should be elected by the direct vote of the

people
 Seventh That bribe gi>ing or taking in order to influence political or official ac- ton should permanently disqualify the of fender for the exercise of the elective franchise, and for holding any public of flee.
 Eighth-That the importation or mmi- grafton of Chinese should be prohibited, and it should be the policy of the State and the people to discourage the employ ment of Chinese in any kind of industry. Ninth-That the waters of the State should be the general property of the whole people, to be held and distributed under the public authority.
 Tenth-That the ownership of land by aliens should be prohibited.
 It is idle to expect the promotion of these principles by any existing political party. Therefore the pro- ducers of the country are impelled to independent political action as the Land and Labor party, pledging themselves and the organization to secure by every lawful means the election of officials who shall embody these principles in laws and shall carry them into practical effect.

 It will be noticed that many of the gentlemen who at that time associated themselves with Mcguire for the pur- poses set forth in the pamphlet are still with him and are now either assisting him to control the affairs of the Popu- list, Silver Republican and Democratic parties or are themselves candidates for office. Among the number whose names are more familiar to the general public are Joseph Leggett, James H. Barry, William M. Hinton and Walter Gal lagher In 1886 Hinton was a candidate for Mayor on the Labor ticket and re- ceived 1435 votes In the following year he and Barry and the others joined Ma guire, the Land and Labor party Mes siah. Now they are stanch Democrats, enthusiastic Populists and conservative Silver Republicans-and are all candi- dates for office.
