can find it in the soul inspiring platform
framed at Omaha. If that platform is put
in force it would make this new country
In less than two years. Then the United
States would actually be the home Of the
brave and free. 1t never will be II the
Peoples party fuses with those low-lved
omce-seekers. Let them roll up their
sleeves and go to work and earn their
bread as God ordained by The sweat Of
their brow in place Of being bloOd-suck-
ing leeches, living on the life of others,
The people are sick of these political fusion
tricks. I am confident that the large ma
jority will stand up for straight People s
party ticket. The rank and file of the old
parties will come to us. have voice and
a. pencil and will use them fearlessly in
the interest Of the Peoples party until my
pulse ceases to beat or reform comes.
am Scotchman and know what govern

Glasgow, Scotland. The same benefit would
befall mankind here in United States II the
voters would only open their eyes
to facts and vote accordingly. Stand by
the Omaha platform and if we die we die

WANTS ANY POPULIST AS DIR. JOHN
SON.
(By Pat Kavanaugh.)
1 favor going it alone. 1 voted fusion in
'96 for the first and for the last time. l hope
to have chance to vote straight Peoples
party ticket this fall. for l will vote no
other. Any good POpulist like DR.. Christian
Johnson will suit me, but l shall not again
throw my vote away on any policy mon
grel man.
WOULD PUT DIRT OVER HIS VOTE.
(By NJ. T. Nelson)
1 am in favor of the Omaha platform and
no other. l will not vote fusion ticket. I
would sooner stick my vote into the ground.
A FAR-REACHING VIEW.
<By George w. GreenD
To fuse means not to be for the Peoples
party. The Silver Republicans have not yet
cut loose nor have the free silver Demo-
Gratis either So they still belong to the
landings where they are tied But the Peo-
pies party is boldly sailing out to 1900 and
victory. There is to be no dead weights on
board, nor do the empty sounds of the mere
names of Democrats or Republicans attract
her. We take the heritage of our fathers,
who declared independence of the monarchy
under which they were reared, and pushed
forward to q still greater freedom. Let the
old machine politicians and parties rot in
their useless mOoringS.
Finally, let me advise special stress to be
laid on the initiative and referendum; work
by ourselves; educate the masses; and when
the campaign of 1900 opens the people will
have learned their rights and how to obtain
them. l am with you ever, opposed to fu-
sion, and for the full mid-road program
REFORM.
(By Frank r. S1nith)
Our people have lost faith in the leader
ship that traduced our party in 49, In their
disgust they have abandoned hope. hence
inaction.
Break away from the Owenized renegades
ana plant yourselves on the gospel of Oma-
ha, and WE WILL BE WITH YOU TO A
MAN.
JOHN LIND ASHAMED OF U.s.
(By VIM. N. Nelson.)
l believe in standing by the Peoples party
and th7 Omaha platform. If John Lind is
ashamed OF being called Populist then let
MIN go. There are men our state who
have spent time and money to build IN the
reform movement, and they are entitled to
nomination over those who have never
spent five cents or five minutes to push for
ward the Peoples party. No fusion for me.
