Peters Wins Populist Nomination for Congress in Ottawa
The Second district Populist convention met in Ottawa in the old opera house with Hon P P Elder as temporary chair and A E Macoubrie and J E Latimer as secretaries. Nominations placed M S Peters of Wyandotte as the final nominee after eight ballots, praised for his laboring-class ties and anti-money-power stance. The Democratic convention likewise chose Peters after Bishop withdrew, while McKinley was nominated by Republicans on a gold platform, prompting strong silver-opposition commentary and calls that the party lines would not hold.
