says:
"In Cm first place we do n jt un

Suppose thatthe calling of a

"If we are in error, we certainly
think that such is not carrying out

ae coming June oieuuuu . deleaates who are oonauae mem

by ambitions of a personal charac

all corrupting influences, standing
on the Bimple plat'orm of common
boun ty and the right of the people
to have good government eoouom
ically administered, Oregon can
bo carried by the men who voted
for Bryan in 189C. For no other
kindot ticket than the very best
and ablest, and for noothor purpose
thin to improve state and county
government, will the voters who
laid aside all party feeling in 1896,
to support a common candidate
unite under one banner in JS93.
"All efforts to compel them to
unite under this man's banner of
Democracy, or that nun's banner
of Populism will come to naught.
The rights of the taxpayers to re

better laws and bettor administra
tion aro higher than the rights of
any party, or the interests of any
politic n for revenue. In the state
of Nebraska the Union of the peo
pie has triumphed until every state
official is responsible to the people
instead of ring-ridden parties. Re
sult: order in state finances, bolter
laws, convictions of publio defaul
ters and progress of the people.
"Do the people of Oregon want
an opposition parly on those lines,
or do thoy want their votes stut
tered in the interests of corruption
a j heretofore? We believe in on)
Btrong, united opposition reform
party made up of the Bryan voters.
Yt don't care whether it is called
Democratic, People's, or Union of
all three. Such a party under
clean control and as good leader
ship a cin be found in the rank
and file of the three Reform parties,
will do moro to compel the Repub
licans to out batter men to the

tmm of the People's party; yet the
rloWitAi are oDPortioned on the
basis of the vote for Bryan ; which
in no sense can be regarded as an
exclusive People'd party vote."
