These resolutions were then adopted
Resolved, That we Prohibitionists of Hudson
county, in convention assembled, do hereby de-
clare our answering allegiance to the platform
of the National Prohibition party adopted at the
National Convention of 1888
Second. We reiterate our previous declara-
tions antagonistic to license high or low be-
lieving that any party which supports regulation,
license or taxation of the liquor traffic enters In
actual foe of the States welfare.
Third. That the efforts of our national leaders
and those of the union labor party to bring
about union Of the two parties is worthy OF
our emphatic approval, and we express the hope
that their efforts win shortly be crowned with
success
Secretary Burger wanted another reso-
luton adopted declaring against afiiliat-
ing or compromising with any other po-
litical party. But he was persuaded that
the resolutions adopted practically
amounted to such declaration, and he
withdrew his request.
The convention expressed its deterIni-
nation to place tull county ticket in the
field next fall and to nominate a candi
date for the Assembly In each of the ten
Assembly districts.
The more prominent names mentioned
for Gubernatorial nomination are G. w.
Nicholson, of Southern New Jersey; ex-
State Senator Chattel, of Monmouth, and
Joel w. Brown and Richard Grant, of
Hudson. 1t was said at last evenings
convention that Senator Chattel's chances
were the best of the candidates named.
