BARBER COUNTY 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 that
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 Lincolnian; 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
unfurled our banner for '92 embazoned 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 shall 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 ecounty 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 boasted 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.

A man without hair on his bald

sat down on a chair.
"Shaye or hair cut, sir?" said the at

"a shave, please" was the answer.
When the shave was finished and the
bald-headed man left the customer
who was getting his hair cut in the
next chair said to the barber:
''Why did you ask that man if he
would have his hair cut? Did you mean
to insult him?"
"Oh, not at all, sir, was the answer.
'You see, it's like this: A bald-headed
man is rather sensitive on that point 1

The democratic league of Minnesota,
In ST Paul is reported to have resolved
to fuse with the Farmers Alliance on
the basis of free coinage of fsilver and a
tariff for revenue only. There are q

The members of the peoples party as a

They have better fish to fry. Besides
they cannot fuse with the democrats.

WE'LL SAID.

and Sam put an idea into the fellows
head much larger than he is in the hab-
it of carrying. The report of the inter-
view says:
Mr.. Small expressed himself as very well
pleased with all of Kansas that he has seen so
tar, and he thought the crops were looking
fine. 1t did not take much conversation with
the divine to discover that he was a pretty
good allianceman.
The question of crops coming up it was sug-
gested that the alliance wind-storm, born of
unrest ana poor crops would subside with the
coming Of an abundant harvest

trouble is not in the yield of his fields but in
the disposition of his products after they are
harvested.

JERRY SIMPSON.

Topeka Advocate: "Our friends, the
enemy, probably have more trouble
about Jerry Simpson than any other
man connected with the peoples party.
This shows that he is hurting them
somewhere. No person stops to kick
an insignificant little cur, no matter
how loudly he may bark. His antics
are amusing rather than dangerous.
But when the mastiff shows his teeth
and utters significant growl it means
business; and an attitude of defense is
assumed. So it is IN the intellectual
arena. Men of small caliber are not
feared however cratic or visionary
may be their course. 1t is when men
of marked ability appear in opposition
to popular and long accepted dogmas
that the bitterness and mallgnancy of
personal assault are resorted to, and
there is no man in public lite against
whom these methods have been pur-
sued more persistently than against
Jerry Simpson. He is misrepreSented,
lied about, caricatured and ridiculed as
no other man has been.
The latest demonstration against
him, like all former ones, is based upon
pure fiction, that had origin in the
fertile imagination of his political ad-
versarles. 1t is we'll known that MI.
Simpson with many others differed
from the majority of the delegates at
the Cincinnati convention with respect
to the time of organizing the new
party. This was simply a difference
of opinion as to time, and not as to the
ultimate purpose; and was a question
concerning which difference of opln-
ion was perfectly legitimate. No rea-
sonable or fair minded man would ques-
tion the motives or sincerity of any
man on account of it. Mr.. Simpsons
political opponents have seized upon
this circumstance, distorted its mean
ing, misrepresented his views, pervert
ed his statements, and pictured a great
revolt against him in the ranks of his
friends because of it. The Big Sey-
enth is represented as tired of its
representative, and the g. o. p. is al
ready looking ahead to his retirement
at the first opportunity. Although this
requires great stretch of the magma
ton. that particular faculty of the re-
publican organization does not seem to
be overtaxed in the effort to picture
such result.
1t need hardly be said to members of
the peoples party anywhere that there
is norevolt against Jerry Simpson. The
men who are associated with him in
this movement are constructed upon
broader guage than would be indicated
by revolt for such cause. The
representative from the Big Seventh
is as true to the new party as any man
in it, and will do as much for its sue
cess; and it is knowledge of this fact
that hurts his political adYersaries and
inspires their vile methods in OPPOSE
tion him."
