THE PLATFORM.
Colonel J. G. Haines then read the plat
form and was interrupted by frequent APP
planse. The reference to reciprocity was
received with cheers:

We commend our senators and representative
In congress for the untiriug industry and un.

maintained the honor OF the state and protected
and advanced the interests of its people.
We believe that the interests OF both capital

legislation should be had to secure that end, and
We urge our leg islativc delegation to use every

We are opposed 10 the further construct on of

should be done by days labor, under the dlrec-
ton Of proper county officials.
We favor the enactment Of laws making Labor

And TO these principles We invite the support

SUPERIOR COURT JUDGES.
At this juncture the convention ad.
journed to Turn hall in order to give the
Millmen's union q chance to decorate the
armory for their ball in the evening. Then
the nomination of superior court judges
came up. Colonel Haines moved that the
two judges be voted on one at time; but
Mr.. Clare proposed that all the judges be
nominated and voted on, and the two get
ting the highest vote be the nominees.
This was carried, and Richard Osborn and
7. ]. Humes were nominated. Then a
contest between the friends of John Wiley
and of Richard Osborn was developed. a
contest which was wholly amicable, for no
supporter OF one candidate ventured any
disparaging remarks touching the rival.
