The GrecnbackcrS of the Fourth Con-
greSsional district will convene ut ParkcrS-
burg on August II 10 canvass and an
nOunce the vote cast by the plan recon-
mended by the state Standard.
The plan proposed and now being used
bv the .SMnddrd is about rs follows:
blank is sent to several parties i'll each
school district throughout the State Each
blank has column headed by the name
Of the party with the names of the parties
preferred by the signcr for the offices OF
Congressman, State Senator, House of Dele
gates, Commissioners. The person signing
the blank also inserts the name Of the
party preferred by him for each Of those
offices. The blank is then returned to the
.Siate Standard office and by the edit
or of that paper is turned
over to 4 select committee
to canvass and announce the result Of the
vote and declare the nominee, thereby put
ting in nomination men who are directly
preferred by majority of the party. This
plan seems to have met with great success
so far; many enrolment blanks having
been already returned filled with names
of signerS who agree to support the party
and also their preferences for nominees to
be made in the early future by the commit
tee. Opposition to fusion is Is distinctly
declared by TIE written declaration Of the
SignerS.
The following
TERSE AND POSITIVE PLATFORM
is printed on each OF these enrolment
blanks:
|. We demand full and. complete pro
lection to the industrial and commercial
classes by practical legislation.
,. The prompt payment of the bonded
debt with the surplus revenues Of the
Treasury.
,. The retirement of the National bank
notes and the substitution Of fuIl-legal-
tender Treasury notes in lieu thereof
4. The reclamation of all uncarned rail
way grants of public landsand the Prohih-

). The enactment OF Il graduated income
tax.
6. National control OF all interstate COM
merce, telegraph and railway lines, either
by purchase or otherwise.
Z. The reduction Of all salaricd officers in
number and pay.
And whereas cliqueS, rings, and monicd
combinations have been formed THAT con
troll conventions, the ballot box and dictate
class legislation that breeds poverty, bank
ruptcy, crime and ruin-to correct these
evils we heartily approve the plan of the
voters of each school district in making
their own nominations of men for office rs
recommended by the Standard and each
