That we deem II unwise and ineXpe,
dient to enact amy further leglslation

dictate and other methods, aud we bo.
lieve the true policy OF the government
and best interests of the people would

That we are in favor OF the repeal Of

That we sincerely Ceplore the recent
violent collisions between labor and
capital, and to prevent the occurrence
thereof, and TO protect future public
order aud security, we believe that the
wages of employees of corporations en-
gagged In the business OF mining, man
ufacturing anu transportation, should
be a first lien upon the property, re-
ceipts and earnings of said corpora
lions, and that said liens should be
declared, defined AID enforced by APP
propriRte legislation, and that we favor
the passage of law for the ventilation
OF coal mines lone that would be just
to the miner and owner.
That the democratic iparty Ia the
friend of the common school system,
and will in every legitimate way labor
for its success, and will oppose any ut
tempt to divert any part OF the COM
mon school funds TO any sectarian pur'
pose.
We are opposed to class Legislation,
and protest against the grant OF subsl'
dies by the federal government, either
in lands, bonds, money or by pledge Of
the public credit.
That we abhor and hold up to public
detestatien the leaders In the republi'
can party who secretly connived, and
with bare faced etl'rontery carried out
the scheme by and through venial re-
turning boards, Whereby Samuel j
Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks, the
peoples choice for president and vice
president, were wrongfully kept out Of
the position to which free people hac
called them.
We hold it up as the mOnster Of tn,
age-a crime against free government
a crime against the elective franchise
and crime that can only be condone'
when the malefactors who seated
fraud in the presidential chair ar
driven from power and consigned l.
everlasting lnfamy by the peopl
whom they have outraged.
