Secretary.
H. H. Trimble was nominated for Gov
ernor by reclamation, and Moses Bloom
for Lieutenant Governor. Bloom declined
the honor and j. .. Woman was nomi-
mated for Supreme Judge, and Irwin Baker
for Superintendent Of Public Instruction.
Resolutions were adopted declaring that
liberty depends upon a strict construction
aud observance Of the Constitution and
all its amendments; that both the General
Government and the States should be
sternly restricted to their respective
spheres in the exercise of power; that the
policy OF the Republican party, which in
fiates the importance Of the States when
necessary to cover the theft OF the Presi-
dency, and magniies the functions Of the
General Government to cover the coercion
of the States into an Endorsement Of the
Presidents partisan will, is fruitful Of dan
ger; that evidence Of these nefarious
schemes exists in the attitude Of the fraud
ulent Executive and the Republican party,
who seem determined to deprive the Gov
ernment Of its army, SO necessary to the
defense Of the frontier. and for protection
from foreign and domestic enemies, by
vetoing appropriations for its support; that
we regard the Democratic Congressman as
worthy OF our ancestors, who revolted
against despotism; that we favor the re-
duction Of the bonded debt as fast as pos
sible by the use of the money in the Treas
ury; that we favor an unlimited coinage of
the 412s grain silver dollar, and making
certificates for silver bullion deposited in
the Treasury a legal tender. The resolu-
tions further pronounce for q tariff for
only, economy and reduction of
the salaries and number Of officials. The
party, being opposed to free whisky, favors
a judicious license Law, demands strict
from public servant and punish
ment Of defaulters.
