We, non partisans. citizens and voters of the

have been suffering from disorder and partisan
ring rule, deem it necessary for the best inter-
ests of the State that the people Thereof
should take the management of their
affairs into their own hands, and
have therefore assembled in convention indie
pendent of all old party organizations. A long

custom of electing State and local officers upon
national issues, which have nothing to do with

conduct their government in all its branches
