We recognize that The general well

common enemy that should be met
by solid phalanx of American cit.
lzens, who love their country and de.
sire the greatest good to the greatest
number. We therefore recommend
That this meeting request the people
OF the Populist party, the Democratic
party and the Silver Republican
party to use all fair and honorable
means TO secure proper alliance OF
these parties In district, state and
county organizations, to the end that
cooperation may be had at the COM

There are plenty Of good men in any
or all of these parties, pure In prlncl-
pie and tried In patriotism, TO ill
with honor TO their constituents the
trusts TO which the people would call
their servants 10y popular vote.
Therefore we would hope:
First-That the conventions OF the
several parties be held at the same
time and place.

agree upon the same principles and
candidates, maintaining their sepa-
rate party organizations.
