Considerable disappointment was felt by
the people OF Gilman on Saturday when It
became known that Gen. Bryant had not
accepted the invitation of the council to
banquet In his honor. The general gives
pressing business appointments as his
reason for not accepting.
Owing to the crowded condition of the
public schools at Gilman another room
has been opened and Miss Sadie Humph.
lette installed as teacher.
George Grove, an employe Of the Seattle
Coal and Iron Company at Gilman, had q
narrow escape from death the other day,
but escaped with . broken leg. He was
riding up the slope in an empty car
when 1t jumped the track. and before the
engine could be stopped he was thrown
out. He struck against timber. breaking
his leg and slightly emitting his head. He
is recovering rapidly, however.

We assert our purposes to be identical with

common defense, promote the general welfare

and our posterity."
We declare that this republic can only en-
dure as a free government while built upon the
owe of the whole people for each other and
for the nation; that it cannot be pinned to-
gether by bayonets; that the civil war is over,
and that every passion and resentment which
grew out OF it must die with it, and that we
must be in fact, as we are in name, united
brotherhood of free men.
Our county finds itself confronted by con-
ditions for which there is no precedent in the
history Of the world. Our annual agricultural
productions amount to billions of dollars in
value, which must within few weeks or
months be exchanged for billions Of dollars of
commodities consumed in their production.
The existing currency supply is wholly made
quate to make this exchange. The results are
falling prices, the formation of combines and
rings and the mpoverishment of the producing
classes. We pledge ourselves that if given
power we will labor to correct these evils by
wise and reasonable legislation, in accordance
with the terms of our platform.

THE PEOPLES PLATFORM.
Adopted in National Convention at
Omaha, July 4, 1892.

Assembled uron the 10th anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence, the Peoples
party of America in their first national con-
vention, invoking upon cir action the bless
ing of Almighty God, putA forth in the name
and on behalf of the people If this country the
following preamble and declaration of prlnci-
pies:
The conditions which surround us justify
our action we meet in the midst OF nation
brought to the verge of moral political and
material ruin. Corruption dominates the bal
lot box, the legislatures, the congress, and
touches even the ermine of the bench. The
people are demoraliZed; most of the states
have been compelled to isolate the voters at
the polling places in order to prevent universal
intimidation or bribery. The newspapers are
largely subsidized or muzzed, public opinion
silenced, business Frustrated, our homes COW
cred with mortgages, labor impoverished and
the land concentrating in the hands of the
capitalists. The urban wOrkmen are denied
the right of organization for self protection;
imported pauperized labor beats down their
wages; hreling standing army, unrecog-
nized by our laws, is established to shoot them
down, ard they are rapidly degenerating into
European conditions. The fruits Of the toll Of
millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal
fortunes for q few, unprecedented in the his
tory of mankind, and the possessors Of these,
in turn, despise the republic and endanger
liberty. From the same prolific womb of gov
ernmenal injustice we breed the two great
classes-tramps and millionaires.
The national power to create money is ep-
propriated to enrich bondhoders; a vast pub
lie debt, payable in legal tender currency, has
been funded into gold bearing bonds, thereby
adding millions to the burdens of the people.
Silver, which has been accepted as coin since
the dawn of history, has been demonetized to
add TO the purchasing power of gold by de-
creasing the price of all forms of property as
well as human labor. The supply of currency
is purposely abridged to fatten usurers, bank
rupt enterprise and enslave industry.
vast conspiracy against mankind has been
organized on two continents, and it is rapidly
taking possession of the world. If not met
and overthrown at once it forebodes terrible
social commissions, the destruction of civilza-
ton or the establishment of an absolute des-
potsm.
We have witnessed for more that quarter
of a century the struggles of two great politi-
cal parties for power and plumber, while griev-
Gus wrongs have been inflicted upon suffer
ing people. We charge that the controlling
influences dominating both these parties have
permitted the existing dreadful conditions to
develop without serious efforts to prevent or

The German League.

Topeka Press. Jan. 4.
There is a powerful movement on
foot which means great deal in the
shaping and direction of measures
on the political chess board in this
state in the coming campaign The
German-American League is habili-
tating itself to take an active part
in state politics The league is non
partisan. and its intention AMI aim
is to cast it's consolidated vote for
that party which comes nearest fill
ing it's requirements and demands IN
state issues. The executive board
Of the league held a most enthusias
tic and important meeting in this
city yesterday. Hon. Oscar Blschof,
Of this city, is the general secretary
for Kansas, and his time is now
largely taken up in furthering the
interests of the organization.
Branches Of the league are being
formed among the Germans of every
community in the state, and even
the remote counties sparsely settled
are affording members whose names
are being enrolled. Pamphlets and
printed matter are being forwarded
in large quantities to all branches OF
the league to educate the German
people upon the questions that will
come up in the next state canvass
The league will concentrate its
strength against woman suffrage and
prohibition, and will number not
less than 80, 600 votes in the state.
The German. Americans have become
strongly convinced that these isms
have prevented the immigration OF
many hundreds f thousands of their
nationality to the state, and thereby
hindered the development and pro-
press of Kansas They do not con-
slider that prohibition has had any
moral effect upon the state, and as
temperance measure, has been "a to-
tai failure. Through this thorough
and effective organization the Ger
man-American vote in the state will
be largely increased and made effect
i've in the redemption of the state
from fanatcal isms that have operat-
ed greatly to its detrment.

Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1894-04-21

AT the county convention held
last Saturday, Hon. W. S. Tilton
received the unanimous vote as our
candidate for congress. For eleven
years as editor Of the WORLD, he
stood by this county, and western
Kansas, through thick and thin,
and as our representative secured to
ps the only state institution in the
western part of The state-the for
estry station. IL is certainly fitting
that we should stand by him till
nominated and elected to fill the
place, as an earnest, energetic, ag-
gressive and able member, instead of
the nonentity that now and then
rattles around in IN effort to get his
single Hays Military Reservation
bill before the house. 1t is true that
Col. Tilton made enemies while here,
enemies who fought him, and that
hard. What man in his position
would not? But let us further re-
mark that there is scarcely one left.
who is not, now that they know him
better, to be found among his ardent
supporters. We knew that he is
ambitious, but it is the kind of am
bition that forgets self in the zeal to
serve his constituents. We know
that he is honest, and clean hands
will remain with him to the end.
The next house will be republican,
and Tilton will be there to swell that
majority, and help bring Kansas
back to her standing in the rank of
craftsmanship she once held. Our
cause is safe in his hands, and we will
bring to him a larger majority than
any one else whom the district could
nominate.
