Second. We will support no man for office, either county, state or national, who will not pledge himself to use his uin ost efforts to enforce each and every law upon our statue books
Third, We demand such national legislation as will free the producing classes of the United States from further robbery by grain : peculators and trar sportation companies, and en- dorse the principles of the sub-treasury plan of issuing money to the people until some more feasible method be adopted.
Fourth, We demand such national legislation as will increase the circulating medium to $50 Go per capita by free and unlimited coinage of silver and the issue of full legal tender treas- ury notes, and demand that one means used for putting this money into circulation be through a liberal service pension to those who imperiled their lives to save the life of the nation, and by further payment to them of the difference between the depreciated currency in which they were paid and the gold in which the bondholder was paid.
Fifth, While the Republicans of this county point with pride to the administration of Governor Humphrey, we challange it as being void of both wisdom and integrity .
Sixth, We further condemn the last state senate for not removing from office Judge Theodosius Botkin, believing the charges of drunkenness and incompetency were fully estab- lished by evidence produced in the senate trial.
Seventh, We denounce as enemies to free speech and action all persons who declare members of the People's party, socialists and enemies to capital or any just business or avoca- tion.
Eight, We condemn the Republicans state senate of last winter for failing to pass the following named bills which passed the house and died in the senate; being acts
"To prescribe penalties for accepting bribes;"
"To prevent corrupt practices and the corrupt use of money in elections;"
"To prevent railroad companies from employing armed detectives during troubles with their employes;"
"To regulate the rate of interest charged for the use of money, and prohibit usury ;"
"To prohibit waiver of appraisement and stay laws;
"To require all private and public municipal corporations to pay their employes weekly in lawful money;"

[189]
"To confer upon women the right to vote and hold office;"
"To regulate the right of redemption of land sold under mortgage;"
"To punish drunkenness in public officers by a forfeitare of office;"
"To prevent blacklisting of railroad employes;"
"To provide joint rates over connecting lines of railroad in Kansas;"
"To provide for a uniform series of text books by publication and otherwise;"
"To reduce present railroad freight rates, and to elect the railroad commissioners by a di- rect vote of the people.
"To reduce railroad fares to two and one-half cents per mile, and prohibit the issuing of free passes;"
'To set aside mortgage sales for inadequacy of price;"
RESOLVED That in Hon. W. A. Peffer we have a man worthy of our confidence and sup- port, and that we denounce the action of the Republican financial leagne of Kansas for seeking means to defeat the will of the people.
Upon these principles we confidentialy hope to march to local victory at the coming elec- tion and to national victory in 1892, and we earnestly invite the co-operation of all persons who believe in the just and humane principles we advocate.

Third, In the passage of what is known as the Mckinley bill we recognize the broadest and most equitable legislation ever enacted in the interests of the American people; and we be- lieve it will redound to the best interests of all classes of American citizens, irrespective of party or vocation and that it meets with our unqualified approval.
Fourth, We heartily endorse that foremost of American statesmen, James G. Blaine, in his effort to procure reciprocity treaties with other nations.

SEPTEMBER 12. Prohibition county convention. H. F. Douthart was chairman and J. B. Stephens secretary. J. N Scouller, J. W. Margrave and C. P. Stiles were appointed a committee on resolutions and reported the fol- lowing platform which was adopted:
The Prohibition voters of Brown county, Kansas, in mass convention assembled, recogniz- ing Almighty God and Jesus Christ, his son as the source of all power and authority.
First, We declare renewed allegiance to the National Prohibition party and their endo: se- ment of the Indianapolis platform.
Second, We declare it is very important to contend for the maintainance of the many feat- ures of our national and state government already established and to contend for various politi- cal reforms, yet the liquor problem is the most vital, political and economical question now be- fore the American people.
Third, We declare the liquor traffic to be more wasteful of our country's resources than any conceivable system of taxation or tariff and a greater incubus to commerce than any currency policy ever adopted or suggested.
Fourth, We declare with sorrow and shame that our Kansas prohibitory law is grossly .
violated in our state, our county, and our city, and we arraign the various officials whose duty it is to enforce the law as recreant to their trust and perjured by their violated oaths.
Fifth. We declare in favor of raising the revenue for the support of our government by taxes upon possessions aud incomes and not upon what it consumes, thereby discriminating
269

against the poor man. Therefore, we oppose our present iniquitous tariff laws as unjust, op- pressive and solely in the interests of rich monopolies
Sixth, We declare in a reasonable expansion of the currency by a reasonable coinage of sil- ver and by larger issues of paper money so that there will be sufficient currency in circulation for all trade demands and so that Wall street will be rendered less potent in producing panics and depressions to the detriment of the country at large and especially the West. But we are opposed to the free silver coinage craze whereby the silver millionaires who mostly live in New York can receive from the United States mint one dollar for every eighty-five ceuts' worth of bullion.
Seventh, We declare ourselves favorable to the full enfranchisement of women because the denial of the franchise to them is unjust and because we believe their voting would be condu- cive to pure and better government.
Eighth, We declare in favor of the Australian system of voting, and every other practica- ble scheme for keeping the ballot pure.
Ninth, We declare against all systems of bribery, however trivial they may appear and we demand the enforcement of bribery laws against every candidate of any party, who, because he is a candidate treats voters to cigars and drinks.
Tenth, We declare the peoples party, by their record at Cincinnatti, and by persistent re- fusals to oppose the liquor traffic and the liquor power, to be utterly unworthy of the name of a reform party and unworthy of being the political leaders of reformers and opponents of the liquor curse and scourge.
A ticket was nominated as follows: J. M. Marcum treasurer; J. B. Steph- ens, sheriff; C. P. Stiles, clerk: W. Sherman, recorder; William Robertson, sur- veyor; E. F. Sweetland, coroner; Daniel Smith, commissioner, first district; James Dendaurant, Sr., commissioner, second district.
