Resolutions were adopted as fol-
lows:
We, the Peoples party OF Ander'
son county, Kansas. in convention
assembled, hereby adopt the follow
ing resolutions:
LIST. We heartily endorse the ma
tional Peoples party platform adopt
ed at Omaha in 1892, and the Kan
sas state Peoples party platform OF
1894.
2nd We commend the present.
state officers of Kansas as having
eiyen us the most clean, honest, hon
orable and economical administration
we have had since Kansas became t.
state. -.
Sd. We condemn the Republican
party and it's candidates for again in
sulting the intelligence OF the people
of this state by inauguratlng cam
paign of falsehood and PERSONAL
abuse in order to draw the attention
of voters away from the issues be-
fore them at time when the most
important public questions are de-
handing the earnest attention OF all
good citizens.
The following gentlemen were
nominated for the several county po-
sitions to be filled in November.
D, w. Ramsay for representative,
John Anderson for clerk of the Dis
trict court, VIM. j. Brinckley for
superintendent of public instruc-
ton, G. T. Richardson for county
attorney and j. w. Miller for pro-
bate judge.
The convention was harmonious
and enthusiastic. AS usual, there
was no slate or scramble for nomina
tions. Destinations seemed rather
to be in order, and delegates freely
honored rivals.
II is needless to say that Ander-
son county Populists are united as
one man in carrying forward the
principles of the Peoples party, and
sooner or later, will place Anderson
county safely in the column OF Pop
ulist counties.
OF the nominees, we have only to
say that all are capable, upright men,
Mr.. Ramsay is farmer, who lett
the Republican party four years
ago, and has since devoted his time
and talent to advance the Peoples
cause. He is thoroughly informed,
and who is not who has the sand to
mite faith and fortune to that oil
the only poor mans party in America,
in a time when to be Populist in
vites storm of derision and con-
tempt from the corrupt old rings and
tboughtless multitude? If Mr..
Ramsay is not elected, it will be a
burning disgrace to the voters OF
Anderson county, in that corpora
ton attorney Of mean ability, stand
ing for no interest but railroad In
terests. can beat farmer, whose IN
terests are closely allied with the
interests of almost every citizen, be
he farmer, laborer, mechanic, mer'
chant, or professional man.
Mr.. Anderson was our nominee
for the. san position two years ago,
RAJ US known as one of the best cit
,tco, of our county. Doubtless the
Re- ption was surprise, but it is
,.~:a to worth and noble man
aood-and now we believe success
lies within his grasp.
Mr.. Brinckley is one of the boys
who wore the blue and carried our
flag to victory over chattel slavery.
For a dozen years he has been fight
ing against wage slavery. Though
somewhat advanced ia years, his
mind is still vigorous. He is a
teacher of many years standing, and
educatioually. undoubtedly is com
petent to fill the office of superin-
tendent. Age and experience have
ripened his judgment, and, In con-
sideration of his ability aud his SER
vice to his country, we earnestly
invite the voters of Anderson county
