Tue secondresolution threatens the re-

iyas trap for working men; favors q
Emitted number of hours for days work,
but fails 70 say how many. The hours
cflabor are already limied 1t contains
ether clap-trap of like character. The
ffth-fesolution does not admire the way
ID which Governors Hayes and Lee have
exposed the doipgs of the last legisla-
ture, which is not to be wondered at
The sixth apologies for the length of
the sessions, and general extraTsgance
Ofthe last Legislature, and the seventh
tries to fasten contractors fraud, in
the erection Of public buildings upon
the Republican.
. In the eighth resolution they dodge
the issue of negro suffrage, which they
had previously tried to raise, and con-
tent themselves with a declaration of
the right of the States to regulate the
question of suffrage. Not q word
against the right of the ''nigger" to

them that they alone have been their
friends in the past, and win remain de-
voted to them in the future. ''Success
at any price" In the ninth resolution
they harp on the Preserved rights" of
the States, If Preserved rights" means

of the tOiIing masses." Even

The tenth resolution denounces Ma {

lenand that assassins like Yerger, the
murderer Of Col. Crane, shall go un- c
lung; and that men who mob a guard a
