| THE RESOLUTIONS.
The Peoples party of the city of Sac
! ramentO, in convention assembled on
| February I, 1893, atfirms its allegiance to
the Omaha platform and congratulates
the people upon the fact that over a
million voters at the late general election
showed sufficient Independence and
knowledge of the true condition of affairs
in this Nation to throw Off old party
shackleS and unite in the support of
party which has proved itself a repre-
sentative of the people and not of the en-
throned monopolies and money power.
| WHEREAS, The conspicuous failures
made in the past by Republican and
democratic officials to properly admins
ter the affairs OF this city has demon
strated the inability of either old party to
place men before the people for their suf-
tiageS who stand as representatives Of the
people, 1t has become necessary for the
voters IN the future to act Independently
of these parties;, and whereas, experience
has proven that under our present system
OF laws ana the corruption engendered
under Republican and Democratic rule,
the people are being persistently robbed
through the subserviency OF these parties
to corporations and trusts, it has become
necessary to inaugurate a new system as
well as new party; therefore,
ReSUtUed, That we favor the most
economical administration OF the city
affairs consistent with good government.
ReSOtUed, That, as city ownership of
the Water Works has proven of great
benefit to this city, we favor the city's
ownership and control fall public neces-
sites, as gas and electric plants, street
| railways, telephones, ETC., experience in
other cities abundantly demonstrating
| that the people secure better and cheaper
service under such system, as well as
tightening of the burden of taxation.
ReS0lUed, That we heartily indorse the
action of the seven Peoples party repre-
sentatives in the Assembly upon the
! United States SenatorShip and in their
determination to stand solidly for reform
and labor legislation.

| forcement of the eight-hour law upon
