damaging TO our institutions, in Umces b
which they were not elected. 1t was a
outrage upon free government, and or1nD
against the elective franchise that can not b
forgiven, and must not be repeated, and fG
which the guilty parties must be drlven frSn
power and consigned TO infamy. And We h0h
up to public detestation the conduct OF he
President In rewarding the guilty parties
comforting upon them nigh and -lucratte
offices. To reward crime Is Itself criminal.
10. During the past few years our county
has been blessed In q high degree with favor.
BILE seasons, and the production -four valuable
staples has been enormously In excess OF or
own consumption. We have sold to foreiQ
countries many hundred millions more tim
we have purchased from them gold and siivr
has come to us; business confidence has ben
restored, and we have the hope and promise5f
good times again. In all this we recognize be
blessing of God upon our country, and we e.
tisan leaders claim that this is the work Of
their hands, and that the people should pe
thankful TO them and not grateful TO Heavn
for our returning prosperity.
IL. We approve the sentiment expressed y
Governor Hendricks in his letter OF accef-
ance In 1876, that "the Ubiquitous coolie systm
mics imports Chinese bondsmen, establishe a
species OF slavery, and interferes with the j.st
reward of labor on our Pacific Coast, shouldbe
IL. Our State administration is entitled to
the respect and support OF the people. he
government of Indiana Is efficiently admins
tered, and more cheaply than that OF any
other State.
IL. That we recognize the right OF colOed
citizens as well as white to immigrate into n
diana, but we condemn and denounce the &C.
ton of the Republican party in importing
into this state pauper negroes for the sole PR
pose of using them as voters.
IA. We hereby instruct our delegates to he
National Convention at Cincinnati to present.
TO that body the name of Thomas A. Hon
bricks as a candidate for President or he
fully maintained the cause of Democratic
truth and justice acceptably to the Democracy
OF the whole Union, thus assuring the election
OF Democratic Legislature and United States
Senator IN 1881, and fresh, pure and cOnsti-
tutional administration of the General CIV
eminent.
Is, We favor the continuance of the two
thirds rule in the National Convention, and
the delegates this day chosen are hereby in
structed to vote for Hon. Thomas A. Ben
bricks as our candidate for the Presidency, aud
60 vote as unit on all questions in said ON
ventton.
The report was accepted and adopted.
A Delegate objected to Democrats stand
ing In the aisles, when Governor Hendricks
responded: There are too many Democrats;
that's the trouble"
The Committee on Credentials reported
that there was nothing before them and
asked to be discharged. Carried.
