P0PULIST MANIFESTO.


Chicago, Aug. 3O.-By order of the
national committee of the peoples
party Enthusiastically Chairman
10 A. Parker and Secretary James E.
Mcbride yesterday issued the follow
ing, addressed to the populst voters
of the United States: "From its in.
ception these populists who have OPP
posed fusion have contended that the
fusion movement was designed to de-
stroy the peoples party organization
and to deliver the honest populists
OF this country to the organized dem
ocracy. The advocates of fusion have
stoutly denied this and, while claim.
ing to be populists, have worked upon
the credulity of many honest men,
who earnestly desired Legislative re-
lief, in order to lead them at the op-
perfume time into the democratic
party.
There is in the field this year q
true populist organization, differed
by men who have been true to princi-
pies and organization of the party at
all times, and who can be relied upon
to keep the grand old flag of populism
flying in spite of the Vaccinations
of schemers and spoilsmen. To the
support of this ticket and the genuine
organization already organized by
the laws of 81 states as the true peo-
pies party, we earnestly invite the
efforts of all who in the past have
favored fusion as matter of expedi-
ency, but who are opposed to being
delivered to the organized democracy.
Let us roll up such a vote for Barker
and Donnelly as representatives of
real populsm, free from the faint of
political prostitution, as to command
the future of this nation and place
our party on the highway of victory"

Decision on ~ Common Law Marriage.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 3l.-A Fargo,
N. D., special says: The alleged com
mon law marriage between William
II. Morgan and Emma Dean Morgan,
of Hope, was no bar to her marriage
to another man, according to deci-
sion filed by Judge Pollock. Morgan
and his common law wife lived to-
gether fer several years, but last fall
the woman met and regularly married
James Daley, of Minneapolis. Morgan
had decided all his property to her
and instituted an action for divorce,
alleging that the common law mar
riage was legal and binding and that
her marriage with Daley was bigamy.
Judge Pollock rendered decision in
favor of the ex-Mrs Morgan, on the
ground that no actual marriage con-
tract existed, common law or other

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.

The REPUBLICAN makes no
denial Of the fact that, ut always
supports its part ynominees," and,
if the Union Record had a party,
and would do likewise, union
labor" would stand better show
Of getting desired legislation
enacted. When its leaders stub
bornly refuse to all themselves
to any political party or have a
party Of their own, and with it
fight for the principle they so per-
sistently preach, then they tacitly
admit to the political world that,
the labor union vote is on the
auction block for sale, to the high
est and best bidder, so far as the
leaders are personally concerned,
hence the edict "vote for labor
union man regardless Of what
ticket you find him on" In most
cases such self styled labor union
candidates are imposters Of the
worst type and never do one thing
to help the laboring mans cause
after they have been elected, but at
the proper time play to the CALLER
les for another nomination and
election.
"Vote for labor union man
regardless Of what ticket you find
him on" whether such candidate
be suitable person for the office
he seeks or not, we repeat, sounds
very peculiar and more especially,
when it has semi-official ring to
it. There is no more probability
of the working men uniting, poll
tically, than there is Of the Catho-
lies and the Protestants uniting
religiously, and, how can they,
when they have no party princi-
pies to unite on orally to. Form
party and then vote for your nomi-
nees through thick and thin as do
Republicans, and, if your princi-
pies be fair, your party will, from
time to time, gain strength until
it finally succeeds. This, union
labor, will do or it will continue to
hopelessly drift in it's frail craft
on the political seas until it is
finally dashed to pieces against the
breakers. Ii "Plutocracy"
furnishes this paper with its daily
bread and butter, we fear, the
same scoundrel's delivery wagon
makes regular deposits at the door
of the Union Record, as it seems
to carry about the same line of
advertisements as does The Re
PUBLICAN, and, it apparently gets
campaign money" just the same
as do partisan papers. We have
no objections to the Record con
torting the expressions Of The Re
PUBLICAN so as to brand laboring
men as ''horse thieves, If it so
desire, since that's all the editor
Of HE REPUBLICAN has ever done
like the devil-but, owing
to the scarcity of horses in this
country, we feel a bit uneasy less
there not be sufficient number Of
horses for all Of the labor union
men to steal one, that our con-
temporary may be correct in
that, we have branded each Of
them as horse thieves.
United labor, which has high and
exalted aims and purposes for the
betterment of the condition of
laboring men is exceedingly COM
mendabIe, but union labor dema-
gougery, which has for its object
individualism for seefsh gains and
personal agrandizement, is deplor-
able, yea, most dispicable, and
should be frowned down upon by
all good American citizens.
