AT THEIR OLD TRICKS.

"The Bourbon Democracy is making
frantic efforts to break the force of the
Peoples party movement in the South,
while the Republican press is doing its
best to lie the new party to death in
the West and Northwest. Finding
that the people will not become ex-
cited about the sham battle over the
tariff, an effort is being made to arouse
sectional prejudices. The bloody
shirt is being frantically waved both
North and South of Mason and Dixon's
line in the hope of making the people
forget the reasonable indifference to
their interests of which both parties
have been guilty. In the South the
Democrats are industriously circulat-
ing the report that the st. Louis In
dustrial Conference adopted as a part
of its platform the payment to Union
soldiers of the difference between the
value of gold and greenbacks, so as
to put them on the same footing in
this respect as the bondholders. At
the st. Louis Conference, while the
delegates were waiting for the return
of the committee on platform reso-

Read what Congressman Springer
has to say of the situation: "The re-
suit of the Peoples party convention
at Omaha, may cut considerable figure
in the November ELECTIONS. In many
of the States of the South and West
the new party will have SO strong q
following that the electoral ticket
may be lost to both Republicans and
Democrats. In fact, in some of the
States the Democrats are in such a
hopeless minority they will not put
up an electoral ticket but will put
the Peoples party electors on the reg
ular Democratic ticket in hopes thai
they may thereby prevent the Repub,
lican electors from getting majority
of the votes"

the State Democratic Convention

lowed Senator Georges statement
that ''nO man is greater than the
Democratic party" to fall to the
ground as untrue, for they have gone
to work and made a platform to suit
Cleveland and the party should now
dub itself Cleveland's party. and not
drag the old name in the dirt.
To my friends of the Peoples par
ty, ] say that we have much to con-
gratulate ourselves for. First, our
platform is plain and has no uncertain
sound. Second, in our State Conven-
tiOn we only lacked two counties of
having as many as our Cleveland
friends had in theirs, and have since
heard from several counties that were
not represented, but are now organ
lied and ready for action. Third,
congratulate the party on its thorough
methods, and say that, young as it is,
its organization is more complete to-
day than either of the old parties.
Fourth, as chairman of your Execu
tive Committee for the 7th Congres-
sional District, adjure you to let
not single opportunity slip to add
to your numbers. Encourage the as
sembling of the people and have your
speakers present and educate. You
have the right side and any plain old
farmer can talk your gospel. As Davy
Crockett said, "Be sure you're right
and then go ahead" You are right,
now mix it with 'em. See your
neighbors and talk every chance you
have. Look into his eye and watch
the blazing light of truth as it kindles
there. Shake his hand, and grip him
good and strong. There is a magnet
ism in the very grasp of true man
that reaches the very soul. See that
every friend of our cause takes the

and get single subscribers, any way

The ocaia Demands.

Ia. We demand the abolition OF national
banks
b. We demand that tile government shall
establish Sub-Treasuries or repositories in the
several States, which shall issue money direct to
the people at a low rate of interest, not to ex-
ceed per cent per annum, on non-perishable
farm products, and also upon real estate, with
proper limitations upon the quality of land and
the amount of money.
C. We demand that the amonnt OF the cir

less than $50 per capita.

In futures of all agricultural. and mechanical
productions providing stringent system OF
procedure In trials-tflat will secure prompt
conviction, and imposing such penalties as shall
secure the most perfect compliance with the
law. -
3. We condemn the silver bill recently passed
by Congress, and demand in lieu thereof the
| free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
4. We demand the passage of laws prohibiting
alien ownership OF land. and that Congress take
prompt action to devise some plan TO obtain all
lands now owned by aliens and foreign syndi-
Gates and that all lands now held by railroads
be reclaimed by the government, and held Tor
actual settlers only.
/ 8. Believing In the doctrine OF equal rights 70

a. That our national legislation ssail he So

luton was offered declaring that in
Justice the Union soldiers were enti-
tied to the same consideration as the
bondholders; but this never was
adopted as part of the platform any
more than the resolution favoring
justice for women at the ballOt-bOx,
and several other resolutions. 1t so
happened that the associated press
sent ont all the resolutions along with
the address and platform, and many
papers, the Journal among the rest.
made the mistake of publishing the
associated press report. In all subse-
quent issues, however, the correct
platform has been published. We
understand the Journal of March 3rd,
containing the inaccurate platform, is
being used in the South by the Demo-
cratic bosses to make it appear that
the resolution referred to was adopted
as one of the planks of the platform.
The trick is a dishonest one, and that
they are forced to resort to it is COP
fession that they find their case des:
perate. Only party conscious OF q
bad cause and a diminishing popular
ity would dream of resorting to -such
wretched Misrepresentation in an ef-
fort to stir up and keep alive sectional
hatred. The st. Louis Conference
represented no section, but looked to
the good of the whole nation. 1t made
no appeals to sectional or race preju-
dices; no appeals to prejudices or
hates of. any kind, past or present.
It realized that no party and no sec
ton has any monopoly of loyalty to
the nation, aud the demands it put
forth were in the interest of all Sec
tions and classes alike. The Demo-
Gratis in one section and the Republi-
cans in another will try in vain to pre-
vent the people from thinking on the
question of such vital moment to
themselves and their children, and,
when the people think neither the
waving Of the bloody shirt, the. shout
/ ing of party cries, nor the beating OF
party tom-foms will avail to prevent
them relegating to deserved oblivion
the parties who by misgoyernment
have brought the nation to the verge
of ruin"

Hon. Henry L. Mnldrow is annouDc-
ed as a candidate for Congress in the
first district in opposition to Private
John Allen. The Aberdeen Examiner
endorses him by saying he is remem
bered by the farmers as one who al
ways had time TO respond to their
letters, look after their country post
Office affairs, and supply them in sea-
son with seeds and whatever else the
Government had to distribute. By
the agriculturists of the whole coun-

their cause when they asked that their
profession should be represented in

fought through to its passage the first
bill for the establishment of the De-
partment of Agriculture as an indie
