principles should bind our senators, con-
gressmen and legislators elect, both state
and national; to secure, II possible, their
early embodiment in legislative enactments.
! Resolved, That we are for principle first,
and goOdmen to carry them out second, and
then only as means to good and great end.
Resolved, That we condemn the idolizing
Of party, or Of party leaders, as seen in both
Of the old political parties, and deem 1t an
evidence Of decay and an element Of weak
ness, and that we demand that the personal
ambition Of aspirants for office be held in
allegiance, and chat the greatest good to the
greatest number be always considered and
| conserved.
Resolved, That we believe that principles
are eternal, whereas, men are mortal and
fallable; that principal Is the pole star;
that equity is the cOmpass; that truth Is the
sun In the mid heaven from which we may
take our bearings in the voyage for the
heaven Of industrial prosperity and peace.
Resolved, That we believe that it is the
| solemn duty of the Christian churches, and
of the Christian ministry to advocate and
promote these needed reforms.
Resolved, That we see no hope Of these re-
forms being ever accomplished through the
agency Of the older political organizations.
Resolved, That we believe that the duty
of the hour is to ''come out from among
them and be separate".
Resolved, That we are In favor Of just and
generous treatment OF the loyal and patri-
otto soldiery of the nation.
Resolved, That we are in favor of honest
money, both gold, silver and paper money
issued by the general government direct to
the people.
Resolved, That we condemn the present
administration as being both weak and ser.
vile in its savish subsection to the money
power of Wall street, and that its attitude
on the free coinage question plainly proves
this servility.
Resolved, That we condemn the present
democratic house of representatives for cow
ardise in lodging the free coinage issue.
Resolved, That we condemn the present
republican state administration of Kansas,
especially In the Judge BOtkin affair, and we
believe that the appointment Of this corrupt
Judge was disgrace to the people Of Kan
sas and that haste shown by the governor to
employ the militia Of the state to carry out
his nefarious designs was shame to honest
citizens Of the state, and we condemn the
partisan spite and wilful obstruction Of the
passage of wholesome laws by the republic
can state senate as well as their guilty a :
quittal of Judge BOtllin.
Resolved, That we commend the manly
anu ulSulHbu COuIsG VI DtIulOI w M
in the United States senate, for refusing to
be controlled by bad and unreasonable pre-
cedent, that new members should not be
heard, and for his bOdness in advocating
needed reforms, and introducing bills en-
bOdying the same.
Resolved, Thatwe commend the course Of
the alliance congressman of Kansas and
other states, who have commended for the
rights of their constituents, and who in the
face of rldicule and persecution, have stood
out boldly for the right
Resolved, That we commend the indiv-
idual action of all good men, both republi-
cans and democrats In congress who have
refused to be governed by the caucus rule
Of their respective parties and have worked
for the good Of the tOiling millions Oh Am
erica.
Resolved. That we ask and invite the sym
pathY, cooperation and support Of all good
men regardless Of what may have been their
former party affiliations.
Resolved, That trusting In the providence
of God, and believing as we do, that Justice
sits upon the throne Of the universe, and
"that peace shall finally spring out Of the
earth and righteousness shall look down
from heaven" we will go boldly forward
contending for the ''things that are lovely
and of good report" until success Is finally

the blessing Of the Almighty God.
