I'd. A reduction Of appropriations of
money for extraordinary puposcs.
Sd. A reduction of appropriations for
charitable institutions and purposes, to the
necessary requirements Of those classes of
the unfortunate for whom it is the duty of the
State to fully and literally provide.

which now burdens the people and con-
suines the hard earnings Of the industrious
and frugal.
9th. The constructions of buildings for
the use Of our charitable institutions upon
plans commensurate with the wants of those
institutions and the ability of the State,
without attempting to initiate the grandeur
or magr;;fcence of the public buildings
erected for similar purposes in old and
wealthy States or Governments.
9Th. The early revision of the State Con-
stitution so as to free it from those features
which render it justly obnoxious to the
people.
7th. The amendment Of our banking
laws so as to throw reasonable restrictions
upon the operations of the banks, and to
secure people against the frauds and swind-
ling which, under existing laws, enacted by
Republican legislators, in the interests Of
the banks, may be practiced by bank Off
GERS, Of which the system has already fur
nished its fruits in two important cases.
9Th. That we are in favor of moving the
stocks or other securities pledged for the
prompt redemption of the issue Of the banks

Bank to the custody Of the Treasurer Of
State.
9th. The increase Of these securities to
such an extent as will furnish ample protec-

banks, which is imperatively demanded, as
the officers of the State Bank themselves
admit that at the present time there is no
real security for the redemption of the notes
of the banks.
10th. The entire separation of the finan-
ces of the State from the banks, and re-
peal OF ell laws authorizing either State or
county officers to deposite public money
with the branches of the State Bank, save
at their own risk.

party is opposed to any and all attempts ;c
create an enormous State debt, in violation
Of the constitution, for the purpose Of pro-
noting the schemes Of plunder, of Railroad
Or other spectators.
That the system inaugurated by the Re-
publican party Of creating unnecessary and
useless offices for the purpose of providing
for the politically lame, halt or blind, and
that we hold the revenues of the govern
ment should be applied strictly ,and eco-
to the legitimate wants of govern
ment.
That while we are in favor of fostering
popular education until the means of libe-
raj education be placed within the reach of
every child in the State-that while we are
IN favor of providing literally and justly for
Ill the benevolent institutions of the State,
md for all classes Of the unfortunate, which
humanity demands shall be protected and
