.All the nominations were made unanimous
RESOLUTIONS.

Delegate Miller, chairman, presented the
resolutions, ten in number, adopted by his
committee. They We're read by Delegate
Mccormick, who, it should be known and
not forgotten, was the author thereof, with
the exception of a couple of planks incor-
porated at the suggestion of Mr.. T. p Rynder
of Altoona The latter gentleman was pre-
sent in a Sem-official capacity, to take care
that what Mason and Sutton thought about
matters should not pass unknown. The re-
solutions were as follows:
The National c Cfreenback-I.abo party Of Cam
hra County, in convention assembled, declare:
First, That the present deplorable condition OF
labor property and products is due TO the contrac
aided lam and abetted by the DemocrItfc party
Second, That the present dcplorahle condition
Of labor Is in great measure duo to the exclusion
of the laboTor from the land which God created for
the free use Of all; and that. as means toprcvent
and rcuovo land monopoly we advocate the pass
aye of graduated tax upon land, the same as
third. That. as the experience Of the past cen
tury has demonstrated that the present system OF
legislature. both state and National Is fraught
with great danger TO our free Institutions therefore
we favor the change OF our present system Of law
making to one IN which the laws shall be drafted
l,v representatives chosen by the people and sub
mittcd 10 their sufragcs for rejection OF adoption
Fourth. That all officials of the Federal, State
and nuniciral governments and also county Off
GERS receive compensation only for the actual
vices performed, and that all sinccures be abolish
Fi7h. We demand that the National Bank sys-
ten be abolished; that full legal-tender Govern
rn,ut money be substituted for their circulating
notes that a system be provided hy which money
the medium Of exchange, be increased in an
e4uitabIe ratio with population and production; /;
that the surplus money now in the Treasury be ut
. applied TO the payment of the public debt
thereby reducing the principal and interest at
once and adding $500. 600 600 to the present none
tary circulation; that the public lands should be
Withdrawn from sale and reserved for actual set
tiers, in tracts Of not over eighty acres.
SiJih. That we denOuce the Democratic and Re
publican parties for their violations Of the tradi
ti0Es and practices Of free government, and for
the useless expense of forcing an extra session Of
Congress to force false issues upon the attention of
the people, when the questions Of finance and in
dustry are the only ones now at issue.
ScreHfh. That the present condition of American
labor demands a thoroughly Protective Tariff
Eighth, That graduated income tax is the
most equitable means Of providing for the necessa
~ expenses of government.
Ninth That our condition OF general knowledge,
many money centres. and geographical situation
demand greater per capita Of money than any
other civilized country. whereas We have the
least. present circulation being but about Sl2
per capita, while taxation is s17 per capita.
TcHh. That We heartily endorse the State plat
form adopted at Altoona.
Mr.. DysaTt thought there was entirely too
much chin-music in the foregoing, and moved
the adoption Of the subjOined as a substitute
