was about equal with the Democratic.
We believe that
A Fair Count

would have shown similar conditions
throughout the state. These frauds
and irregularities in the state referred
TO. though local, are yet matters worthy
of the serious consideration of the peO-
pie of the whole United States.
The deplorable condition of affairs
cannot be remedied from without. The
solution must come from the people
within these states. supported by a
healthy public sentiment everywhere,
and we believe 1t to be the duty of all
people, without regard to section, to
stand by these people of the South who
have risen up to demand good govern
ment and honest elections.
After an experiment of many years
1t is apparent that neither the Republic
an party nor the Democratic party can
or will accomplish the much-desired
end, TO wit: The restoration of the bal
lot to a fair and honest basis in the
states of the Union. The Peoples party
alone can secure the desired end. If
the people of the whole country who
desire honest elections and the repeal of
class laws will rally to the support
OF this great Industrial movement and
place the party in power under whose
banner white people of the South are
now marShaling themselves, this veXed
question will be settled forever. 1t is
certain that the people of the South
Will Not Join
the ranks of the Republican party. 1t
is equally certain that the Republicans
will not unite with the Democratic
party. The Peoples party affords the
only solution of these important mat
tiers,
All who desire the revival of business,
all who wish for the return of prosper
ity to our country, all who desire to
relieve the depressed industries and
wage workers of our common country,
all who desire an adequate increase of
our currency and the free coinage of
silver, all who desire the aboli-
ton of banks of issue and the
constitutional CONT oil OF the great in
struments of commerce by the govern
meDt of the United States; all who de-
sire that the laws of taxation shall be
equitably adjusted to the property of
the country; all who desire that the
public domain shall be sacredly held in
trust for the people: all who desire that
the states shall be rendered subServient
to the popular good, and, finally, all
who desire the restoration of fraternity
among the people and the obliteratiOn
OF sectional animOSitieS should at once
regard it as their conscientious duty to
align themselves under the banner of
this great Industrial and fraternal move
ment.
1t seems to us to be quite impossible
that the liberty and justice-loving peO-
pie of this country should longer
Cast Their BALLOTS
for the corporations ami money chang
erS. 1t would seem impossible that they
should refuse to make common cause
with the fair-minded majority of the
people of the South, who have risen up
10 demand Justice and good government
in their respective sites. And it fur
ther seems quite impossible that the
producers and laboring people of the
United States shall deliberately 90 to
the polls in November and cast their
votes in harmony with the corporations
and money power who have systemati-
cally and cruelty robbed them for so
many years. vote in harmony with their
despoilers who made war against them
even their right to organize for the pro-
lection of themselves and families.
With the aggreSsionS of capital on the
one hand. and the overthrow by fraud
of free elections on the other, how is 1t
possible for our civilization to last?
The new party has its face turned to the
glorious future; its sublime mission is
to issue in an era of fraternity and JUS
tice among men. In the presence of
such an opportunity to emancipate our
country from the miSrule of every kind,
let party lines be forgotten and let the
generous flame of a common patriotism
nerve every heart and move every soul.
