FOURTH WARD GREENBACa CLUB.

FOURTH WARD GREENBACa CLUB.
Pursuant to adjournment the working
nent OF the Fourth ward met at Crum-
hacker hall or Saturday night, to iake
action looking to the adoption oi plat
form for workingnan's or green back
party. which WAS organized on Wednes-
day night.
The meeting was called to order by
President Haley, aud the minutes ot the
last meeting were read and adopted.
The Chair then announced that the
object of the meeting WAS TO adopt a
name for the club On the one side II
WAS advocated TO cali it the Working
mems club, and on the other the Green
back club. Those advocating the Work
ingmen's club made The claim that 1t was
the only proper title tor such an organl-
zstion, rs it would then include nothing
but workingmen; men who earned their
living by the sweet OF their brow, and
whose condition the object OF the club
was to ameliorste. TO call 1t
green back club, it was cOntended that ~
would give room for political trIcksters
TO enter into the organization and be-
come leaders, as by its name the pN&cl-
pies of the club implied that man mod
not be n workingman, but only green
back man. TO become member. This,
thew claimed, was sntsgonistic to the
principles embodied in the call Tor meet
ing. All politics should be ignored IN the
matter, and every move made 5y the club
should be made with the intent on " OF
securing to the workIngmen the just
rights which were now denied him b.
capita lists.
The greenbsck men argued in favor OF
their position by taking the ground that
to have any force or effect whatever, II
would be- necessary to identify the move
ment in this city with national move
ment. The greenback party had been
acknowledged by the labor element as Its
party, and the principles inculcsted in
its platform mad been adopted by work
Ingmens movements all over the coun-
try.
The matter was warmly discussed at
great len .th, and full expression OF
opinion was had, and vote finally re-
suited in the greenbsck element carry
ing their point.
The name OF the club having been de-
crded upon, the Secretary then read the
following report OF the committee ap.
pointed ut q previous meeting to draft
DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
