Silver Club Resolutions.

Pawnee Rock, Kansas, April 10, ls97-Resolu-
tions adopted by the Pawnee Rock Silver Ciab.
NATIONAL
Resolved, that Eeverently, in the fitness of
things, thank the good Lord for the removal, by
the expiration of service of that equity hero
Of Buzzsrds Bay. and the remsnding to the grave
Of eternal oblivion his plutocratic reign.
That while he may have established reputation
- Q fisherman, hunter and veto proelaimer. an
executive in the Interest OF The masses failure.
And further, while we believe in the fullness of
Law and order. yet We stand amazed that the great
and good God of cause and effect, should suffer this
arrogant tool Of oppression and traitor to his party
immunity denighed more patriotic and exemplary
executives that have suffered martyrdom at the
hands of the assassin.
That we further believe, that man ever left
the presidential chair SO utterly despised by so
many people. not even the usurper, r. B Hayes.
And further, that 1t would be the proper thing
for the governor Of the great progressive state of
Kansas to appoint day of fasting and prayer for
our deliverance in the opportune time, from the
sad calamity and accursed reign of Grover Ceve-
land.
Further resolved. that while we are thoroughly
satisfied over our political achievements in our
fusion coalition at the late fall elections. having
secured pronounced victory in all branches OF
state government. we were expecting line OF legis-
lstion in accord with campaign promises.
Further resolved, after waiting on. and waiting
ever till the legal expiration of late Legislative
assembly. confronted with the facts that the
harvest time has come and gone, and little or nc
tangible points are visible.
We feel that the gravity of the situation has bee
trIed with, and that this offending Legislative body
should be held responsible, both for its sins Of
omission and commission, and remanded back t.
the sweet charity of future repose.
To those who apparently were in accord with
required promises. are truly thankful for theii
patriotic and loyal work.
