Greenback Convention Nominates Solon Chase for Maine Chair
In Lewiston on June 5 the Greenback gathering names Solon Chase of Androscoggin as candidate for Chairman. Chase lauds independent party aims and urges a paper currency policy to curb debt, raise wages, and prevent price swings while resisting specie resumption. Resolutions push government money, anti bank issues, and criminalize debt imprisonment with a platform hostile to old pols and favoring biennial sessions and salary cuts. Woman suffrage proposal by Mr Snow sparks a near unanimous vote against equal ballot rights in the end.
