| We believe in American sol
for American citizens, and are
opposed to nonresident alien:
becoming land owners. The
public domain should be reserv'
ed as komesteads for actual set
tiers, and the accumulation Of
large tracts or bodies of land ir
the hands Of corporations or in
dividuals should be discouraged
and in the case Of land grants
! to railroad corporations where
the corporations have failed to
comply with the conditions OF
/ the grants the land should be
! forfeited to the General Govern.
ornment, and held for the bene-
ft OF actual settlers.
v.
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 ami to the
industrial welfare of the country,
and we favor the rnactmcnt of
State and National laws provid-
ing for the settlement Of cOHtro-
ve-sies between employers an
employees by methods of vo!un-
tary arbitration, or by the estab-
fishing Of Courts of Cancellation,
which will avoid the waste, loss
and ill-feeling resulting from
strikes ard lsck -outs, and the
usual expense Of litigation.
vi.
We 6eEeunce the action Of the
Democratic House Of Represel-
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 fer sup
plies furnished for the suppress
ion of Indian hestilities, and also
for services rendered during that
memorable struggle in which
the lives Of a large number of
our most respected citizens were
sacrificed.
VII.
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
last that body of Democratic
votes on three several occasions
rejected 6 resolution indorsing a
free parliament for Ireland,
which is in the following words:
"Res"lved, That the House |
Of Representatives earnestly |
sympat.lize with Right Hen.
William A Gladstone and his |
associates in their efforts to Sc
cure free parliament for the
people OF Ireland, and coRgratu-
late the people Of that hitherto
unhappy country, upon the
prospect of an early and success
ful termination of their long and
patriotic struggle for the right
of local self-government."
Thereby discOuraging the
growth of a liberal spirit
throughout Great Britain.
VIII.
We commend the efforts Of
Senator Jones and Congressman
Woodhurn in obtaining an APP
preparation of 100000 for pub
lie land surveys in this State,
and We condemn the action Of
the Commissioner Of the Gener-
al Land Office in Withholding
moneys appropriated for that
purpose, and particularly con-
denim the action Of Senator Fair
in absenting himself from Wash
ingten during all the time when
appropriations for this State |
were under consideration by the
Senate.
We endorse the action of Sem
ator Jones and Congressman !
Woodburn in their efforts to sup
press polygamy in Utah. and to
