day, it may as well be confessed
now as sixty days hence, will thor
oughly demoralize, dishearten and
defeat Democratic effort to poll a
full vote in the city in November.
That district was the key to the situa-
tion in Philadelphia, and Democrats
throughout the State are entitled to
candid admission Of the failure of
the organization here to bring about
harmonious action, and the neces s.
sary consequences of failure.
From this time forth the canvass
should be waged throughout the
State with view to the election of
as many Congressman, Senator'S,
Representatives and county officials
as possible, without special effort for
the State ticket. Effort should be
concentrated at those points where
it may prove effectual. The State
ticket has been doomed by the prac.
ical abandonment of organized ac-
ton in Philadelphia, where 100000
Democrats have allowed themselves
to be handcuffed and delivered into
the control of few contemplate
ringsters, roosters and rufiians."

els 4. Brown who declined. This
was a proper act on the part of
Unions Democracy, but how about
the resolutions they have adopted?
The Committee had the nerve, in
the face OF the silent factories and
cold furnaces, almost in sight of the
convention, to claim that the Dem.
ocrats saved the country from ruin
and destruction. They restored it
as 1t were. They say: For them
1.-THE people, we have fought a good
fight; to them we have kept the
faith; OF them we have no fear "
When they say they have kept the
ialth, we presume they thought il
necessary to insert that clause to
cover up the broken pledges. The
voters of Union county are too in.
telligent to be hoodwinked in that
way.
When they finished covering un
the sins and errors of the party,
they had to assail the record of b
IL. Focht, tho Member from
Union. After all their desperate
efforts to scrape up some charge
against him, they found his record
written in bold characters upon the
hearts of the people whose votes in
November will tell the tale of honest
conviction and honest representa-
ton, The people were hoodwinked
IN 1892 and they are not going TO
allow 1t to occur so soon again. The
people were never so anxious to vote
as they are now and they don't pro.
pose to Ieopardize any of their in.
terests to crafty personal ambition,

been given for many years.

How Is t7

The well intentioned citizen who
has not yet decided how to vote at the
coming election may well consider
his ground. / hope he will inquire
of himself how he likes the condi-
tions since the Republican party
has gone out of power. How has it
been with him Individually Has he
had steady employ ment Is he paid
the old Republican wage rate7 Does
he find the cost of living cheaper and
the ability to meet that cost better
Is his business prosperous7 Is he
as contented and confident of the
future as before? When he has
answered to himself these vita
questions let him, on his way to the
polls, pass the silent mill, the cold
furnace, the broken bank, the deser-
ted forge let him pass by poverty
and want, business paralyzed and
confidence vanished and then record
his judgment of the responsibility
for these conditions and his hope
for the future in the ballot which he
places in the box.-From speech of
General Hastings at the League of
Clubs convention.

WE ARE JUSTIFIED.
The Organization Of the Pe0-
pies Party a Necessity.

From a philosophical standpoint
we may regard tyrany in all ages,
and in all countries as necessary
precursor to freedom, liberty and
happiness, and we might further
add. that there Is no exception in
any age or any cline, in which
tyrany and oppression coupled with
an absolute refusal of relief has
failed to arouse the people from
that state of1ethergy that invaria-
bly, permits the alert despoiler to
entrap them in his coils. We have
no better object lesson to draw
from than to look back upon the
comparatively little band of pill
grims that fed from the immediate
presence and domination, of a des
potic king, to the barren, rugged
shores of a wild America, Drawing
the dangers of wild savages and
beasts, rather than submit to the
tyranny of monster in the shape
of monarch little thinking the
greedy monster would extend his
powerful hand of oppression across

Abraham LincOln's Awful
PrOphesy.

81 see in the near future a crisis
arising which unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the safety
of my country. AS a result of the
war corporations have been en-
throned, and all era of corruption
in high places will follow, and the
money power of the country will
endeavOr to prolong its reign by
working on the prejudices of the
people until all wealth is aggre-
gated in few hands and the re-
public destroyed. 1 feel at this
time more anxiety for the safety of
my country than ever before, even
Ill the midst of war.

prove grOundless.m

To the Voters of the Fourth
Congressional District.

Friends: Another election day is
about to dawn on us, and we are
to exercise that blood bought right
of American citizens-the use of
the ballot, in choosing a represent
ative in the national legislature
who shall be called upon to act for
the people of this district, and
their views on all pend,
ing questions OF national govern
ment.
Believing that the time is at hand
when it behooves men who have an
interest in the welfare of their
country to get together into one
party and to work for the welfare
of those dependent on them, we
beseech you to consider well the
matters we present to you in this
address. For many years the only
issue between the people Of the
South has been, which race shall
control the affairs of state, the col
ored or the caacasiaAg That ques-
tion has long since been settled,
but while the attention cf the peo-
pie of the south has been directed

Peoples Party Platform

/. We demand national cur
rency, safe, sound and flexible, is
sued by the general government
only, a full legal tender for all debt
public and private, and that with
out the use of banking corpora
tions; ajust, equitable and efficient
means of distribution, direct to the
people, at a tax not exceeding 9 per
cent, be provided, as set forth in
the sub-treasury plan of the Farm
ers' Alliance, or some better system
also by payments in discharge of
its obligations for public improve
ments.
a. We demand free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to 1.
b. We demand that tie amount
of circulating medium be speedily
increased to not less than $50 per
capita.
C. We demand graduated in
come tax.
, d. We believe that the money
of the country should be kept as
much as possible i'll the hands of
the people, and hence We demand
that all State and national revenue
shall be limited to the necessary
expenses of the government, eco
nOmically and honestly administer
ed.
G. We demand that postal saw
ings banks be established by the
government for the safe deposit OF
the earnings of the people and to
facilitate exchange.
2. Transportation being means
of exchange and public necessity,
the government should own and
operate the railroads in the inter
est of the people.
a. The telegraph and telephone,
like the post Office system, being a
necessity for the transportation of
news, should be owned and opera
ted by the government IN the in
terest of the people.
3. The land, including all the
national resources of wealth, is the
heritage of all the people, and
should not be monopolized for spec
ulative purposes, and alien owner
ship of land should be prohibited.
All land now held by railroads and
other corporations in excess of
their actual needs, and all lands
now owned by aliens, should be re-
claimed by the government and
held for actual settlers only.

III the interest of the people, the
whole people, and the party asks
you if you favor these reforms to
come and vote with us, and cease
to throw your vote away by voting
with party that does not regard
its own platform or the pledges of
its representatives on the rOstrum.
The Democratic party of the south
can not be any more solid than it
has been, but its solidity has not
benefited the people. 1t is called
on to furnish the votes that elect,
but it is only the tail of the east
ern Democratic dOg-that must wag
whenever the dog wills it. 1t is
true that the President took some
of his important appointments from
the south, bit whom did that bene-
fit besides those who got the off,
ces? 1t made cotton no higher;
it put no more money in circula-
ton; it made manufactured goods
no lower.
In fact the people of the South
now expect nothing from the de-
mOcratic party of the East, but
that the republicans of the East are
identified with usury, manufactur-
ing and the profits of commerce,
and only union of the West and
South can bring as good times.
We cannot expect the republicans
of the West to turn democrat, nor
can we expect the democrat of the
South to take the name of its old
emmy. So the peoples or pOpulist
is formed into which all can freely
go and make no surrender of prin.
ciple or pride. We hope you will
view your own condition and CON-
pare it with ten years ago and ask
yourself Scan 1 longer goin the way

vote against my own interest simp-
ly to honor a name that has ceased
to have a meaning in it. Can 1
longer afford to vote men into Office
who must work against my interest
because the Eastern wing of the
democratic party bids them do so.
We have named man, Hon. B.
w. Baily, as our standard bearer,
whom we trust with our cause, and
we ask you to help us to send him
to join and work with a band of
invinciole patriots who have ever
been found at their post of duty'
manfully battling for right and JUS.

him, believing that the crystaliza-
ton of the demands upon which he
so firmly stands, into law, will
again bring happiness and pros
perity to this people.

denounced as fools and cranks by
the men they had elected to repre-
sent their interest. All of their
views, no matter what, were called
"visionary,' impractical" and "un,
constitutional" They plead with
their representatives IN person, and
met with the same result. The
people of the South voting the
Democratic ticket the people of
the North and West voting the
Republican ticket, and all expect
ing the same result, but never de
irving any benefit. In 1890, the
first intimatiOn of any independ.
ent political action was manifested.
when all the labor organizations,
including the Farmers Alliance
met in convention at Ocala, FlOri-
da, formulated their principles into
demands and pledged themselves
to support the political party that
would enact them into a law. These
demands were presented to the
Democratic national convention at
Chicago, in 1892, and the Republi-
can national convention at Cincin-
natti, in the same year. Again the
people met with direct repulse by
both conventions. They were then
left right where the heroes of the
revolution found themselves with
one glorious difference that we hold
as blessed heritage from our fore.
fathers, (God bless their memories)
that is the ballot, but the people in
1890 met another obstacle. and that
was to get man in the field to
vote for, that was not bound body
and sOul to one Of the old parties.
How was this to be done? BY in
dependent political action through
the organization of Il distinct and
seperate political party and no
other. The next step was to form
that party, and on the 4th day of
July, 1892, the representatives of
the people met at Omaha, Neb.,
formulated and signed the second
declaration of independence of the
United States, and then and there
the great and glorious Peoples
party was bOrned; it is no myth,
but a substantial reality come to
stay and to win, not the spoils of
Office, but the liberty of the peO-
pie. 1t made the greatest record
in 1892 that was ever made Hy any
political party in the world, of its
age. 1t carried twenty-five electo-
raj votes, and over one million plu-
rality; elected four United States
Senators and eleven Congressman,
besides carrying several States.
This is a fair account of the neces-
sity for, and the origin of the PeO-
pies party, and let us say that re-
lief will come, and there are only
two sources, one by the ballot and
one by the bullet; the Peoples
party want it by the ballot, will
you join the party and help us, for
relief can come through no other
party, the people have tried that
sufficiently. Our platform is pub
ished in this paper, read it. We
are not ashamed of 1t.

Attempted Highway Robbery.

On Friday night while Samuel Lapinti
and James Latta were going from Con-
tractor McFadden's office on the Black
lick railroad, about ten miles from Ebens-
burg, to their boarding house. they We're
attacked in the darkness by two men who
knocked them down. Latta was badly
beaten by his assailant but Lapinta. after
a severe struggle, succeeded in regaining
his feet and drawing his revolver, tried to
fire, but it snapped three times before it
went off, when the highwaymen fled.
Lapinti is a boss, and as pay day was
only few days ago, it is supposed the rob-
bers were under the belief that by attack
ing him they would make rich haul.
1t is not known whether the one shot
fired by Lapnti took effect or not as there
was no blood left on the trail and both men
fled. They are supposed to be a couple of
men who were discharged a few days
DrpViDUSly.
