Cooper movement, and thus attracts the SYM
pathy OF honest, intelligent freemen elsewhere.
We take the following items from the
New Haven (Conn.) Union
The Greenbackers polled seven hundred votes
at the recent Maine election. The ticket was
only run in two counties-Androscoggin and
Oxtord-s.nd the showing is very creditable
In some .. the towns Of AndroscogRn county
the 6reenback ticket carried the day. The
work .. organization will now proceed all over
the state, and that sterling Greenback paper,
Chase's Chronicle, promises a heavy increase
in the vote in November 1t is noticeable that
wherever the Chronicle circulates the vote was
large. The friends Of the cause should see to
it that tie influence Of the paper is extended to
all sections OF the State. The truth is mighty
and must prevail.
There was an immense Greenback mass
meeting al Newark, New Jersey, las: evening.
The Opera Hous- packed and hundreds
could not gain admittance. The great attraction
was honest Peter Cooper, who spoke words of
wisdom, and was received with the greatest
enthusiasm and cheered as ssThe next President
of the United States" Many of the most emf
nent men Of the city We're OH the platform and
participated IN the proceedings. Hon. G.. c.
Lathrop. formerly prominent in the politics of
the State, presided. A rousIng Greenback club
was formed at the close of the meeting Thus
the good work goes on. The Cooper movement
New York too is moving. We quote
the following proceedings:
ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. % The state green
back convention met to-day. The resolutions
cordially endorse the principles laid down by
the indianapolis convention, and declare for
Cooper ard Cary.
ReSctred, That there can be no business pros
perity unless the property is equally taxed and
we therefore demand that government bonds
Shall bear their just share OF public taxation
Resotued, That mole Just system of laws
should be enacted for the regulation of incor.
porateG wealth, so that persons and property
shall not be unjustly taxed for being transport
ed over railroads, and investments by savings
banks and insurance companies shall afford
greater protection to those whose interests they
have III charge. The reading Of the resolutions
caused considerable excitement, one delegate
pronouncing them utterly unworthy Of the con-
ventlon.
Maitland charged that clique had drawn up
the resolutions, and had totally ignored the
Interests OF the aboring men. He was called to
order and the resolutions finally adopted.
Richard Montgomery Griffin, editor of The
Albany Evening Post, was nominated for
governor; Thomas Armstrong, lieutenant gov
arnor: Anthony J. Cuddeback, canal commits
lioner NJ. M. Dixon, Judge Of appeals; Ira w.
srumb, state prison inspector.
And SO we might 90 on quoting para
graph after paragraph until we had filled
.ur columns
It's sufficient to gay to Minnesotians
shat not even the Republican party in the
days OF Fremont, grew at SO rapid a rate
as the Independents are growing now
There is a universal conviction among
the people chat some new organization
isneeded to protect their rights against
tho concerted agrressionS OF organized
capital. The issue at stake is the pres
crvat.on OF their liberties and the exist
cncc ofthe republic.
