speech did he mention the Force bill.
We would ike to know what Senator
Matt. W. Ransom thinks Of this
kind of conduct Surely he must
feel a sting of COINCIDENCE since he
has spent bis time in riotOus living, /
and in trying TO scare some Of our
people out Of their wits, who were
simple enough to swallow his speech,
culls and all concerning the great
Force bill, and yet Mr. Cleveland did
not think it worth mentioning.
The hope of the laboring men IN
the North and South lies in the Peo- |
ple's party, which 10 the sworn enemy
of the economic policy which is max
ing an aristocracy Of plutoerats on
the one hand and millions Of indus
trail slaves eli the other. The Peo-
ple's party is the only party which
plutocracy is unitedly fighting. AS
long as monopoly in money; land and
transportation exists, plutocracy will
fatten on the life blood Of the farm
err, the miner and the mechanic, and
millions Of toiling people will year
by year fiEd themselves sinking deep
er and deeper in tho meshes OF hope
less serfdom.
Do You believe in the principles Of
the reform movement: If SO, you
can do work on next Tuesday that
will be more effective than any days
work you have ever done. The way
to get reform is to work for reform.
Then let every reformer spend all
day next Tuesday at the polls. Go
early and stay late. Work for votes
all day, for 1t is votes only that count.
Demands and resolutions are worth
nothing without votes. Now is the
time to make your work tell. Work
just as hard for every vote as if that
vote would save the election. Keep
cool, but don't be imtlmidated nor
bull-dozed and pay no attention to
any lying report that may he circu-
lated.
Go to the election next Tuesday.
Go early and stay all day, and work
all day, Remember that there will
not be day again in two years that
you can do as much for reform as on
next Tuesdav. Every man has some
influence, use it on that day. Work
| for every vote as if the election de-
pended on that vote. Remember
that the Legislature is very impor-
tant. Watch the Legislative boxes
and see that there is no stealing
there. Why do the Railroads furn-
ish money to the Democrats to ruu
their campaign? They will expect
their pay in laws passed in the Leg
islature. They know that the Peo-
pies party Will give them no special
fayors, but will see that justice is
done. The Railroads don't want
justice, they want special fayors and
expect to get them from d Demo
cratic Legislature. If you want
Railroads to pay taxes like you pay
and if you want an honest election
in the future then elect the nomi-
nees of tn: Peoples party to the Leg
islature. The Democrats are work
ing hard TO capture the Legislature
Go to work and beat them. The
people must have the next Lesisla'
ture.
