resources Of the people, and demand tia
they shall be made more fully to confirm
thereto. We disapprove all extra com.
pensation, and favor economy in govern.
ment, state and national that we deem
the act known as the "funding bill'' as
mpolitic, unjust and oppressive, and en-
acted solely in the interest of bondholders,
regardless of the condition Of the state re-
sources and we are IN favor of and
demand the submission of The question OF
the financial obligation of West Virginia to
| Virginia to the supreme court Of the United
States for decision.
MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT.
We are in favor of the development
of the material resources Of our state,
which, urder the rule of the Conservative
party and its predecessors, have lain DOR
mant. The mines of coal, iron and other
minerals, the vast water-power, and the
many other material resources of the
state, which exist in rich profusion on every
hand, need but enterprise and capital to
develop them, and thus make Virginia one
Of the greatest manufacturing states in the
Union. To this end, we are in favor OF
such liberal legislation as shall tend to en-
courge the investment of capital in mining
and manufacturing operations, and of gen.
eral laws Of incorporation, together with
such liberal spirit on the part of our peo-
pie as shall invite men of enterprise to
come and dwell among us. a4

JUSTICE. ls*
We are in favor Of reform in the
administration Of justice in this state, and
an enforcement of the state constitution il.

justice to all, irrespective of race, color,
condition or political sentiment.
We favor the election of the president,
vice. president, and oil other officers of the
government, as far as possible,iby the d.
rect vote Of the people.
ARBITRATION.
We approve and endorse the noble |
and humane policy inaugurated by Gene
raj Grants administration, whereby all |
disputes shall be made the |
subject Of arbitration, thereby preventing |
the dread havoc of war.
FEDERAL COURTS OPEN TO ALL.
The Federal courts should be accessible |
in all the states, to all citizens on appeal
or redress of wrongs or protection Of |
lights, in cases, where, upon a proper
showing. equity demands it.

order to secure fair elections, by the

rage according to the dictates Of his own
conscience.
