Let me warn you against the pollh-
cal HAIRS who will seek 20 influence you
against the Peoples party.
In isl when our party began ~ won
derful growth the Democratic politicians
on the eve Of the elect on. sprlng the
most Infamous lies against our presiden-
tai candidate which threw our ranks into
confusion and CONSERVATION. Since then
they have tuksn that same candidate to
their bosom and made him one % their
great national leaders. thus making an
omen confession Of their ISLANDERS OF iSc
aud admitting their disreputable purposes
IN circulating their calumuIes.
1T was not Gen Weaver whom they
struck to 1872 but the Peoples party
which they struck with an assassin's blow
In ls9G they bought out
our leaders and shn1ered thos,-
whom they could not buy In 1900 they
are beginning already the same tactics
Their alleged exposures IN Ohio are ex-
amples Of their methods Men destitute
81 principle and honor will be- relied upon
FOR a consideration TO swear away che
character Of the People Party. You may
expect lies. lies. lies. without number
made Just ike tho Hes against Weaver
ana for tho same sinister purpose To de-
stroy the Peoples Party 10 drive YOU
back into the ranks OF che pluto
cratic parties Is the design OF u all You
may expect 10 have the good name OF your
nominees assailoi and the motives OF your
party leaders questioned. let these lies
come. let these assaults be made; but
above and beyond am. remember that YOU
have in your keeping The life OF the Peo-
Piles party and the hope Of humanity
Let nothing deter you from doing your
whole duty IN the work OF saving the
Peoples party "a the coming election
Yours for true reform.
