1t is a part of the programme to In
sist on the re-enactmenu in party plat
forms this year OF the planka of the
Republican and Democratic platforms
OF 1876. in which both parties declared
against sectarian appropriations and
emoluments from public moneys or
property.
In that year Mr.. Blaine proposed an
amend ment to the constitution, (article
XVII to the effect that neither Congress
nor any State shall pass any law re.
specting an establishing MT OF religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,
or use the property or credit Of the

raised by taxation for the purpose Of

THE PEOPLES PARTY.
a Union With the Advocates OF Silver Ceip
ago Confidently. Expected.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, March 21.-A. T.
Taubeneck, chairman of the nakonal
executive committee of the Peoples
party, who has just returned from the
Hutchinson, Kas., convention said in an
interview:
III believe we will carry next fall all
the territories and . majority of the
States OF the South and West. iacluding
Nebraska, the two Dakotas and be.
lieve Iowa.
1--WE have good Sighting chance in
Missouri and are cer'sin OF sweeping
Texas.
"In the South we will carry without
question Alabama, Georgia aud North
Carolina and South Carolina. II the
union of forces between the silver advo.
Gates and ourselves IL as harmonious ss
everything now Indicates. we expect to
capture all the States south of the Ohio
and Petom&c rivers with the possible
exception Of West Virginia, Kentucky
and Tennessee.
when the national conventions OF
the Peoples Party and Of the National
silver party assemblies In st. Louis,
speaking as chairman OF the national
executive committee Of the former as.
sure you every effort consistenb with
party honor will be made to form o Goa
lition between the two organic atoms.
my individual belief is that our
Presidential candidate will come from
the West or South. The people cannos
trust man from the East. While our
declaration OF party principles will in-
volve an expression on other issues the
financial plank will form the broadcast
and biggest part Ut our platform. We
will demand the free and unlimited
coinage Of both gold and silver at the
ratio OF 1e to 1, independent of the
action Of any other nation"
