Show to any change in the character or name of the organization which has successfully maintained them for many years. The Peoples Party is intact, and should be preserved in its integrity until the people of Utah have obtained their full rights and privileges as American citizens. There is ample room upon its platform for every citizen of Utah who venerates the Constitution of our country and is willing to obey the laws made in pursuauce thereof, and who desires the of local self government, no Territorial Election, Nov. 6, 1888. triumph matter what may be hie opinions or affiliations upon national issues, It is a party of the people and for the people, aud is devoted to the people's interests.

Indeed such a course TL.0 Ensign. Sami. R. Thurman. PRINCIPLES OF PLATFORM arena. In past contests our strength has been conin our unity. We have not been PARTY DEMOCRATIC THE TERRITORY OF UTAH. We believe it to be the duty of every citizen of a tree government to understand its principles and to interest him-se- ll in its administration. That the most efficient action in this direction can be had by identitymg ones sell with an organized political party. That the principles of the Democratic party have been most conducive to the establishment and preservation of our free institutions in the past, and, il adhered to in the future will secure their stability and aid their growth. We recognize the following as some of the most essential principles of said part$, to the maintenance and propagation of which weas individuals and as a party, pledge ourselves . 1 We reaffirm and endorse the princi pies embodied in the platform adopted by the Nationalconvention of the Democratic party held in St. Louis on the 17th of June, 1S88, and endorse the nomination of Grover Cleaveland for President and Allan G. Tnurman for Vice President. An inviolable preservation of the 2 Federal constitution, and this we undei-'stan- d to include the preservation to to the people of all rights the States-anand poweis oi government not expressly, or by necessary imputation, granted to the Federal government. 3 To foster a spirit ot independence, so tliat the citizen shall rely for his prosperity upon his own industry, energy and economy, rather than the special aid or protection of the government, which is always unequal and often unjust. 4 The enforcement of all valid laws, and upon the question of the validity of auy law, the decision of the court of last resoi t is tiual, and should be accepted in good faun until by legitimate agitation, it obnoxious, its abrogation or repeal can be secured. Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state, ldigious or political. Freedom of religion, of the press and of the person, under protection of the law, and of an enlightened public opinion. Absolute separation of church and State. The safety and well being of each demanding that neither in its organized capacity, should in any manner in- -' terfere with the other, 5 .And we further declare it to be our firm belief, that it is diametrically opposed to the principles of free government, for any citizen to yield to any man or set of men, the tight to control his political action.aod that in doing so, he does an injustice to himself, ancf to his country, and to civilization. And while we strongly insist upon the right to enjoy the benefits we believe it to of local be impossible that this right can be well exercised or these benefits fully enjoyed by any community where the many are controlled by the will ot the few to whatever partv that lew may belong. 6 We believe that no man can be a consistent Democrat and' at the same time advocate the principles of or vote for the nominees of any other political party, local or national. The Democratic platform, as of old, 7 means the greatest good to the greatest number, and recognizes as worthy memcitizens bers of the party all who subscribe to its principles, support Its nominees, adopt its usages without regard to past political affiliations pr religious convictions. 8 That the affairs of the goveinrijen can be safely entrusted to the intelli geuceofa free people. That all just government is derived front the consent of the governed. That eveiy citizen ahnuld be allowed tiie exercise of the pubgreatest liberty consistent with the lic good and safety. That any form of colonial government is incongruous with the political system of the United states. is a cardinal Local principle ot Democracy, and as such we affirm and endorse it. 9 Religious belief or fidelity to any church or opposition thereto, should never be made the test of political or official preferment. I11 the selection of officers to administer and execute the laws, fitness for the office should be the only qualification required. jo To the end that free local may be secured, and participation in national affairs had and maintained upon the basis of these principles, we pledge ourselves to support them, and to struggle that they may become predominant; and invite all good citizens, who believe that the principles thus enunciated should be supreme, irrespective of religious belief or previous political affiliations, to unite with and aid us to consummate this end. law-aoidi- nt THE PEOPLE S PARTY PLATFORM. ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. Salt Lake City, October, iSS8, To the County Central Committees 0 the People's Party: Gentlemen. As the time is approaching for the election of a Delegate to Congress, we deem it wise and proper to address you briefly on tho political situation ill this Territoiy. The Peoples Party stands upon the platform of principles which has sustained it heretoioje. They aie founded in the fundamental truths that underlie our national system, Theyaie IMPERISHABLE AND INDESTRUCTIBLE. we see no reason to turn from them or WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL to local interests, while it would accomplish nothing in the broader political THE. OF OF . quered because we would not be divided. The alleged branches of the national parties in this Territory have each resolved and proclaimed that they will not act on party lines, but work under the name of Liberals against the Peoples Partv. They set forth in vigorous words the folly of division as Democrats and Republicans. Under these circumstances common prudence, if nothing else, would suggest that the members of the Peoples Party should engage in no movement tending to separate them into other parties or factions, and make no pledges which would prevent their full with their tried and true friends, in the face of COMBINED HOSTILITY would against them. Such division perhaps, not materially affect the result m the election for Delegate to Congress, but might become disastrous wheu local issuessn counties and cities shall be at stake. I11 onr opinion the time has not come for the people of Utah to organize under any national party name, but every interest and indication urge the necessity of closer union and more determined action as the partv of the people. At the Territorial Convention, Hon. John T. Caine, our faithful and efficient Delegate in Congress, was renominated by acclamation. Let the voters of Utah imitate their representatives and rally to the unanimous support of the nominee of the Peoples Party, and, avoiding all that entanglements and attachments would tend to separate their interests and influence, cling to the party under which they have heretofore fought their political battles and achieved a succession of signal victories. Central By order of the Territorial Committee. John R. Winder, Chairman. Elias A. Smith, Secretary THE LIBERAL PLATFORM. The Committee on Resolutions presented the following report, which was adopted: , The Liberal party of Utah, recognizing the fundamental issue in thisTerritory to be one between the adherents of lawful civil government on the one s de and an ecclesiastical organization known as the Mormon Church on the other, and be lieving it to be the duty of all good citizens, in the presence of such a contest, to maintain the organization which has always upheld the supremacy of the laws, to continue in the paih of duty, again appeals to the patriotism of the people and the loyalty ot all American citizens. We declare that the Mormon Church is an organization hostile to all civil authority artd that true progress in Utah is prevented by its claims to, aud exercise of, temporal power. Its open and bold defiance of the laws of the land, its obstinate adherence to the right of its priesthood to rule its followers in all things, its aid and counsel to those guilty of offences against the laws; its efforts to inn each itself in power by securing Statehood for Utah1 under conditions which would make the control of its priesihood perpetual; by affiliating with one political party in Idaho, and with another in Colorado, governing their action in each case by the probabilities of securing (avois to themselves only, and repudiating all political associations in Utah txcept with the Church party, proves it to be everywhere, and at all times, the foe of all th.it is loyal and the representative of all that is evil in the affairs of Slate. This condition is one explanation of the necessity lor the existence ol the Liberal partv. We believe in the supremacy of the constitution aud laws of the land, and that it is the duty of the citizen to bear true allegiance to them and that until these fundamental doctrines aie accepted 111 Utah in good faih, the duty of the United States to its loyal citizens resident here as well as to those who are its enemies, is to continue to enact such special jegislation for this Territory, and enforce it as will secuie the former in their rights and compel obedience from the latter. That tile restoiation of all local governmental authority of the ecctesiasiial power which is dominant in this Territory by adiniting Utah into the Union as a Slate would be ruin to its population, would install in power a treasonable organization in the heart of the Republic, and is forbidden by every consideration of political expediency and moral duty; aud we protest agamst any credence b;ing given to the statements now being circulated that the altitude ftof the Mormon Church has changed towards the government or people of the United States, We note the same hostility to the laws, the same efforts to obstruct their enforcement, and the same unvarying determination to adhere to church supremacy as in the past; and we warn the people of the nation that all the nominal professions to the contrary are mere tricks to deceive instead of efforts to reform. The Liberals of Utah earnestly desire to promote the welfare and happiness of all ils people, who would gladly welcome any class of its population who honestly seek reform from priestly misrule, and we would exact nothing from any which we do not willingly submit to ourselves, but in the interest of all we must accept tiie contest in which we are now engaged which involves the triumph or overthrow of that which lies at the basis of and is nothing less than obedience to the laws or defiance of them. So long as this shall be the issue in Utah our duty as American citizens admits of 110 divisions among ourselves on the other questions, and we pledge ourselves to faithfully adhere to these purposes until loyalty shall be the rule aud the reign of law shall be the same in Utah as elsewhere under the national flag; therefore it is Resolved. That it is the duty of the Liberal party to nominate a candidate for Delegate to Congress at the coming November election, and to cast for him and claim for his support the votes of all the faithful Americans citizens. Resolved , Second, that we recognize the patriotic action of the majority of the Utah Commission as expressed in their report for 1888 to the Secretary of tiie Interior. and endorse the recommendations therein contained. all civil government, Dr. D.
