El.P rarty Lash.

The editor Of the Pickcns SENTINEL has
become alarmed over the Peoples party
and is using the party lash for all it is
worth. lie thinks that we arc bound to
support Cleveland because he was nomi-
mated at Chicago in the interest of Wall
street, against the will of people by So
| called democratic Convention. Now Mr..
Boggs VIC went into the democratic clubs
and conventions Oh the Ocala demands and
they were incorporated IN the State plat
| form. We raSssd resolutions and de-
| noGnced Grover Cleveland or any other
man nominated i'm the interest of Wall
street, as being prostitution of the prin-
ciplcs of Democracy Il rcnuCliation of the
demands of the Alliance and q surrender
OF the rights Of the people 10 the financial
kings OF the country. Now if these de-
mandS and resolutions passed by the whole
convention ere worth nothing, What is that
one worth that passed. (whcn about one.
third or the delegates were i'm the house,
binding us to abide the decision of the
Chicago Convention? Is that resolution more
binding than all tie others combined? I
think not. Nc one is bound 10 suppOr,
cleveland except those delegates who went
to Chicago and voted to make his nomina-
ton unanimous.
Now it is plain fact that VIC must cith
er rcpudiatc Cleveland or the Ocala de-
mands, and We think that it is only mat
ter of choice with the people, as 10 which
they will do. We know there is nothing
IN the Chicago platform that will give re-
lief to the laboring class and if in The clcc-
ton OF Cleveland We have
hopes OF relief, VIC are OF all men most
miserable. We have nothing to gain if
Cleveland is elected and nothing to lose if
he is not The Peoples Party is The only
party through which the people have any
luSt grounds to cNl.rct any relief from the
ever increasing OpprcasOns Of the cnptal.
lstlc class, for ii is evident to every iniclii-
gent person in the land that the leaders of
both the Old parties are now and have been
tor years mere tools in tho hands of the
money kings. Every branch Of Govern
mcnt IS controlled in their interest His.
tory furnishes no instance in which anon
eyed arlStocracy ever voluntarily released
its grip upon the tOilcr or enacted law in
his behalf. We &rc JcffcrsoMian Democrats
| according to our honest Judgment, will
not be dashed into line with The party lash.
