Inc Republicans of Indiana in convention assem-
bled reatirm the truth of the declarations made and
1uy lndorse the resolutions adopted by the National
convention assembled at Chicago on the Cd of June,
1ooo. IN the nominees Of the Chicago Convention
we recognize representative men of the Republican
party, and statesmen who may be well intrusted
with the administration of our National Government:
and we heartily commend them to the support Of the
people
Res0Jued, That as an infeble principle of person
al liberty, we maintain the right OF ocomotion in
cIualng the right Of foreigners to emigrae hither
ana become American citizens, and the right OF the
nadNe-oorn cltlzens to migrate from one State to
other without vexaous investigation to their mo-
tives for so doing
iteSotUed, That we favor such State legislation as
Will protect the people from imposition by the dis
honest procurement of promissory notes payable i'll
oanK, without, however, impairing the validity Of
commercial credit
HeSot0ed, That we congratulate the people of Indi-
noCO1 Ai,N1,o
ments recently submitted, under which, by wi~t
legislation, the purity of the ballot-box may be Sc
cured, economy in the Government attained, the
speedy administration OF Justice provided for, ana
we point to the open hostility Of the leaders Of The
Democratic party to these sautary provisions az
evidence OF the insincerty Of their professions their
untalthfulness to the public welfare, and their unfit
ness to administer the State Government, who
recognizing, at the same time, the patriotism and in
dependence of the large mass of the Democratic
party VINO gave those amendments their support
ReS0tUed, That we reatfirm our devotion to thu
system OF free, common, unsectaran schools as Ii
source OF popular intelligence and Indispensable
the perpetuity of free Government
ReSoUed, That the gratitude of the country to III
brave men who periled their lives for the preserya
uon OF the Union is d perpetual debt which mus
never be forgotten, and the duty Of Congress to en-
body this sentiment in the form of laws for the
substantial benefit is imperative.
Resot1ed, That we favor all proper measures END
ing to develop the great agricultural and mineral re
sources OF our State, and especially such wise l(
wholesome laws as will insure the comfort and safet
OF those engaged in the dangerous work Of mining
and, recognizing existing defects in our laws, ",
favor such further legislation as will secure t. a
Speeuy @nu enectual enforcement Ct their
The platform was agreed to without question
but with no special demonstrations.
