ing short of this should satisfy any state
credit man who really believes his princi-
pies; namely, that the Legislature be in
BILE terms without further delay, without

Toshow how exactly this program

4th. We reassert our opposition 10 the re-
pudiation of any of the public obligations
of the State or Federal Government, and
declare that the reputation ofeither under
any prcteXt or disguise would be the most
direful OF evils, moral, financial and poliH-
cal, and in the patriotic language of the
National Democratic platform, we pledge
ourselves to the strict maintainance of the
public faith, state and National.
9Th. We recognize q disposition upon the
part of the creditors Of the State, in view of
the great losses entIIiled by the late war,
the great depression Of business, and the
general shrinlSnge IN values, TO make "a lib
eral reduction IN both the principal and

that we favor a prompt settlement by the

first love, the resolutions recom-
mended by the majority report.
The amendment being put to a
vote, was rejected by a large major
ity.
Next, the minority report Of the
regulators pure and simple, was
brought under consideration. The
portion of it relating TO the state
debt reads as follows:
?. We are opposed to the reputation OF
the Just Indebtedness Ofthe state.
3. We are opposed to the repudiati Of
the rights of sovereignty OF the people.
4. We recognize the time-hOnored axiom
OF the democratic party, that our govern
ment Is of the people, and that they are
sovereign and supreme, and that tile iegisia-
tlre are their servants, and therefore We are
unalterably opposed to any settlement OF
the state debt by the legislature until the
same has been first submitted To the people,
at a separate election, and ratified by their
free voices at the ballot-box.
5. We are unalterably opposed to surren-
dering the sovereignty OF tile state TO tax
ing from the people the right TO say what
the rate of taxation shall be; 10 placing the
state i'm the hands Of the federal courts, 10 be
run for she use and benefit Of the bond
