duced by Mr.. II. P. Richards, created
considerable surprise, the visitors es-
pecially listening to the reading with
the greatest interest:
RESOLUTION:
Whereas, we desire to recognize the
fact that our political opponents,
though forming but minority of the
voting population, contribute to the
public revenue by the payment of
taxes and include within their num-
Der many citizens who are permanent
residents of this city and Territory,
ana that they should therefore be &C.
corded their representation in the man
agement of public affairs;
and Whereas, j3int committee COM
posed OF equal numbers from the oppos.
ing parties have IL ct and agreed upon
the proposition OF officers in the City
Council which will be satisfactory to
both;
And Whereas, a fusion of interests
will divest the proposed combined
ticket of distinctive party features and
render necessary a change of its usual
tie;
Thertf fore be 1t Resolved by this Conven-
ton of delegates of The Peoples Party.
First: That vacancies shall be left
upon the ticket to be nominated and
elected this day. for the municipal
election to be held in this city on Mon
day, February ID. 1888. for the names
of one Alderman ana three Councillors,
to be filled by nomination of the minor
ity of the citizens.
Second: That the combined ticket
shall be entitled The CITIZENS TICKET,
and that it shall be the only author
lied ticket for the said municipal cleo
ton
And Third: That this convention,
after making nominations with the ex-
ceptions named herein, and the trans
action OF such other business as may
be necessary, shall adjourn until Mon
day, Feb. 6, at p.m., to receive the
minority nominations to complete the
ticket, and that we hereby pledge our
votes and influence to elect The Citi-
zens Ticket in its entirety.
Mr.. MILANDo PRATT moved the adop-
ton of the IT solution, and as some did
not seem to understand the matter
thoroughly, it was read again.
Mr.. LOUIS Hook was opposed to the
convention making nominations at the
present time, and thought all nomlna-
lions should be left until Monday even
ing. when representatives of the two
parties could meet and the ticket
be madeup together.
Mr.. SPENCER was in favor of local
representation, but the delegates
were pre- ISN'T in the interest of the Peo-
Pile Party, and he doubted whether
they had right to change the name of |
the ticket and sail under q new banner.
He would like to have the question dis |
cussed as to whether they had right |
to change the name of the ticket, as was |
contemplated by the resolution.
MR.. NEBEKER favored the adoption |
OF the resolution as it stood. |
The Peoples representatives to |
go on the citizens ticket should |
be nominated Low, and the four
blanks left as suggested to be filled by |
the opposition which, he understood,
would be done, and the completed |
ticket presented to the session to be
held Monday evening. -,
Mr.. WALLACE was in favor of minor
ity representation. He knew nothing
Of the legal aspect of adjourning over,
but he supposed it was al right; he |
knew OF no reason why the charge
should not be made in the name. He
thought the peoples candidates should |
be put into nomination to-day. 1t was
for that purpose the convention had
met.
Mr.. r. s. WELLS did not care to say |
much about the right or business of the
claim to
MINORITY REPRESENTATION.
He, for one, was just little selfish in
he matter. He advocated the fusion
because he thought it would be pro-
luctive of good; that harmony among
our citizens would ensue, and that it |
meant step on the road of prosperity
or all. He thought, however, that
The four blanks to be- left in
The ticket should be more folly desig-
mated than they were in the resolution.
Mr.. RICHARDS attached but little i'm
oortance to the change of the name.
lad spoke very torcibly in favor of
ne resolution.
Mr.. BYWATER was not at AL partieu-
ar what the ticket was called. He had
entered the convention with determi-
lation to do as he tho1ghs best, and
would vote for the adoption OF the res
,lution, because he believed it was the
light thing to do.
Mr.. N. .. WOOLLEH was heartily III
avor of the resolution. He thought
he matter of making up e ticket was
eft to the delegates, and he was firm
believer that the minority SHOULD have
representation.
Mr.. SPENCER then offered an amend
nent to the resolution, designating the
blanks TO be left in the tickes as follows:
FIRST Ward-One councillor; Second
councillor; Third Ward-t
)ne alderman: Fifth Ward-One
The amendment was unani
nously carried.
FOR MASS MEE3ING.
Mr.. PAUL then submitted an amend
nent TO the resolution providing that a
mass meeting OF the members of the
Peoples Party be called for Tuesday
lext to ratify or disapprove. as they
moose, Of the action of the delegates in
making the radical changes consem
plated by the resolution. He thought
Nothing less than this was due TO the
of the delegates.
Mr.. JOHN AFFORD thought there was
10 necessity for calling the people from
heir homes to ratify, and Mr.. Midgley
