An Independent Party in Local Politics.
A Landmark Gone.
PASADENA, March ia meeting was
held Tuesday evening in the Arcade
block OF the Independent political party,
upon which occasion the following reso-
lutions were drawn up as platform OF
the party:
Whereas, In municipal election
where no national questions are or can
be at issue, we believe that party lines
should not be drawn and that any at
tempt to draw party lines on such occa-
sions stamps the participants in such
movement as narrow-minded and selfish
persons with whom the interest OF any
city would be unsafe; and
Whereas, We believe that in munich
pal elections Rll good citizens having the
best interest OF the city at heart should
unite in preeenting ticket for the
suffrage of the electors of the munich
pality without regard to party; aud
Whereas, At the late municipal con-
vention held in this city, party lines
were strictly drawn and none but Re-
publicans were permitted to participate
and
Whereas, A voluminous platform con-
sisting of IL paragraphs was adopted,
made up mostly OF national issues, many
OF which are absurd and untrue, and a
very few OF which have any relation TO
our municipality now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the undersigned,
without regard to party. aud as the rer-
resentatives Of ell parties, present the
