buildings on the farm known as the s'Capt.
Wm Ki|born Place, "were totally destroyed by

household goods were saved, but the entire
contents of the barn. including carriages,
swine and other socks were consumed-the
property of Mr., Samuel Akroid, the lessee and

Sixth-The revolutionary movement
inaugurated under cover of ofinVestigation
but really as an attack upon the Presi-
dents title, calculated as it is to Mexican
ize the affairs of this country, to cause
general distrusL, to PROSTATE our indus
tries and aggravate and prOlOng the dis
tress of labOring and industrial classes,
we unqualifedly condemn. President
Hayes having been duly elected, and his
title subsequently settled under the Con-
stitution, by the highest tribunal and by
the act of both political parties, it can not
be questioned; and we recognize in his
administration the highest integrity and
patriotism; the most sincere effort to pro-
mote political purity and harmony, and
to rescue general business prosperity
throughout the whole country.
Seventh-The present Legislature is a
warning to the people of the State, and a
proof of the dangerous character of the
Democratic party. The majority of that
body, in an unusually long session, pass
ed no laws for the benefit of the people of
| the State, but they revolutionized every
| State institution to make places for Demo
| cratic partisans. They subordinated the
welfare of the insane, the blind, the mute
and the orphans to the interests of the
| Democratic party.
Eighth-Phe Constitution having never
contemplated more than one Congress
siOnal districting of the State during q
! term of ten years between the taking oi
the censuses, we condemn the recent out
rageous and unjust redistricting of the
State by the Legislature, in violation ot
usage, and at the dictation of Speaker
Randall, by which, on the basis of the
vote of the last Presidential election
when majority of the votes was Repub
lican, the Democrats would be enabled t.
carry fourteen out of twenty Congress
men.
