And letters received bv Major
Grant from many of the leading he
pubilcans from every portion of the
State were read, nearly all advising
and urging cooperation with the
Peoples party if the same could be
obtained on grounds far and just,
alike TO both parties. The same o.
plnlon was expressed by all the gen
tlemen who were present and took
part III the consultation and confer
ence. And III conformity to this
general opinion, after an interchange
of views with leading Popullsts "a
conference was had with the dele
gates to the Peoples party State
convention then assembled in this
city. That conference developed the
fact that the Populists were ready
and willing to cooperate with the
Republicans in every honorable way,
and on terms of honor and fairness
IN order to element into one solid
opposition to the Democracy the OPP
posing elements against that party
as exists in the mem bers of the Re-
publican and Peoples parties
Not intending and not having the
authority to bind the Republican
party or any one save themselves as
individuals, nothing was done by
those present to forestall the action
Of the Republican State Convention
in any way.
Having ascertained that cooper =
alton can be had with the Populists
so as to present but one candidate
for each office to be voted for against
the Democratic nominees, we urge
the Republicans in their various
counties and districts not to make
nominations for any office whatever
until after the action of the Repub-
lican State Convention shall have
been had On the both of this month.
Being satisfied that the State can
be easily wrested from the Demo
Gratis by a union of the forces of the
Republican and Peoples parties, we
earnestly urge the Republicans of
the various counties who are in ia
vor of the cooperation of the two
parties for this purpose, to use every
effort to have their several county
elect delegates to the
State Convention who firmly favor
this line of policy for this campaign.
The following resolution was u
unanimously adopted by the Peoples
party State Convention:
Whereas, On account of the
weakness of human nature even the
best and purest men when elevated
to office by one political party are IL
able to be biased and often even un-
consciously, in favor of said party;
and
Whereas, The Peoples party be-
iiCNCo ohaO IuC ueSG interests OF the
State can be served by lifting the
judicial ermine above the, contami-
mating influences of partisan poll
tics, therefore
Resolved, That it shall always
be cardinal principle Of our party
law to select and cast our votes for
the broadcast, purest and best quail
fed for the high and important Of
flee of judgeship irrespective of par
ty affiliations.
In conformity with the above res.
olution we declare our intention to
cast our ballots for Hon. W. T.
Faircloth for Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, Hon. Walter Clark
for Associate Justice to succeed him
self, Hon. D. M. Furches for Asso-
;late Justice to succeed Justice Nc
Rae, Hon. Il. G. Conner for Associ-
lte Justice to succeed Justice Bur-
we'll.
Having full confidence in the above
famed gentlemen and believing that
+ they are elected to the Supreme
