publican party is the true friend
Of the laborer, we point TO the
fact that while opposing all attempts
to array capital and labor against each
other as naturally destructive, 1t has
been by the efforts of this party that
labor was ennancipated from the own
ership ofeapitsl, free homesteads pro-
vided for settlers Of the public domain,
the hours of labor reduced, and COM
plete equality of rights established be-
fore the law, and therefore we invite
workingmen to seek whatever further
advantage OF amelioratiOn they may
desire within the embrace Of the party
Of liberty and equality.
Fifteenth--Favors the adoption OF
the amendment to the State cOnstitu-
ton proposed by the last legislature
to prohibit the State from assuming or
paving the canal debt which was
charged exclusively on the Wabash
and Erie canal, under the legislation
OF 1916.
Sixteenth the admins.
tratiOn of Governor Conrad Baker,
and applauds the firm, able and cour-
teous manner in which he has dis
charged the duties of his high office.
SeYenteenth--That our senator and
Republican members of congress de-
serve the appreciation Of their constit-
uents for the firm, able and energetic
manner in which they have dis.
charged their duties.
Eighteenth-That the administra-
ton of General Grant has been con-
sistent with the principles Of the Re
publican party, and eminently just,
wise and humane, and such as ful6lls
his pledges, and deserves our cordial
support, and therefore we instruct
cur delegates to the national cOnven-
ton to vote for the denomination OF
Grant and Oolfax as our candidates for
president and Vice-president.
The resolutions were adopted amid
deaiening cheers and applause, but
single negative vote being given. The
proceedings of the convention were
throughout.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The convention yeassembled at two
O'Clock. The committee on platform
reported for adoption resolutions,
which were taken up sertGti'n and
adopted. The preamble declares as
follows; We hold that all political
power is inherent in the people, and
that free government is founded on
their authority and established for
their benefit; that all citizens are equal
In political rights, and entitled to the
largest religious and political liberty
compatible with the good order of
society as also the use and enjoyment
of the fruits of their labor and tai
ents, and that no man or set OF men
are entitled to exclusive separate
emoluments and privileges from the
government but in consideration of
public services, and any laws destruc-
tive of these fundamental principles
are without moral binding fofce, and
should be Iepealed; and believe that
ell the evils resulting from unjust leg
islation nov affecting the industrial
classes can be removed BY the adop-
ton OF the principles contained in the
following declaration. The resolutions
declare;
First-That il is the duty Of the
government to establish just sta, de
ard oi. distribution of capital and labor,
by providing q purely national circu
lating medium, based on the faith and
resources of the nation, Issued directly
to the people without the intervention
of any system Of banking corporations
which money shall be a legal tender
In payment Of all debts, public and
private, and interehang cable, at the
option of the holder, for government
bonds bearing rate of interest not to
exceed 355 per cent, subject to future
legislation by congress.
Second-That the national debt
should be paid In good faith, accord.
ing to the original contract, at the
bdIllc5b OHNAOA Va bAC kONCAhAAOAti
without mortgaging the property of
the people and the future earnings OF
labor to enrich q few capitalists at
home and abroad.
Third-That justice demlnds that
the burdens OF government should be
so adjusted as TO bear equally on all
classes and interests, and that exemp-
ton from the taxation Of government
bonds bearing extortionste rates OF
interest is q violation of all just prin-
cipIes of the revenue laws.
Fourth-That the public lands Of the
United States belong to the people,
and should not be sold to individuals,
nor to corporations, but shculd be held
iOr the benefit Of lsndless settlers in
amounts not exceeding one hundred
and sixty acres.
Fifth-That congress should mod
ify the tariff SO as to admit
free such articles Of common use
as we can neither produce MOI
grow, and lay duties for revenue
mainly upon articles Of luxury and
upon such articles of manufacture a
we, having the raw material In abun'

correct enough to say, "A person.

Caught up the maiden'> rose.
Then in his cap he placed the flower

And boldly to the maiden'S bower
He hied at daylight's close.
