PEOPLES PARTY PLATFORM.

We, the representatives of the Peoples par
ty of Barber county, in delegate convention
/ assembled hereby heartily endorse the action
of the Cincinnati conference, believing tina,
the declaration put forth there is one of the
| most important events of the century, and we
invite the voters of Barber county to stand
with us for the overthrow of the combinations
| OF capital which have first forced one party
| and then the other to submit to their selfish
| demands.
| we present not merely theory, jefferson
| ian or Lineonian; but like those great states.
| men, we ask you to meet the conditions which
| confront you, and with their fearless states.
menship. Sink or swim, live or die" we have
unfucied our banner for go, emblaZoned with
the battle cry, Equal rights to all, and spe-
| clal privileges to none"
We condemn the action of our state senate
in obstructing reform measures demanded by
the people; and while we could not expect the
house, In single session, to reform all the
abuses which have grown up under republican
action for the past twenty-five years, we COM
mend them for what they did, and demand
that they sha ii continue in the good work till
it shall be fully accomplished.
We commend the efforts of the county of
GERS to enforce the law, and we believe tn
moral sentiment of the county condemns mock
trials at the expense of the people. We pledge
our candidates to be law abiding men, who will
not wink at crime or corruption, and we pledge
ourselves to ask the resignation of any one
found guilty of the same.
We demand an economical administration of
national, state and county affairs, and a strict
accounting for all money taken from the peo-
pie in the way of taxation. and we denounce
the boosted extravaganza of the recent billion
dollar congress.
We believe that the politics of the past has
become corrupt, and that a change will prove
beneficial, and thus believing we invite all
persons who are interested in the welfare Of
our state and county to unite with us in our
efforts to bring back the decalogue into poll
tics, and to prove that purity in politics is not
an iridescent dream.
We commend Judge Mckay for his firm
stand in administering the law without fear or
favor, and we denounce the spirit of dema-
gogy which has attempted to bring him into
reproach.

concerned, and calmly called the
