tions offered by Jacob Bowers and P. j.

WHEREAS, Past experience has fully demon
strated the policy, and impropriety of further
continuing the corrupt practice of having the
man seek the office, and thus bring into dis
repute our whole political machinery.
And whereas, it is the honest desire of the
Greenback Labor Reform party to securely bar
the door of our party against the admission of
any and all dead beats, and professional politi-
cal wire-pullers into our ranks.
Therefore be 1t resolved that we will support
no man as q candidate for Office of whatsoever
kind in Perry county, who does not receive his
nomination as follows That every election
precinct in the county has the right, If 1t so
desires, to name one man Gas candidate for one
particular Office and no more), whose name
shall be presented to the Convention by the
delegates representing the candidates district,
and one or both of said delegates shall be re-
quired to state in open Convention, that the
gentleman named did not seek the nomination, +,
but that his name is announced as the choice
of his district, and that no candidate shall be
allowed to canvass or have his name an
nounced before the Convention by any other
district than the district in which the candi-
date resides.
Resolu ed, That we, the representatives of the
United Greenback and Labor Reform Parties,
in Convention assembled, do heartily and
unanimously approve the platform and resolu-
tions adopted at Williamsport, Pa, on the 10Th
of September, and that we leave nothing
undone to insure the success of the State ticket
then and there nominated,
ReSolved, That the county ticket placed in
nomination this day be given the full, free and
