Referring TO the coming convention at
Baltimore, he said he thought this con-
venIion
b FOREsHADOwED THE RESULT
of that, to the result of which he pledged
his support. He was not afraid of the
rings by which Grant was surrounded,
and the question was not as to the con-
tinuance of Grant in power, but
the continuance of the corrupt rings by
which he was governed. He, in con-
clusion, promised to do all he could to
insure the success of the ticket. As the
State went in October, it would go in
November. We have turned our backs
upon tho past, we stand in the present
and look TO the future.
THE PAST Is LOST,
to us the future is ours. Let us make ii
| a glorious one.

PLATFORM AND RESOLUTIONS.

report:
ResOlUed 6y the Democracy Of Indiana
iH CORUeHtiOR assembled, That the prin-
ciples Of the
CINCINNATI LIBERAL REPUBLICAN CON-
vENTION,
taken in connection with the PROPOSE
tiOns contained in Horace GreeIey's let
ter accepting the nomination of that
convention, constitute a platform in
which all the elements of opposition TO
the present corrupt administration of the
Democratic government can stand, and
which propositions are as follows:
First-All the political rights and fran
chises which have been acquired through
the late bloody cOnvulsions must and
shall be guaranteed, maintained, enjoyed
and respected evermore.
SecOnd-All the political rights and
franchises which have been lost through
that cOnvulsion should and must be
promptly restored and re-established, so
that there shall be henceforth
No PRESCRIBED CLASS,
and no disfranchised caste within the
limits of our Union, whose long es-
tranged people sball reunite and frater-
niZe upon the broad basis of universal
amnesty with impartial suffrage
Third-That, subject to our solemn
constitutional obligation tomaintain the
equal rights of all citizens, our policy
should aim to
LOCAL SELF-GOvERNMENT,
and not at Capitalization that the civil
authority should be supreme over the
military; that the writ Of hd6eds corpus |
should be jealously upheld as asateguard
of personal freedom; that the individual
citizens should yujoy the largest liberty
consistent with public order, and that |
there shall be nc Federal supervision of
the internal policy of the several States |
and municipalities, but that each
SHALL BE LEFT FREE
to enforce the rights and promote the |
well-being of its inhabitants by such |
means as the judgment Of its people |
shall prescribe.
FOurth-That there shall be a real, |
and not merely a simulated
REFORM IN THE CIVIL SERVICE
of the republic, to which end it is indis- |
pensable that the chief dispenser of its
vast official patronage shall be shielded |
from the main temptation to use power |
by arulefnexorably forbidding |
and precluding his reelection.
ResoJUed, That we regard it as unwise |
and imprudent to place two tickets in
for the offices of President
and Vice. President, with the representa-
tives of these principles, as the division |
of its friends would insure
THE DEFEAT OF BOTH,
and it is, therefore, the fixed conviction
of this convention that the Democratic |
Convention to assemble in Baltimore in |
