MISSISSIPPI MOVING.

All Good Citizens OF That state Are Re-
quested to Fall In Line With the Re-
formers.
A ringing call has been issued from
West Point, Miss, for a state conven-
ton of the peoples party to assemble in
June at Jackson. Those who are dis
posed to doubt the sincerity of the peo-
pie of Mississippi should read the fol-
lowing appeal:
To All the Good Citizens of Mississippi:
Pursuant to provisions made by the
great conference of farmers and indus
trial unions held in St Louis on the 22d
of February, 1892, the national central
committee of the peoples party for
Mississippi, at meeting held at West
Point on the 23d day of April, 1892, re-
solved that a state convention be con-
vened in the hall of the house of repre-
sentatives at jackson and Wednesday,
the 22d day of June, be fixed as the
day for the people of the sew
eral counties to meet and select
their delegates, who are In each
county to be the double the number of
its representatives in the lower house
of the legislature. Mention is called
particularly to the notice required to be
given by county committees in regard
to the selection of delegates to state
conventions The laws recently enacted
concerning elections should be strictly
followed.
We call upon all good citizens of Mis-
sissippi, regardless of former party affil-
iations, who have the best interests of
the state at heart, who are tired of the
deceit, the incompetency and the vio-
lated pledges of the two old political
parties-an who are sick of false pre-
tensions, false promises, of continually
receding hopes and constantly darkeIr-
ing prospects-to join US in the great
movement of the people torelieve them
selves from their unhappy condition.
We ask all good citizens who stand
appalled, at the utter and inevitable
ruin now flowing over the land from
the ceaseless source of reckless partisan
devices and the rule or ruin policies of
| the two old parties; all who are dis
| gusted with the combination which
they have finally made against the
dearest and most vital interests of the
great mass of the people; all who are
disheartened and indignant at their
practical blending into one for the pur-
pose of defeating all measures looking
to the reduction of taxes, the suppress
ing of monopolies and the increase of
the circulating medium, to buckle on
their armor and help us
We invoke the aid of all good citizens
who are in favor of a just, impartial and
| economical government, emanating
from the people, administered for them
and controlled by them in the interest
and for the prosperity and happiness of
the owners of the soil, and the sweat
ing brows of honest earning; the hon.
est, intelligent and long-suffering labor
that produces the wealth and the worth
OF the land, but which is now robbed of
its just reward by a discriminating
legislation and the practical conspira-
cies of the two old parties, banded to-
gether and virtually pledged to the
same policy under the influence of Wall
street and the money power of the
north.
We entreat all good men to join us in
this great movement of the people to
save what is yet left to them of the land,
OF liberty and of living from the grasp
OF gold bugs, money lenders, monop-
olists, Office holders and Office seekers.
We call upon all who are willing to
stand up once more for the rights of
manhood; who desire to tread once more
the prosperous soil of freemen, and
who wish to secure to themselves and
their children the blessings intended
for them by Heaven, but of which thew
are deprived by the intrigues of avarice
and the two old parties, to act with us.

prejudice and poverty, turn your backs
alike upon the frowns and blandish-
ments of those who would still be your
masters, and come and sit down bv the
great, wide, warm, friendly freside of
the people, and may God help us to re-
deem our country and restore it to a
state OF happiness and prosperity.
