found a place In the waste basket of public
opinion

movement, and its promoter, Mr.. w. r.
Vaughan. who is Washingtonian, is conf
dent that the principles manifested will
take deep root. and that the party as an

the coming presidential campaign. savior
Of the country from the iron heel of despot-
ism. MIR Vaughan formerly mayor of
Council Bluffs. Ia, and is we'll known
through the west.
Looks for Large Attendance.
Mr.. Vaughan is confident that there will
be a liberal attendance of devottes to the
new party from every state and territory
in the Union. In the literature that has
been sent out 1t is recorded that the dele
gates from states and territories to the ma
tionaI convention OF Vaughan's party of
Justice and equal rights will of course for
mulate their own platform but it is to be
hoped that no delegates will be chosen who
are not in a general way in sympathy with.
and. in fact. in hearty accord with the
principles set forth above

Platform Discussed.
THE PLATFORM" according to the circular
calling the convention, 'is simple, but ia
strong enough to bear any weight. 1t con-
tainS no rotten planks covered with paint
or whitewash. 1t makes no statements ca
pable of many constructions, but is SO plain
that he who runs may read, and the name
should appeal irresistibly to the great heart
OF the American people which throbs al
ways with the love OF the justice which
alone can insure the perpetuation of Ameri-
can liberty"
This sacred day seems" the circular
reads, "a peculiarly auspiciOus time for the
founding of a new party, Of which justice
Is at once the corner stone and watchword.
The old parties have become effete, corrupt
careless OF popular opinion and the welfare
of the people, intent only upon pelf, pap
and power And another Lexington is
needed TO clean away the dense mist of in
and darkens the sky of freedom.
The Corner Stone
Justice Is the corner stone upon which
is reared the superstructure of society. law,
even life itself but modern politics have
degenerated into a struggle for pelf and
power. and beneath the heels of contendng
factions the rights OF the people are tram
pied to the earth.
"A large part of the American people.
disgusted with both the old parties. sup
theory of choosing the lesser of two evils,
and are prepared to espouse any new polit-
fcal organization which gives promise OF
relief
"Vaughan's Justice party. as its name
implies, proposes to remedy many of the
evils from which the people are now suf-
fering.'
