which alone can be had when the people are
prosperous, when the laborer is fully paid,
and when there is a fair division Of the pro-
duetion eff enterprise and labor, can or ought
to hold.
ELECT CONGRESSMAN.
In many States if we exert our strength, we
already hold the balance OF power. In quite
one hundred Congressional districts, less than
one thousand votes will determine whether 8
friend of labor and the people, or the tool OF
monopoly shall have seat in Congress. Let
US organize, therefore, in every district, TO
see to it that no man goes to Congress from
any district who is not with US and OF US;
strong enough in moral rectitude to stand for
the rights Of the people, "Enawed by power
and unbought by gain"
ELECT STATE LEGISLATURES.
Again. in balanced States make an alliance
with whichever of the other parties Will
choose so to do. MinOrities naturally graYl-
tate toward each other. Give them some
State officers and take others to yourselves
upon an agreement that both parties shall
vote the same ticket. Be particular to see TO
it that your own friends are sent to the state
legislatures. There are many states where
laws are needed for the protection OF the
workingmen, the farmer and the merchant
against Oppressors and monOpOlles, and If
these viii stand together, they can get tn at
protection in spite Of the monopolist.
To the GreenbIck Labor party and the Anti
K0HOpOlist organization, and to the la6ori1'g
men:
had accepted the selection of your conven-
lions as candidate for President. Anxious for
the success Of the principles which you repre-
sent. in which, as you know, | so heartily con-
CURED. l presented, as you have learned, as
your representative, your platforms 10 the
Democratic Convention, in the nope. II IL
were possible, that they might be adopted and
made the rule of that party, which should be
composed of your friends aud allies.
For reasons that L have made apparent
your principles were rejected and your ALI
ance spurned.
To the Democratic Party Of Massachusetts,:
As your representative 1 carried the princl-
piles which you have twice over enunciated as
your platform in your State conventions, and
asked that they be adopted by the National
Convention.
The convention for reasons, and under cir
cumstances that have hereinbefore stated,
rejected your principles. spurned your plat
form, and instead of taking any statesman OF
the Democracy, nominated as your candidate
a entleman whom TWO years ago there were
not forty voters in your ranks knew lived on
earth. | cannot be bound by the action OF
such a convention, so regardless OF the inter-
ests of the people and OF Democratic usages,
and l so told that body.
Party allegiance carried to such extent Is
neither Democratic nor useful. Isshall, there
fore, unite myself with the labOring men and
the true Democracy of the country, to do my
endeaVOr with them to bring Dack the gov
eminent into control of the people, and IN
vite every good citizen, of whatever political
faith, to join the peoples Party" to purify
ana reform the ADMINISTRATOR auu I0Ol Cos
the wrongs done by oppressive legislation.
There are some who call them elves Demo-
Gratis that | would a little rather would not
come with us; they are not of us. To the
honest and fair minded Democrats who have
acted with me but now believe their duty lies
in an opposite direction l bid kindly pOlitl-
cal farewell until their conscientious patriot
ism shall bring them back in the near future
to labor with me again in the peoples cause,
admitting that if | saw not too wisely, saw
better than they did the necessity for change
from party TO country.
