Labor Reform Party nominates Davis and Parker for presidency and VP
A national labor reform convention at Columbus Ohio on January 21 nominates David Davis of Illinois for president and Governor Joel Parker of New Jersey for vice president. The platform calls for a national circulating medium, debt payment on original contract, tax reform, public lands for settlers, tariff adjustments, Chinese labor ban, eight hour workday for government contractors, prison labor abolition, war tax fairness, curbs on rail and telegraph charges, one term, amnesty, patent reform, and civil control of military. Washington reports say acceptance by Davis boosts opposition momentum and may affect Cincinnati and Philadelphia conventions.
