McKnight of the People’s Party executive com mittee has iisued a call for a state con vention in Atlanta on April 10th. The decision to hold a middle-of the-road convention, it is understood, is the outcome of the split in the na tional Populist committee at its session recently held in Omaha, where the di vision resulted in the selection of one city for the convention by the fusion Topulistß and another City by tho niiu uie-oi-the-road Populists. Prior to that time there was no evidence that the Populist party would be divided, but since then tho Populists in several states have issued calls for state con ventions for . tho purpose of selecting delegates to one convention or tne other. Following is the call issued by Chairman McKnight: Tho Populists of the state of Georgia aro hereby called to meet in state con tion at the capitol building in the city of Atlanta on Tuesday, Aprill 10th, (second Tuesday), 1900, at 11 o’clock n. m., for the purpose of electing del egates to the Middle-of-the-Road Pop ulist National convention, which meets at Ciucinnatti, 0., on Wednes day, May 9, 1900. And to nominate candidates for governor and other state house officers, and to attend to such other business as may properly come before the convention. The representation shall be two del egates from each county for each rep resentative in the lower house of the Georgia legislature. Let the county chairman of each county and tho Populists and reform ers everywhere throughout the state go to work with a will and make this the largest and most enthusiastic meet ing we havo ever held in the state. We urge those counties that have not yet done so to call meetings at once and make preparations to attend the convention in large numbers. If we expect to w in this groat battle we must prepare to make a vigorous fight in every county and precinct throughout tho state. Bo go to work at once. This February 21, 1900. S. J.
