RESOLUTIONS.
ResOlued: That we heartily endorse
the platform adopted and the ticket
nominated by the first National con-
ventiOn of the Peoples Party i'm the
Convention held at Omaha, Neb., July
4, 1892.
Resolued: That it is the sense of
this convention that our State ticket
and platform are worthy the support
of every good citizen, irrespective of
party.
ResOlUed: That we denounce as
false and untounded the assertion that
the Peoples party has ruined or in
jured in any way the credit of Kansas;
but we do hereby declare it as our de-
liberate conviction that the subsidized
Republican press of the State did for
a time impair the credit of the State
by representing to the world that one
half of our people were either fools or
regulators.
ResOLUed That we extend our SYM
pathy and support to all labor organ
izations, and especially to those labor
ers at Homestead, Pa, their widows
the unlawful Pinkerton Plugs, and we
condemn as un-American the organ
iZation and use of PinkertOn in the
strongest terms.
The committee on order of business
presented their report, which was
