That we look upon the Inauguration Of r. B.
Hayes to the high Office of the presidency oi
the United States In spite of majority of cleo.
toral and popular votes given by the people to
SamuelJ. Tilden as the most dangerous en-.
croachment upon popular rights that has even
been attempted in this or any other free
country. Arepetition of the fraud will not be
tolerated Second, the destruction of the In.
dustry Of the country and pauperism Of labor
are the inevitable fruits of the vicious laws
enacted by the Republican party. Third,
that as means for relieving the
distressed portions of the community
and removing the great stringency complain
ed of in business circles, VIC demand the im
mediate repeal ofthe resumption act. Fourth,
that we denouncc as an outrage upon the
rights Of the people the enactment of the Re-
publican measure demonctizing silver and
demand the passage of law which
shall restore to silver it's monetary
powers. Fifth, that we favor the retention Of
grecnback currency as the best paper money
we have had and declare against any further
contraction. Sixth, We congratulate the
country upon the acceptance by the present
administration of the constitutional and pa

States South, so long advocated by the Demo-
cratic party, and which has brought peace and
harmony to that section of the Union. Sey-
enth, that the registry law framed by the
last legislature is burdensome and expcn-
sive, and discriminates nnjustly against
the poorer class of voters, and We therefore
demand it's immediate repeal Eighth, we fa-
vor tariff for revenue only. Ninth, we favor
the issue by the general government alone of
all circulating medium whether paper or
metallic, to be always legal tender and inter-
convertible. Tenth, that We condemn the act
of the federal administration in using regular
troops of the United States to interfere with
elections and other political affairs of States as
unconstitutional, unlawful and an unjustifable
destruction of the rights of the people and
States. Eleventh, I'VE recommend the ticket this
day framed by the convention to the favorable
consideration and support Of all the citizens
Of the State.
