People’s Party convention adopts platform amid clashes
At Cincinnati on May 21 the first convention of the People’s Party of the United States adopts a platform with a prohibition plank in doubt, votes a three-member per state national committee, and elects El M Taubeneck as national chairman amid speeches by Ignatius Donnelly and Grover of Wisconsin. The gathering features fiery orations, a parade of ex-union and ex-Confederate soldiers joining hands, and a rousing pledge to depose the money power.
