President of the Pole Bearers.
In their preamble and resolutions they say,
eve are fully aroused to consciousness that
we have been for years dupes of crafty, de-
signing, unprincipled men, whose only object
was their own personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, ire
spective of the means or results to our injury.
Be it resolreol, That embracing the honest
and truthful advice of our late friend Thomas
Swan, we now and forever shake off those
unwarranted fears that have been created and
used as bugaboo upon the minds OF our
simple people.
They have shorn us of our pecuniary accu-
mutation, the result Of our weary years OF toll
even to pennies accumulated by our youth
and fedgings. All this we could bear, but
they have left us despised by our only true
friends through their knavish representations
and unmitigated falsehoods.
Our experience in this direction, for which
we have amply paid, invites change on our
part !; therefore, invoking the sheltering aegis
Of Almighty God, in whose goodness. mercy
and wisdom we trust for our future guidance
We are at last convinced that they were the
fiction of political incendiaries who have sac

And we now pledge ourselves representatives
of our societies henceforth to sever affinity
and past relations with all men whose only
value resulted in plumber and strife.
We regret the blindness of the past that has
alienated the kind feelieg of our true friends
and in our effert to improve the future, We
pledge our faith mutually to each other, and
to whom it may con Germ, that hereafter we will
sustain no man for Office unless he be
thoroughly identified with the people OF the
soil, and in full truthful accord with our earnest
desire to cultivate peace, harmony and in
dustrial value among the races now seques-
tered by vile, pernicious teachings.
