POPOIDS AT
SIOUX FALLS
Continued From First Page.

THE first victory of the Peoples party
was victory over falsehood. 1t dared
to tell the truth. The next great victory
was a peaceful one-a victory for the
spirit of '76, which won everything, tax
ing possession of the Democratic party
in national convention assembled and the
| true democracy of the nation was
founded.
THE next, and the greatest victory
yet, was won at St. Louis In 1895, when
the people conquered the prejudice, con-
quered ambitions, conquered love of life
and growth of power-conquered them
selves
THE spirit of liberty is abroad in the
land
This convention stands as a guarantee
that liberty shall not die on this contin-
ent. The Republican party stands for
everything that we oppose. Our aims are
different and our methods are also differ
ent. We seek to restore to the people
the rights which fraud and corruption
have taken from them.
LAS 1 believe in the guidance of the
Almighty. so 1 believe that this conven-
ton will glady, joyfully. endorse the
nomination already made by the great
common people"
