They Nominate a Full State Ticket on a free Silver riatfortu. I)Lb Moines, Sept. The Populist tate convention held here was entirely harmonious. The attendance was up to the average of similar gatherings in recent years, about 3(0 accredited delegates being reported. A full atate ticket was nomin ated. The platform endorses the Omaha declarations and says there are only two parties the Peoples and the "Gold." Up on the distinctive state iseue of prohibi tion the platform is in favorof the present law until it can be succeeded by state or national control of the liquor traffic. The convention was called to order by Chair man R. G. Scott, of the state committee. The decorations consisted solely of charts and maps illustrating the distribution of wealth in the United States. Temporary Chairman J. M. Joseph, of Creston, spoke at length. The burden of his remarks was that the money kings control the old par ties; that they are but divisions of one "party, and destined to camp together soon. The tariff ia a humbug, he declared, and the so-called bimetallists are conspirators. His radical utterances in favor of ailTer as the money of the constitution" created the wildest applause. A. J. Westfall, of Sioux City, was made permanent chair man, and Alfred Wooster and Crawford Davis secretaries. The convention held a love feast with speeches and songs while a collection was made, and then the committee on resoliw tions, of which General James B. Weaver was chairman, reported standard Popu list resolutions, the keynote of which was that the "one overshadowing, all-absorbing issue before the American people to day is the question whether the debtors of tb United Bute shall be allowed to pay their debts iu tte money of the constitu- Latest U.
