POLITICAL POINTS.

The Greenbackers of Massachusetts assem-
bled in convention at Boston last week and
nominated Wendell Phillips for Governor. The
platform denounces class legislation, land
grants and subsidies, protests against the fur
ther issue of gold bonds for sale in foreign
markets, and demands the reconciliation of
silver.
The Republican State Convention of Penn
sylvania met at Harrisburg on the 9Th of Sep
TENDER and nominated the following ticket ::
Supreme Judge, J. P. Sterrett, by accamation;
State Treasurer, William B. Hart, by acclama-
ton; Auditor General, J. A. NJ. Passmore. The
Committee on Resolutions reported the follow
ing, which were adopted
Resolved, That, while we recognize and respect
the difference Of opinion existing among us as to
the course pursued by President Hayes toward the
South, we are heartily in accord in honoring the
patriotic motives which have guided him. and in
hoping that the results of this policy will be peace,
goodwill, ana complete recognition of the equal
rights of all men in every section of the country
and to the efforts of his administration to carry into
effect the principles of the platform upon which
he was elected we pledge our hearty and cordial
support.
Resozued, That the Electoral Commission having
been created at the urgent solicitation of the Demo-
cratic party, and after the oft-repeated declara-
tons of its leaders in both houses of Congress that
no faction could cavil at it's decisions we witness
with profound establishment the assaults of that
party upon the august tribunal of it's own creation,
because its decisions disappointed their expecta-
ton OF official patronage, which assaults SO far as
they seek to impair the confidence of the people in
the just title of the President to his high Office are
equally childish and foolish, but may become ex-
tremely mischievous in assisting to diminish the
popular respect for the decisions Of lawful tri-
bunals.
The third resolution calls upon the members
OF the State and National Legislatures to assist
the return of prosperity to the country by
adopting such measures as will conduce to that
end.
The fourth and fifth resolutions oppose any
grant OF more than 100 acres of land to any one
person, and also oppose the reissue of patents
by act of Congress.
The sixth resolution is as follows:
ResolUed, That the long and successful existence
under the laws of Congress of the double-coin
S"Audru WARRANTS US III demanding an early repeal
OF the legislation which demoneized silver and es-
tabllshed an almost exclusive gold standard and
we, therefore, favor return to the free use and I'M
restricted coinage eff the dollar of 1885, and it's res
toraton to the position it held legal tender dur
ing eighty years of our national existence, thus
preserving the equality of the commercial value of
the silver dollar with the gold dollar keeping both
in circulation.
The seventh resolution indorses the admins
tration of Gov. Hartranft.
8. We are in favor of the law, and against law
Iessness and anarchy, with all their attendant hor-
rors and crimes. Equal rights in making laws i'm
pose equal duties in obeying them when made and
we tender our hearty thanks to Gov. Hartranft and
the officers and soldiers of his command for the
prompt, and we hope effectual, suppression of the
laWless disturbances which recently occurred in
this State.
y. That we hold in equal respect the rights of
capital to control its investments and of labor to
determine the value of its services; that we depre-
cate any assertion by violence of the rights of
either, and assert it as the duty of all citizens
10 mold their respective rights within the just mita
uons OF the law, and that any attempt to coerce
eltner by unlawful means should be promptly re-
pressed by such lawful authorities as the exigency
demands.
The remaining resolutions, except the elev
enth, which favors protective tariff, relate en-
tirely to State affairs.
