Kork Point Farmers' Club. Club met March 7, 167-1, rresldent (i.S. Downing in the chair. There was a full attendance. Iti'MiliitlmiH were referred to a commit tee of three to report before (lie meeting closed. 'J'ho Douglas county resolutions being In order, there was a spirited discussion of some two hours. Messrs. I'erklus, (I. "W. Hunt, Oreenstreet, O. 8. Downing, John Downing, John Hunt, Manning, nnil Hmltli, in tho anirmative, and Mr. KaiilHbiiry In the negative; on the ayes nml noes being called the alllrmativu carried unanimously with the exception of ono vote. John HuntoU'ered the following: Whereas, It is evident that wary poli ticians are trying to secure tho co-operation of the tax-payers of Marlon county In the coming election by ollering their support of a lew of the cheap nil Ices to the dupes of party who are already pledged to clotr tho wheels of legislation on anything that pertains to the reduc tion of fat salaries, high taxes, or what ever else that tends lo ameliorate the condition or lake from the shoulders of the farmer tbu burdens which he has been carrying and i destined to carry until honest, iiiiasviiiniug men ale chos en (o olllce; therefore, be it Resolved by the eltl.ens of Kock I'ollit Fanners' Club, That we will not know ingly support, for olllce any man who has been or shall be niti.led ny any political rings or corporate bodies In do their dirty work, ngaliit the wishes, welfare, nnd best Interests of the whole people. In the dwliate on the above and other resolutions before the Club it was plainly to be seen that the people did not relish long, windy resolutions, after the manner of political parlies who do so In gull the Klinple. What the people seem In want Is, less resolutions and pledges and more liearly work- In reforming present abuses nml liiinlens. ATlcr a hoit declaration of principles, Ihey waul hearty work done. Nothing else will do. Hubject lor the next regular meeting, "Itesolved, That secret such-lies are det rimental In the best Interests of society."
