 That we have the warmest feeling of friendship, for the republican party. We appreciate profoundly the kindness they have hitherto extended to us. . We have endeavored to some extent to repay their uniform Friendship by voting for two of their candidates for congress in the last election. E .f We would like to render them any pos- sible service. consistent with the main tenance of the principles of the peoples party, - We agree with them in their demand for honest elections, but are opposed to their party on the paramount national question of the free coinage of silver. at IS to l. consequently we could not hon. orably ask them to surrender their con victions on this question. or put them, as republicans, on our ticket. - We would. be delighted to have them upon our ticket, provided they will come as ex-republicans. and promise them full representation on that basis on all our tickets. ni, ; And we hereby solemnly pledge Iour party to repeal the Sayre election Ia v and substitute therefor an absolutely fair election law 1proHided the republicanS will indor6e our ticket and assist usa bSs their ballots to- capture the legislature and governorship.
