mated for lieutenant governor,
Resolutions were passed endorsing the Phia-
delphia platform, reciing the difficulties be-
tween the settlers on the late Indian lands and
corporations who are claiming their lands, and
asking the government to be at the expense OF
testing the title, and if found to be in favor of
the corporations, that congress be asked to adopt
measures that will satisfy them, and to open the
land to settlers on homestead and presumption
laws.
One resolution denounces in strong terms the
corruption in securing official positions, and
pledges the party against all candidates for
united States senator next winter who were
tainted with corruption in the past, or who at
tempt TO use money or other improper influences
in the future. This resolution, after long and
angry debate, was struck out and substitute
adopted, pledging now, as in the past in favor
of the free and uncorrupt exercise of the cleo
tive franchise both at the polls and in the leg
lslature. The resolutions were then adopted
