Republican parties as legally issued is an indebted
ness binding in law and in morals on the property
and conscience of the State and that any attempt to
impair the obligation of that indebtedness, or to re-
readjust it, or scale 1t, or in any other manner to
change the letter and spirit of the contracts without
the voluntary consent of the bondholders previously
fairly and understandingly obtained is downrightre
pudiation and an act of high-handed dishonesty.
ReSOLeed, That any voluntary proposition from
creditors to take less than the face value of these
bonds in consequence of losses incurred by our c1t
zens during the war of the rebellion should be thank
fully and unhesitatingy accepted, and the new cen
tract faithfully and promptly complied with, and we
denounce the refusal of the Democratic party to &C.
cept such proposition as refusal OF liberal ano
voluntary reduction and we recognize IN SAID retusa
overwhelming evidence that large majority OF tne
Democratic party intend to repudiate the bonded
debt of the State and thereby to subject State to
the opprobrium of the peonle who regard the con-
tract of State with her creditors as of sacred inyo
liability.
ReSOtCed, That the reasons prompting the Demo
cratic party of Tennessee and other States of the
South to repudiate the debts of their respective
States, will, when logically corred out, prompt them
also to repudiate the entire debt of the United States
and we hereby declare our solemn Judgment to be
that as soon as the repudiating element OF
the Democratic party has wiped out the debts OF tner
respective States they will declare tn favor OF re-
udiating the debt incurred by the nation in pre-
servicg the Union.
ReSOECed That we renew our declarations in2fa
of the common schools for the education OF all the
children of the State we believing thatschool houses
are better than court houses, and that lntelgence Is
the mother of morality and liberty.
ReSOtUed, That we recognize the right OF the Ia
boring men and women of Tennessee as deserving of
our most tender parental solictude and denounce
all legislation that dscriminetes against the poor in
favor of the rch believing that the poor should be
protected, and that there can be no permanent
public private prosperity, except 1T be based on
perfect harmony between labor and capital
Res0LUed, That we are opposed to bringing con-
vic labor in unnecessary competition with free labor
and to prevent this favor the employment OF pen1-
tentiary convicts below certain grade on puohc
works in improving public roads in the State.
ReSOLCsd. That we are in favor of law and order
and opposed to mob violence: that we demand the
impartial enforcement of the law anywhere and at all
times that we denoupce social ostracsm because OF
political opinion, standing reproach to Republl-
government and as calculated to discourage the
incoming of capital and labor and as destructive to
the business prosperity of people, that we advo-
cate all measures that promote peace, protect indus
try, encourage temperance and advance morality,
and pledge the votes and voice OF the Republican
party to very good work that will benefit the 1ndi-
vidual build up the State and strengthen the nation
