We especially emphasize the importance of protection to home industries, to the end that employment may be provided for all, with its reward, without being compelled to enter nto competition with the cheap labor of the Old World.
We heartily favor the free coinage of all silver produced by the mines of the United States, with a tax on importations sufficient to exclude the products of foreign mines.
Second, We denounce the present state administration for its violation of the laws and contempt of the courts, the corruption and incompetency of its officials, its gross mismanage -

ment of the state institutions, and for the discredit it has brought upon the good name of the state and we pledge the Republican party and the nominees of this convention to a faithful and economical discharge of all official duties and to a strict observance of an honest enforcement of the laws, and to obedience to the mandates of the courts.
Third, We endorse and commend the action of the state convention in placing at the head of the ticket Brown county's most honored citizen, Major E. N. Morrill.

WHEREAS, On the 26th inst, the Republican Judicial convention of the 22nd Judicial Dis- trict of the state consisting of the counties of Doniphan, Brown and Nemaha, meets at Hiawa- tha in Brown county, for the purpose of placing in nomination a candidate for the responsible and honorable position of District Judge. Now therefore, this Republican county convention of Brown county, consisting of one hundred and ninety-six delegates. chosen from all parts of said county beg leave to call attention of the said Judicial convention to the following facts: That Brown county has never had a judge of the District court, since the organization of the state; that when Atchison county was associated with the counties comprising this district, and since Atchison, Doniphan and Nemaha have each and all been honored with this Judicial office and Brown county has ever remained faithful to the Republican party. and voted for candi- dates from each and all of the other counties notwithstanding she has presented candidates to several conventions who well qualified in ability and in legal and moral education. Brown county has selected Hon. W. F. Means, a man well qualified to fill this honorable and respon- sible position ; his well known character for integrity, his legal learning and his sound judg- ment particularly fit him for the place. No one in the district is better qualified. This conven- tion, therefore, in the interest of all the inhabitants of this judicial district, in the interest of public justice, and as an act of simple justice to Brown county, calls upon the said judicial con- vention to nominate for the office of District Judge of the 22nd judicial district, our most worthy and esteemed fellow citizens Hon. W. F. Means.

The committee on resolutions reported the following which were adopted:
We, the delegates of the Peoples party of Brown county in convention assembled do here- by reaffirm our allegiance to the principles enunciated in the "Omaha Platform, "and the Pop- ulist state platform of June 12, 1894 and point with pride to our delegates in congress who have been untiring in their loyalty to that platform and the people.
We hereby heartily commend our present state administration in its economical and wise legislation whereby it has saved to the people thousands of dollars and especially do we com- mend Gov. Lewelling for the manly stand he has taken for the poor and oppressed, recogniz- ing that the poor, the landless and the unemployed have rights worthy of respect, as well as the money baron, or railroad king.
We also point with pride to our Populist legislators for their efforts to enact into law every pledge made to the people.
We demand aside from pensions, (the soldier wants justice, not alms) that the govern- ment pay every honorably discharged soldier the difference between the purposely depreciated money in which he was paid, and that appreciated kind made for the banker and the bullion holder.
306
ANNALS OF BROWN COUNTY.
[1894
We demand the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the old rate of sixteen to one, and we denounce any party as an enemy tosilver, and in favor of a gold standard who prates about parity, and change of ratio, and one dollar being worth another dollar, etc.
We are unalterably opposed to Major Morrill's plan of issuing interest bearing govern- ment bonds for national bankers in times of peace, thus saddling greater burdens upon the peo- ple in times of depression, but rather in their stead we demand that congress enact into law the ssuing of full legal tender notes in payment of the expenses of the government.
We believe that the late strike has demonstrated beyond all reasonable doubt that labor (meaning by this term all people whether they be employed in the factory, the shop, the mine, or in transportation, agriculture or mercantile pursuits) must make an intelligent use of the ballot to protect its interest, for when courts act solely in the interest of capital. labor is left without protection. When labor elects to legislative positions men who are in touch with itself then and not until then will labor be represented.
We believe in the right of men to organize, to promote their welfare. that when organiza tion is effected the greatest, fairest and most effective weapon is the ballot.
We condemn the unwise and cruel policy of all government parties in this nation whose legislation has favored capital and oppressed labor, and we point with alarm to the alacrity with which the federal government comes to the aid of incorporated tyranny against the masses in the battle for bread, which instead of following out the lines as intended by the founders of this Republic and incorporated in the constitution, is tending toward Wall Street's invitation of the despotism of Europe.
We believe government ownership to be the final and only solution to the railroad ques- tion, and to this end we ask that the government take possession of by foreclosing its mortgage upon the Union Pacific.
We condemn the Republican party of Kansas for its cowardice in refusing to meet the is- sues of the day, and for entering upon a systematized campaign of falsehood and vilification as a cover to divert the attention of the people and we invite all fair minded men whose love of justice will not allow them longer to remain, to come with us and we bid you welcome.
We, as delegates of the Peoples' Party. are not "Ashamed of Kansas," but rather are proud of her. We have pinned our faith (be it as it may) on her rich valleys and her fertile hills, but above and beyond all this, we have a firm and abiding faith in the "Common Sense" of her people therefore we enter the campaign with renewed hope, trusting and believing that victory will be ours, and that our governor will not be "Ashamed of Kansas."

We, the Democrats of Brown County in convention assembled, re-affirm our allegiance to the Democratic principles taught by Jefferson, Jackson and a long list of statesmen, declare
First, That we are in favor of a tariff for revenue only, so laid as to bear heaviest on the rich and lightly on labor.
We favor an income tax and commend Grover Cleveland for the manly stand he has taken for the tariff reform.
The thanks of the Democrats are due W. L. Wilson for his untiring efforts to pass a tariff bill that will meet the demands of the country and redeem the pledges made to the people.
We approve of the sentiments expressed by Grover Cleveland to Chairman Wilson and believe that in due time the Democratic administration will redeem all its pledges made to the people.
We are in favor of the free coinage of silver and gold with the ratio of 16 to 1 and believe that the late financial troubles were the natural outgrowth of the financial legislation of the last twen- ty years.
We are opposed to class legislation believing that it tends to foster monopolies that in turn oppress the labor of the country.
We are opposed to strikes and lockouts, but believe that there ought to be a law to conpel cap- ital and labor to arbitrate their differences.
Weare in favor of liberal pensions for all soldiers of the late war and hope the pension list may always be kept as a roll of honor.
We are in favor of the election of United States Senators by the direct vote of the people.
L. C. Clark was nominated for representative, Nathan Jones for probate judge, C. H. Pierce for county superintendent, Fred Smith for clerk of the dis- trict court and Jas. A. Clark for county attorney.
