Atteution is c alled by The Electrical
Review to the fact that in all the dis

little or nothing has beeu said about

there are something like 35 of them
in existence, not one of the 35 Hies the
American flag. If, therefore, the
Pacific cable is to bo eutirely of Amer
ican production, wo must have at least
two cable ships, costing about $G00,

It must be at the water's edge in or

hold. The cable itself will co it about
$U030,000, a -id the total expenditure

at $20,001,000, which is a lot of money

CANDIDA
TES OF
Bryan and Towne Selected
At the Sioux Falls
Convention.
The National Populist Convention
concluded its session at Sioux Falls,
8. D., at 1 o'clock Thursday morning
and adjourned sine die after nominat
ing the Hon. W. J. Bryan for presi
dent and Hon. Charles A. Towne for
vice president. The nomination of
Mr. Towne was only accomplished af
ter a struggle of several hours dura
tion, in which an effort was made to
have the question of the nomination
of a vice presidential candidate refer-
ed to a committoo to confer with the
Democratic and silver Republican
parties in their national conventions.
A motion to this effect was defeated by
a vote of 2G8 to 492.
Both candidates were nominated by
acclamation, but before tho result was
reached various candidates were placed
in nomination ana their names suc
cessively withdrawn. Both nomina
tions were accomplished amid scenes
of enthusiasm.
Mr. Bryan's nomination was made
by acclamation and was accomplished
with expedition and tact. There were
not to exoeed half a dozen speeches in
his behalf. All these were brief and
pointed and were full of praise for
the candidate.
The proceedings of the second day
of the convention began at 9:45 o'clock
Thursday morning with Chairman
Ringdale presiding.
The committees on credentials pre
sented its report, which was adopted,
declaring that there were no contest
ing delegations and recommending
that the vote of Missouri be increased
by two votes, Ohio by two and South
Dakota by three.
After the report of the commute on
rules aud order of business had been
presented a recess was taken to await
the report of committee on platform.
At 3:10 o'clock in the afternoon the
platform committee report arrived and
it was read by Committeeman Gillette,
of Iowa.
The financial plank closed as fol
lows:
"We reaffirm the demand for the re
opening or the mints oi tne united
States to the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold at the present
ratio of 16 to 1, the immediate increase
in the volume of silver coins and cer
tificates thus created to be substituted,
dollar for dollar, for the bank notes
issued by private corporations under
Bpecial privilege granted by the law of
March 14, 1900, and prior national
banking laws, the remaining portion of
the bank notes to be replaced with full
legal tender government paper money
and its volume so controlled as to
maintain at all times a stable money
market and a stable price level.
The financial plank of the platform
was received with wild cheering. Cries
of "Good," "Good," greeted the de
nunciation's Philippine policy and the
Porto Rican tax. Wheu that portion
of the plank extending sympathy to
the South African republics, denounc
ing any alliance with foreign powers
was reached the convention broke into
wild applause. The platform was
adopted without a dessenting vote.
It was moved that the new national
committee bo made the committee on
conference with the national Demo
cratic and silver Republican parties,
the committee to have plenary pow
ers. Tne motion was carried unani
mously. .
A motion that Permanent Chairman
Patterson, with a committee of his own
appointment, andTemporary Chairman
Ringsdale and a similar committee, be
appointed to notify W. J. Bryan and
Charles A. Towne of their nominations,
was also unanimously agreed to.
The convention then adjourned sine
die.
Charles Towne was born in Ingham
county, Michigan, near the city of
Lansinr, forty-one years ago. He is a
trraduate of Ann Arbor. Mr. Towne
moved to Duluth in the spring of 1890.
He has always taken an active interest
in politics aud until the free silver agi
itation in 1896 was a staunch Repub
can.
GOYERXOK IS ON HAND.
Chief Executive of Missouri I Watching
Ulg Strike In St. Lnuli.
Governor' Stephens arrived in St.
Louis Thursday and registered at the
Southern hotel. With him came At
torney General Crew and Insurance
Commissioner O'Read. The governor
stated he had come to St. Louis to
personally look over the strike situa
tion and confer with the police board
as to the best means of suppressing
outbreaks. He had no definite plans
for controlling these outbreaks, how
ever. Governor Stephens feared that if
the Transit compauy attempted to op
erate its lines serious trouble might
ensue.
POPULISTS
Middleof-Roaders Nominate
Messrs, Barker and
Donnelly.
A Cincinnati dispatch soys: Wharton
Barker, of Pennsylvania, for president
and Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota,
for vico president, is the ticket placed
in the field by what is commonly
known as the middle-of-the-road Pop
ulist party, but which, according to
the leaders of the movement, is the
one and only People's party.
The election of Barker was made
unanimous.
Without a dissenting voice Ignatius
Donnelly was declared vice president
ial nominee.
The convention was called to order
at 8:30 a. m., Thursday, with Colonel
W. L. Peek, of Georgia, in the chair.
Chairman Felter then read the plat
form formulated by his committee. Jo
A. Parker, of Kentucky, offered an
additional plank opposing trusts and
favoring public ownership of public
utilities, which was adopted after an
extended debate. The platform was
then adopted by practically unanimous
vote. It reads as follows:
"The People's party of the United
States, assembled in national conven
tion this 10th day of May, 1900,
affirming our unshaken belief in the
cardinal tenets of the People's party as
set forth in the Omaha platform, and
pledging ourselves to continued advo
cacy of those grand principles of hu
man liberty until right Bhall triumph
over might and love over greed, do
adopt and proclaim this declaration of
faith:
"1. We demand the initiative and
referendum and the imperative man
date for such changes of existing fun
damental aud statute laws as will en
able the people in their sovereign ca
pacity to propose and compel the en
actment of such laws as they desire;
to reject such as they deem injurious
to their interests and to recall un
faithful public servants.
2. We demand the public owner
ship and operation of those means of
commuuicatiott, transportation and
production which the people may
elect, such as railroads, telegraph and
telephone lines, coal mines, etc.
"3. The land, including all natural
sources of wealth, is a heritage of the
people, and should not be monopolized
for speculative purposes, and alien
ownership of land should be prohib
ited. All land now held by railroads
and other corporations in excess of
their natural needs and all lands now
owned by aliens should be reclaimed
by the government and held for actual
settlers only.
"4. A scientific and absolute paper
money, based upon the entire wealth
and population of the nation, not re
deemable in any specific commodity,
but made a full legal tender for all
debts and receivable for all taxes and
publio dues and issued by the govern
ment only without the intervention of
banks, and in sufficient quantity to
meet the demands of commerce, is the
best currency that can be devised; but
until such a financial system is se
cured, which we shall press for adop
tion, we favor the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at the
legal ratio of 16 to 1.
"5. We demand the levy and col
lection of a graduated tax on incomes
and inheritances and a constitutional
amendment to secure the same if nec
essary." "6. We demand the election ot
president, vice president, federal
judges and United States senators by
direct vote of the people.
"7. We are opposed to trusts and
declare the contention between the
old parties on the monopoly question
is a sham battle and that no solution
of this mighty problem is possible
without adoption of the -principles of
publio ownership of publio utilities."
After electing Jo A. Parker chair
man of the national committee, the
convention, after having been in ses
sion continually, withthe exception of
twenty minutes' recess from 8:30 a. m.
to 4:40 p. in., adjourned sine die.

convention held two sessions in Nash
ville Thursday, and when it took a re
cess until 8:30 p. m. had disposed of
the larger part of the tusiness before
it.
While the attendance and the inter
est was unusually large there was a
practical lack of contests and the pro
ceedings were harmonious to the point
of tameness.

committee that Congressman Rice
Pierce be temporary chairman was
satisfactory to the Carmack men and
no contest was made.
- The suggestion by the committee on
permanent organization of Congress
man J. W. Gaines for permanent
chairman was unanimously adopted.
Every speech made in the conven
tion was auti-iniperialutic, favoring a
reaffirmation of the Chicago platform
and the renomination of W. J. Bryan
and denunciatory of the Porto Rico tar
iff and trusts.

Richardson, of Davidson, were elected
alternates.
During the morning session of the
convention Admiral Dewey, who
was on a visit to Nashville, made a
formal call on Governor McMillin,
but declined to go into the convention
hall because, he said, his visit south
was purely social and he desired to
avoid anything that would give it a
political look.
