"SPARE
the advertisement
and SPOIL the
business."
This is *Lthe course adopted
during warm weather by
thousands who would not en-
joy being informed that they
were anything but clear-
headed managers.
It is, however, a fact that
those nervy men who use
advertising space in abund-
ance during the summer
months secure business
which would not otherwise
be theirs.

It may be the old-fashion-

certainly should not be done
now on any such antiquated
basis. Live men are learn-
ing pretty fast that those
who advertise obtain the
trade, and those who desire
to secure trade all the year
round must advertise in the
summer as well as during
the balance of the year.

Nacogdoches, Tex., Sept. 5—
This is the fifth day of the con-
vention. It began with the 6Q0th
ballot standing Long 35, Sexton
39. Several more ballots showed
only slight changes in Shelby,
Angelina and Nacogdoches, these
being unstable. The 735th ballot
stood, Long 34, Sexton 40. Re-
cess of 10 minutes, The next
ballot stood, Long 4H, Sexton
321; 744th, Long 44, Sexton 30.
Afternoon Session—Long 41,
Lexton 33. The 777th ballot,
same result. Thirty minutes' re-
cess. The 790th ballot: Long 34,
Sexton 40; 825th, A. W. Gregg re-
ceived 9 votes, Long and Sexton
about equal. Gregg requested
the convention not to consider his
name. The 830th ballot: Long
and Sexion no change. Adjourn-
ed for supper.
After supper the 836th stood:
Long 37, Sexton 37, omitting awk-
ward fractions. The reports here-
tofore have made some slight
omissions and inaccuracies. E.
A. Blount was never nominated
as stated. Oherokee county voted
against her candidate, Long, on
one or two ballots, believing him
out of the field. A misunder-
standing should have been ex-
plained. The idea that Long
would be the general seoond
choice has evaporated* So one
of the four candidates has so for
proved more available than any
other and of the several rumored
dark horses none has appeared to
break the lock. The number of
delegates is reduced to a few
from each county and all are tired
out On the 848th ballot Shelby
voted 5 votes for James I. Per-
kins and San Jacinto 1 for H. B.
Short, Long 34, Sexton 34.
Adjourned for 30 minutes.
John B. Long was withdrawn
by Douglass of Jefferson county
and S. B. Cooper of Tyler county
was again placed before the con-
vention by O'Brien of Jefferson
county and seconded by Robinson
of San Jaointo county. The 851st
ballot stood: Cooper 53 32-39,
Sexton 20 7-39.
On motion of Harrison county
the nomination was made unani-
mous.
Mr. Cooper was called, and he
eloquently and warmly thanked
the convention. Stark of Harri-
son made a rousing and electrify-
ing speech in favor of the nomi-
nee and of democracy, promising
bis county's support.
Ajoory R Starr of Harrison
was elected ohairman of the dis-

GENERAL FIELD AT BAN ANTONIO.
San Antonio, Sept 5.—The va-
rious trade organizations of this
oity and the farmers' alliance of
the surrounding section of the
county celebrated labor day in an
enthusiastic manner. Abbout
3000 people participated. It was
largely in the nature of a people's
party event all the speakers be-
ing men of that political persua-
sion and were warmly received.
The orators of the day were Gen.
J. G. Field, the people's party
candidate for vice president, and
Judge T. L Nugent, who is that
party's nominee for governor of
Texas. Addresses were also de-
livered by Gen. H. E. McOulloch
and others.
General Field reviewed the
condition of the laboring classes
at some length, and discussed the
national platform of the third
party. He frequently referred to
the late war between the north
and south. In the course of his
speech he said: M Why was it that
foi the first two or three years af-
ter we came home from the war
we made the southladd like the
rose f Mr. Yank up north there
had made money out of our mis-
fortune, but he had come down
here and got our cotton and our
money end in two or three years
we had his money and he was
wealing oar cotton and eating our
pork. There was plenty of mon-
ey in the south then and we soon
recuperated our lost fortunes and
were prosperous. Why is it that
you can't find a Yank today that
wants to buy land in Texas f It
Is because there is no money.
The government has burnt ft op
and Increased the amount of oar
indebtedness."
Judge Nugent made an able i
talk aad was loudly applauded. |
He made his regular campaign
speech here tonight
LABOa DAT.
Fort Worth, Tex., Sept 5.—To-
day the population of Fort Worth
was temporarily inoreaoed by the
presence of at least 400 people
who are in sympathy with the
principles set forth in the people's
party platform. They came from
the forks of the creek and brought
their fomaiies with them. From
thd immediate vicinity of Fort
Worth the horny-handed sons of
toil arrived in vehicles of svery
description, including the old-
time canvass-oovered wagons
whioh wound their way over the
broad prairies of Texas before the
advent ot the railway corporations,
whioh the followers of General
Weaver now propose to appro-
priate. Their leader was here,
and at an early hour the streets
were crowded with his admirers.
The labor organizations of Fort
Worth were busily engaged in
making preparations for the pro-
posed labor day parade and there
was a general feeling of expecta-
tion as to how fully the various
trades unions would be repre-
sented.
Owing to a misunderstanding
which was afterward satisfactorily
explained the reception of Gener-
al Weaver, advertised to take
plaoe at the chamber of commerce,
was held in the parlors of the ho-
tel Piokwick, where the distin-
guished ex-congressman shook
hands with several hundred call-
ers.
At 10 o'clock the procession,
which had been in process of for-
mation on the streets leading to
and about the public square,start-
ed south on Houston street in the
folio wins order:
First Division — Oity police,
mounted, under command of First
Assistant Marshal L'ghtfoot;
Grand Marshal Thomas Harring
ton and Aldermen Drake and Til-
ler as aids; band; Fort Worth
Fendbles; Mayor Paddook and
members of the oounoil in car-
riages; fire department, under
Chief Bell and Assistant Chief
Oella.
Seoond Division—Band, follow-
ed by the Central labor union,
stonecutters, stonemaaons, brick
layers, carpenters, painters and
decorators, telegraphers, cigar
makers and firemen, trainmen,
stationary engineers, Typographi
cal union, Pressmen's union, iron
molders, machinists, boilermak
ers.
Third Division—Knights of La-
bor, farmers' alliance.
The line of march was south on
Houston street to Front, thence
to Main, and countermarch north
on that thoroughfare to the oourt-
house, paseing in review before
General Weaver and other promi
nent visitors and citizens who
had taken a position on the gal
lery in front of the Piokwiok ho-
tel. There were about 2000 peo-
ple in line. The procession was a
very creditable one.
After the procession disbanded
the people began to make their
way to Riverside Park to hear the
leader of the new party, who was
advertised to addreas the artisans
and mechanics and those who till
the soil and make up the great
farmer community of the state.
General Weaver's arrival upon
the ground created no particular
enthusiasm, yet when be took s
position on the speaker's stand he
received a hearty welcome. Hob.
S. H. B. Ashby, or uStump, as he
is fomiliarty referred to, called the
gathering to order and introduced
Mayor Paddock, who made the
welcoming address.
At this moment there were
about 750 people seated in front
of the speaker's stand and they
represented the people's party
followers from Tarrant, Boeque,
Jack, Johnson, Wise and other
oounties adjacent to Fort Worth.
Mayor Paddock said: "As the
chief executive officer of the city
I tender to you the good will of
our city and hope that you will
have an harmonious meeting and
enjoy yourselves to the fullest
extent while here. I shall not
drift into politics, as I am sure
you will get enough of thai, be-
fore you get through. [Laughter.]
"I congratulate the people of
Texas that they ere taking auch a
deep interest in politios this year,
as it indioates to my mind that
when the people take a hand the
country is safe. It looks to
as though we would have
polities this year, and that the
people are not disposed to plaoe
