so very .muddy the roadway to the rear of North < :and BSouth hslls was selected for their ‘maneuvers. ‘he heavy pounding work of the season aving already been finished, the men de- ‘voted themselves to sharp, snappy signal practice, and to the perfecting of several - dew plays wkich will be sprung on the Palo Alto men in the intercoilegiate. The players seemed to put enough energy and .dash into their work, but the inattention Q signals was a marked defect in their play. On account of his not making the piay as indicated by the signal, Captain - Ransome received an ugly gash over the right eye by coiliding with one of the men -if front of him. While the wouna will not disqualify him from [)lnying in the Thanksgiving game, it will be a source of ‘much discomforture to the great fullback, nd will probabiy prevent him from do- - Ing as effective kicking'as he might under other circumstances. : * .Eddie Sherman was not well enough to practice this evening, and Whipple was + putin-his placeat half. - Almost at the last moment fortune seems to have turned against Berkeley, - for both of her star players—Sherman and - Ransome—have had their injuries and aiiments redoubled, and, though both will enter the game, they will not by any means be up to their normal form. The disabling of some of the best men on the team almost on the very eve of battie has . ever been Berkele; misfortune, for it . happened Iast year and the year before -, Bpd still the year before that. Though it will not be definitely known -~ until a jew bours before the great game who will constitute the team, yet from a an, NOT. ttudy of the men and their ability a rea- tonably accurate conclusion can be ‘reached. The following men lined up to- day on the Varsity eleven, all of whom ¥ill probably play in the team, excepting Whivple and Wallthall, some doubt ex- isting as to the putting in of the latter on account of his comparatively poor condi- tion: Center, Carr; guards, Wallthall ‘and Greisberg; tackies, Ludlow and Yeon; ends, McNutt and Craig; quar- ter, Kennedy; halves, Whipple and ilnll; full, Ransome. / Whipple was taking Sherman’s place at alf, on account of the temporary indis- position of the latter. A big raily of students will be held on | Wednesday night in front of the training quarters, similar to the one held last ses- son, at which songs will be sung, vells will be practiced and a general send off will be given the boys. PORTLAND'S POLYGAMY CASE. Romance Back of a Suit Brought by a Man Against His Wife and Her Former Husband. PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 23.—A some- what romantic story of the supposed dead returning to life again came to light in Justice McDevitt’s court to-day when Henry Doidge of Woodburn Woodlawn caused the arrest of his wife and her former husband, T. Stephenson, on a charge of polygamy. A curious combina- tion of circumstances will be unfolded when the tale is told in court to-morrow. Henry Doidge, the complaining witness and husband of the woman, Mrs. S. R. Doidge, wants to know who his wife's rightful husband 1s. According to her story she has been Henry Doidge’s wife for nearly twenty years, supposing all the time that her first mate, Stephenson, was dead. Twenty years ago Mrs. Doidge was Mrs. Stephenson. Stephenson was in poor cir- cumstances and he decided to go to Texas to make his fortune. Husband and wife corresponded recularly for a while. He fell ill among strangers and in course of time, hearing nothing more of him, Mrs. Stephenson believed him dead. From | that day busband and wite were lost to oune another. Finally Stephenson drifted back to the north and went to work on the Astoria-Goble Railroad. One day a woman came to the camp to cook for the railroad nhands. She formed Stephenson’s acquaintance and told him a story of the wrongs and abuse inflicted upon her by Doidge, who, she said, neither supported herself nor her six children. This woman was his first wife. Stephen- ; son came to Portiand and began to pro- | vide for his former wife and children. Doidge could not be expvected to like this state of affairs very well, and so he had | both of them arrested, partly because of reseniment at his wife's former husband assuming to provide for his neglected family, and because, also, he would like to know whose claim is valid. SRS WORKING FOR SAN PEDRO. | Los Angeles Citizens Attach Their Signa- | tures to a Petition for a Free Harbor. LOS ANGELES, Car., Nov. 23.—Ever since word came from New York that C, P. Huntington had a conference with the | Nationa! Harbor Commission the free- harborites here have been on nettles. Prominent business men, who believe San Pedro is the proper site for the deep-sea harbor, got together several days ago and decided that something had to be done to checkmate Huntington's scheme. Chief Engineer Hood's temporary presence here added to the uneasiness aud spurred the friends of San Pedro to action. Accordingly a petition in favor of San Pearo, because oi its natural advantages | and accessibility, was started in circula- tion this morning. Nearly all the promi- | nent wholesalers and shippers signued it without a murmur. Only about a half- | dozen refusals were met with, the dissent- | ers being avowed Santa Monica men. The circulators of the petition at first moved | with the greatest secrecy, but after they encountered a few Santa Monica adher- ents the cat was soon out of the bag. It i is understood that the petition is not to be | presented to the commission unless it be- | comes manifest that Huntington has been | trying to exercise undue influence to de- | lude the commissioners with the 1dea that the majority of the business men here | favor Santa Monica. —_—— TRAGEDY AT VENIURA. Wilttam Green Wounds Antone Klement and Kills Himself. VENTURA, Carn, Nov. 23.—William Green, a tailor, shot Antone Klement, his employer, inflicting an ugly wound, and then put a bullet through his own brain, dying in less than an hour. The tragedy | occurred in Klement's tailor-shop this | morning at 11:30 o’clock. Green had been working for Klement for nearly two years. He had some trouble with Kiement about | taking goods from the shop. The two men were alone when the shooting took place. Green fired three shots, two at Klement, | one taking effect in the left cheek and coming out under the jaw. He then put the revolver in his own mouth and pulled the trigger. Klement is not dancerously hurt, but has a bad wound. Green was about 25 years old and a native of Rou- mania. e Barbarenos Give to Charity. SANTA BARBARA, CiL., Nov. 23.—A | well-attended meeting was held here last night under the auspices of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union for the benefit of destitute Armenians. Lawyers, | business men and clergymen spoke with feeling of the persecution and terrible sufferine of those unfortunate people, drawing tears from the eyes and ducats from the pockets of many of the audience, In all about $200 was realized to send to the foreign missions in Armenia. BN S Gy Fresno Homicide on Trial. FRESNO, CaL., Nov. 23.—The trial of Humsindo Arana for killing Andreas Martinez at Firebaugh in August last was begun before a jury in Judge Webb’s court and will be concluded to-morrow. Arana was carousing in a saloon and in a spirit of fun was discharging a pistol toward the walls and ceiling. He fired toward the door just as Martinez entered, and the bullet pierced the victim’s heart. The District Attorney asks for a verdict of involuntary mansiaughter. T Colvin Taken to Folsom, FRESNO, CAL., Nov. 23.—Cass Colvin, who was convicted a few days ago of the murder of his brother-in-law, Robert Tot~ ten, at Sequoia Mills and sentenced to State prison for life, was taken to Folsom this morning by Sheriff Scott and Deputy Peck. The officers considered the prisoner a desperate man and hurried him away to prison as quickly as possible. Coivin wore an Oregon boot during the trip and was handcaffed besides. SAN JOSE, CAL., Nov. 23.—The ladies in charge of the Home of Benevolence are making preparations to gwe the or- phans an excellent Thanksgiving feast. At present there are 81 children in the home—46 boys and 35 giris, The Ameri- can Volunteers will give a turkey dinner on Christmas day to the poor of the city. Several of the churches will co-operate with the Volunteers. Eateg it Planning for a Minstrel Show.

H. Northup, was to-day sentenced to twenty days in_the county jail by Justice Gass.” This is Dougherty’s second offense, and he will be sent to the Whittier eform School. ——————— THE King of Pills is Beecham's—BEECHAN'S, | then raged on the bay. The Old Steamer Emma in Saturday’s Storm and the New Emma That Will Be Ready for Business Next March. The New Boat Will Have Her Wheel Amidships and on the Lower Deck Will Have Space for Twenty-Six Teams. She Is Expected to Make at Least 12 Knots. THE OLD EMMA FAD THE NEW ONE One Was in the Gale Satur- day Night and the Other Is in Embryo. With Her Propeller Amidships the New Boat Will Be a Sensation. More Steamers Are Wanted on the Stockton Route to Carry Valley Road Freight. The question as to the date of the heavi- est southeaster that has made trouble on the bay during the past week has often arisen. In regard to the matter the ferry- boat captains seem to be in doubt. Some say it was last Thursday and others assert that last Saturday was the roughest occa- sion on which any of the toats have had to cross the bay. Captain Johnson of the steamer Emma says that never in his experience did he see as heavy a sea as During her last trip from Oakland Creek to San Francisco the little stern-wheeler was almost en- gulfed, and one of Piper, Aden, Goodall & Co.’s schooners appeared in the distance as though she was going out of sight. Chief Engineer Roland of the Emma is an old-timer on the Stockton route, but nevertheless the weather was too much for him, and, strange to say, he was sea- sick. Yesterday he was explaining to his friends that it was a case of bilious- ness, but all and sundry accepted the expla- nation with a credulous smile. Roland is an old-timer, but when the Emma struck the heavy swell that came in from the sea he had to cry ““peccavi,” and the first as- sistant took his place. Roland is certain that never in the history of the bay has such a heavy sea prevailed as that which rolled in last Saturday night. The old stern-wheeler will not remain on the Oakiand route many months. A new Emma is to take her place, and she is expected to make at least twelve knots an bour. The new boat isa departure from the style of craft now plying on the Stock- ton and Sacramento route, and, in fact, will be the only vessel of her class in the world outside of those plying on the Mississippi. Her propeller will be amid- ships, and when completed she will be one of the strongest vessels in the bay. The present Emma with a southeaster almost rolling her gunwales under and the new Emma with ber wheel amiaship make a pretty picture of the past and the present. Many moons ago Chief Engineer Ro- land, then of the Stockton boat T. C. Walker, A. B. Darrell of the Stockton steamer J. D. Peters and P. A. Johnson, captain of the Daisy Kimball, combined and started an opposition freight boat to Alameda. The new boat was the old Emma, and for three years they have kept up the fight and made a living. Now business has improved to such an extent that a new Emma is required and the ves- sel is to be built at once. “How can I explain the plan on which thepnew vessel is to be buili?” said Chief Engineer Roland yesterday. ‘‘There 1s the model and irom it youcan see what we expect to make. The propeller will be amidships and will not take up more room than the walking-beam on a ferry steamer. ““Just imagine two separate ships joined together. They lie side by side, and there is of course considerable space between the two halls. Make those two hulls tast together and put a big paddle-wheel in the intervening space and then you have an idea of the new boat. *If our idea be correct, and we are all old Mississippi men, the new boat should make about twelve knots an hour, and thus beat any Southern Pacific boat on the bay. She will be 150 feet long, 42 feet broad on the floor and 44 feet beam, and 10 feet deep. The old Emma is only 85 feet long, 22 feet 6 inches broad and 4 feet 7 inches deep. We expect to have the new Emma running on the route between thefoot of ‘Washington street, San Francisco, and the foot ot Franklin street, Oakland, next March. In that event we will carry both passengers and cargo.” When completed the new Emma will look like the Piedmont, only she will have no sidewheels, and in the place where is the Oakland’s walking-beam will be a plain, ordinary house, which will keep the spray thrown up from the wheel away from the upper deck. When completed the new steamer will have ac- commodation for at least twenty-six teams on the lower deck, and all the gen- eral freight that comes along will be put on the upper deck. Cabin accommodation will be ample, and_when ready for her trial trip the new Emma should attract universal attraction, ‘Che California Navigation and Improve- ment Company’s steamers are havinga bard time of it carrying the Valley road freight. Hundreds of tons of general merchandise are left over every night, and although four sreamers are runnin; where two used to fill the bill, still they cannot carry all the goods, and in conse- quence the company’s towboat has been pressed into the service. At the present time the T. C. Walker, J. D. Peters, Mary Garratt and the Oity of Stockton are run- uing night and day, and latterly the Leader has been taken off the barge route and is now carrving cargo for the Valley road. In consequence the navigation company is very short of steamers and some of the old-timers will be pulled out of the slough and putin commission be- fore the month is out. Yesteriay the City of Stockton brought down 200 tons of wheat for the Generai Millenet. The ship was not ready to re- ceive it, and even if she had been the rain would have prevented the unloading. Consequently the Stockton had to go to the seawall and unload there. Eppinger & Co. will thus nave to pay double wharf- age, and to say that the head of the firm was angry does not adequately describe the scene, Tne Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s Orizaba has more freizht offering than she can carry for Mexican ports. In conse- quence Goodall, Perkins & Co. will put an exira boat on, and all the Christmas goods due in the Gulf of California next month will get there on time. The chances are that the Coos Bay will make another run on the southern route. Piper, Aden, Goodall & Co.’s steamer Sunol has received a thorough overhaul- ing end is again on the Vallejo route. Chief Engineer Pryor saw to it that her engines were in thorough repair, and he is now willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that the Sunol can beat the Herald tweaty lengths in a straight mile run. The Spreckels tug Reliance, with her new “corrugated” propeller, hed a brush with the tug Active last Sunday. John D. Spreckels was on the Active, so it goes without saying that both vessels did their best. The Reliznce started about three boats’ lengths behind the Active and beat her out a boat’s length in the run to Sausalito. In consequence Mr. Spreckels ordered one of the new wheels put on the Czarina as soon as she is ready for it on the dry- dock. The new wheel takes the water quicker and makes more revolutions going astern than any propeller that has yet been fitted to a tug. Captain *“Gill"”’ Brockaw is enthusiastic in his praise of the invention, and says that now the Re- liance can beat any tug in the bay, either in speed or towing. Captain ‘‘Pete” Ott, one of the pilots, reports the loss of the whistle from the whistling-buoy, and the Lighthouse in- spectors have sent out the foliowing: Notice to Mariners, San Francisco Bar, Cali- fornia—It is reported that the whistling’ buoy outside San Francisco Bar, California, is not in working order, the whistie having been broken. This buoy will be replaced at the earliest practicable date. This notice affects the List of Beacons and Buoys, Pacific Coast, 1895, page 18. The steamer City of Sydney was to have sailed tor Central American ports on the 28th inst., but owing to the amount of | freight offering, the date of her departure has been iostpnned to December 1. Ca; tain Frank Jonnson is more than thunE ful, as he will now be able to thoroughly digest his Thanksgiving dinner beiore he again goes to sea. —_— INVOLVES MANY MILLIONS, Beginning of Arguments on a Claim of Great Magnitude. WASHINGTON, D.

Shord’s Tri Continuea. LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. 23.—The trial of Dr. W. 8.

SUSIE B, MARTIN ONCE MORE FREE A Jury Decides That She Is Not Insane at Present. She Killed Her Husband in a Fit of Temporary Mental Aberration. Arguments by Attorneys Eddy and Hink:e—Judge Wallace’s Charge and the Verdict. Mrs. Susie B. Martin, who shot and killed her husband in the new City Hall on the 30th of last March, and who was acquitted on the ground of insanity, is at last a free woman. A jury in Judge Wal- lace’s court yesterday declared that she is Dot now insane, and she was at once dis- charged from custody. When Mrs. Martin entered the dark courtroom yesterday morning sne was looking more cheerful than at any time since the day of her arrest, when she stood over the lifeless form of her hus- band, John F. Martin, and assured her captors that she had killed him because he had left her and she loved him too much to live without him. Ned Kester, a brother-in-law of the ac- cused woman, retold the story of her miserable life with Martin, how he abused his affectionate wife and neglected her to consort with the worst kind of men and women in a disreputable quarter of the City. He thought this had unsettled Mrs. Martin’s mind and that she was not re- sponsible for her act when she shot her husband. Mr. Foster gave it as his opin- ion that Mrs. Martin is at present of sound mind and not dangerous to be at large. After the testimony for the prosecution was in, Attorney Kowalsky arose to make an opening statement for the defense, but he was checked by Judge Wallace, who told him his remarks were not properly framed. When he persisted in his course, the court ordered him to sit down, Dennis Boyle, who had charge of Mrs. Martin for some time while she was in the branch City Jail, said he considered her perfectly sane. This view was coincided in by Miss Minnie Boyle, Mrs. Ellen Boyle, Archie Levy, Mrs. Kitty Tracy, Dr. E. D. Lustig, Dr. C. W. Card, Meyer Lindheimer and L. G. Busante, Arguments were made by Attorney Eddy and Deputy District Attorney Hinkle. Mr. Eddy said the prosecution had failed to make out a case, and that even if he and Mr. Kowalsky had not promised any affirmative testimony to show that Mrs. Martin is sane she would be entitled to a verdict establishing her sanity. He contended that the testimony shows conclusively that she isof sound mind. Mr, Hinkle took a different view. He said 1t had been proved that Mrs. Martin was insane when she fired the fatal shot. It was on that point an acquittal had been based. Did she remain insane just long enough to pull the trigger and kill her man and then become insane again? ‘Wouldn't it be fair to presume that she might go insane that way and kill some- body else if she felt so disposed, and then seek another acquittal on the ground of inganity ? g In Mr. Hinkle’s opinion the jury ought to put Mrs. Martin in a place where the public safety would not be endangered. Judge Wallace charged the jury to the effect that when the trial opened ihe pre- sumption was in favor of Mrs. Martin's sanity, and that the burden of proof of in- sanity rested upon the District Attorney. After he introduced the record of the murder trial and the verdict of the jury that Mrs. Martin was acquitted because of her insanity, then the burden of proof shifted, for the verdict of that jury must be accepted as true, and her insanity must be conceded. It therefore devolved on her to prove by a preponderance of testimony that she has recovered her men- tal bulance and is at the present time in a sane condition. The jury took half an kour to agree on a verdict, but finally decided that Mrs. Martin is of sound mind. ‘When dllehu‘rigad from custody Mrs, Martin received the congratulations of her friends in a quiet manner, and at once left the courtroom with her sister and other relatives. It is stated that Mrs. Martin will resume her vocation as an actiess. Seoretary Koosevelt 1ll. LONDON, Exc., Nov. 23.—James R.

Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. NO MORE FUSION | FOR POPULIST They Have Renounced the Works of the Devil, And Therefore Are Divorced From the Bedridden Democracy. Other Great Issues Besides Finance That the Bourbons Cannot Handle to Any Practical Advantage. The executive committee of the State Central Committee of the People’s party hela a secret session in the State House in Sacramento last week to bury the dead, to care for the wounded, and to discover what it was that had knocked the party and its Democratic rider to smithereens. The situation was exhaustively dis- cussed by the gentleman present, namely; E. M. Wardall, chairman; R. E. Bush, secretary; S. C. Houghton, Assemblyman- elect from Tehama and Trinity counties; C. A. Barlow, Congressman-elect from the Sixth District; T. V. Cator, M. E. Dittmar of Redding, J. 8. Barbes of Los Angeles, L. M. Landsborough and J. E. Camp of Sacramento. But one opinion was expressed, and that was that the People’s party had gone and made a fool of 1tself by marrying the relict of the Democracy; that many of the so- called Democratic newspapers of the State had not made a faithful and sincere fight for the fusion candidates for the Legislature, and uhat the People’s party and its principles had suffered rather than gained by reason of the political miscege- nation during the recent election cam- paign. 1t was decided to issue a manifesto to the members of the party throughout the State. In order that the executive com- mittee might test the statement that the San Francisco Examiner was not sincere in its pretended fight for the fusion candi- dates, a copy of the manifesto was sent to that peculiar paper, and, as had been ex- pected, the Examiner refused to publish it. The following is the manifesto: To the People’s Party of the State of Califor- nia: Our party sprang into existence a chila of necessity. 1t will remain the champion of our demands on the great questions of finance, transportation and land until the reforms we advocate shall have been prosecuted to a suc- cessful issue and the great struggle now pend- ing pecomes a matter of history. The great campaign just closed has sue- ceeded apparently in crushing out hope in the heart of the people. The success is more ap- parent than real, for & policy that menaces human liberty cannot be permanently sus- tained in a lana where liberty is ap inborn right. Bunker Hill had 1ts Yorktown and Bull Run its Appomattox. So surely as right will finally prevail, so surely will the cause of humanity be eventually sustained at the bal- lot-box. It therefore becomes & positive duty to close ranks, align ourselves anew and be repared not alone to check future onslaugnt, eslgned o further entrench ¢iass privileges, but to take the aggressive in the struggle that has for its final object a broader recognition of the brotherhood oi man. The object of the People’s party was not ac- complished when one of :ts demands was made the chrdinal principle of another great party. Great as is the silver guestion, it is not as great as the whole money question—a question that involves the abolition of the benk of issue and the establishment of & postal savings bank. Greatas is the money question in its entirety, it does not overshadow the issue thut involves Government ownership of our trans- portation monopolies, direct legisiation and the destruction of land monopoly. These demands are all near and dear to Populists; and while one of the great issues that we have contested for this campalen was not accepted at this time, if we do our whole duty not alone will monetary reform be car- ried to_a successful issue in the next cam- uign, but other demands will also receive the [avorable consideration that their merits will command. Qur party in 1896, by reason of the action of the Chicago convention, felt ita duty to re- spond to the demand that we support William J. Bryan and unite ail reform forces in an effort to defeat the gold power. We cannot complain of the action of our Nattonal con- vention. ¥ By fratgrnizing for this campaign with the silver for we bave widely extended a knowl- edge of and bellef in our principles. We have also, by honestly supporting Mr. Bryan, placed the Democratic party in a position where it cannot attribute defeat to our party., It is now plainly seen that the reason the Demo- cratic party did not succeea was because that party could not be held together in & contest agsinst plutocracy. We have done our whole patriotic duty in the demand_for our alliance, and the event proving that Democrats cannot attract Republicans in sufficient numbers to fill the gap made by the wide desertion of gold Democrats. We are forced to conclude that the future maintenance of a National struggle for relief against Republican plutocracy requires a com- pact organization within our party of all who would rescue the Nation from industrial ruin. To the end that there mey be harmony in our policy and purpose and uniformity in the action of the party in the several States, we request that the National Committee call a National convention of our party tor such pur- pose, to be held before April, 1898. In the meantime let us begin the next cam- paign now, ready to accept any aid that is offerea with an honest motive to accomplish our object—the amelioration of the condition of the wealth creators of this land. With unlagging zeal every voter who holds allegiance to the People’s party should at once gira his loins and face the foe. An or- #anization that will command the respect will also command the support of the people. We will command the one and achieve the other. What the future may have in store for the country in the way of politicalalignment none can foretell. In the meantime 1% will be the purpose of the young political glant—the party of the people—to organize and educate nationally, State and local, all aiong the line, to the end that none in a receptive mood can g0 astray through lack of opportunity because of the inactivity of those charged with the duty of directing the forces. With courage and hope inscribed upon our banners we wlll"g:all forward battling for the right, knowing t truth is mighty and will prevail. . J. L. Gilbert (chairman), M. E.
