"YOur committee on resolutions beg
leave to submit the following:
ave endorse tue action of our repre-
sentatiyes in Congress in resisting any
further contraction Of the cusrency and
the effOrtB made to rob pur currency
of its legal teuder quality. We ut
terly condemn the laws of Congress
changing the payment of bonds from
lawful money to IOin.
"We endorse tho efforts of our Con =
gress to dispense with b,yonets and
gag laws at the ballot box, but believe
that the practice of passing general
laws as riders to appropriation bills
chould be discountenanced and discon
tinued. We condemn the national
banking system and believe that our
circulating melinm should be increas.
ed by the payment of maturing bonds
in lawful money so far rs it can be le-
gally and constitntionally done.
1--WE endorse the Cincinnati plat
form and its nominees, and we heaiti
~ ask the greeubackers to assist us as
we both scent to be striving to attain
the same end, viz: A Just reward for
labor and equal and exact justice, pro-
lection aud encouragement to the poor
"a well rs well as the rich, and to les
sen ms far as it can be done by consti-
tntional means, the tremendous taxa
tion to pay our bonded debt, with a
care always to preserve the integrity
of the Federal Government and ia
financial standing mt home and abroad.
ave believe that rs much money
shonld be appropriated to support the
public schools as the State can afford
after paying the interest and sinking
fund Of the public debt and defrnyinl
the incidental expenses Of the Stat,
government administered on an eco
nomicnl scale.
ave endorse the administration o.
Gov 0ran NJ. Roberts, and believe the
same To have been fair, economical and
humane.
"As We should endeavor TO elect tn,
unrest and iitiest men for office, ant
as we are personally acquainted will
those in tho county who offer them
selves ma candidates for office, we bo
lieve il would be nseles7 and nnwis'
to drag poli,ics into county canvass
by holding county convention u
nominate candidates for county Offices
but that each citizen should vote 70
tho man that he knows or believes Il
be the best man for the place.
