As tie Popalist State Convention
has been called 10 ~ nov IN order TO
say something ab,st the primaries and
conventions that are soon TO be held
II Is highly important that the voters
Of our party attend their pr Daries,
and see that none but the best men NJ.
chosen to represent tie party IN the
county and state conventions The
issues involved in the coming can
paiEn are greater than ever before In
the history Of this country, for under
the ruinous gold standard millions Of
the bone and sinew Of this land now
have their "fac,s TO the grindstone"
and there IL no hope Of changing these
deplorable conditions unless all patri-
lots rally to the standard OF financial
reform and good government.
IL is sheer folly for those whose
views are ia accord TO divide, aud al.
low the enemy TO conquer, when By
hearty cooperation, success is al a.
sured fact.
The sentiment all over the country
now 10 for union OF all reform forces
to fight the combined power OF gold
and greed. =.
1t, therefore, is the plain duty OF ali
patriots, in this periiOus and menacing
situation to divest themselves Of ali
partisan prejudice, and consider alone
the welfare Of their country. for -he
serves his party bes. who serves his
country best"
And to the end that all citizens who
desire the best possible government 10
| in the : tate and nation, and q feturo
to that period when "sweeter manners,
purer laws" shall bless our land, the
writer would urge most earnestly that
every possible effort be made to effect
honest and honorable co. operation OF
oil the reform forces. This can be done,
and it should be done. The rank and
file Of voters Of all parties want q
change of conditions, and with the
overthrow Of the men who prefer office
always to the Advancement Of grea,
principl there can be q solid, united
band Of patriots, BY whose ballots, the
existing ubiquitous laws may be re-
pealed.
The welfare and happiness of the
suffering millions Of our FELLOW
citizens are paramount to party I'D
vantage, and it therefore behOOves ali
who love their country and deserve
just laws, to support the plan Of Co
operation as endorsed and recommend
ed by Senator Butler, National Chair
man Peoples party, Senator Jones,
National Chairman Democratic party,
and Hon. Chas. A. TOwne, National
Chairman Silver Republican party.
There can be no defeats of the gold
com bine, that is today controlling our
government, unless the voters are unit
ed, aggressive and harmonious.
A warning is here given to the vO-
ters that unless they attend their pri-
maries and conventions and elect men
to carry out the line of policy advocst-
ed by the national chairmen there is
not the remotest. possibility of achiev-
ing success. Too much is at stake in
the coming "irrepressibls conflict ia
allow division and discussions in the
ranks of the refOrmers.
Stitle your partizanship and preju'
dice rise to the height and dignity Of
patriotic citizenship and save your
country, for, as the great Ben Hill, Of
Georgia said:
"Who saves his country saves all things,
And all things saved will bless him.
Who lets his country die, let's all thing die
And all things dying curse him."
