We believe in American sol
:. for American citizens, and ar
|. opposed to nonresident alien
becoming land owners. Th'
public domain should be reserv
ed as homesteads for actual set
tiers, and the accumulation O
large tracts or bodies of land ir
the hands Of corporations or in
dividuals should be discouraged
and i'm the case Of land grants
to railroad corporations where
the corporations have failed tC
comply with the conditions OF
the grants the land should be
forfeited to the General Govern.
Ornment, and held for the bene-
fit Of actual settlers.

We favor the intelligent or
ganiZatiOn of labor for such wOr-
thy purposes as mutual educa-
ton and for the protection of
their interests in all things re-
lating to their welfare and to the
industrial welfare of the country,
and we favor the enactment of
State and National laws provid-
ing for the settlement Of contro-
versies between employers and
employees by methods of volun-
tary arbitration, or by the estab-
fishing of Courts of Cancellation,
which will avoid the waste, loss
and ill-feelins resulting from
strikes and lock-outs, and the
usual expense Of litigaticn.

We denounce the action Of the
Democratic House Of Represen-
tatives at its last session in strik-
ing from the bill to compensate
the citizens of this State for
losses sustained in the Indian |
War of 1860 all claims for sup
plies furnished for the suppress
ion Of Indian hostilities, and also |
for services rendered during that
struggle in which
the lives Of a large number of
our most respected citizens were
sacrificed.
We denounce the pretense of
the Democratic party of having
sympathy for the cause of local
self-gOvernment IN Ireland,
while the Democratic House Of
Representatives, in Committee
Of the whole, repeatedly refused
to indorse that principle. In
the months of April and June
ast that body of Democratic
votes on three several occasions
rejected a resolution indorsing a
free parliament for Ireland,
which is in the following words:
"Resnlved, That the House
If Representatives earnestly
with Right Hon.
William A Gladstone and his
in their efforts to Sc
'ure Il free parliament for the
people of Ireland, and congratu-
ate the people of that hitherto
Unhappy country, upon the
Of an early and success
IL! termination of their long and
patriotic struggle for the right
# local self-governnent."
Thereby discouraging the '
.rVwth of q liberal spirit I
Great Britain.

We commend the efforts Of
Jones and Congressman S
VOOdburn in obtaining an ap- s
'ropriatien of 100000 for pub I
ic land surveys in this State,
nd we condemn the action of
he Commissioner of the Gener- Q
| Land Office in Withholding c
appropriated for that T
purpose, and particularly con- +
lemn the action of Senator Fair Q
n absenting himself from Wash a
ngtOn during all the time when Y
appropriations for this State e
we're under consideration by the

IN.
We endorse the action of Sem II

Voodburn in their efforts to sup 1
