Armstrong permanent chairman.
The Committee on Resolutions
reported the following, which were
ResoIued, 1. While we recognize
and respect the difference of opinion
existing among us as to thecourse pur-
sued by President Hayes toward the
South, we are heartily In accord in
honoring the patriotic motives which
have guided him, and in hoping that
the result Of this policy will be peace,
good will and complete recognition of
the equal rights Of oil men In every
section of the country, and to the ef-
forts of hisadministration to carry Into
effect the principles of the platform on
which he was elected, we pledge our
hearty and cordial support.
The second resolution Is as follows: :
The Electoral Commission having been
created at the urgent solicitation of the
Democratic party, and after the Oft
repeated declarations of Its leaders in
both houses of Congress that no faction
could cavil at its decisions, we witness
with profound establishment the as
saufts Of that patty upon the august
tribunal offts own creation because its
decisions disappointed their expecta-
tons Of official patronage, which as
saults, so far as they seek to impair
the confidence of the people in the Just
title of the President to high office, are
equally childish and foolish, but may
become extremely .mischi evOus In as
sisting to diminish popular respect for
The third resolution calls upon
members Of State and national legis-
latures TO assist in.the return of pros
perity to the country, by adopting such
measures as will c0nduce to that end.
The fourth and fifth resolutions oppose
any grantOfmOre than 100 acres OF land
to any one person, and also oppose the
issue of patents by acts of Congress.
Sixth-That the long and successful
existence under the laws Of Congress
of q double coin standard warrants us
In demanding the early repeal of legis-
latiOn which demOnetized silver, and
established an almost exclusive gold
standard, and we therefore favor u re-
turn to the free use and unrestricted
coinage of the dollar of 1898, and its
restoration to the position 1t held as O
legal-tender during the eighty years of
our national existence, thus pre- -erving
the equality of the commercial value
of the silver dollar with the gold dollar,
keeping both in circulation.
Toe seventh resolution Endorses the
administration Of Gov. Hartranft.
E. hth-We are in favor of and
against lawlessness and anarchy with
all their attendant horrors and crimes.
Equal rights In making laws impose
equal duties In obeying them when
made, and we tender our hearty thanks
touGov. Hartranft and the officers and
soldiers Of his command for the
prompt and, we hope, effectual sup
preston of the lawiess disturbances
which recently occurred I'm this State.
: NinthTWe hold In equal respect the
rights Of capital to control Us Invest
ments and of labor to determine the
value of its services. We deprecate
any assertion by violence of the
rights of either, and we assert 1t
as the duty of all citizens to hold their
respective rights within the just limit
atoms of law, and that any attempt to
coerce the other by unlawful means
should be promptly repressedby such
lawful authority as the exigency de-
mands.
The remaining resolutions, except
the eleventh, which favow protective
tariff, relates entirely to State affairs.
