The new platform is strong indict-
ment OF the republican policy and it
steals good deal of democratic thumb
err. 1t is unusually free from isms and
1t is plain and straightforward. 1t
makes the third party an important
factor in the fight Of 1892.-Omhaa

The Cincinnati Convention, and the
similar convention preceding and to
follow it, are signs of danger to the mo-
nopoly party, to the trusts and to the
confederated plunderers of the people
generally. But they offer no discour-
agment to the friends of free, frugal
and honest government.-New York
World, (Dem.)
The forty policemen who have been
at Clark's thread mills in Kearney were
recalled to Jersey City yesterday.
They got six dollars day from the cor
poration besides their regular pay,
which brought their wages up to nearly
Sl0aday. They we're in Kearney ten
weeks. The corporation fed them well
with bottled ale.-N. Y. Sun.
The movement of the farmers in
politics is assuming superior impor-
lance. The mammonized magistrates of
this earth, reveling in the luxury OF
their festal halls like Nebuchadnezzar
of old, are slowly deciphering the
handwriting upon the wall that calls in
question their right and also their
power to rule longer over the humble
classes, out of whose pockets they
have grasped their unrighteous wealth.
The farmers as we'll as other classes OF
humble position are demanding recog-
milton of their interests by this govern
ment, and their voice must be heard
Rev. Fl. w. Tilden.
Well, the convention has been held.
It's work is over and the results are be-
fore the country. It was earnest, en-
thusiastic and harmonious; and from
which springs the name of the peoples
party, with all that the name implies,
political platform, characterized by
great discretion, the enunciation of in
dustrial reforms and the grand ultima
tum of free coinage: All this is elabor-
ated in due form and expression. But
the point which impresses us and at
tracts our special attention lies in the
fact that the prevailing spirit and ami
mating thought of the convention was
decidedly and unequivically western.
1t dominated its sentiment and action
throughout. 1t developed intelligence,
resolution, scope and courage. All of
which leads to the conclusion that the
time has come when it must be heard
with respect, and when its opinions and
conclusions must be met by the east
with fairness and just appreciation.
And hence it must now and henceforth
be understood, there is West. That
it means something and cannot be safely
ignored. Its development to the SUI
premest point is apparent Empire"
is the elimination, and to this it must
come at last.-The National Review.
The results OF the Cincinnati meeting,
are, that the reformers of the country
have met in mass meeting and unani-
mOusly agreed that the platform of the
farmers adopted at Ocala, including the
subtreasury plan, shall be the basis of
the great and inevitable reform fight
which is now on, and that they desire
to unite with the farmers and labOrers
to fight under that banner as peoples
political party in 1892; that they en-
dorse the platform but do not appropri-
ate it for political purposes until the
farmers shall have met in February,
1892, and decided what steps they will
take to enforce it. If they decide to en-
force it by political action, then the re-
formers will join in their convention
and help to inaugurate party and con-
duct the campaign, but should the farm
ers and laborers decide not to do that
then the reformers will call q national
convention not later than June /, 1892,
appropriate the platform and put their
ticket in the field. This ia emineptlv
