list party has always been q party of
principle rather than q party in name.
And the Virginia Populists would be
willing again to lay aside their name,
II by doing 50 they could have the great
principles Of political reform they es-
poused embraced by the good people Of
our state. Will the independent Demo-
Gratis. independent Republicans, the
Prohibitionists and labor unions do
likewise?
The gathering together Of the inde-
pendent people from all parties and
unions will insure the control Of the
next general assembly. Then will start
the great move of reform. Under what
plan, then, shall the people work out
the great principles of reform SO much
needed? The Populists call upon all
reformers to unite for the overthrow of
machine politics.
The whole system Of Jurisprudence
tends to foster corporations to the detri-
ment of the peoples interest. A grand
union of the people is required to over
whelm the monster evils predominant
in the commonwealth.
In consideration of all OF which, and
for the purpose of working out the great
reform measures herein referred to.
and the many others needed, we invite
the united strength of every citizen in
the commonwealth.
1. We demand the destruction of
trusts by making it felony to organ
lie or be interested, directly or indi-
rectly, in one.
2. The election of United States SEN
ators by the people, and that our legis-
lators refuse to support any one for this
Office who opposes this measure.
3. The enactment of fair and hon
est election law.
4. The improvement of the municipal
and state public school system, and to
divest it of every semblance of political
partisanry.
s. Constitutional amendments that
will reform the judicial system, and
all the Anticipated costly state govern
ment
6. State legislation that will invite
industrial capitalists and manufacture
ing interests to come into Virginia, and
the enactment of laws that will protect
and foster them without discrimina-
ton.
Z. An annual appropriation common
surate with the demand and necessities |
to be set apart for the benefit of the old |
soldiers and soldiers home.
8. The building of houses of correc-
ton for female and young criminals
guilty of minor offenses.
9. The enactment of laws requiring
the penitentiary and Jail convicts to |
work the public roads in organized |
chain gangs distributed over the state,
wherever practicable
10. The repeal of the land grabbers' |
act"
II. Laws that will prohibit corpora
tons, domestic or foreign, including
building loan associations, from con-
Quoting usurious business in the state
Of Virginia.

coin which would make it the financial
ruler of the world, if we are to be on a
| metallic basis. In the recent war with
Spain this country was subject to the
dictation of the monopolies which con-
troll the coal, the iron and the Oil, and
was forced to pay to syndicates and to
monopolies whatever price they might
exact from the government in order
that it might carry on the war and ex-
list. All these monopolies which are of
such public character, and which have
a tendency to Cypress the people by ex-
actions, should be taken charge of, alb
solutely owned and operated for the
whole people instead of for the few.
Closing, the temporary chairman
said:
wish to impress upon you the neces-
sity of active work in promulgating
these principles. We are this year
fighting upon the skirmish line of tho
great battle of 1900 While to a super
fetal observer it may appear at this
time that the Peoples party which we
represent is but handful; that we
have radical ideas; that we are demand
ing some impractfcable things; that we
are not skilled in finances; that we are
not professors of political economy; yet
holt &l~%
founded upon true economic science.
We know that an educational work is
going on among the people, and among
many classes of people which have not
yet been identified with the Peoples
party organization, and which will be-
fore long burst out into wonderful
growth, and adhere to that political
party which is in the field advocating
the principles which will correct these

wrongs, and furnish the people cheap.

keep in line; to keep our lamps trimmed
and burning; to propagate our doc

Of season. and it will profit us to pay
less attention to discussing in the fu-
ture the question of fusing, which is
now buried in the Democratic grave,
and it's funeral sermon preached by the
chairman OF the Democratic national
committee. Let us pay no attention to
side issues. Let us pay no attention,
and give no aid or comfort to either
Democrats or Republicans, who want
our votes only to elevate them into Of

self-sacrifcing men who, without the

Have nothing to do with them. Every
one knows their Democratic party will
never for moment put into practice
the referendum.
Their committeeman are getting ready
to apply to you for the addresses OF
four Populist workers, especially such
as are on local committees. What for !!
To send to Clarke that he may try to In
fuence them with Tammany promises.
They even propose a state mass con-
ventlOn at the same time in December
our committee meets, when they are to
again import those old chestnuts, Weav-
er and Butler.
The lines must be drawn clear and
distinct. Be class conscious. Depend
only on those men in your counties who
withstood temptation in '9S. Wherever
possible nominate only farmers or wage
earners. Refuse to recognize any UNI
willing to indorse the Cincinnati con-
vention. Follow none who will not
swear to vote for the candidates Of
either OF the two old parties.
In South Dakota they found it a most
effective way to break up the Peoples
party to jolly up the Mid Readers, to
pretend they themselves had turned
Mid-Roaders. This is what Morrison,
OF Mankato, has done. This is what
Clarke's fusion committee will do.
Beware Of them. II they are really
converted-these slippery eels-why
don't they publish their Endorsement of
the Cincinnati convention, eschew Bry-
an and Lind both? Why don't they help
us organize REAL referendum clubs:
Why?
TO HON. JOHN LIND.
Maj. Bowler is publicly declaring that
"Lind is going to be beaten, because he
don't recognize Clarke"-a mean thing
to say of the governor, who could have
appointed an able man, instead of Bow
Ter. But what else could one expect of
the major. small enough to be willing
to sell the whole Peoples party for
SELF? But, oh, how hungry Clarke
and Stacy must be!
Lind loses nothing by overlooking
them. We said Lind would not lose
anything by overlooking Cations re-
quest not to appoint Dobbyn Nor did
he. Because, in spite of the slight,
Cation has since declared he will come
out as Democrat, pure and simple.
Again we compliment the governors
Judgment. Overlook fusionists. Behind
them there is nothing but noise. They
feed on beans. But, governor, you
must not neglect to strengthen at least
one weak point in your Democratic
party. Orville Rinehart must be con-
suited. Besides, that other Democrat
Of Minneapolis, Breslauer, although dis
liked by the rank and file, must be pla-
Gated, because he is the father of DEM
ocratic primary manipulations. Be-
ware lest your secretary, Rosing, un-
sciously colors his advice with personal

In religion he's Christian,

care and effort given to the adornment
of its lawns and yards, and the local
pride and good will toward each other

The editor of the Record enjoyed Q
pleasant visit last week, in one of the
best cities of the state. We refer to
Owosso. where the annual meeting of
the Republican Newspaper Association
was held. This thriving city owes
much of its prosperity to the numerous
factories within its borders and in addi-
ton TO the factories the shipping facili-
ties afforded by the many railroads
centering there. These factors are i'm
portant In the upbuilding of town no
matter where located, but no less inn
portant is the spirit of the citizens of
the town, and we were impressed with
the go ahead progressive spirit of the
residents of Owosso, which has been re-
markable. The citizens have an i'm
provement association which is con-
tinually on the lookout for new in
dustries and when they see good
thing they are already organized to
capture it if possible The hotels and
stores do brisk business and there is
general air of prosperity and business
that impresses every visitor with the
idea that Owosso is good town to live
in. The newspapers of the place give
evidence by the amount of space used
by the merchants, that the citizens
realize that the newspapers of their
town are large factors in the growth of
their city, and that if they are upheld
by a liberal patronage, the city receives
back many times more benefits than it
bestows upon the papers.-Buchanan
