What is the Object of the Third Party?
THE Peoples Party.)

The .Sil0ey Knight answers ITO re-
store the government to the people, to
furnish them with the gold and silver
money of the Constitution, and sufficient
legal tender paper money TO answer the
demands of business, maintain prices and
create prosperity"
Talking of platforms, we would wish
for no better platform than this short
paragraph contains. It absolutely im-
plies everything expressed in the Omaha
platform and all that is practical i'll every
movement for REFORM With this platform
and such candidate as Senator Stewart
placed or it, the party would sweep the
country. "To restore the government to
the people" That is the first step. That
must be done before anything else can be-
Placing the government once more i'll the
peoples hands with W. M Stewart as
President, who has been tried as by fire,
would mean everything the people are
longing for. The movement that ousted
Shylock and placed the people in posses
sion of their own, with an honest, able
and courageous man at the head of the
executive department, would mean one
reform after another in quick succession
as they could be adjusted without injury
or harmful disturbance to honest business.
Such changes might knock Wall street
business "endwise" but who would mourn
except Wall street.
Give the Peoples party short para
graph platform which carries all the
above embraces, with Senator Stewart as
our candidate, and every voter in the
United States would know exactly what
it meant.
To permanently secure for all time a
restored government i'll the hands of the
people, step from delegated to direct
legislation must be made. The people
must keep the power to legislate in their
own hands, and exercise it as law max
ing power, in place of delegating it to
irresponsible Legislatures, Congress, Gov
errors and President. These nominal
servants serve no longer when the master
places the whip in their hands. See how
their servant Cleveland is using the whip
OH his master, the people Had free
coinage of silver been submitted to the
people, in one day they would have
restored it. Were it submitted on the ard
of next November it would be decreed
the law before sunset by vote of five
to one.
The telegraph would be made depart
ment of the post Office, as it is in every
other country. The ocean of water would
be squeezed out of railroad stocks and the
transportation business placed in the
hands of the government to serve the
people, in place of domestic and foreign
syndicates. And so with every natural
monopoly. The people would be called
to vote on the merits of a question and
not for party name as now. Their votes
would be cast by the light of intelligence
and not, as now, in the darkness of ignor-
ance or the glimmer of the "fox fire"
of party.
Senator w. M. Stewart as candidate
would be the strongest plank in the
Populist platform.

JENNIE L. WEBSTER
VS..
JOHN NJ. WEBSTER.
In the Circuit Court
For Cecil County
In Equity.


The object of this suit is to procure decree for
a divorce q vinculo matrimoni divorcing the
plaintiff, Jennie h. Webster, from the defendant,
John NJ. Webster.
The bill states that on or about the 9th day of
August 1885, the saia Jennie L. Webster was mai
ried to her husband, John W. Webster, and with
him resided in Cecil County, Maryland, until the
24th of August, 1890. The bill further alleges that
the conduct of the plaintiff toward her husband,
the said J John NJ. Webster. has always been kind
and afiectionate and above reproach and that the
said John NJ. Webster, has, without any just cause
or reason, abandoned and deserted her, and has
declared his intention to live with her no longer,
and that said abandonment has continued I'M
interruptedly for more than three years and is
deliberate and final and the separation of the
parties beyond any reasonable expectation of
reconciliation.
The bill further alleges that the plaintiff and
defendant have had one child born to them from
said marriage whose name is Webster, who
is years ofage.
And that the said John NJ. Webster is a nom
resident of the State of Maryland and does not

in Equity, that the plaintiff cause copy of this
order to be inserted in some newspaper published
in Cecil County, once in each of four successive

object and substance of this bill, warning him to

Mckinley.

The Republican nominee as things
look at present,-and there is little pros
pect for change,-it is almost certain will
be Mckinley. Goldbugism is not nearly
so strong as the bulldozing process of the
bankers and bond dealers had hoped to
make it. McKinley's handlers have
baited their hook with platform to catch
the miscellaneous and promiscuous Re-
publican voter.
He is a good deal confused on the
money question and can't understand the
$50 cent? dollar the goldbug attempted
to frighten him with. He doesn't know
much about finance he admits, but the
so cent dollar buys hundred cents worth
of everything and he can't see how it can
be only so cents. So he half suspects the
goldbug of trying to palm lie on him.
McKinley's platform that his Ohio
handlers have baited with is wonderful
arrangement of words. 1t is either gold,
silver or :paper-any one of them or all
together, just as the voter likes. There is
dead certainty about straight goldbug
platform, and it is pretty plain the rank
and file are not in love with that. The
Mckinley article on the other hand,
seems such delightful uncertainty. that
the bewildered voter will be stronly
inclined to bite at it.
To check this popular drift the others
haven't single reserve to fall back upon
or call up to their support. The record
of the party for these many years has
nothing to strengthen the aspirants among
the people. They all had rather conceal
that record. And Mckinley hopes the
beautiful uncertainty of his position will
win the nomination.
A straight goldbug platform will not
win at the polls. The politicians see that
already. The bankers wish is father to
the belief that it would. Will straddle,
bug platform, such as Mckinley has put
up, win? There's the rub. The people
have been fooled twice with it. Can they
be tricked the third time?

Silver Party.

When the shareholders rebellion broke
out in 1861 the dyed-in-the-woolo old party
ties who could not 60 against the old flag
but lacked courage to take sides with the
Republican party boldly, called themselves
Unionists," and organized Union"
party. They figured as the Union
party for about year and came out as
the Republican party, which was the only
alternative. We now see the same trans
formation going on. The patriotic men
who will not enlist under the rebel flag of
the English goldbugs, who pretend to be
Republicans and Democrats call them
selves "silverites' and talk of a "silver
party" All such occupy similar posi-
ton to the "Uniorists" of the 'border"
States at the outbreak of the rebellion.
AS there was no place for the Union party
of 1861 but the Republican party, so there
is no place for the 'silver party" of 1896
but the Populist party. The old partyites
who had been denouncing the abolition
lists for years as fanatics and cranks,
could not at once fall in line under the
republican flag, when they resolved to not
go into the rebel ranks and compromised
with their old party prejudices by calling
themselves Unionists.''
So with the patriotic men ofto-day who
refuse to join the English gold ring rebel
lion against American institutions, but
whose party prejudice is too strong to let
go at once, call themselves "silverites."
As the Union party in 1861 meant Repub-
lican party, so silver party in 1896 means
Peoples party. The Republican party
was Union party, as the Peoples party
is silver party. There is no place for
silver men but the Peoples party, as there
was no place for Union men but the
Republican party when the slavery rebel
lion was in progress; so there is no place
for silver men but the Peoples party now
when the Rothschild rebellion against
American institutions is in progress.

Hamilton's Principles.

Alexander Hamilton was the founder
of the Federal school of politics. He
made no secret of the fact that he favored
a Monarchy, and wished our system to be
as near like the English Monarchy as
passible. He wanted the President to
hold office during life or good behavior;
he wanted the Senate constituted the
same way; he wanted the State Cover
nors to be appointed by the Federal Gov
ernment; he wanted the Militia of each
State under the control of the Federal
Government, and the laws OF the States
subject to Federal veto.
The man who closely studies our insti-
tutions at this time will be sure to observe
how dangerously near to predominance
the Hamilton Doctrine of Class Rule has
come.-Tom Watson's Peoples Party
Campaign Book.
