INDIANAPOLIS, September 2l.-The
convention reassembled ct two o'clock
this afternoon, with General Noyes in
in the chair The committee on reso.
lutions submitted their report through
General $. \, llurlbut, which were
adopted, and which were ny follows:
Whereas, Soldiers aud sailors Of the
United states took arms to defend the
integrity OF the union, to maintain the
supremacy of law and sUlidity Of our
common country; and, whereas, these
results Of the great war crystalized with
const itutional amendments which
have been accepted ty the American
people as full payment and satislac-
ton for the lives lost ard the treasure
expended in the struggle, and whereas
the cowardly foes that struck at the
back of the agoni1ed nation have
now leagued themselves In perfect I'M
ion with the holder rebel element to
render nugatory the fruits of our vic
tories, and to obtain by fraud what
they failed to secure by force, there
fore be it
ReSOiCed, That this American nation
is the creation of God and the people;
that IL is worth all the sacrifices we
have made or can make and that its
value can only be measured by what
we are ready to give for it; that the
destiny fthis country for good Is COM
mitted to the Republican party that
the Democratic organization, headed
by Tilden and Hendricks, Is u bad
and base representation of the Ameri-
can people; that il Is unsound on
the cardinal questions of life
or death to the Republic;
that industry and free government 20
hand in hand, is the child of Republic
can institutions and dependent upon
Republican success; that good govern
ment can only be obtained by obedi-
ence to law; and that denial of politi-
cal rights to freemen of the South il q
step backward and tends to anarchy;
that hope OF industry, now Frustrated
by the factious proceedings OF u Demo-
cratic House Of Representatives., de-
ponds upon the success of the Ropubli-
can party; that II. b. Hayes and w. A.
Wheeler are fit leaders of the great
party which saved the nation and IL
destined to preserve it; that we pledge
to them our full, open and manly sup
port.
The followin kilograms were read
First from Hayes-'I am grateful to
my comrades Of the union army as.
sembled at indianapolis for their
hearty greeting. Men who maintain
ed the cause of nationality and freedom
on 80 many battle fields are not willing
to see results of war imperiled by neg
lect or misconduct at the ballot box.
This example will be very influential
with all intelligent and patriotic peo-
pie.
From Wheeler regret my inabili-
ty to be present. My cordial greeting
to the soldiers and the sailors. May
their ballots be as potent as were
their arms upon land and sea.
From Grant-Please express to the
veteran union soldiers my regret that
| cannot be with them on this happy
occasion. hope the meeting of 80
many soldiers from so many parts of
the union may prove as interesting to
those meeting as it will prove beneti-
cial in reminding them and the coun-
try that all was not vain that they 30
much suffered for, the preservation
and perpetuation of II united govern
ment
Before dark people began to assem-
BILE along the line of march designated

hotels and other buildings along the
line were handsomely illuminated.
The procession moved at s o'clock p. m.
and was in size about the same as the
day parade. The burning Of colored
fires, candles and rockets were a
prominent feature.
