the right standard. Now we stand
here to-day with the battle fairly won
At great expense, with wearisOme la
| bOrs, and no reward save the con-
scienceness of doing good, we have
fought the good fight. BY the rule of
white majOrities, which has become
the unwritten law of the State, we
have won the victory, not for our
selves alone, but for all the people f.;
for the black counties as we'll as for
the white counties, for the white peO
pie and the black people. Let it be
emphasized, that we cannot divest
ourselves of the obligation to look af
ter the true interest of the negroes.
Our relations to that weak and de-
pendent race have been often disrupt
ed by designing politicians, and sell
fish saloOnists, but we must still exer-
else over them philantrOpic guard
ianship for their good and for ours.
We must lift the standard of public
morals high above their heads, aud
visit upon every one, who would pull
it down suitable social penalties. To
do this will be in the interest of labor,
will promote domestic tranquility"
advance "the general good all over
the black counties. 1t will confer on
public men "thc blessings of liberty"
by taking from their necks the yoke
of bondage placed there by saloon
bosses.
We stand before you, gentlemen,
with mighty army behind us. That
ancient society, the Free Masons, that
mammoth order, the National Far
mer's Alliance, the thousands of Chris
tian Churches, the w. &. T. t., rep
resenting the Christian women of the
land, the Knights of Labor, have all
Outlawed the saloon. If you will do
the same in the Constitution you will
stand with this gOodly company. 1t
is to these. sober, industrious classes
that YOU must look for the stability
and future prosperity of the common
wealth. 1t is to them that you must
look for power to overcome the con
stant assaults of the saloons and its
allies. And, gentlemen, these great
forces, moved by a conviction born of
an intelligent study of the question,
cannot be turned back, and will not
stop though the end may be sought
through other channels.
In conclusion, gentlemen Gf the c ou-
vention, we ask You to lift your eyes
to the future. See the myriads of
children coming to meet you. They
smile and hold out their hands in con-
fidence to you. They are coming to
live in Mississippi. Shall they find all
their environments tending to vice,
their blood tainted, their teachers
perverted or, on the other hand,
shall they find pure atmosphere, and
condition which according to Mr..
Gladstone. "makes it easy to do right
and hard to do wrong?" This Con-
ventiOn must answer the question. In
behalf of whom we represent. we bid

Declaration of Purposes.

Whereas. the general condition of our coun
try imperatiyey demands unity of action on
the part of the laborug classes, reformation
and economy, and the dissemination of prin-
ciples best calculated to encourage and foster
agricultural and mechanical pursuits, encour-
aging the tOiling masSeS-leading them in
the road to prosperity, and providing a just
and fair remuneration for labor, a Just eX-
change for our commodities, and the best
means of securing to the labOring classes the
greatest amount of good we hold to the
principle that all monopolies are dangerous to
the best interest of our country, tending to en-
slave a free people aud subvert and finally over
throw the great principles purchased by the
fathers of American liberty. We therefore
adopt the following as our declaration princi-
pies:
1. To labor for the education of the agricul-
tTal classes in the science of economical gov
ernment, in strictly nOn-partisan spirit and
bring about Il more perfect union of said
classes.
.. That we demand equal rights to all, and
special fayors to none.
3. To endorse the motto: "In things eS-
sential, unity; and in all things charity.
/. To develop a better state mentally, morally,
socially and financially.
5. To constantly strive to secure entire har-
mony and good will to all mankind and brother
ly love among ourselves.
6. To suppress personal, local, sectional and
national preiudices, all unhealthy rivalry and all
selfish ambition.
:. The brightest jewels which it garners, are
the tears of the widows and orphans, and its
imperative commands are to visit the homes
where acerated hearts are bleeding; to assHage
the suffering of a brother or sister bury the
dead. care for the widows and educate the Or
phans; to exercise charity toward all offenders;
to construe words and deeds in their most favor
able light, granting honesty Of purpose and
good Intentions to others and to protect the
principle. of the Farmers Alliance and indus
trial Union until death. Its laws are reason
and; its equity cardinal doctrines inspire purity
of thought and life, its intention is : ION earth,
peace and good will to man.

aided in the work of remodeling the
rules. The rules of the last national
convention were taken up, and. after
some changes. adopted. The action of
the national committee in allowing the
claim of New Mexico to six delegates
was approved.
A proposition was made III the form
of a motion that in view of the popula-
ton of Utah, as well as OIL account of
the two delegations from that territory,
it be allowed four votes in the conveu-
ton. This was debated at considerable
length, it being maintained that such
action would have bad effect in other
territories. When put to vote only
seven favored the proposition. The
representation was allowed to stand,
two for each congressional district and
four at large from each of the states,
six from New Mexico and two from
each of the other territories and District

DENIED BY PLATT.
sNIe Too" Very Vehement in His
Assertions.

VIC lOO hCIy
Assertions.
The claims of the New York Harri-
son men that they tonight polled thirty
votes in the delegation for Harrison Is
absolutely and unQualitiedly denied by
Mr.. Platt, who authorizes the following
personal interview:
1.-The claim that is made as to the con-
ference of the New York supporters OF
Harrison is without foundation Ill fact
At this conference there were present
by actual count twenty-SeVen persons,
of whom several were counted In this
estimate OF Mr.. HarriSOn'S strength VINO
are not members of the delegation. En-
State Senator Sloane was one OF them,
and there were at least three others not
members. all of whom were counted.
Gen. Hustled is given as present. EY-
erv one knows that Gen. Hustled has
been confined to his room and his bed
for several days seriously sick. and Will
not be out for several days yet. His
substitute is Il Blaine man. Moore, an
other man WnO is given III the Harrison
list made public tonight, has been max
ing speeches nightly for Blaine. Good
ale and Waters, two Others named, are
at present disposed TO vote for some
new candidate.
The five men, HeES. Sanford. Nc
Cune, Sherman and Thomas, whom the
Harrison men claimed as not present at
the conference, but asserted that they
are i'll sympathy with the Harrison side,
are every one of them strong Blaine
men.
There are other inaccuracies. Some
of the men present were induced to
attend under the false pretenss that 1t
was simply conference for the eX-
change of views. The object of the
meeting was to manufacture some basis
for the claim the Blaine supporters in
the New York delegation are diSin-
tegrating and to use this as text in
making a tour of the other delegations
fol the purpose of securing support for
Harrison. The necessity for such des-
peIate attacks has been painfully ap-
parent all dav. Thty are losing every
where and have become very much
demOralized. The situation is more
encouraging to US than it has been at
any time during the canvass"
Mr.. Plat added that there Is 10 diff
ference IN New York delegation from
what there has been at the beginning.
'We claim fOrty-elght. and there Is
f0rty-eight," he concluded.
Gen. Thomas, one of the men the
Harrison men said was not present, but
in sympathy with them, was inter-
viewed and ridiculed the idea that he
had gone over to the enemy. He re-
marked that if he had ever been in
cIined to vote for Harrison he could not
possibly do it now, because he had been
Sighted and not invited to this alleged
conference. Mr.. MeEwen, another of
the FIVE not present but counted, was
very indignant when told he was polled
as Harrison man at the conference,
and replied that at the time the confer
ence was held he was making speeches
for blaine
