Those portions which strike at local ana oiate
abuses are particular and peculiar. some Oh -ho
hard-money advocates would have prelerreu
stronger resolutions on the currency and financial
subjects but having repudiated the idea of bringing
into the State canvass national issues they did not
feel warranted in punging into contest on this
subject, which, while it would probably result III
their triumph, might weaken the new party IN It's
attempts to bring about reform in the state. The
n1atonists did not show themselves in the Conven-
ton. The canvass will begin at once and Senator
Schurz will take the stump on the side of the
people.
