Republican Convention OF Pike
C0UnfV 1893

Owing to the absence of our special
correspondent and the omission of
duty on the part of the Secretary, we
did not receive the proceedings of the
Republican Convention of Pike
County direct; but we find them in
the Petersburgh Tribune. The Con-
vention, which was held on the 18th
ult., the Tribune says, was quite an
outpouring of the solid, intelligent
and sober thinking men ofthe county,
and the best of feeling prevailed
among all"
The County Central Committee was
reorganized as follows;
Levi Ferguson President. q
H. NJ. Scott, Secretary. o-

The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolued. That we heartily sustain
Congress in the act known as the Re-
construction Act. and we demand that
the South should be speedily recon-
structed upon a loyal basis.
ResolUed, That the Government
bonds, not stipulated to be paid in
coin, should be paid in legal tender
note, In such amounts at a time not
to initiate the currency.
ResolUed, That the present heavy
burdens of taxation, brought upon the
country by armed treason, demand
the strictest economy In all the ex-
penditures of the nation, and to this
end we demand retrenchment, in both
the civil and military branches of the
Government.
ResolUed, That the men who or
ganized the reasonable order of the
Sons of Liberty for the purpose of
resisting the draft, and who failed,
and refused to give our patriotic
army their sympathy and support, in
the nations darkest hour of peril, are
unworthy the confidence Of a pure
and enlightened people, and are
wholly unfit to hold any Office of
trNst or profit within the gift of the
people.
ResolUea, That we are opposed to
negro suffrage In the State of Indiana,
and until the great questions growing
out Of the rebellion are settled we
condemn all attempts to thrust side
issues upon the Union party of the
country.
Resolved, That in remembrance of
our numerous pledges to the soldiers
of our land, we demand that the Citi-
zen soldier of the State be well rep
resented on the State ticket.
General GRANT was recommended
for President and Governor BAKER
for Governor; and vote of thanks
rendered WM. HAWTHORNE, Esq, for
the able manner in which he had filed
the position of Chairman of the
County Central Committee for the
past two years.
