ing: .... s...,
WHEREAS, John III. Stehman is can
didate fO- state senator for this dlstl let az
the distinctive representative of the soma
torial boss through whose personal in
fiuence he was forced upon the people, and
of the machine through whose agency he
was nominated having been tried and
found wanting in the most essential quail.
ties of representive Of the people, and
having since then been twice . candidate
for tho position now sUught, and on each
occasion robuked by the people;
"AND WHEREAS, before the expiration
Of the term of the next senator from this
district the re- election of J. Donald Cam
erOn will be an issue to be met by him;
and knowing from Stehman's past record
and present affiliations that he would bo
subservient to the wishes of the boss and
an instrument of the machine he controls;
therefore. -.t'-s.
"Rssoloed. That in the language Of his
successful opponent in the campaign Of
1874, he should not bo sent to the Senate,
because he has always been in active
and co operation with the cor
rupt rings Of this county, and his election
would he triumph for tho desperate
political hucksters who have plundered
the tax payers, and who select such men
to use for their own base purposes
"Res0loed, that a. Cameron has defiantly
trampled upon civil reform in causing tho
removal of the faithful collector of inter
nal revenue for this the Ninth district, in
violation of tho pledge Of the Republican
state platform, in order to reward ono of
his own creatures, who earned bronze
medal by bstraying his constituents at
Chicago, and, a. he admitted, to secure
another vote iOr himself for United States
senator, all Of which was done against tho
protest Of our faithful representative,
Hon. A. Herr Smith, it Is tho duty OF
every honest citizen to give expression to
bis condemnation by voting against tho
Cameron candidate.
Res0lred, that We proceed to nominate
a candidate for state senator and earnestly
call upon the citizens of this senatorial
district, without regard to their past or
present political Affiliations, to join MS in
electiDg the candidate this day nominated
and thus rebuke the arrogance which
makes this state province and the people
dependent on a personal rule transmitted
from father to son and which the latter
seeks to 2erpetuate."
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
