as follows:
The Peoples PARTY Of sal. lake
County IN convention assembled. July
-, 1880, hereby adopts the following
resolutions:
I've endorse and ratify the declar-
alton Of principles made py the Peo-
PIES Party IN February last As fol-
lows;
DECLARATION or PHTNCIFIE~.
Tie basis OF free government IS the I
right OF the PEOPLE TO govern them ,
selves,
Tho object OF the Teter;. Cons,i.u- |
ton is 10 secure : fee government to I
the people q the United States,
wherein I'll people shall he protected I
m ne, liberty and property, and in
me enjoyment Of every right essen
tial TO their happiness, and not inc0u-
sistent with the rightsof others.
We regard the Constitution as 4 sa-
cred charter OF human liberty: We re-
ere Its principles and declare our I'M
waverIng allegiance 10 the govern
menE and laws made in pursuance Of
its provisions.
The Peoples party has always up
held these principles. II has mann
tanned the right OF local self-gu-orl-
msnt. II has cOnteuded Tor the free
dom and purity % elections II has
class legislation. Il has pro-
NOTED honesty ia all branches O. the
rablic service. U he's maintained
before tire law. i mas been
By Justice, prudence
and fcetitv, Taxation has been uni
form and lower in Utah than in any
ether Territory. There have been no
salaries. no JObbeTieS, no Z
schemes FOR great bonded debts. Life
and property have been secure, NOR
aliiy has been f0s.ered and vice re-
pressed. II - the party Of conscrya-
tive progress commensurate with pub
lie necessities aud resources.
NfpO>ed 10 the Peoples Party Is the
=elf-styled Liberal party. which
processes 70 veneraie the Constitution
while violating its fundamental truths z
Il arrOgates to its members the hon I
0red name Of Americans while seek
.n- 10 deprive a large class Of Ameri-
an citizens Of the substantial rights
Through Iis persistent mis-
the right Of trial by
Jury has been abridged and Almost
destroyed in this territory. By pro :
curing uuTepuhlican test oG;1s and
other prOscriptive legislation It has
fisfanchised many citizens because
they would not support its men and
measures. For this cause only, Il has
succeeded IN rObhing the women Of
Utah OF the elective franchise after
hey had exercised Il FOR fifteen years.
Il ms endeavored 10 supplant q lagis- I
lature elected icy the people with
commission appointed by the Federal
Government. It has sought To exec.
an insuperable barrier OF prejudice =

all persons who belong to that religious

worthy Of the support Of any Just.
liberal and patriotic citizen.
We believe that the supremacy Of
the Liberal party means class disfrdn-
excessive taxation, official
extravaganza, and laxity IN public
social regulations. and that the SUI
premacy Of the Peoples party means
equality before the law, reasonable
taxes official honesty and prudence,
and the maintenance Of the proud re-
OF tho people FOR law and
order. J. II. PAUL,
Chairman Committee on Resolutions.
The platform was adopted without
or debate.
The chair then announced that |

order, wEereupOn J. II. Moyle stated
that no doubt the members Of this |

lau been done the previous evening
by the wOrkingmen's convention, |
and with the ticket it had framed.
With the understanding that the
name Of J. l. RaWlins be substi-
'tituted on that ticket for that Of J.
II. Hurd, rs candidate for county .
attorney, he moved the ADOPTION Of
he following resolution:
