We, the Representatives Of the Peo-
pies party of Harvey county, in mass
convention assembled, heartily endors-
ing the course now being pursued by
Gov. L. D. Lewelltng and our other
newly installed state officers In this
hour of supreme trial; therefore
Resolved /, That as friends of popular
government We extend to them and 70
Speaker Dunsmore and the legally ccu-
stituted house over which he presides
our pledge Of sympathy and support IA
their noble struggle to sustain Justice
and defend the people OF this common
wealth against fraudulent schemes by
which false certificates OF election we're
Issued In the interest of corporate greed
and Tor the purpose Of defeating the
popular will Of the people as expressed
at the polls. We comprehend the pur-
pose and are fully conscious of the ter
rible plutocratio power that Is aoyF
arrayed against the lawfully constituted
authorities of the state. Yet We have
confidence that all loyal citizens, re-
gardiess OF psrty, will protest and de-
fend the governor and his co-workers
In their manly defense of ssa govern
ment OF the people, by the people, and
for the people,"
2. That We condemn in most en-
phRt1c terms, those who have betrayed
the trust reposed in them by joining
the ranks Of the enemy of reform.
8. That we most emphaticaiIy de-
nounce the last administration OF the
republican party, and especially their
acts as canvassing board in the issue
ing OF certificates of election to parties
not legally entitled 20 them; and
4. Resolved further, That We hereby
reafnrm our faith In the loyalty and i'm
tegrtty Of the officers We have elected,
and in the justice Of the cause of re-
form, and therefore exhcrt our worthy
governor and his cO-labOrers to hold
the fort.
