! they read as follows:
believing that with these two men we
have candidates who not only realize and
and appreciate the condition of the COM
mon people, but will give Us relief by SO
shaping legislation that silver will again
be placed in its proper position as a
money metal, and again become the
money of the people at ratio of 16 to l.,
that again it will take the place occupied
prior to 1873 when by false and treach-
erous legislation it was demonetized and
by that means the people were robbed of
one.half their exchange money. Be it
further
''Resolved, That the members of this
club believe and feel that the people of the
United States are able to conduct their
own affairs without foreign help or inter
ference. Be it further
"Resolved, That as means or bringing
about this measure of prosperity that is
of such Importance to the common peo
pie, we, the members of this club, are de-
termined to vote for none, others than
straight out silver men, men in sympathy
with the issue of bimetallism, and those
who will use their best efforts to accom-.
plish the success of the movement. Be il
further
s'Resolved, That the members of this
club owe no allegiance to any party othel
than the great party Of the people-the
silver party-now fighting in common
cause, that for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at ratio of 16 to |, thi
party is in the estimation of the mem

Therefore, be it further

our desire to see and to help place mel
in the territorial offices, and the count,
determined to vote for none, other thai
the regular nominees of the Democratic
or Populist convention of the territor,
of New Mexico and county of Sierra, OF
in the event of fusion of the two parties
