We the representatives OF the peoples

convention assembled, hereby adopt the
following declaration OF principles, to
which We pledge ourselves and our candi-
dates:
First-We endorse the platform OF prin-
riries adopted nv the state convention of
the people's arty which met in this city
June %, 1894; aud We reaffirm our aileg-
lanre to the Omaha platform of July 4,
1894.
Spcond-Wiih pride do We approve the
actions and work of our representatives
IN the national congress and that of the
peoples party members in our last state
legislature; and
WHEREAS. Because OF incompetent Of.
ficials, inadequate and dishonest meth
DDS, Our county financial standing ia dis
honored and embarrassed at home and
abroad, and our credit exhausted, and the
burdens OF taxation have become unbeRr.
able, rendering necessary the most rigid
economy and retrenchnent consistent
Nth good government, We hereby pledge
the peoples party of this county and the
nominees Of this convention to zealously
favor and urge the EMANCIPATION and pros
ecntion OF the returns necessary to relieve
these burdens OF taxation and save to our
citizens their homes and preserve to them
the rights Of freemen therefore be 1t
Resolred, That We arraign the present
administration OF county affairs as being
prufliyate and extravaganza in the extreme,
and that the custom and practice OF EN-
ploying deputies in the county offices To
discharge political obligations, be dis
tnuntpnanred and discontinued that the
county sheriff and county auditor he al
lowed, at county expense, no more than
ne deputy each, and that the county
clerk he allowed one deputy only and
that one during the time of the sessions
f the superior court and at no other
time; that the county treasurer be allow
I'd deputy only during the busy time Of
tax paying of each wear and that not to
exceed period of two months, and that
all other officers except assessor he re-
qnired to provide their own deputies; and
be it
Rssolred, That while we favor q proper
and just recognition of the rights of labor,
we believe the only way to restore these
rights il through the same means by
which they were lost-the ballot, and
that We condemn, alike all acts OF vio-
lence against legal authority, and the
bsseless falsehoods disseminated by the
nbsidized press To mislead the people
and divert attention from real issues and
that We, therefore, invite all who believe
in a government OF the people, for the
people and by the people 20 unite with US
for the contamination OF this end.
