lowing principles, and upon these we ask the sup
port Of the voters Of this county:
we reaftirm our allegiance to the cardinal
principles OF our party as enuncated in our ma
tlonal platform and unqualitiedly endorse the ac-
ton OF the st. Louis convention In the nomin;l-
ton OF Bryan and Watson, believing that said
nominations were made as the result of the hon
est Judgment OF the great majority of the conyen-
tlon, for the patriotic purpose and as the best
means of uniting the advocates Of good govern
ment in the coming election
1--WE respectfully remind the general public
ana the democratic press in particular, that par
ties like men, are judged by performance, not
promises, and the broken pledges of the demo
cratic party in the past usties us in requiring Of
them an ante:election evidence Of good faith, anC
we assert that the peoples party and the genera
public will have reason to doubt their patriotism
and non-partisanship in the present movement
unless they prove the sincerity of their expressed
wish for union Of reform forces by the recogni
!, tion OF our party, on which they must depend TO
success, and the endorsement OF our candidate
for vice president Having implicit confidence ii
the love of justice and the ability for sef-govern
ment of the great majority OF the American pee
J ple and that the intelligence Of that majority,
directly expressed In the enactment OF laws
would inevitably result in the greatest good to tn
greatest number.
!, ave pledge ourselves to use all honOrabl
means to establish that method Of enactlng law
