PEOPLES PARTY IN CHICAGO.

The peoples party Of Cook county,
Illinois, in convention assembled, make
the following declaration of principles:
We are populists for the reasons:
First, because the peoples party is the
party of humanity. 1t represents the
people and will champion their interests
as against the aggression, greed. and
selfshness Of those who consider property
interest as paramount TO the happiness
and prosperity Of the people. We cite
the people to the conditions prevailing in
1860, when the democratic and whig par
ties were SO allied with the property
owners as to be- neither capable nor eff
cient in handling the great questions Of
that day. The republican and democrat
ic parties of today are similarly situated
They rely on trusts and class interests
for means to prosecute their political
campaigns, and when placed in power
these monopolies, to further enrich them
at the expense of the people. They seem
to have no comprehension Of the condit-
ion of the country, and though quick to
hasten to the protection of monopoly
with all the troops and millions of money
of the government, are wholly insensible
to the suffering of hundreds of thousands
OF the common people-starvation, sui
cides, and general distress that now strew
this country with human wreckage.
Second. because we believe the peoples
party has comprehensive appreciation
of the situation into which the country
has been plunged, and is the only party
that can act with courage, determine
tion, intelligence, and patriotism upon
which the ne0ne can rely
Third, we believe that in the idea OF
reformation the financial question comes
first: That under the present disastrous
monetary system engrafted upon the
country by the republican party and per-
petuated by the democratic party, falling
prices will continue, money will pile up
in the hands Of the interest-gatherers,
further commercial prostration will ensue,
crime and suffering will increase, Jesuit
ing in drastic measures, despotic gov
ernment and loss Of our liberties. We
believe that silver should be Immediately
remonetiZed on a ratio Of l6 10 ! with
gold, independent OF the action of any
and all other governments. Any gov
ernment able to take all the silver in the
world and give up products in payments
for It will maintain the parity Of the two
metals. We warn the people against the
duplicity and treachery of the two old
parties, whose candidates when elected
to office have no higher ambition than
the salaries they draw and the patronage
they dispense.

A dispatch from Elk Point TO the
Argus Leader says:
A certain old soldier who enjoys a
reputation as II sweet singer OF army
songs, was heard to remark to promi-
nent republican. that 1T was a shame to
retire an old soldier in order to make a
place for man who had never carried a
musket in defense Of his country" to
which the aforesaid prominent repu blican
replied in the following expressive lang
uage: 'Old soldiers be Id; we want
brains instead of war records
The old soldier was NJ. B. Kent but the
republican who wanted brains is unknown
at present. Capt. Lucas is Just as brainy
n man as Bob Gamble. The same mach
inc that turned down Lucas, turned down
Judge Clifford and Col. Jolley. Honest
anti-machine republicans will put an end
to the Pettigrew-Pickler machine this
fall by voting the peoples party ticket

An INTERESTING CENTENNIAL.
It's observance by Winchester PresJy-
tery.

SHEPHERDsTowN, W. VA, Sept. A.
Winchester Presbytery has been holding its
centennial session at Kearneysville, FIVE
miles from here, and a most interesting
meeting it has been. Wednesday was big
day for Presbyterans in this section, and
especially for Shepherdstown. The large,
old fashioned, but comfortable church, built
sixty years ago, with its galleries running
around three sides of the church, was filled
all day and at night with deeply interest
ed audience. The moderator is Rev. DR..
John A. Scott, now of Florida, still MEM
Der of this Presbytery and next to the oldest
member; for many years pastor of the
church at Duffields, w. Va, and also the
moderator of the Centennial Synod of Vir-
ginia, which met at New Providence, in
Virginia, some time since.
Rev. A. G. Link and Elder J. w. Harlan
are the clerks. The speakers were Rev.
DIR. J. r. Graham, of Winchester, the pres
ent moderator of the Southern General AS
sembly, the Oldest member OF the Presby-
terry Rev. DR.. NJ. D. Hoge of Richmond,
Va, whose grandfather, DR.. Moses Hoge,
was pastor of this church and the moderator
of the Presbytery when it was organized
here 100 years ago, also its first commission
er to the General Assembly; DR.. II. NJ.
White, of Winchester alternate for DR.. IL.
c. Alexander, whose lamented death occur
red in New York few weeks ago Rev.
DIR. George Norcross, of Carlisle, Pa; Rev.
DR.. J. P. Smith, editor of the Central Pres
byterian, Richmond, Va, and clerk of the
Synod of Virginia, and Rev. DR.. J. n. Craig,
secretary of the Assembly's home mission
committee. DR.. Graham made the histori-
cal address, going back to 100, when the
gospel was first preached here and the place
was called Potowmock. 1t was very inter-
esting, carefully prepared and occupied an
hour and a half in its delivery.
DR.. Hoge spoke for an hour on the origin
and record of the church. He said the
Presbyterian Church is the largest eyangel-
ical body of Christians in the world, unless
the Lutherans may be more numerous
The address was an admirable one, worthy
of the reputation of the speaker. DR.. Whites
address was on Presbyterianism. He spoke
for over an hour and claimed that the
church was especially notable for its zeal
in maintaining sound and orthodox doctrine.
DR.. Norcr1ss brought kindly greetings from
the old Presbytery of Carlisle in the North
ern Assembly, and DR.. Smith brought salu-
tations from the Synod of Virginia
At night DR.. HOge preached his centen-
NAL sermon, taking as his theme, "The Per-
sonal Christ" A splendid congregation
heard him with wrapt attention from begin
ming to end of as grand q discourse as was
ever delivered in the old church. And thus
closed the day which will not soon be for
gotten in this historical old burg Rev,
Charles Gheislin, the pastor, and his COM
mittee of arrangements, consisting of Elders
w. NJ. Lemon and Joseph McMurran, did
everything in their power to contribute to
the comfort of guests and visitors.-BaHi-

From the Journal and Exponent publish
ed at Princeton, West Virginia, we take the
following: "The Democratic party of Mer-
Ger county has put forward its standard
bearers. The convention by which the
ticket was nominated was composed of as
fine body of men as ever assembled in
Mercer county, and its deliberations were
characterized by spirit of fairness and har-
mony that augurs well for the success of
the ticket at the polls. Major Samuel
Walton was nominated for House of Dele
gates by reclamation, amid deafening cheers.
Major Samuel Walton's name creates enthu-
siasm whenever mentioned in Democratic
circles. lie is a man of sterling integrity,
spotless reputation, a broad thinker, and
capable Of representing the varied interests
of Mercer county in the State Legislature
in very able manner He belongs to no
rings. cliques or factions, but is free to re-
fleet the wishes of the people. He will not
only poll the full Democratic vote, but he
will draw heavily from the laboring element
in the opposition party" We endorse
every good word above anent our friend and
former townsman. He is one Of the best
men we ever knew. We earnestly hope the
Democrats Of Mercer will succeed in elect
ing him.
