We, the Peoples party, ut the outset tC
secure permanent control Of the party or
ganization unaffected by the interest Of
those In public service, do hereby, in ma
tional convention assembled at Omaha, or
this 4th Of July, 1892, establish this Ordi
nance as the fundamental law Of the party
organization, viz:
No person holding any office or position
Of profit, trust or emolumentS under tn,
federal or any state or municipal govern
msnt, including senator's, congressman and
members Of the Legislature, state and local
shall be eligible to sit and vote in any CON
vention Of the party, and copy of this or.
dinsnCe shall be annexed TO every call fol
any future convention.
This Omaha ordinance excluding Office,
holders from conventions marks a new
departure in American party politics
How often in years gone by have W.
been asked the question by our oppon
ents: "If you get into power, how Ions
will 1t be before you will become as cor
rupt as the present political parties
Your officials will desire to succeed
themselves, and 40 soon ss elected or Rp
pointed to Office, they will begin Il
scheme and FIX up the states, so as to SO
cure their continuance in Office for thu
spoils that may be secured thereby with
out any regard for the wishes OF inter
ests Of the average voters who elected
them."
The Omaha ordinance answers thes,
objections by establishing q principle
OF party government, which excludes
from any voice or vote in the manage
ment Of the party all persons who hole
any public Office or position OF profiI
trust or smolument, or, in short, all per
sons who presumably have any polltiea
axes TO grind. We hold, as q party, T.
this principle, that the Office should seel
the man, and that it is the duty Of an!
OfiCs-holder, whether elected or ap
pointed, to serve the whole people with
out regard to party, and not under any
circumstances to engage in partisan
political work, designed to continue him.

cure for themselves the spoils of Office.
These spoils under the methods Of the
old political parties act as q bribe to cor
rupt public officials whenever and wher-
ever these officials are permitted to
organize themselves into q political ma
chine to secure Office for it's members.
In the organization of the Peoples
party, the convention at Omaha adopted
a law, which it rigidly adhered to will
prevent the organization Of another cor
rupt political machine to defeat the will
Of the people whose only object in or
Ranizing a new party was to secure
measures Of reform in our systems Of
finance, transportation and land, with
out any regard to past political afiliR-
tions or as to who might be elected to
Office.
We met with partial success in 1892,
by dsmorRlizing the corrupt republican
machine in this state. But the great
battle for economic reform is yet to be
fought out. We are we'll aware of the
fact that both Of the old party machines,
the republican and the democratic, are
unit in opposition to the reforms which
we demand. We cannot afford, even in
appearance to prefer one Of these ma
chimes over the other. It is enough for
as to know that both are alike the
enemies Of the Peoples party. To 20
before the people with the argument
that the democrats are better than
the republicans, would be folly, as it in
vites defeat by overlooking the fact that
both are opposed to us and equally de-
serving Of defeat at the polls.
While we cordially welcome to our
ranks every honest democrat and every
honest republican, We cannot afford to
have any dickering with either Of their
party machines, as to a division Of the
spoils. The Peoples party is pre-emi-
nently an organized revolt Of the people
against machine politics and all it's
methods. We cannot afford to barter
principles for partisan SUCCESS, but we
can offer to honest republicans and dem
ocrsts alike, inducements to vote with
the Peoples party that have never been
and will never be offered to them by
their old parties. We present them with
a system OF party government which pre-
vents the organization OF q party ma
chine to defeat the will OF the average
members Of the party. We offer them q
party which elects officers to serve them
and not bosses to rule them. The nom
offics-holders are the smployers-the
officials are their employees.
Ours is emphatioally a peoples party.
A party controlled by its average voters.
While thousands Of honest citizens may
not understand the economic reforms
which we demand they cannot fail to
understand that our system OF party
government will give them an opportu-
nifty to make their influence felt in favor
Of purity in politics and against corrupt
political rings and cliques, such as no
other party has ever offered them.
It is much to be regretted that our
reform press and speakers have not made
this fundamental law Of party govern
ment, more prominent in their discus
sions before the public. As vote maker
among people who have not studied our
economic doctrines, no measure adopted

Of the state Of Kansas, as we'll as the at

mittee Of the party to certain matters OF
immediate and vital Importance which
ara essential to the success Of the re-
forms which the Peoples party was Of
ganizsd to secure,
II is a deplorsble fact that the wealth
producing millions OF our country are
bound hand and foot by class legislation,
and that every department. of govern
nent, state and national, is administered
in the interest Of organized greed and
for the oppression OF the people.
This is the logical result Of entrusting
the administration Of public affairs TO
political parties which are only mere ma
chimes for getting Office, and intent only
upon securing for the managers all the
sDoils that can be secured by official
power and patronage. Under our poll
tiCal system, government is just what II
hss been made by the dominant pOlit-
Gal parties into which the people have
been divided. Hence it follows 90 q
logical sequence that il we would re-
form the government, We must first re-
form the political machinery Of the
parties by which it is administered.
We can never hope to have On honest
government Of the people, by the people
and for the people, until we have an
honest political party controlled exClu-

mality of Notification.
PAwTUCKET, r. l., Oct 3.-What will
in all probability result in the biggest
strike Of textile workers this city has ever
seen was inaugurated yesterday when 250
weayers left their looms at the Lorraine
mills, protesting against reduction in
wages. The weavers are employed in
what is known as the worsted depart
ment, where nearly 700 looms are in opera
ton. The first intimation the employees
had of the reduction was when they re-
ceived their pay Monday evening. They
found that the reduction averaged about
Il per cent. 1t ranged from five to thirty
cents cut, the difference in prices being
on account of different lines of work.
Yesterday a committee of the weavers
waited upon Agent Mccall, but they re
ported that they received no satisfaction
out of the interview, hence the entire
worsted side is idle. The operatives are
firm in their determination to remain out
until the Justice of their demand is recog-
