meeting assembled at the court
house in Haley, at which the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas, We recognize the free
coinage of silver as being by far
the most important question now
agitating the public mind; an issue
fraught with vast good, or untold

deepest regret, the fact that the
leaders and their blind followers in
the two great political parties with
which the most of US, for years,
have been and are still affiliated)

accompanying spoils of Office, than
they do upon the public veal; and
Whereas, In view of this fact, we
believe that the time has now come
when every voter in the nation
should rise to the dignity of an
American citizen and make haste
to assert his independence IF any

that every wealth-producer in the
union, be he employer or wage

exhausted both our confidence and
our patience; therefore, be it

notice that we will not be bound by
the action of either of those con-
