Of Massachusetts, Nominatcd-Pia!iorm
Opposed 10 Mckinley and Bryan.

We, citizens OF the United States,
assembled for the purpose OF defending
the wise and conservative principles
which underly our government, thus
declare Our aims and purposes. We
find our country threatened with alte.-
native perils. On the one hand is
public opinion misled by organized
forces OF commercialsm that have per-
verted war intended by the people 10
be a war OF humanity into a war OF con-
quest. On the other hand is a public
opinion swayed by dcmagogic appeals
to iactional and class passions, the most
fatal OF diseases to a republic. We be-
lieve that either of these influences il
unchecked would ultimately compass
the downfall OF our country, but we
also believe that neither represent the
sober convictions of Our countrymen.
The convention was called to order
by Thomas NJ. Osborne OF Auburn, N.

delegates were volunteers who had re-
piled by their presence to the invitation
issued to all persons in sympathy with
the objects of the party.

have increased nearly $50 per cent. over
