VenLlOn III hey UeSVlIle, 1ueSudyi
September 9th.

sey, of Bee Branch township.
Judge western district, j. E. Fog
gin, of Brunswick township.
Bee Branch, it will be seen, walked
off with three out of the eight nomi-

will stand high in the counsels of the
Peoples party.
The county central committee of
this new political monstrosity is COM
posed as follows:
Bee Branch...............W. P. Davis.

Cockrell. l................ Lewis Krager.

Yellow CreeG w. A. Gordon.
Salt Creek. w. Bartee.
Muscle Fork..............S. u. Thomas.
Jas. F. Smith was elected chair
man and Jas. f. Wilson was chosen
secretary of the central committee.
So far the committee only represents
nine out of the sixteen townships
in the county, but like the hen that
set on more eggs than she could COW
er, the Peoples party will have to
spread herself"
After passing the following resolu-
tions the convention adjourned SUBJ
ject to the call of the committee.
THE RES )LUTIoNs:
Whereas, experience has proven the
futility of undertaking to purify ei-
ther of the old political parties, when
it has been shown that both of them
are under the control of gold-bugs,
national banks, and various combi-
nations of corporations to the entire
ignoring oil the demands and inter
est of the whole people of the Unit
ed States, and,
| Whereas, these people have five
times iterated and reiterated, each
time with largely increased numbers,
certain demands, now known as the
Ocala demands, and the said work
ing people have submitted these de-
mands to both parties in congress;
first by delegation and since by
members of congress elected on
these demands, and congress has
treated these demands with con-
tempt and neglect, and,
Whereas, the representatives of ov
er seven millions of American cisizens
formed the Peoples party of the
United States at st. Louis, in Febru-
ary, 1892, and adopted platform
and declaration of principles con-
tanning all these demands, and,
Whereas, measures looking to the
relief of industrial classes are the de-
mands of the hour, broken promises,
such as we have had for the last de-
cade will not suffice. Proper admin
istration of the government is what
we demand. Nothing else will salts
| fy. Now there fore be it
Resolved, That we believe it to be
the duty of the great working and
middle classes, of the United States,
to organize into the Peoples party.
Resolved, That the preservation of
constitutional liberty to our posteri-
| ty can only be gained by the success
of the Peoples party principles.
Resolved, That>we this day and by
this act announce our determination
| to do everything that free men and
the SONS of free men can honestly do
to secure the success of the Peoples
party and it's principles in national
politics and that we now proceed to
organize the Peoples party in this,
Charlton county, by the election OF
county and township committees.
Resolved, That q copy OF these res
olutions be furnished the Missouri
World and the press of our county
for publication.
