McCormick. C. H. Pierce, J Radford were elected delegates to the judicial convention.


"It was a well conducted convention and inude up of some of the most sensi- ble looking men to be found in the county-mostly farmers, excepting the Hor- ton delegation, which was headed by a Mr. John Radford, who is very much of a Knight of Labor. Mr. Weaver, of Hiawatha, is about such a man as Broth- er Radford, only he can't talk so much. Many of those in the convention, as will be seen by looking over the list of delegates. want office. In fact it is our belief that the party can have no other object, because Republicans and Dem- ocrats find nothing so very hard to swallow in the St. Louis platform Some of those who wanted office the most, however. failed to get it.


There are a number of Republican deserters in the ranks of the People; but then there are still more Democrats-and they will doubtless talk for the Peoples' ticket and vote for the Democratic one."- World.

A platform was adopted as follows:


The Prohibition party of Brown county, Kansas, acknowledges Almighty God as Sovereign maker and Ruler of men, upon whom all men depend for the blessings of life and declares:


That the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages is the great gigantic curse of our race and country and that, until it is suppressed by state and national authority, it is impossible to have pure and righteous government.


That the prohibition of the drink traffic by diverting the immense amount of money now spent for liquor into proper channels of trade would largely increase the demand for bread and meat, manufactured goods and all the necessities of life, thereby giving a greater impetus to business than can be done by any other legislation affecting the infernal business, either re- strictive or regulative.


That we endorse our state and National platform.


A. J. Hill, Samuel Detwiler, H. F. Douth irt, J. M Marcum. Jacob Stick- els, L. McGinnis and J. H McCauley are elected a county central committee.

First-Our continued opposition to all paternalism in government, state or national, as

tends to centralization inconsistent with the principles of personal and political freedom, which were the aim of our forefathers and the hope of their posterity.


Second -- Whereas, owing to the depreciation in prices of farming products and the insuffi- ciency of currency available for the general population, an intense interest has been aroused in economical questions throughout the thinking population of Kansas, and


Whereas, the vast majority of voters in this state are unalterably opposed to increases in the tariffs on manufactured goods at the bidding of eastern capitalists already in receipt of higher protection than the industries require; and as strongly opposed to demonetization of silver in any guise or form, and


Whereas, The delegations from Kansas, in both houses of congress have betrayed their constituents by voting for bills to increase duties on manufactured goods and thereby to strengthen the monopolies and trusts which are eating the substance of the nation; and voted likewise for the silver bill concocted between John Sherman, the avowed champion of Wall street banks, on one side and the wealthy mine owners on the other. whose effect will be to ma- terially raise the price of bullion without giving the people the silver money they asked for, and


Whereas, These bills were so antagonistic to the western interests that the Kansas delega- tions had not the hardihood to speak in favor of their policy, though both representatives and senators tamiely voted on every occasion against the convictions of their constituents on the most important issues of the session, and


Whereas, the spiritless surrender, body and soul, of Kansas, to a powerful combination of eastern manufacturing and money interests is alike shameful to our intelligence and courage and menacing to our material progress, and


Whereas, Senator Plumb, in debate, declared that the present duties were more than enough in justice to consumers, and yet voted for a bill to increase them and


Whereas, The Atchison Champion, the foremost Republican organ of the district has re- peatedly characterized the tariff bills, for which these un-Kausans, and political dishonest ser- vants of the people voted, as outrageous and unjust, and


Whereas, in a congressional election practically the only issues are those which affect the people in national legislation, and


Whereas, the record shows, that if a few western Republicans had voted with the Democrats for just tariffs and free coinage of silver, both objects could have secured therefore, be it


Resolved, that it is with a deep feeling of humiliation, that we, the citizens of Kansas, whose fortunes and happiness are inseperably bound to the welfare of the commonwealth, have viewed the poltroonery of our delegations in both houses of congress; that in national legisla- tion which closely affected the remuneration of all classes in Kansas, receive for their toil and investments, Kansas was counted for financial and industrial politics, originated by Eastern monopolies and calculated to make worse the unequal and unjust absorption of western earn- ings; that the press of both parties in this state was a unit in expressing public opinion earnest in the demand for a revision of the tariff more favorable to the west and a currency more suited to the needs of the masses in all sections. Every vote of the seven representatives and the two senators was cast at decisive moments for measures denounced in every meeting of any party in Kansas which passed upon the subjects; that these cowardly traitors to their people did not pretend to believe as they voted; that they wore without protest the shackels of caucus while they gave the worthless consent of their tongues to opinions prevalent in their homes; that con- tinuance of that course would unconditionally surrender Kansas to the monopolies of machin- ery and money which have bought the Quays and Dudleys of the Republican party ; that we call upon our fellow citizens of this great state to rebuke the mortifying desertion of our cause in national economic legislation : that the only way to impress the rebuke upon actual events is to vote against nominations of the same ring which controls the present delegations, and that thus alone can Kansas rise the prestige and escape from a condition of economic slavery, which at once impoverishes us and brings us into contempt.


Third, we favor a service pension law as a just recognition by a great and powerful repub- lic of the brave men (now old) who made it possible for the republic to exist to day.


Fourth, We are opposed to the electoral force bill introduced by Lodge of Massachusetts, as an unnecessary interference with the rights of the people to self government; and because we believe the real purpose of the bill was to draw public attention away from the iniquities and in- justice of the Mckinley bill, and keep up an antagonism between the west and the south.


Fifth, We denounce as unlawful and repulsive to good government the employment in the civil service of the country, of Pinkerton detectives, and demand that the constabulary essen- tial the preservation of the peace and protection of property, shall in all cases be composed of citizens of known probity and patriotism .

255


ANNALS OF BROWN COUNTY.


1890]


Resolved, That we, the Republicans of Brown county, in convention assembled, once more pledge our belief in Republican principles as declared by the nation and state Republican platforms and we most heartily endorse the positions taken by such party leaders as James G. Blaine and Mr. Speaker Reed.


Resolved, That we approve the national and state administrations and are proud of the record of President Harrison and Lyman U. Humphrey, the soldier candidate, whom we believe has more than proven himself worthy to serve the great prohibition state of Kansas as governor for the second time.


Resolved, That in Senator John J Ingalls Kansas has a representative who is greater than any in the country as an orator, a statesman, a thinker; that his Republicanism is of a stalwart kind which never wavers and is never afraid; that we want him re-elected because he is should- ers above all others the fittest man for the place


Resolved, That in Case Broderick of Holton, we have a candidate for congress who stands out fairly and squarely for Republican principles. He is sound ou the tariff, sound on pension, sound on the silver question and can be trusted as honest and true, like the man he succeeds and we believe that no people ever had a better representative than Hon. E. N. Morrill.


Resolved, That we regret that any party should urge that a law of the state be repealed be- cause it is not enforced. If it is not enforced it should be, and we favor prohibition more strong- ly than ever before and demand that the law be rigidly obeved in Brown county; believing that liquor is a more terrible blight than drougth and more dreadful than pestilence.


Resolved, That we never weary of the praise given to the old soldiers. distressing as it is to the press and speakers of the two other parties The soldiers are the back-bone of the nation, and it is through them that all of us, even the croakers, enjoy the blessings and liberties com- mon to this and to no other country .


Resolved, That endorsement of these resolutions means to every Republican the healing of old sores, the birth of new hopes, the death of any fears Sincere Republic faith opens up an easy road to a glorious victory. Republican principles are the grandest and the party is one of hope, freedom and justice It is the only one for and by the people, and those who have loved it will never march under another flag.

We, the representatives of the Democratic party of Brown county, Kansas, in convention as- sembled, declare,


First, We denounce the present attempt of the Republican party to perpetuate its lease of power, by means of the socalled Federal election bill as an outrage upon a long suffering people.


Second, We denounce the Republican members of the present National house of Congress from Kansas for their unanimons vote for the Mckinley bill which will not provide a market for a single bushel of wheat or corn or a single barrel of Kansas pork or beef.


1890 1850


Third, We demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and the issuing of government legal tender notes sufficient to do the business of our country.


Fourth, We demand such a change in our fiscal laws as to leave the control of the circula- ting medium of the country in the hands of the government


Fifth, We demand equal rights to all men, exclusive privileges to none. Therefore we favor a tariff law based upon public necessity and not upon the greed for capital.


Sixth, As democracy is a party of wage earners and producers, we sympathize for labor in its present struggles with the insatiate money power whether in the factory or on the farm.


Seventh, We demand that our legislature exercise its undoubted power to regulate the oper- ations in our state, to the end that they may not charge a higher rate for the transportation of agricultural products than for merchandise.


ยท Eighth, That it is the seuse of this convention that the railroads and all other moneyed corporations doing business in the state be required to pay taxes upon the full value of their capital and property .


Ninth, As the Republicans of this state in their late convention made Jolin James Ingalls an issue in this campaign, we are compelled to ask'the people of Kansas to repudiate a man, who, in a widely circulated interview, denounced politics as an "Irredescent dream," declared that "The decalogue has no place in politics, " and expressed the belief that the use of money in campaigns and employment of hired Hessians, such as the Pinkerton detectives, were justi- fiable.


Tenth. We are opposed to all sumptuary legislation and we demand of our representative, if elected, to vote and work for the immediate repeal of all sumptuary laws, and to use his in- fluence for a constitutional convention.
