The reform ticket of Boston Federalists and Republicans favors two resolutions: 1) that government should be good for all, but not for “any one man, family, or class of men,” and 2) that history has shown that men were “in danger of being led by party names to act contrary to their own true interests . . .” A pamphlet is soon published entitled: “An Exposition of the Principles and Views of the Middling Interest.”
