Appellate Court Convention ReSo.
IutiOnS,

lullOUS,
"The alien money power which alike
dominates the present Democratic
ADMINISTRATION and Republican party
confidently relying on the unstinted
support Of every trust, combine and
syndicate and every species Of corpO-
rate monopoly, which lives and
thrives off the earnings Of the pro
ducing and working classes, believing
that it has so fortified itself on the
legislative, judicial and admin
iStratiye departments Of our gov
eminent, aud 50 divided the peo-
pie and aroused their partisan preju-
dices as 10 prevent its overthrow,
has issued its challenge to the Amer.
lean people to contest its supremacy,
and declared its ultimate purpose te
establish the existing gold standard
as the permanent financial system Of
the republic. 1t also at the same
time threatens our people into still
further contraction Of the currency,
destruction Of credits, financial pan!CS
and ultimate ruin if they do not
tamely submit to its exactions and
/ join the worship Of its golden calf.
"We, believing that the adoption OF
the present gold standard as our
permanent financial system, means
the dominancy Of the moneyed class,
poverty, degradation, and sergitude
| for all other classes, the overthrow Of
republican institutions and establish
ment OF European social cOndi'
tiOns, accept the challenge Of the
gold power and pledge ourselves tC
make a determined and re.entleSS
! fight for the overthrow OF this dan,
gerOus and destructive foreign money
power, and the restoration OF the
republic Of our father.
ITO this end we invite a cooper
alton OF all those who believe in a
better financial system, the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at ratio
Of Is TO |, rather than retarded bus
mess, to join US IN this contest.
THE peoples notes or bonds should
not be issued without their cOnseD,
through congress. We cenSure the
Republican party for its inconsiSt
ency in denOunciDg President Cleve
land for issuing bonds in time Of
peace, and at the same time killing
in the Republican house a bill passed
by the senate prohibiting such issues
without the consent Of congress.
Firmly convinced that the gOlC
power as embodied in the Republican
party, must be OyerthrOwn before an!
other reforms in our government cal
be obtained without abating Oul
loyalty and allegiance to the cardina
principles Of the Peoples party, VI
+ are willing, in view of the tremen
dOuS interests at stake, to make GU
chief contest in this campaign tn,
free coinage Of silver and we cal
upon all those opposed to the main
tenance Of the existing gold STANDARD
to join with US and help preserve Jht
liberty of our citizens.

w. DennisOn as a candidate for tn,
