aud the true Democratic party of tho
country" lIo welcomed all, no matter

might have been, and then alluded ia
the wonderful campaign madchy Butler
last year, Notwithstanding NIL the oppo-
Sition concentrated upon him 10y the self
constituted leaders of tho Democratic
party, the press aud the pulpit. These
self constituted leadCrS-sald Drink
water-ask rs 10 follow them this year
when they admit they were wrong last
wear. IL IL mere presumption To say 10
the representatives of the Peoples Party
that they arc wrong in advocating the

The platform of this first convention
Of the peoples Party" found prema-
ture publication and therefore was
neither crisp nor fresh when read to the
assembled delegates. The platform is
in harmony with the declaration Of
principles made at indianapolis and
with the letter of acceptance of Butler;
also with his subsequent speeches. The
committee on resolutions, however,
gave measure of neWness of the origi-
nal proclamation by adding thereunto
resolutions reatlirming the platform of
Butler at Chicago, demanding the law
making employers liable for accidents
caused by neglect to supply appli-
ances for safety from machinery
and fire. Also Il resolution demanding
the enforcement Of the national eight
hour law and the State ten-hour law,
and frequent payment of employees by
corporations. Also a resolution de-
handing the repeal of the tax qualitica-
ton of voters, and the repeal of all UNI
method of registration and the enact
nient of the secret ballot law. The o
vention having finished its labors, Gen.
Butler entered and delivered his adj
dress.
