aco, Tex , July 18.—The
dispatch was sent by
rter of the Associated
from Waco hut Thurs-
night and appeared the
morning in many paper*.
At a mass meeting of labor
to-night resolutions
were unanimously adopted
commending Debs and the
strike of the American Railway
union and criticising severely
Cleveland and Gen. Miles for
interfering with the struggle
now being waged. President
Higgins of the Waco Commer
cial club addressed the work-
iugmen urging them to closer
union and united effort, highly
eulogizod Debs and berated
the capitalistic oppressors."
A communication was hand-
ed to reporters by Mr. Riggins
in explanation of his labor
speech at the Workman's Mu
tual aid meeting as follows:

—The populist state conven
tion adopted a platform and
nominated a ticket today. D.
E. Barker of Drew connty, who
served six terns in the legisla-
ture as a democrat and was at
one time president of the sen
ate, was nominated for gover-
nor.
The remainder of the stats
ticket is as follows: Secretary
of state, & M. Beam, of White
connty ; anditor, A. J. Nichoie,
of Franklin connty; treasurer,
T. J. Andrews, of Cleburne
oounty; attorney general, Dr.
J. A. Meek, of Craighead ooun-
ty ; stale korit commissioner,
O. S. Jones, of Nevada county;
commissioner of agriculture,
8. 11. Nowlin, of Pulaski coun-
ty ; ruperintendent of public
instruction, J. H. Carnahan, of
Washington connty.
The platform says in part:
The events of the paet eighteen
months have demonstrated the
fact that the leaders of the dem
ocratic party are incompetent
and untrustworthy, because
they have followed in the foot-
steps of the republican party,
thus violating their pledges to
the people. The whole coun-
try is moved by such a general
state of unrest and disatisfac-
tion that we deem it our duty
to say that the people stand
appalled and look on with
amazement at the corruption
and extravagance of our gov-
ernment and public servants

Biographical Sketch of Hon. T. L.
Nugent.
Hon. T. L. Nugent, in re-
sponse to a request for his bi-
ography, says:
"My life has not been an
eventful one. Born in Opelou-
sas, La., July 16, 1841, gradu-
ated at Centenary College,
Jackson, La., in 1861, settled
permanently in Texas in 1862,
elected to the constitutional
convention of Texas in 1875,
appointed to office of district
judge in February, 1879, sub
sequently twice elected to the
same position without opposi-
tion. Resigned from this of-
fice in May, 1388, since which
time have been engaged in the
practice of law. Nominated in
1892 by the peoples party as a
candidate for office of govern-
or. These simple statements
conveys all of my life history
that any one need to know. I
have not sought to make histo-
ry, but to serve the people in
the interest of practical justice
and right—endeavoring meau-
while to keep my conscience
clear and to remain true to the
demands of duty. Having but
little, if any, taste for public
life, 1 shall willingly drop

with the business of one rail-

that the sympathy of the strik

special from Gnthrie, O. K,
says: News has reached here

about organized capital with
all its power and domineering

organized intluence. I did com
plimfnt Debs' article as patri
otic and free from demagogy.
I stated that the difficulties and
burdens the laborers* unions
had to carry were the rioters,
anarchists and it seems in the
late trouble at Chicago they
have had to bear the pilfering
of the deputy United States
marshals. 1 stated that oapi-

the mortar, both essential to a
lasting wall. 1 am in sympa-
thy with organized labor. I
am opposed to and against op-
pressive capital. I am not qp
posed to the wealthy simply
because it is wealth, nor do I
regard this movement as a fight
of labor against capital, but of
labor seeking utilization of
power to protect itself againat
the tyrannies and oppression
of the power of wealth and cap-
ital. My expreasions at the
meeting referred to here and
in my writings are the expres-
sions of a humble citizen aad

Commercial club. Very truly,
J. W. Riggixs."
The dispatch waa sent by
the representative at Waco of
the Associated Press, who says:
"I heard the address of Mr
Riggins. The fact that he wm

States. The reeclte of this ex-
periment are manifest on every
hand in the business depres-
sion of the oountry, labor
strikes and in general discon-
tent that everywhere prevails.
Congress will soon complete its
work, and the general situation
and the prospects before the
oountry will then be fully dis
closed.
"Some state elections, involv-
ing election of United States
senators have already been
entered upon, and the campaign
for the election of members of
the house of the fifty-fourth
congress will soon be begun,
In vie* of these conditions, tbe
executive oommitlee of the

thought it advisable to call a

Iu this modest manner Judge
Nugent briefly details his past
life. We wish to add that he
is one of God's own noblemen,
intelligent, true, and earnest.
He cast his lot with the plain
people of his country at a sac-
rifice, as everyone acquainted
with the circumstances knows.
He is the idol of reformers of
his state, and prominent among
reformers of the nation.—Pio
