form and has proven itself an organized machine
for plumber at the public crib. ARd we denOunCe

of thiS government and build them anew.
Resolved, That we are In favor Of the present
monetary standard which provided for the use Of
gold, silver and paper money, every dollar good
al the other, interchangeable one with the other.

republican party intends to do away with the use
of silver and paper as money and pass TO the uso
of gold a0neI that we aye In favor OF sound money
irsr last and all the time and dollar a. good for
the wage Garner as for the capitalist.

present county superintendent Of public instruct
ions Of Phillips county for Introducing aud teach
ing party politics In our late county normal; be.
lieviEg thatparty politics and Rect8ranigm should
not be taught In our public schools.
We aek all voters 10 carefully consider what 10
best to be done at the coming election and decide
for themselves whether or not they are willing to
take promises from those who have made prom
iqes before only to break them.
The democratic party promised ue tariff reform
and good times. What did we getf A debt Of
$3.50 200 ,0O0 factories closed and thousands idle.
The popocrats now promise free silver and good
times. What will we get! Deprecated money,
silver, mOnOmetallism and hard times.
We have unbounded and abiding faith in VIM.
