People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 51, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 June 1895 — Keep Cheering. [ARTICLE]

Keep Cheering.

The Omaha platform, when read the first time, was cheered for the space of forty-five mlputgs, 10,000 voices »ad bands of music swelling the long thunders of applause. There was never such an outburst of enthusiasm, and its echoes shook tbe land from ocean to ocean. It was felt to be a second declaration of independence, and it has drawn in two years nearly 2,000,000 voters together. And shall a small part of it be declared greater than the whole and retire the whole? Can we be drawn apart by a stolen portion of the things which drew us together? The Omaha platform and the Populist party have knocked out the tariff humbug. Tbe old parties are being shattered and disintegrated by the Populist blows which compelled them to drop the tariff and grapple with another dividing question. AB we have to do is to keep our batteries booming and keep cheering the Omaha platform.
