l. ReSolced That we look upon the in
auguration of Rutherford B. Hayes to the
high Office of President of the United States,
in spite of majority of the electoral, and
popular vote given by the people to Samuel
j. Tlden, as the most dangerous encrOach-
ment upon popular rights that has ever been
attempted in this OF any other free country,
and that repetition of the fraud viii not be
tolerated.
2 The destruction of the industry of the
couniIy and the pauperizing of labor are the
inevitable fruits of the vicious laws enacted
by the republican party.

ed portions of the community and removing
the great stingency complained CT In business
circles, We demand the immediate repeal OF

the rights of the people the enactment of the
republican measure demonetizing silver, and
demand the passage of law which shall re-
store silver to Its monetary power.

back currency. as the best paper money we
have ever had, and declare against any
further contraction

acceptance by the present administration of
the constitutional and pacific policy of local
self-gOvernment IN the States South, so long
advocated by the democratic party, which
has brought peace and harmony to that sec
ton OF the Union.
Z. That the registry law framed by the
last legislature is buriensome and expensive
and discriminates unjustly against the poorer
classes of voters and we therefore demand
It's immediate repeal.
s. We favor tariff for revenue.

ernment alone of all circulating medium,
