6. All persons are required to take notice, that by the loth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, it is provided that " The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State, on account of race, color, or previoais condition of servitude."

In Philadelphia the office of alderman i» abolished.

WOMEN TO HOLD OFFICE.

"Women twenty-one years of age, and upward, shall be eligible to any office of control or manage- ment under the school laws of this State. assessors;

One Assessor is elected annually, in February, in each division ; but where the division is divided, on account of the vote exceeding two hundred and fifty, the Court of Common Pleas appoints in the new division, until the next election, the old officer hold- ing over in the original division.

The Assessor takes the transcript of the former assessment and revises it, visiting every house in his district and inquiring who has died or removed, who

remains and who has moved into the division, and adds or erases the names, as the case may be. He then makes out an alphabetical list of the persons entitled to vote. Prior to the first Monday of August, the Assessor must put a copy of the registry of electors on the door of, or on the division house, and retain one other copy in his possession, for the inspection, free of charge, of any person in the dis- trict, and from time to time to add to the list the names of persons entitled to vote, upon personal application ; and opposite each name shall give the number of house, occupation, whether housekeeper ; if not, with whom he boards, and name of employer ; and opposite each name write the word '''■voter ;'''' if naturalized, mark the letter "iV;" where he has declared his intentions and designs to be naturalized before the next election, mark "D. /.;" where entitled to be naturalized under existing laws, with- out making a declaration of intention, and intends to be naturalized at least one month before the next general election, mark " I. N. ; " where on age, mark "agre," and if moved into the district since last election, to reside, mark " i?.;" then make out a separate list of new assessments, and return all lists to the County Commissioners, who shall cause the same to be printed and posted on the voting place for each division, for inspection. On the sixty-first and sixty-second days prior to the Tuesday after the first Monday of November, the Assessor must sit at the division house from 10 a. m. to 3 p. m., and from 6 p. M. to 9 p. M., for the purpose of adding to the list the names of persons entitled to vote, and of striking from the list the names of fictitious persons, and of persons who have died or removed from the division.

fine and IMPRISONMENT OF ASSESSORS.

A penalty, of fine and imprisonment, for an As- sessor knoAvingly assessing any person who is not a voter, or refusing to assess a person who is qualified, is provided.

APPEAL TO BE MADE IN COURT.

In addition, the Court of Common Pleas, or any judge thereof, at any time before the day of election, upon complaint before it or him under oath of a breach of any of the duties imposed on the Assessor, can call the Assessor before it or him, and hear the parties and dispose of the subject^ in a summary manner, as to law and justice belong, and, if need be, order the Assessor to correct the registry accord- ingly, and enforce such order by attachment or proceedings upon contempt. The Court of Common Pleas has no power to add a name to the Assessor's list unless the party has made application to the Assessor to have his name put upon the list, or the Assessor has been guilty of gross bad faith in the dis- charge of the duties of the office.

The Assessors shall each receive the same com- pensation, for the time necessarily spent in perform- ing the duties, as provided by law to Assessors making valuations, to be paid by the County Com- missioners. It shall not be lawful for any Assessor to assess a tax against any person within sixty-one days preceding the annual November election, and any Election officer. Assessor or Overseer who shall neglect their duty, shall be subject to a fine of on© hundred 'dollars.

ASSESSORS APPOINTED.

In districts where an Assessor has not been elected, the Court of Common Pleas shall appoint a reputable person to the position.

At the election held on the third Tuesday of Feb- ruary, each district shall elect one Judge, and two Inspectors, and an Assessor.

The respective Assessors, Inspectors, Judges and Overseers shall each have the power to administer

oaths to any person claiming the right to be assessed, or the right of suffrage.

WHO CAN BE ELECTION OFFICERS.

Ko one can be an election officer who holds, or has held within two months of the election, any office, appointment or employment in or under the government of the United States, or of this State, or of any municipal board, commission or trust, in any city. This excludes an objectionable class of persons who have heretofore figured largely among the election officers.

ELECTION OFFICEES.

District Election Boards shall consist of a Judge and two Inspectors ; each elector may vote for one person for Judge and one person for Inspector, the person receiving the highest number of votes to be Judge, and the two receiving the highest number of votes for Inspectors to be Inspectors. Each in- spector appoints a Clerk, who must be a qualified elector of the division. The Judge, Inspectors and Clerks each receive five dollars * Service upon an Election Board exempts the party so serving from jury duty for a year.

FILLING VACANCIES.

The manner of filling vacancies in the Board of Election Officers on the day of election, under the Act of 1839, is as follows : If the minority Inspctor shall not attend on election day, the defeated minority candidate for Judge of election acts as the minority Inspector. If the majority Inspector shall not attend, the Judge appoints an Inspector. If the Judge shall not attend, the majority Inspector ap- points a Judge. If any vacancy is not filled within an hour after the opening of the polls, the voters of the division elect a person to fill the vacancy. In case of a tie vote for Judge, the majorit}^ Inspector appoints a Judge, and in the event of a tie vote for Judge and Inspectors, a curbstone election is to be held on the morning of election. The Court of Common Pleas has decided that this Act of Assem- bly must be followed in filling vacancies, wherever the counsel representing the different political par- ties cannot agree as to persons to be appointed. The Court recommends that to avoid the confusion and perhaps violence, attending a curbstone elec- tion, that the representatives of the two parties agree upon persons to be appointed by the Court.

OVERSEERS.

Two Overseers shall be appointed by the Court of Common Pleas, on the application of five citizens of an election division. They have a right to supervise the proceedings of election officers, may report to the Court, and where the election officers differ in opinion, the Overseers, if they agree, may decide the difference. Their pay shall be five dollars each. *

VACANCY IN ELECTION BOARDS.

Where a new district has been made, the Court of Common Pleas shall, ten days before any general or special election, appoint competent persons to fill the vacancies, the Inspectors of any election district not to be of the same political party ; but the Judge, in all cases, must be of the party having a majority of the Vjtes in said district.

CUSTODY or REGISTRY.

The J-adge of the election shall designate one of the Inspectors to have the custody of the registry of voters, and make the entries therein required by law, the other to receive and number the ballots presented ?.t said election.

BALLOTS SHALL BE NUMBERED.

Every ballot snail be numbered in the order in which it shall be received, and the number recorded by the Clerk opposite the name of the elector. The

* This applies to Philadelphia. The compensation is regu- lated by law and is not the same in all counties.

several tickets so voted shall be numbered with the number corresponding with the number to the name of the voter. An elector may write his name on his ticket, or cause it to be written thereon and attested by a citizen of the district.

THE elector's VOTE NOT TO BE DISCLOSED.

Election ofiicers shall be sworn (or affirmed) not to disclose how any elector shall have voted; the Judge to be sworn by the minority Inspector, and the Inspectors, Overseers and Clerks by the Judge. If any election officers shall act without being first sworn, or if any officer of election shall sign the form of oath without being duly sworn, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. All are to be sworn in the pres- ence of each other.

THE RESIDENCE REQUIRED.

Any person who shall have moved from one divi- sion to another within two months of an election, is not entitled to vote in either.

TAXES.

To entitle a person to vote, he shall have paid a State or County tax within tAvo years, wliich was assessed two months, and paid at least one month, before the election. The tax receipt is the best evi- dence of such payment. If the receipt be lost or destroyed, the citizen's oath to the payment is siif- ficient. The tax need not be a poll tax ; any tax assessed by authority of the State or a county is sufficient. This does not include licenses.

PERSONS WHOSE NAMES ARE NOT ON THE REGISTRY LIST WILL VOTE.

Any person whose name shall not appear on the registry of voters, and who claims a right to vote, shall produce at least one qualified voter of the district, as a voucher that the claimant has resided in the division for two months immediately preceding the election, and subscribe to the same, under oath, and the claimant must also make oath that he has been a citizen of the United States one month, and resided in the State one year; or if formerly an elector or native born citizen thereof, and has re- moved and returned, has resided therein six months, and has resided in said election district two months preceding the election, and that if of twenty-two years and upward, has paid a city or county tax, which was assessed at least two months, and paid one month before the said election. If a naturalized citizen, state when, where, and by what Court, he was naturalized, and such other evidence as may be required ; and all such affidavits shall be preserved by the election board, and filed with the other papers. The forms for these affidavits are furnished to the election officers by the County Commissioners.

If the election officers shall find the applicant possesses the right to vote, he shall be permitted to vote, and his name added to the list of taxables, the word " tax " being added. When he claims to vote on age, the word " age " being added.

RIGHT OF CHALLENGE.

Any qualified voter of the district can challenge a voter, even if the name is on the list. In case of challenge, the proof required is the same as for a person claiming a right to vote without being upon the Assessor's list.

PERSONS NOT RESIDENT NOT TO INTERFERE.

It is a misdemeanor for any person not a resident of the division to use any intimidation or violence to prevent any officer of election from performing his duties ; or to prevent any person from exercising his right to vote ; or to prevent any person from exer- cising his right to challenge a person offering to vote.

PRINTING THE TICKETS.

In arranging and printing the tickets, the rule heretofore laid down must be followed, viz. :

All the Judges on one ticket, labeled *' Judiciary ; " all the county officers, including members of Con-

THE TIMES ALMANAC— PHILADELPHIA,

IS, and of the Legislature, on one ticket, labeled *• County ; " all State officers, including electors, on one ticket, labeled " State." Upon the inside of the ticket is to be designated the particular oflace of the candidate. .

CLOSING OF THE POLLS AND COUNTINO THE VOTES.

As soon as the polls shall close, the officers of the election shall proceed to count all the votes cast for each candidate voted for.

The vote, as soon as counted, shall be publicly and fully declared, from the window, to the citizens present, and a brief statement, showing the votes received by each candidate, shall be made and signed by the election officers as soon as the vote is counted, and immediately posted up on the door of the election house, for infornjation of the public. It is a misdemeanor for any person to wilfully and maliciously tear, deface or destroy the statement or return so put up.

HOW RETURNS ARE TO BE MADE OUT.

The returns shall be made out in triplicate, with, in addition, a return sheet, in all of wliich the votes received by each candidate shall be given after his name, first in words and again in figures, and signed by all the officers and the overseers, or if the over- seers decline to sign the returns, they shall certify therein their reasons for so declining, specifying wherein the election has been improper or illegal. Of these returns, one is placed in the box, and the other two in envelopes, sealed up, one of the envel- opes is given to the minority inspector to keep, and the other, with the return sheet, is taken to the Prothonotary of the Court of Common Pleas. The other of the triplicate returns is sealed up with the ballots in the box,

RETURNS TO BE FILED.

All Judges shall, before 2 o'clock, p. m. of the day after the election, deliver said return, together with return sheet, to the Prothonotary of the Court of Common Pleas, who shall, at 12 o'clock on the second day after the election, present said returns to the Judges of said court. The return sheet is filed and preserved for public inspection.

JUDGES TO COMPUTE THE RETURNS.

The Judges of the Court of Common Pleas shall compute the returns, and give the certificate of elec- tion, under seal of said court, to the proper person. If any palpable fraud or mistake is complained of, the court shall examine into the matter, and if neces- sary, issue summons for all parties interested, and determine according to the evidence, within three days after the returns are brought in, which deter- mination, however, shall not be deemed a judicial adjudication to conclude any contest that may occur.

BALLOT BOXES.

Whenever a place has been or shall be provided by the authorities for the safe keeping of the ballot boxes, the Judge and minority Inspector shall, after the election be finished, and the ballot boxes con- iaining the tickets, list of voters and other papers, securely bound with tape and sealed, and the signa- ture of the Judge and Inspectors affixed thereto, forthwith deliver the same to the Mayor and Recorder of the city.

CONTESTED ELECTIONS.

In trials of contested elections, and in proceedings for the investigation of elections (which will include the proceedings before the Judges of the court in receiving and counting the returns), a witness is compelled to testify, although his evidence may tend to criminate himself; but such testimony shall not afterwards be used against them, except for perjury in giving their testimony.

ELECTORS FREE FROM ARREST.

Electors shall, in all casos except treason, felony or breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest in

going and returning from elections. Election officers are privileged from arrest upon election day, and while engaged in making up and transmitting re- turns, except upon warrant of a court of record or Judge thereof, for an election fraud, for felony, or for wanton breach of the peace.

BRIBERY OR OFFERING TO BRIBE.

Any person who shall give, or promise to give, an elector any money, reward or other valuable consid- eration for his vote, or in any way influence the voter by any unlawful means, and any elector who receives any such thing, shall forfeit his right to vote, and may be challenged for the same.

CANDIDATES VIOLATING THE LAW.

Any person who, while a candidate for office, shall be guilty of the violation of any election law, shall be disqualified from holding an office of trust and profit in this commonwealth ; and any person con- victed of wilful violation of the election laws shall be deprived of the right of suffrage for four years.

PROTHONOTARIES AND NATURALIZATION.

Any Prothonotary who shall issue, or cause to be issued, any fraudulent naturalization paper, shall be subject to fine and imprisonment.

WHO CANNOT BE DEPRIVED OP THEIR VOTE.

Persons in the service of the United States, or of the State, cannot be deprived of their vote.

DEFACING LISTS OF VOTERS.

Any person who shall alter, deface or destroy, or tear any list of voters, or who shall, on election day, intefere with any of the officers of elections, or with any qualified voters, shall be subject to fine and imprisonment.

Election districts in cities of over one hundred thousand population, must be divided by the Court of Quarter Sessions whenever, at the next precedihg election, more than two hundred and fifty votes shall have been polled therein.

When there are more names on a ticket for a particular office than there are persons to be elected to that office, such votes must be altogether rejected. Eor example, if four persons are voted for upon one ticket for School Directors when but three are to be elected, such ticket cannot be counted at all in com- puting the vote for School Directors, nor where four persons are voted for under the general heading of "School Directors," where three are for full terms and one to fill a vacancy.

Judges, Inspectors and Clerks are annual officers. Overseers are appointed for the particular election only.

Money bet upon the event of an election and de- posited with a stakfiholder, may be recovered back if demand be made before the money is paid over to the winner, though after the result of the election is known.

An election officer is liable in damages for refusing a vote from improper motives.

Residence is a question of intention, but to con- stitute a change of residence some act must be done in pursuance of the intention.

The holding of elections at tlie place, fixed by law is mandatory, and cannot properly be omitted.

In case of the destruction of a designated building on the eve of an election, the election might be held on the same or contiguous ground as a matter of necessity ; but in all cases the necessity must be ab- solute, discarding all mere ideas of convenience.

A certificate of naturalization cannot be impeached collaterally ; until vacated for fraud by the Court issuing it, it is conclusive of the fact of naturalization.

The Supreme Court of the State in 1867, with the Chief Justice dissenting, decided that where a ma- jority of the votes are cast for a disqualified person, the next in vote is not to be returned as elected.

DEMOCRATIC STATE COKYEKTIOIN.

Met at Harrisburg, July 16, 1879. Robert E. ; James, of Northampton, temporary chairman ; ' Alexander H. Coffroth, of Somerset, permanent pres- j ident. Daniel 0. Barr, of Allegheny, was nominated ; for State Treasurer by acclamation. Lewis C. Cassidy, chairman of the committee on resolutions, reported the following platform, which was adopted unanimously :

First. That we the Democratic party of Pennsyl- vania, in convention assembled, renew our vows of fidelity to the fundamental principles proclaimed and practiced by the illustrious men who settled our free institutions, and founded the Democratic party to protect and preserve them.

Second. That the just powers of the Federal Union, the rights of the States and the liberties of the people, are vital parts of one harmonious system ; and to save each part in its whole constitutional vigor is to '-s.u^e the life of the nation."

Third. That the Democratic party maintains, as it ever has maintained, that the military are, and ought to be, in all things subordinate to the civil au- thorities. It denies, as it ever has denied, the right of the Federal administration to keep on foot, at the general expense, a standing army to Invade the States for political purposes, without regard to con- stitutional restrictions, to control the people at the polls, to protect and encourage fraudulent counts of the votes, or to inaugurate candidates rejected by the majority.

Fourth. That the right to a free ballot is the right preservative of all rights, the only means of peace- fully redressing grievances and reforming abuses. The presence at the polls of a rt'gular military force, and of a host of hireling officials, claiming the power to arrest and imprison citizens without war- rant or hearing, destroys all freedom of elections, and upturns the very foundation of self-government. We call upon all good citizens to aid us in preserving our institutions from destruction by these imperial methods of supervising the right of suffrage and co- ercing the popular will; in keeping the way to the ballot-box open and free, as it was to our fathers; in removing the army to a safe distance when the peo- ple assemble to express their sovereign pleasure at tlie, polls, and in securing obedience to their will, when legally expressed by their votes.

Fifth. That Rutherford B. Hayes having been placed in power against the well known and legally expressed will of the people, is the representative of a conspiracy only, and his claim of right to surround the ballot-boxes with troops and deputy marshals to intimidate and obstruct the electors, and his un- precedented use of the veto to maintain this uncon-

stitutional and despotic power, are an insult and a menace to the country.

Sixth. That the Democratic party, as of old, favors a constitutional currency of gold and silver, and of paper convertible into coin.

Seventh. That we are opposed to the system of subsidies by the General Government under which during the period of Republican ascendency, politi- cal rings and coi'porations profited at the people's expense, and to any appropriations of the public moneys or the public credit to any object but the public service. The reforms and economies enforced by the Democratic party, since its advent to power in the lower House of Congress, have saved to the people many millions of dollars, and we believe that a like result w^ould follow its restoration to power in the State of Pennsylvania.

Eighth. That the Democratic party being the natural friend of the workingman, and having throughout its history stood between him and op- pression, renews its expression of symjjathy for labor and its promise of protection to its rights.

Ninth. That we look with alarm and apprehension upon the pretentions of the great transportation companies to be above the fundamental law of this Commonwealth, which governs all else within our borders, and until they accept the Constitution of 1873 in good faith, they should remain objects of the utmost vigilance and jealousy by both Legislature and people.

Tenth. That the recent attempt under the personal direction of ruling Republican leaders to debauch the Legislature by wholesale bribery and corruption, and take from the Commonwealth four millions of dol- lars, for which its liability had never been ascer- tained, is a fresh and alarming evidence of the aggressiveness of corporate power in collusion with political rings, and should receive the signal con- demnation of the people at the polls.

Eleventh. That the present condition of the State Treasury, a bankrupt general fund, and even schools and charities unable to get the money long since appropriated to their support, is a sufliicient illustra- tion of the reckless financial mismanagement of the Republican party.

Tivelfth. That in D. 0. Barr, this day nominated for State Treasurer, we present a candidate entitled to the confidence of the people ; one who, if elected, will keep the public moneys safely, make known his places of deposit, hold his books and papers open to inspection, and preserve the Commonwealth from any repetition of the systematic embezzlements of interest and other spoliations which marked the long and scandalous career of the Republican Treas- ury " ring."

HEPUBIilCAN STATE CONTEKTIOK.

Met at Harrisburg, July 23, 1879. Lewis W. Hall, of Dauphin, temporary chairman ; Galusha A. Grow, of Susiq^ueha,nna, permanent president. Samuel Butler, of Chester, was nominated by acclamation for -State .Treasurer. Thomas V, Cooper, of Delaware, chairman of the committee on resolutions, reported >th« > following platform, which was adopted unan- imously :

First. That ■ the Republican party, again forced •to stand' forward for the defense of human rights after a struggle lasting through a generation, finds itself confronted by the same foes of Federal unity, political freedom and national honor which

it has so often overthrown in civil contests and in armed conflict.

Second. That we appeal to the Union-loving peo- ple of Pennsylvania to arrest, by their votes, the mad career of the Democratic party, which insists upon placing the National Government under the domination of men who but lately fought to destroy it, and who are now plotting to give triumph to the doctrine they failed to establish in the field — the es- tablishment of State sovereignty by the overthrow of national supremacy.

Third. We declare our implacable hostility to the repeal of the national laws which protect the purity

of the ballot-box and secure fair elections. The elec- tion of Congressmen and Presidental electors being clearly subject to national control, any attempt to throw ofif that control is simply an effort to establish fraud at national elections. Honest suffrage, equal rights, the unity of the nation and the supremacy of the National Government in all matters placed by the Constitution under its control, can be maintained only by the Republican party, which is alone com- mitted to their defense.

Fourth. That the Democratic party, having com- mitted itself to an attempt to break up the govern- ment by refusing to appropriate moneys already col- lected from the people to sustain the government, unless the Executive shall sanction measures in- tended to foster fraud, violence and corruption in the national elections and to impair the constitu- tional supremacy of the nation, deserves and invites the signal condemnation of every law-abiding and honest citizen.

Fifth. That we are in favor of the discharge of the national debt in coin, according to the under- standing between the government and the lender ; of a paper currency redeemable in coin; and of the existing national banking system. We con- gratulate the country upon returning national pros- perity, and upon the accomplishment, under a Re- publican national administration, of the successful resumption of specie payments. Our currency — the best ever afforded the country — is restored to its par value ; the national credit has been maintained and strengthened and the burden of the national debt largely reduced. To complete what has been so well done, we demand that our present financial system remain undisturbed.

Sixth. That to the policy and practice of protec- tion to home industry and home production in- augurated and sustained by the Republican party we are indebted for the growth and development of our domestic and foreign commerce and for the prosperous condition and strength of the national finances, and tliat to the continuance of that policy must we look in the tuture for assured prosperity and peace throughout our whole country. In fos- tering the same we desire to ensure constant em- ployment to labor at remunerative wages.

Seventh. That the firm stand of the President in vindicating the prerogatives of the co-ordinate de- partments of the government meets the hearty ap- proval of the Republican party of Pennsylvania.

Eighth. We call on the veteran soldiers of the war for the Union to join us in resenting the unjust expulsion of their wounded comrades from office by the Democratic Congress, and the transfer of their places to rebel soldiers, whose chief recommenda- tion seems to be unrepentant treason and unending hate of the nation.

Ninth. That we earnestly sympathize with our Southern Republican brethren who are now pass- ing under the harroAV of political persecution. We bid them be of good cheer. Fraud and force cannot always triumph, even in a region where fraud and force find a congenial home. If a solid South now deprives them of their just rights, a solid North will not fail in due time to secure them that perfect free- dom which is the birthright and inheritance of every American citizen.

Tenth. That the United States of America is a nation, not a league. Its Constitution and all laws made in pursuance thereof are the supreme law of the land, anything in the Constitution or laws of a State to the contrary, notwithstanding.

Eleventh. That the tribunal established by the Constitution to determine whether the laws are made in pursuance thereof is the Supreme Court of the United States. All laws once enacted, unless repealed by the law-making power, or declared void by said Court, neither law-maker, citizen nor State has a right to nullify.

Twelfth. That the success of the administration of the State under the management of the Republican party, the steady reduction of the State debt and the enforced compliment of the present Democratic Treasurer, that not one dollar of the public funds had been lost or misplaced during the seventeen years of Republican custody of the funds, prove that official integrity and financial skill have been the benefits conferred by our party on the tax -payers of the State, and merits the approval of the people of Pennsylvania.

Thirteenth. That we pledge ourselves in favor of such legislation as will prevent unlawful and un- constitutional discrimination in freights by the carry- ing companies of the country.

Fourteenth. That we heartily endorse the admin- istration of Governor Hoyt, and the stalwart atti- tude of Senator Cameron, and the Republican members of the House of Representatives, in resisting the revolutionary riders so persistently pressed by the Democrats in Congress.

PAHTY piii:n^cipi.es.

Republican National Platform,

ADOPTED AT CINCINNATI, JUNE 16, 1876.

When in the economy of Providence this land was to be purged of human slavery, and when the strength of the government of the people, by the people, for the people, was to be demonstrated, the Republican party came into power. Its deeds have passed into history, and we look back to them with pride, incited by their memories and high aims for the good of our country and mankind; and, looking to the future with unfaltering con rage, hope and purpose, we, the representatives of the party in National Convention assembled, make the following declaration of principles :

. First. The United States of America is a nation, not a league. By the combined workings of the National and State Governments under their respec- tive Constitutions, the rights of every citizen are secured at home and protected abroad and the common welfare promoted.

Second. The Republican party has preserved those governments to the one hundredth anniversary of the nation's birth, and they are now embodiments of the great truths spoken at its cradle that all men are created eq^ual ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ; that for the attainment of these ends, governments have been instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; until these truths are cheerfully obeyed, or, if needed be, vigorously enforced, the work of the Republican party is unfinished.

Third. The permanent pacification of the South- ern section of the Union, the complete protection of all its citizens in the free enjoyment of all their rights, are duties to which the Republican party is sacredly pledged. The power to provide for the enforcement of the principles embodied in the recent constitutional amendments is vested by those amendments in the Congress of the United

THE TIMES ALMANAC—PHILADELPHIA.

States, and we declare it to be the solemn obligation of the legislative and executive departments of the government to put into immediate and vigorous exercise all their constitutional powers for removing any just causes of discontent on the part of any class, and securing to every American citizen com- plete liberty and exact equality in the exercise of all civil, political and public rights. To this end we imperatively demand a Congress and Chief Execu- tive whose courage and fidelity to these duties shall not falter until these results are placed beyond dispute or recall.

Fourth. In the first act of Congress signed by President Grant, the National Government assumed to remove any doubts of purpose to discharge all just obligations to public creditors, and solemnly pledged its faith to make provision at the earliest practicable period for redemption of the United States notes in coin. Commercial prosperity, public merits and national credit demand that this promise be fulfilled by a continuous and steady progress to specie payment.

Fifth, Under the Constitution the President and heads of departments are to make nominations for office, the Senate is to advise and consent to appoint- ments, and the House of Representatives is to accuse and prosecute faithless officers. The best interests of the public service demand that this distinction be respected, that Senators and Representatives who who may be judges and accusers should not dictate appointments to office. The invariable rule for appointments should have reference to the honesty, fidelity and capacity of appointees, giving to the party in power those places where harmony and vigor of administration requires its policy to be represented, but permitting all others to be filled by persons selected with the sole reference to efficiency of public service, and the right of citizens to share in the honor of rendering faithful service to the country.

Sixth. We rejoice in the quickened conscience of the people concerning political affairs, and will hold all public officers to a rigid responsibility, and engage that the prosecution and punishment of all who betray official trust shall be speedy, thorough and unsparing.

Seventh. The public school system of the several States is the bulwark of the American llepublic, and with a view to its security and permanence we recommend an amendment to the Constitution of the United States forbidding the application of any public fund or property for the benefit of any school or institution under sectarian control.

Eighth. The revenue necessary for current ex- penditures and the obligations of the public debt must be largely derived from the duties upon impor- tations, which, so far as possible, should be adjusted to promote the interests of American labor, and ad- vance the prosperity of the whole country.

Ninth. We reaffirm our opposition to further grants of the public lands to corporations and mo- nopolies, and demand that the national domain be devoted to free homes for the people.

Tenth. It is the imperative duty of the government to modify existing treaties with European govern- ments that the same protection shall be afforded to adopted American citizens that is given to native born, and all necessary laws be passed to protect emigrants in the absence of power in the State for that purpose.

Eleventh. It is the immediate duty of Congress to fully investigate the eff"ect of the emigration and importation of Mongolians on the moral and material interests of the country.

Twelfth. The Republican party recognizes with approval the substantial advance recently made to-

ward the establishment of equal rights for women by the many important amendments, effected by Re- publican Legislatures, in the laws which concern the personal and property relations of wives, mothers and widows, and by tho appointment and election of women to tho superintendence of education, charitic s and other public trusts ; the honest demands of this class of citizens for additional rights and privileges and immunities should be treated with respectful consideration.

Thirteenth. The Constitution confers upon Con- gress sovereign power over the Territories of the United States for their government, and in the exercise of this power it is the right and duty of Congress to prohibit and extirpate in tho Territories that relic of barbarism — polygamy ; and we demand such legislation as shall secure this end, and the supremacy of American institutions in all the Terri- tories.

Fourteenth. The pledges which the nation has given to our soldiers and sailors must be fulfilled ; a grateful people will always hold those who periled their lives for the country's preservation in the kindest remembrance.

Fifteenth. We sincerely deprecate all sectional feeling and tendencies. We, therefore, note with deep solicitude that the Democratic party counts, as its chief hope of success, upon the electoral vote of a united South, secured through the efforts of those who were recently arrayed against the nation, and we invoke the earnest attention of tho country to the grave truth that a success thus achieved would re- open sectional strife and imperil national honor and human rights.

Sixteenth. Wo charge the Democratic party as being the same in character and spirit as when it sympathized with treason, and with making its con- trol of the House of Representatives the triumph and opportunity of the nation's recent foes; with reasserting and applauding in the National Capital the sentiments of unrepented rebellion; with send- ing Union soldiers to the rear ; with deliberately pro- posing to repudiate the plighted faith of the govern- ment; with being equally false and imbecile upon the overshadowing financial question ; with thwart- ing the ends of justice by its partisan mismanage- ment and obstruction of investigation ; with proving itself, through the period of its ascendancy in the lower House of Congress, utterly incompetent to administer the government. We warn the country against trusting a party thus alike unworthy, re- creant and incapable.

Seventeenth. The national administration merits commendation for its honorable work in the manage- ment of domestic and foreign affairs, and President Grant deserves the continued and hearty gratitude of the American people for his patriotism and his immense service in war and in peace.

A motion was made by Mr. Pierce, of Massachu- setts, to strike out all reference to Mongolian immi- gration, which was adopted, and the resolutions were then agreed to.

Democratic National Platform,

ADOPTED AT ST. LOUIS, JUNE 28, 1876.

We, the delegates of the Democratic party of the United States, in National Convention assembled, do hereby declare the administration of the Federal Government to be in urgent need of immediate re- form, do hereby enjoin upon the nominees of this convention, and of the Democratic party in each State, a zealous eff"ort and co-operation to this end, and do hereby appeal to our fellow-citizens of every former political connection to undertake with us

this first and most pressing patriotic duty. For the Democracy of the whole country, we do here re- affirm our faith in the permanency of the Federal Union, our devotion to the Constitution of the United States, with its amendments, universally accepted as a final settlement of the controversies that engendered civil war, and do here record our steadfast confidence in the perpetuity of republican self-government; in absolute acquiescence in the will of the majority — the vital principles of repub- lics ; in the supremacy of the civil over the military authority; in the total separation of Church and State, for the sake alike of civil and religious free- dom; in the equality of all citizens before just laws of their own enactment ; in the liberty of individual conduct, un vexed by sumptuary laws ; in the faith- ful education of the rising generation, that they may preserve, enjoy and transmit these best conditions of human happiness and hope. We behold the noblest products of a hundred years of changeful history, but while upholding the bond of our union and great charter of these our rights, it behooves a free people to practice also that eternal vigilance which is the price of liberty.

Reform is necessary to rebuild and establish in the hearts of the whole people the Union, eleven years ago happily rescued from the danger of a secession of States, but now to be saved from a corrupt centralism, which, after inflicting upon ten States the rapine of carpet-bag tyrannies, has honey- combed the oifices of the Federal Government itself ^Aith incapacity, waste and fraud, infected States and municipalities with the contagion of misrule, and locked fast the prosperity of an industrious people in the paralysis of hard times. Reform is necessary to establish a sound currency, restore the public credit, and maintain the national honor.

We denounce the failure for all these eleven years, to make good the promise of the legal-tender notes, which are a changing standard of value in the hands of the people, and the non-payment of which is a disregard of the plighted faith of the nation. We denounce the improvidence, which in eleven years of peace has taken from the people, in Federal taxes, thirteen times the whole amount of the legal-tender notes, and squandered four times this sum in useless expense, without accumulating any reserve for their redemption. We denounce the financial imbecility and immorality of that party which, during eleven years of peace, has made no advance toward re- sumption ; that, instead, has obstructed resumption by wasting our resources and exhausting all our surplus income, and while annually professing to intend a speedy return to specie payments, has annually enacted fresh hindrances thereto. As such a hindrance, we denounce the resumption clause of the act of 1875, and we here demand its repeal.

We demand a judicious system of preparation by public economies, by official retrenchments and by wise finance, which shall enable the nation soon to assure the whole world of its perfect ability and its perfect readiness to meet any of its promises at the call of the creditor entitled to payment. We believe such a system, well devised, and above all entrusted to competent hands for execution, creating at no time an artificial scarcity of currency, and at no time alarming the public mind into a withdrawal of that vaster machinery of credit by which ninety-five per cent, of all business transactions are performed ; a system open, public, and inspiring general confidence would, from the day of its adoption, bring healing on its wings to all our harassed industry, and set in motion the wheels of commerce, manufactures and the mechanical arts, restore employment to labor, and renew in all its national source the prosperity of the people.

Reform is necessary in the sum and mode of Federal taxation to the end that capital may be set free from distrust and labor lightly burdened. We denounce the present tarifl" levied upon nearly four thousand articles as a masterpiece of injustice, inequality and false pretense. It yields a dwindling, not a yearly rising revenue. It has impoverished many industries to subsidize a few. It prohibits imports that might purchase the products of American labor. It has degraded American commerce from the first to an inferior rank upon the high seas. It has cut down the sales of American manufactures at home and abroad, and depleted the returns of American agriculture, an industry followed by half our people. It costs the people five times more than it produces to the Treasury, obstructs the processes of production and wastes the fruits of labor. It promotes fraud and fosters smuggling, enriches dishonest officials and bankrupts honest merchants. We demand that all custom house taxation shall be only for revenue.

Reform is necessary in the scale of public ex- pense— Federal, State and municipal. Our Federal taxation has swollen from sixty millions, gold, in 1860, to four hundred and fifty millions, currency, in 1870 ; our aggregate taxation from one hundred and fifty-four millions, gold, in 1860, to seven hun- dred and thirty millions, currency, in 1870, or in one decade from less than five dollars per head to more than eighteen dollars per head. Since the peace the people have paid to their tax-gatherers more than thrice the sum of the National debt, and more than twice that sum for the Federal Govern- ment alone. We demand a vigorous frugality in every department and from every officer of the government.

Reform is necessary to put a stop to the profligate waste of public lands and their diversion from actual settlers by the party in power, which has squandered two hundred millions of acres upon railroads alone, and out of more than thrice that aggregate has disposed of less than a sixth direct! 3'^ to tillers of the soil.

Reform is necessary to correct the omissions of Republican Congresses and the errors of our treaties and our diplomacy, which has stripped our fellow- citizens of foreign birth and kindred race, re-crossing the Atlantic, of the shield of American citizenship, and exposed our brethren of the Pacific coast to the incursions of a race not sprung from the same great parent stock, and in fact now by law denied citizen- ship, through naturalization, as being neither accus- tomed to the traditions of a progressive civilization nor exercised in liberty under equal laws. We de- nounce the policy which thus discards the liberty- loving German and tolerates the revival of the coolie trade in Mongolian women, imported for immoral purposes, and Mongolian men, hired to perform servile labor contracts, and demand such modifica- tion of the treaty with the Chinese Empire, or such legislation by Congress within a Constitutional limitation, as to prevent the further importation or immigration of the Mongolian race.

Reform is necessary, and can never be effected but by making it the controlling issue of elections, and lifting it above the two false issues with which the office-holding class and the party in power seek to smother it ; the false issue with which they would enkindle sectarian strife in respect to public schools, of which the establishment and support be- longing exclusively to the several States, and which the Democratic party has cherished from their foun- dation, and resolved to maintain without partiality or preference for any class, sect or creed, and with- out contributing from the Treasury to any; the false issue by which they seek to light anew th» dying embers of sectional hate between the kindred peo-

pies, once unnaturally estranged, but now reunited in one indivisible republic and a common destiny.

Reform is necessary in the civil service. Experi- ence proves that efficient, economical conduct of the government business is not possible if its civil ser- vice be subject to change at every election ; to be a prize fought for at the ballot-box ; to be a brief reward of party zeal, instead of posts of honor assigned for proved competency and held for fidelity in the public employ ; tliat the dispensing of patron- age should be neither a tax upon the time of all our public men nor the instrument of their ambition. Here, again, professions, falsified in the performance, attest that the party in power can work out no prac- tical or satisfactory reform.

Reform is necessary even more in the higher grades of public service. The President, Vice President, Judges, Senators, Representatives, Cabi- net officers, and all others in authority, are the public servants. The offices are not a private perquisite ; they are a public trust. When the annals of this republic show the disgrace and censure of a Yice President ; a late Speaker of the House of Represen- tatives marketing his rulings as a presiding officer; three Senators profiting secretly by their votes as law-makers ; five chairmen of leading committees of the House of Representatives exposed in jobbery ; a late Secretary of the Treasury forcing balances in the public accounts ; a late Attorney General misai)- propriating public funds; a Secretary of the Navy enriched or enriching friends by percentages levied off the profits of contractors with his department ; an ambassador to Englan'd censured for a dishonor- able speculation ; the President's Private Secretary barely escaping conviction upon trial for guilty complicity in frauds upon the revenue; a Secretary of AVar impeached for high crimes and confesseil misdemeanors ; the demonstration is complete that the first step in reform must be the people's choice of honest men from another party, lest the disease of one political organization infest the body politic, and lest by making no change of men or party we can get no change.

All these abuses, wrongs and crimes, the product of sixteen years' ascendancy of the Republican party, create a necessity for reform confessed by the Re- publicans themselves, but their reformers are voted down in convention and displaced from the Cabi- net. The party's mass of honest voters are power- less to resist the eighty thousand office-holders, its leaders and guides. Reform can only be had by a peaceful civic revolution. We demand a change of system, a change of administration, a change of party, so that we may have a change of members and of men.

Greenback National Platform.

ADOPTED AT TOLEDO, FEBRUARY 22, 1878.

miereas, Throughout our entire country the value of real estate is depreciated, industry paralyzed, trade depressed, business incomes and wages re- duced, unparalleled distress inflicted upon the poorer and middle ranks of our people, the land filled with fraud, embezzlement, bankruptcy, crime, suffering, pauperism, and starvation ; and

Whereas, This state of things has been brought about by legislation in the interest of, and dicta- ted by, money-lenders, bankers and bondholders; and

Whereas. While we recognize the fact that men in Congress, connected with both the old political par- ties, have stood manfully for the rights of the peo- ple, and met the threats of the money power and ithe ridicule of an ignorant and subsidized press, . yet neither the Republican nor the Democratic par-

ties, in their national policies, propose remedies for the existing evils ; and

Whereas^ The Independent Greenback party, and other associations more or less effective, have been unable hitherto to make a formidable opposition to old party organizations ; and

Whereas, The limiting of the legal-tender quality of greenbacks; the changing of currency bonds into coin bonds, the demonetization of the silver dollar, the exempting of bonds from taxation, the contrac- tion of the circulating medium, the proposed forced resumption of specie payments, and the prodigal waste of the public lands, were crimes against the people, and as far as possible the results of these criminal acts must be counteracted by judicial legis- lation ;

Therefore, We assemble in National Convention and make a declaration of our principles, and invite all patriotic citizens to unite in an effort to secure financial reform and industrial emancipation.

The organization shall be known as the National party, and under this name we will perfect, without delay, National, State and local associations, to secure the election to office of such men only as will pledge themselves to do all in their power to establish these principles:

First. It is the exclusive function of the General Government to coin and create money and regulate its value. All bank issues designed to circulate as money should be suppressed. The circulating medium, whether of metal or paper, shall be issued by the government, and made a full legal-tender for all debts, duties and taxes in the United States, at its stamped value.

Second. There shall be no privileged class of credi- tors ; official salaries, pensions, bonds and all other debts and obligations, public and private, shall be discharged in the legal-tender money of the United States, strictly according to the stipulations of the laws under which they were incurred.

Third. That the coinage of silver be placed upon the same footing as that of gold.

Fourth. Congress shall provide said money ade- quate to the full employment of labor, the equit- able distribution of its products and the require- ments of business, fixing a minimum amount per capita .to the population, as near as may be, and otherwise regulating its volume, by wise and equit- able provision of law, so that the rate of interest will secure to labor its just reward.

Fifth. It is inconsistent with the genius and spirit of popular government that any species of private property should be exempt from bearing its just share of the jmblic burdens. Government bonds and money should be taxed precisely as other pro- perty, and a graduated income tax should be levied for the support of the government and the payment of its debts.

Sixth. The public lands are the common property of the whole people, and should not be sold to specu- lators, nor granted to railroads or other corporations, but should be donated to actual settlers in limited quantities.

Seventh. The government should, by general en- actment, encourage the development of our agri- cultural, mineral, mechanical, manufacturing and commercial resources, to the end that labor may be fully and profitably employed, but no monopolies should be legalized.

Eighth. All useless offices should be abolished, the most rigid economy enforced in every branch of the public service, and severe punishment inflicted upon public officers who betray the trusts reposed in them.

Ninth. As educated labor has devised means of multiplying productions by inventions and dis-

coveries, and as their use requires the exercise of mind as well as body, such legislation should be had tiiat the number of hours of daily toil will be re- duced, giving to the working classes more leisure for mental improvement and social enjoyment, and saving them from premature decay and death.

Tenth. The adoption of an American monetary system as proposed herein will harmonize all differ- ences in regard to tariff and Federal taxation, reduce and equalize the cost of transportation by land and wate^r, distribute equitably the joint earnings of capital and labor, secure to the producers of wealth the results of their labor and skill, muster out of service the vast army of idlers who, under the exist- ing system, grow rich upon the earnings of others, that every man and M^oman may, by their own

efforts, secure a competence, so that overgrown for- tunes and extreme poverty will be seldom found within the limits of our republic.

Eleventh. Both National and State Governments should establish bureaus of labor and industrial statistics, clothed with the power of gathering and publishing the same.

Twelfth. That the contract system of employing labor in our prisons and reformatory institutions works great injustice to our mechanics and artisans, and should be prohibited.

Thirteenth, The importation of servile labor into the United States from China is a problem of the most serious importance, and we recommend legis- lation looking to its suppression.

GREEISTBACK STATE CONYEKTION,

Met at Altoona, July 15, 1879. Thomas A. Arm- strong, of Allegheny, temporary chairman; R. Gr. . Mason, of Mercer, permanent chairman. Peter Sutton, of Indiana, was nominated for State Treas- urer. James E. Emerson, of Beaver, reported the following from the committee on platform, which were unanimously adopted :

First. That it is in favor of the payment of the national debt strictly in accordance with the stipu- lations of the contract under which it was created ; and that no more interest-bearing bonds of the Fed- eral Grovernment be issued.

Second. That the Federal government only shall issue money ; that such money shall be a full legal- tender; and that full legal-tender greenbacks shall be substituted for national bank notes.

Third. We demand, for the sake of economy and 'convenience, that the trade dollar and fractional silver coin be replaced by fractional paper currency.

Fourth. We demand the repeal of all laws that foster inequality in condition and opportunity, as they are in violation of universal justice.

Fifth. We demand the enactment of an income tax law, with heavy penalties for perjury in its vio- lation, and that said tax be graduated in proportion to incomes.

Sixth. We demand that all debts due for labor performed take precedence of all other claims.

Seventh. We demand the passage and approval of an act abolishing the "store-order or truck" system, and compelling the payment of all wages due laborers at regular stated dates and in the law- ful money of the United States.

Eighth. We demand the passage and enforcement of such laws as will prevent all combinations, dis- criminations, or the granting of rebates, by trans- portation companies, and compelling common car- riers to furnish the service for the same price to all men.

Ninth. We demand that no more public lands be voted to corporations, but that they be held for actual settlers.

Tenth. We demand that education shall be free and industrial, and no child shall be allowed to grow up in ignorance.

Eleventh. That the contract system of employ- ment as laborers of convicts in our prisons and re- formatory institutions works great injustice to our mechanics and artisans, and should be prohibited.

Twelfth. That we recommend, as labor-saving machinery increases, that the hours of human labor be reduced to eight h urs.

FBOHIBITIOISr STATE COlSrTENTIO:^'.

Met at Altoona, September 23, 1879, and nominated W. L. Richardson, of Montour county, for State Treas- urer. The following platform was adopted :

First. That there are to-day no evils from which the people need to be protected by the strong arm of the State that are so terrible in their nature and so fearful in extent as those caused by the liquor trafhc.

Second. During the past year we have witnessed again the refusal of the Legislature to re-enact the local option law ; the absolute ignoring of the tem- perance question in the inaugural address or any message of Governor Hoyt, and in the platforms of the Democratic, Republican and National parties, and the refusal of their several candidates for State Treasurer to state, upon interrogation, whether they are favorable or unfavorable to the temperance law adopted by the late temperance convention for sub- mission to the Legislature. These and several acts during a series of years by the dominant party of the State must be regarded as proofs of their unwil- lingness or impotcncy to change our unwise, bur- densome and crime-producing liquor license sj'stem for that of prohibition of the liquor-drinking trade,

even by and with the prior consent of the voters of the State, and it is folly, verging on madness, to ex- pect relief by their action.

Third. That there can be no greater peril to the Stale than the existing subserviency and partj' com- petition for the liquor vote ; that experience shows that the Democratic, Republican and National par- ties, not being openly opposed to the liquor traffic, will engage in this competition ; will court the favor of the crime-producing and criminal classes ; will barter away the public morals, the purity of the ballot and every object of good government for party success, and they who vote with them muist share in the guilt of wrong-doing.

Fourth. Tpiiat wo recommend Prohibitionists and the friends of temperance to give earnest support to all efforts for securing the enactment of the tem- perance law adopted by the State convention which met at Harrisburg, April 24 and 25, 1879, for submis- sion to the Legislature.

Fifth. That we again present to the consideration of our fellow-citizens the resolutions adopted by the Prohibition party convention of 1878.

THE PKESIBEIS^TIAL ELECTION.

The Presidential election will take place on Tues- day, November 2, 1880. The Constitution prescribes that each State shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors equal to the whole number of Senators and Repre- sentatives to which the State may be entitled in Congress. For the election this year, the electors by States will be as follows :

Necessary to a choice, 185.

No Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of profit or trust under the United States, shall be an elector. In all the States, the laws thereof direct that the people shall choose the elec- tors. The Constitution requires that the day when electors are chosen shall be the same throughout the United States. The electors shall meet in their re- spective States on the first Wednesday in December, and vote by ballot for President and Vice President, one of whom at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same State with themselves. They shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice President; and they shall make distinct lists of all

persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice President, and of the number of votes for each ; which lists they shall sign and cer- tify and transmit, sealed, to Washington, directed to the president of tho Senate, before the first Wed- nesday in January. On the second Wednesday in February, the president of the Senate sliall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representa- tives, open all the certificates, and the votes shall then be counted. The person having the greatest number of votes for President shall bo the Presi- dent, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers, not exceeding three, on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall chooise immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the vote shall be taken by States, the representation from each State having one vote ; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the States, and a majority of all the States shall be necessary to g choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a Presi- dent whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice President shall act as Presi- dent, as in case of tho death or other constitutional disability. The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice President shall be the Vice President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed ; and if no person have a ma- jority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. No person, except a natural-born citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years. The qualifications for Vice Presi- dent are the same.

THE PElSrKSYETANIA EEECTIOIS'.

On Tuesday, November 2, the qualified voters of Pennsylvania will elect a Judge of the Supreme Court, to serve for twenty-one years, an Auditor General, to serve for three years, State Senators from the odd-numbered districts, and members of

the House of Representatives for all the districts of the State. Congressmen will also be chosen. The next Legislature will elect a United States Senator to succeed William A. Wallace, whose term expires on March 4, 1881.

C0MI:N'G STATE CONVEISTTIOINS.

At the appropriate time, the State committee of each party will designate a day for the meeting of the State convention. This will be unusually early this year, on account of the necessity of electing delegates to the National convention. In 1876, the la^t Presidential year, the Republican State conven- tion was held March 29, and the Democratic State convention March 22. It will be the duty of each State convention this year to choose four delegates at large to the National convention, and confirm

two delegates from each of the twenty-seven Con- gressional districts, making altogether fifty-eight delegates to which Pennsylvania is entitled in the National convention of either party. The State convention will also nominate twenty-nine candi- dates for Presidential electors— two at large, and one for each Congressional district — to be voted for on a general ticket on November 2, 1880. Candi- dates for Supreme Judge and Auditor General will also be nominated.

EEECTIOl^ OF TJKITEI> STATES SEl^-ATOR.

The Legislature to be chosen this year will elect a successor to United States Senator William A. Wallace, whose term expires on March 4, 1881. Each House votes separately "on the third Tuesday of January, at three o'clock, p.m., if the Legislature shall have organized before the second Tuesday."

On the day following, at twelve o'clock, m., the tw'o Houses meet in joint convention, and the journals of the two Houses are then read and certificates signed. Nominations must be made and tellers elected two days prior, and communicated to each House.
