CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.

Cooper movement, and thus attracts the SYM
pathy OF honest, intelligent freemen elsewhere.
We take the following items from the
New Haven Comm Union:
The Greenbackers poled seven hundred votes
at the recent Maine election. The ticket was
only run in two counties-Androscoggin and
Oxford-and the showing is very creditable.
In some y. the towns of AndroscOggin county
the Greenback ticket carried the day. The
work o. organization will now proceed all over
the state, and that sterling Greenback paper,
Chases Chronicle, promises heavy increase
in the vote in November. It is noticeable that
wherever the Chronicle circulates the vote was
large The friends Of the cause should see to
it that the 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 at Newark, New Jersey, last evening.
The Opera Hous- was 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 'sThe next President
of the United States" Many Of the most emf:
nent men Of the city were OIL the platform and
participated in the proceedings. Hon. c. c.
Lathrop, formerly prominent in the politics of
the State, presided. a rouslng 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. 26.---The state green
back convention met to-day. The resolutions
cordially endorse the principles laid down by
the Indianapolis convention, and declare for
Cooper and Cary.
Resc!red, That there can be no business PROS
perity unless the property is equally taxed and
we therefore demand that government bonds
shall lear their just share OF public taxation
Resoiued, That more Just system Of laws
should be enacted for the regulation of incor.
pOrated 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 in charge. The reading of the resolutions
caused considerable excitement, one delegate
pronouncing them utterly unworthy of the con-
vention.
Maitland charged that clique had drawn up
the resolutions, and had totally ignored the
Interests OF the laboring 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
)iOner; NJ. NJ Dixon, Judge Of appeals; Ira w.
yrumb, state prison inspector
And so we might 90 on quoting para
graph after paragraph until we had filled
;ur columns
tits sufficient to cay 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 q universal conviction among
the people chat some new organization
isneeded to protect their rights against
tho concerted aggressiOnS OF organized
capital. The issue at stake is the pres
crvation OF their liberties and the exist
cnce ofthe republic.
