sixth-That all public lands Of the United
States wherever situated, should be opened to
actual settlement, and we are therefore in fav-
or of opening up for occupancy by actual set
tiers, all such lands now comprised within the
boundaries Of the Indian Territory, and we en-
phatically denounee rs unjust and outrageous
the arrest and removal Of actual settlers from
such lands by United States troops. The con-
tnuous refusal by the United States govern
mont to permit the question in relation to title
to lands located in the so-called Indian Terrific
~, to be decided by the United States courts, IL
an Outrage upon the rights of all citizens, and
cowardly evasion Of direct call to answer a
question Of vital importance to such citizens.
Seventh-That the laboring classes require
the fostering care Of our legislature, and the
protecting hand Of official power In their strug-
gle for life, liberty and the pursuit of happi.
ness" This we pledge to them now in the spirit
Of pure democracy, which has ever been the
trionS of labor; and that we denounce and will
oppose the importation Of foreign pauper labor
under contract to compete with our citizens:
and further, that we arc opposed to convict Ia
Dor as being in opposition to the free labor of
our country.
Eighth-That We respectfully invite the CO.
operation OF all good citizens without respect
u party, who can give hearty Endorsement to
lis our platform Of principles, touching the
qpestions involved between the political parties
