John B. Lennon:
Whereas, On the assembling of this,
the Peoples county convention of Arapa-
hoe county, the session of our convention
was disturbed and hindered by mob of
blacklegs, hirelings and dead beats Of
the old political parties, led by one j. D..
Vaughn. and whose only wish was to
croate discord, and break up our con-
yention for the benefit of the corrup-
tlonists of the democratic and republican
parties; therefore, be it
Resolved, That in our judgement this
should be sufficient, when added to the
past acts of the monopolistic parties, to
show every honest citizen the necessity
of abandoning dishonor and corruption,
and joining the Peoples party, the only
party that presents a clean and just
platform, and honorable and upright
candidates for the suffrages of the people.
No committee on nominations having
been appointed, a motion was made and
carried to form such a committee by
detail of onemember from each rdelega-
ton, and the committee so formed with-
drew for consultation.
During the interval the chair suggested
that the time might well be occupied fol
caucus among the ward delegations on
the nomination of the justices and con.
stables and this being as usual a more
difficult matter to settle than the more
important nominations, occupied the
entire time until the return of the nomi.
