convention con-vention assembled July M 1890 nereby adopt the following resolutions IWe endorse and ratify lie declaration of principles made by the Peoples party in Febru ary last as follows Declaration of Principles The basis of free government is the right of the people to govern themselves The oojcct of the federal constitution is to secure X free government to the people of the United States wherein all persons shill be protected pro-tected in life liberty and property and in the enjoyment of every right essential to their happiness and not inconsistent with the rights of others We regard tho constitution as a sacred charter 01 human liberty we revere its principles princi-ples and declare our unwavering allegiance to tan government and laws made In pursuance of its provisions The Peoples party has always upheld these principles I has maintained the right of local selfgovernment It has contended for the freedom free-dom and purity of elections I has opposed class legislation I has promoted honesty in all branches of the public service I has maintained main-tained equality before the law I has been characterized by justice prudence and ildelity Taxation has been uniform and lower in Utah than in any other territory There have been no extravagant salaries no jobberies no schemes for great bonded debts Life and property prop-erty have been secure morality has been fostered fos-tered and vice repressed I is the patty of con servativp progress commensurate with public necessities and resources Opposed to tho Peoples party is the self styled Liberal party which professes to venerate ven-erate the Constitution while violating its fundamental truths I arrogates to its mom I btrj the honored name Americans while seeking to deprive a large class whie American citizens of the substantial rights of freemen Through its persistent misrepresentation mis-representation the right of trial by jury has been abridged and almost destroyed in this territory By procuring unrepublican test oaths and other prOscriptive legislation it has difranchised many citizens oecauso they would not support its men and measures For this cause only it has succeeded in robbing the women of Utah of the elective franchise after they had exercised it for fifteen years I has endeavored to suppant a legislature elected by the people with a commission appointed by the federal government I has sought to erect an insuperable barrier of prejudice against the admission ef Utah as a State I seeks to extend ex-tend to this territory the infamous enactments by which in Idaho thousands of lawabiding citizens are stripped of every political right 501el because of their solely membership in an unpopular un-popular religions organization It avows through its organs its intention to procure such Congressional legislation as will debar all persons who belong to that religious body from acquiring title to any part of the public domain I is therefore destructive of popular liberty and unworthy of the support of any just liberal and patrfotio citizen lberl We believe tbat the supremacy of the Liberal party means class disfranchisement excessive taxation official extravagance and laxity in public social regulations and that the supremacy suprem-acy of the Peoples tinny means equality before the law reasonable taxes official honesty and prudence and the maintenance of the proud reputation of the people for law and order J H PAUL PAUL Chairman Committee on Resolutions The resolutions were then adopted without with-out comment Mr Moylo then exploded the bombshell by rising and stating that the delegates present were acquainted with the proceedings proceed-ings of the Workingmens convention held last night and with the ticket they had placedin tho

party and knowing their feelings I say you have done the wisest thing of your lives inn political sense I am sure you will never regret it1 Applause Then Hero arose a cry as to what the ticket should
