The Committee on Platform and
Resolutions submitted the following
report: ....
/ ResoEved, That IN our opinion the
issues which have heretofore divided
the Democratic and Republican par {
ties have been fully and entirely set
tied, and at this time there exists no
good reasons for keeping up the old
Political Parties. That IN our opin. {
ion there is no cause why the labor. il
ing and producing classes should be a
arrayed against each other, but that r
the time has come when they should d
cease to be Ishmalities, and they r
should unite for the common good of n
all. r r
That politicians and demagogues b
strive to keep up animosity between d
such classes solely for the purpose OF D
fostering themselves. d
That under the party drill and h,
party lash, many men of known d
dishonesty and incompetency are Ar
nominated and elected to positions of ar
trust. M
That to avoid these errors we are
determined to select no man for posi-
tion who sacks for nomination at M
our hands-that the true rule is the dl
that the office should seek the man, w
and not the man the office. The only a,
question to be asked in the selection ."
OF candidate: Is lie honest? Is he "
capable? II
