A Tissue of Untruths.

Even Mr.. Harrison's letter of accept
ance was a tissue of untruths almost
from beginning to end. If he is re-elect-
cd president it will be due principally to
the astute dissemination of falsehood by
the party managers. 1t is hard for the
Democrats to keep pace with these arts
tic untruths, but we have reason to be-
isve that the people have been pretly
thoroughly warned regarding the con-
templated receptions, and that they will
carefully sift all the statements made by
the Republican managers.-Memphis

Peoples Party at Wichita.
Resolved, That we, the representatives
of the Peoples party Of Kansas, in con-
vention assembled, ratlfy the st. Louis
preamble and platform OF principles of
February 22d, 1892, and reafirm every
sentence and line Of the same as fullyas
though set out herein, and we only de-
sire TO add to it by specializing and
emphasizing some Of the vital truths
therein expressed.
Resolved, That we believe all leg
islation should be directed to the end OF
securing TO the laborer the full fruits OF
his toll, and that the betterment OF his
condition, morally and intellectually,
should be alike purpose Of law. We
therefore denounce all monopolies OF the
products of labor, and all mOnopolies OF
the soil and other natural resources OF
the earth, Ike the minerals and coal,
and all elements of nature, like electric
lty, by the use Of which the human race
through labor subslsts.
Resolved, THAI we believe that gov
eminent only Is good where an injury to
one ls the concern Of all; that public
needs should be supplied by public
agencies, and that the people should be
served equally and alike; and that among
other things the government should pro-
vide public telephones and telegraph
lines, and a postal currency for con-
venlence In transmitting small sums OF
money, and that as nearly as practicable
the mail Of all the people be delivered
at their homes free.
Resolved, That we favor a liberal PEN
sion law, and law making good to the
old soldiers their loss by reason OF pay
ment for services in deprecated cur
rency, and that the government issue
United States notes, full legal tender, to
pay this difference.
Resolved, That we condemn the pres.
ent board Of railroad assessors for
their action In reducing the valuation oi
the property Of the railroads OF the state
whereby the burdens Of taxation already
imposed upon the people have been un
Justly increased; and we commend the
bold stand taken in congress by the SEN
ators and representatives of the People,
party in their determined fight against
monopolistlc corporations, and we here
By pledge to them our united support
and express our unbounded confidence
In their wisdom and ability.
Resolved, That we approve the wis

senators for non on-concurrence In tn

action of such house in passing bill pre-

Missouri screen law IS the law OF this

We condemn the betrayal OF the prom
lses Of the Republican party in Its plat
form Of 1890, by les representatives In the
senate, in defeating by non-action the
Australian ballot bill and the bill proVid-
Ing Ror the election of railroad commits
sloners by the people, both of which were
promised in It's platform, and we com
mend the action of the Peoples party
representatives In the lower house for
rAdeeming their promises TO US.
We commend the Peoples party repre-
sentlves In the lower house Tor the pas
sage of the bill making Plnkerton's
detective system amenable to law; and
for the passage of the bill prohibiting
the blackllsting and dlscharging OF cor
porate employees without an opportunity
10 be heard in their defense, and we con-
denim the Republican senate for failing
to pass such bills.
We also favor just and equitable PEN
sion laws for the benefit Of railroad en-
ployes who are injured In the company's
service, such pensions to be paid by the
companies, and to be first lien on their
property. We commend the Peoples
party representatives Of the lower house
at the last session in passing the maxi
mum freight rate bill, and condemn the
Republican senate for allowing the same
to die on It's calendar, confident Of the
fact that ie it had become law the in
terror cities of state, which are justly
complaining Of discrimination against
them by the railroads in favor Of Missouri
river points, would find the evil removed,
and we pledge the people In city and
country to remedy the same by legisla-
tlOn.
Resolved, That we favor the abolition
Of the system OF passes In general use by
