For if the Dispatch and its friends were not hurt, found fighting that strip meeting, what would be their position if we should descend to attack their past record and of the mannor they hn ve carried themselves in the last campaign, and we have in our possession proof that in due time we Shall bring to the light the hidden and secret deceitfulness of that paper whose only aim is to dofeat the people and its claim of being independent, is but a lie, Its choice in lighting that meeting is on record. That record is neither manly, nor honorable. If the people's party are for the public course of the Dispatch, let us out of it now. One thing iscertaiu, if tho people will take and be led by a newspaper that is ashamed to advocate opening the strip or fears to have a better and competent paper to advocate it, and prove as the Leader has proven the case against them, there is no room for us here because there are too ninny pa i story of the People's party that leeds consideration and honest ac People, to Principle, Or Loyalty to the Money, the Bepublioan Party and All Traitors to Both Old tion to'correct the mistakes of the party.

That meeting presents to the world a truth that cannot be denied und all the fabricated falsehoods told by the opposition and sustained by money, will react, and come against the enemies like a cyclone at the polls this fall, when thepeo-will vote out all of this beastly and unbearable sin against the holy spirit of our God and the-slavery curse of thfe nation. That meeting presents a test of loyalty or disloyalty to the people. "Whom will you serve? God or mammon? You cannot serve two masters." You are in it or out of it, and your action and vote is the test of your realty to one party or the other, and none do anything else if they are honest. If you love party, city home, father, mother, anything, money or the lust of it, property, or business or the profits of a newspaper, morethan the least one of the principles of the people pie you are not a people's party man or woman, but you are the product of your own choice, and must stand or fall by your own.choice and no one else's choice.
