vote for either of the old parties,
thereby fastening the chains of Eu-
ropeau slavery upon the industries
of this country.
TT is easy enough for even a
weak man to be left by his party,
but it takes strong man to be able
to break away from lifelong associa-
tions on a question of principle that
does not even promise success.
AS true to-day as it was then, but
we are finding many strong men in
Kansas and all over the nation. In
our own state take Judge Webb,

Madden, etc.

whom they sought to hold to their
support upon the pleas that only
through their success was there any
hope of triumph. TO avoid
giving offense to the South, they
trihed with the convictions OF the
better element of their party OF the
North, and found, at length, that it's
intelligence, conscience and cour-
age had renounced allegiance to a
party of cowardice and hypocrisy. J
History repeats itself To- day,
the Democratic party throughout
the nation, and in the North in par
ticular, has constantly urged upon
the Peoples party the claim that
only through their success and the
election of Cleveland, with Demo-
cratic majority in both the senate
and the h, use, could we expect the
triumph of our principles, when, as
matter of fact, if you will care

document, yclept the Democratic
platform, you will find that they
promise to do just as near nothing
as possible, while ostensibfy playing
that they are doing something. AS
matter of fact, the Democratic
party belongs to Grover Cleveland

yer Cleveland belongs to the plutoc-
racy of Wall street and London,
Amsterdam and Berlin. One year
ago last May, he sold himself to
them, when he made the infamous
declaration that anything but gold
standard served to unsettle values
and precipitate panics, thereby rad

iority-in fact, about all-of the

Then the claim was strenuously
made that this was not party ques-

it was not, probably could
not, and MUST not, be allowed to be-

Dit Mercer called them to order and stated
the object OF the meeting, which was, he
said. TO consider the selection of a receiver.
Temporarily Sheriff McDade had been ap-
pointed by the court, but after that it
would be for the cred tors to name man

was heavy one 10 undertake, and he
wished it to be declared to be the sense of

issued circular in which they had offered
to close up the affairs for half the amount
allowed by law. This was per cent on

all moneys beyond that sum. Under this
ruling the Legitimate percentages would
amount 10 about $3.50. 600 and the sum de-

Judge Levy demanded that the petition

that the petition alleged the Pacific Bank
to be an ordinary banking institution, and
not savings bank at all. The papers in
the cause being regular in every way, the
court had no option but to appoint re-

on the ground that the officer who declared
the company insolvent had no right TO O so.
