|. Resolred, That we look on the In.
anguration Of K. B. Hayes to the high
office Of President OF the United States,
in spite Of the majority Of the electoral
and popular vote given by the people TO
Samuel ]. Tilden, as the most dangerous
encrOachment on popular rights that
has ever been attempted in this or any
other free country; repetition Of the fraud
isnot to be tolerated; destruction OF in.
dustry OF the country and pauperism OF
labor are inevitable fruits OF the vicious
laws enacted by the Republican party;that

tions Of the community and removing the
great stringency complained ofin business
circles, we demand the immediate repeal
OF the redemption act.

acceptance by the present administration
Of the constitutional and pacific policy
OF local self government in the States Of
the South, so long advocated by the Dem
ocratic party, and which has brought
peace and harmony TO that section OF the
Union.
7. The Registry law framed by the last
Legislature is burdeHsOme and expensive
aud discriminates uniustly against the
poorer classes OF voters, and we therefore
demand its immediate repeal.

Government alone OF all the circulating

yertible.
10. That We condemn the course OF the
