A CALL.

a OALLs
To ALI. LABOR ORGANIZATIONS, BRANCH
ES OF THE FARMERS ALLIANCE, INDIE
PENDENT POLITICAL, CLUBS, AND OTHER
SOCIETIES INTERESTED IN THE PUBLIC
WELFARE OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND.
Felloz0-C Citizens and Brothers In the
name of the Stars and Stripes and the
principles on which our Government
stands we ask your organization to send
three delegates and three alternates to a
convention to be held at No. 4I8 East
Baltimore street, Baltimore, beginning
Saturday afternoon at 2 O'Clock, April 6,
1895, for the pur pose of forming a polit-
ical party in the States of Maryland
Our action is demanded by regard for
law and order, which is constantly being
defed by reasonable corporations and
trusts which are now using our sacred
institutions as means for individual
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT by our love of liberty
which is now being denied American
citizens, the majority of whom are forced
by poverty and the fear of starvation to
surrender their most sacred rights as men
and women and by our love of truth and
public honor which are ruthlessly set
aside by set of irresponsible, thieving
Adventures who have grasped the reins
of power and now rob and Cypress the
people. With unbounded natural re-
sources and great accumulated wealth,
our state is filled with hungry men, I'M
able to find employment. The children
of the people are growing up in ignorance,
being stunted i'll factories by work that
should be given to their parents, or being
trained in crime on the open streets. The
people is ignored, public health, public
education, all public interests are set
aside, and our politics have become
mere field where adventurous office
seekers scramble for personal advance
nlent. We believe that the time has
come to again emphasize the high ideals
of the founders of this commonwealth,
when all patriotic citizens should rally
under the standard of the Stars and
Stripes for the purpose of rescuing our
institutions, SO dearly bought by the blood
of our fathers, from the grasp of traitor
GUS corporations and their tools.
If your organization sees fit to send
delegates to the convention above men
toned, please communicate at once with
the first name signed to this call.
Very traternally yours,
WALTER VRooMAN,

The above "Call'' was sent THE MID
LAND JOURNAL with the request to pub
fish. On inquiry we ascertained the
purpose of the movement is to form
perfect organization by bringing together
all the disafected who are thoroughly
disguised with the ring rule which has so
long overridden and dominated the hon
est political and moral sentiment of the
State Baltimore is the centre and citadel
of this ring rule and corruption, and an
active propaganda work has been going
on i'll that city for some time, the most
active workers in which believe the move
| ment is able to poll vote of $4,000 at
the next election, secure a working ma
jority in the next legislature, and perfect
a thorough Peoples party organization
throughout the State.
AS strong representation as possible
from every county is desired and desirable
to attend the convention on April 9th,
| when preliminary steps will be taken,
after the consensus of the reform feeling
is had from all parts of the State, for
nominating State ticket aud securing
the necessary petitions for placing the
ticket on the election ballot in the city
and counties. We hope Cecil will be
we'll represented at the Baltimore meet
ing and help shape the movement so that
the State will be fully prepared to take
step with the national Peoples party
movement for the election of President
and Vice President IL 1896. Get together
and perfect an organization is the first
step. There is large vote ready for such
movement in this State. The old parties
have nothing to offer the people but
husks.
