WAYNE COUNTY CONVEN-
The Sub Treasury Bill and Other
Alliance Demands IncOrpOra-
ted in the Platform.
The first gun of the campaign
of 1890 was fired in Wayne
county on last Saturday. The
influence of the farmer through
the Alliance and the Alliance
through the Democratic party
was closely indicated in the plat
form adopted by the convention
of that county. The following,
as given by the Argus, are some
of the planks of the platform
that was unanimously adopted:
2. That we deplore the continuance
in power of the sectional Republican
party, with its train of evil cOnse-
quences which have ever marked its
sway, with its partisan legislation,
its ruinous fnanC ial policy and its
unjust and iniquitous tariff laws, and
pledge our united efforts to drive it
from power.
3. That we favor equal and exact
justice 10 all men, and we deplOre
the fact that the Republican party
has been, during its entire course,
under the control and influence of
the moneyed classes of the North
and always responsive to their de-
mands, and against the interests of
the great body Of the peOple--main-
tanning its influence by the most
bareEacad fraud and brihory
4, That we favor the free and un-
limited coinage of silver.
), That we favor the removing OF
the federal tax on State bonds.
&; That we faver a change in the
principle and amount of taxation; a
change that will lower taxes not
only to a revenue basis, but even
lower, and make up any efficiency
in revenue by = graduated income
tax; in other words we demand a
system of taxation that will not bear
more heavily upon the poor than the
rich, but which will be just to all
our citizens.
I, That we favor the abolition OF
the National banking system and the
substitution of better system that
will take the control of the money
of the country out of the hands OF
the lew; system that will give Us
an elastic and flexible currency, one
that will contract and expand exact
ly with the anrual products of the
country, thereby furnishing a JUS
and fixed measure of their value
and that the sub-Treasury bill lately
introduced in both Houses of Con
gress comes more nearly effectins
this than any other measure ye
offered, and that we approve of ant
endorse saiG bill.
They were unanimously adop
ted amid much enthusiasm. On
call of the convention, Mr.. G.. B
Aycock came forward to speal
to .he resolutions. He neve1
appeared to better advantage
: He made one Of those logical
forceful and ringing speeches
which a. great many people o
this section seem to think h
only can make. The people o
, Wayne have always been preut
of Mr.. Aycock, but we 5eliev
they were. at the conclusion o
; his speech, prouder than eve
of him.
After his speech the follow
ing resolution was unanimousl,
adopted:
"The Democratic County COnver
tion of Wayne county, proud of til
abilities and character of Charles b
Aycock, Esq, of Wayne county, an
recognizing him rs eminently quail
fed to represent this district in Cor
gress, do hereby endorse and recon
, mend him for nomination for Cor
gress from the 3ri District"
