The Hennepin County Peoples Party
Convention.
The Peoples party convention of Henne-.
pin county held at Labor Temple last Sat-
urday, was fully attended and was conspic-
uous by the absence of political schemers;
every one was enthusiastic in the cause of
reform A
"A motion was made early in the session
oy w. X. Dobbyn to appoint a committee
on resolutions through whose hands all
resolutions should pass before presentation,
out MS motion failed to pass and the DEM
ocratic principle Of Popular rule was estab-
ilshed of Introducing resolutions from the
floor.

Ihomas II. Lucas, and read as follows: y.
whereas, Grover Cleveland, the present
incumbent Of the presidential chair of the
United States has violated the constitution
ana laws of these United States as defined
In section $500 Of the revised statutes, based
upon an Old common law rule that requires
the use OF troops to be preceded by procla-
nation, therefore be it
Resolved, That We the delegates Of tho
Peoples party, in the county of Hennepin
IN convention assembled, imbued with the
spirit of our revolutionary fathers and I'm
reverence for the power of the civil law
which they spilled their blood to erect on a
urn foundation above the military authori-
ty, denounce the action of Grover Cleveland
as an infringement of state rights that have
never been disputed, violation of our laws:
encroachment on our constitutional rights
revolution of our established form of gov
eminent, and the first step in the erection
of a despotism.
ms resolution passed with only one dis
sentlng vote, although there were three OBJ
Jectlons on the ground that the preamble
was not respectful enough to the president
all ENDORSING the sentiment
The resolution was then ordered by
unanimous vote to be telegraphed to Grover
Cleveland
H. B. Martin then introduced the follow
ing resolution which passed Gnanimously:
whereas, One c.: X. Davis, a United
States senator from Minnesota has proved
a traitor to the interests of the masses of
the people of this state on many previous
occasions, and more recently by his outra-
geous and disgraceful subserviences to the
interests of railway corporations and the
infamous Pullman monopoly, as shown by
his insulting reply to the reasonable request
OF the laboring men of Duluth that he vote
Tor the Kyle resolution defining a mail
train; therefore
Resolved, That we, the representatives of
the thousands of Populist voters of Henne-
pin county, do hereby express our utter
condemnation of c. K. Davis for his treach-
cry to the people and his subserviency of
the will of the General Managers Associa-
ton and the Pullman monopoly, and we de-
mand that the legisla ture take the necessa-
ry slept to secure his impeachment or recall
in order that sena tor be sent to Washing
ton from Minnesota who will vote and
speak for the rights of the common people.
and not as Davis does, for the interests of
the confederated railway monopolists rep
resented by the general managers associa-
ton
Thomas H. Lucas introduced the follow
ing, which passed unanimously:
Whereas, The Pullman Car Company,
having taken advantage of the financial
panic to cut down the wages Of their
ployes below living rate, although they
enjoyed practical monopoly and were
enabled to pay large dividends on watered
stock, and after repeated requests the
part of their employees to arbtrate. were
refused with scorn, and
Whereas, Their brethren of the Ameri-
can Railway Union felt themselves COM
PEELED by the interest of humanity and the
universal brotherhood of labor to enforce
the just request for arbitretio of the gr1ev-
ances of the Pullman employees by refusing
to handle the trains of all railways using
the Pullman sleeping cars; therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the delegates of the
Peoples party of the county Of Hennepn,
in the state of Minnesota, extend our sym

peaceable manner within power to
obtain their just request for arbitrating all
grievances
