Resolved, that it is the sentiment of this
convention that the present tariff, being

especially in those of direct Importance
to the farmers of the Northwest, shall
be reduced, but shall not experience
such reduction as will prove detri.
mental to the interests of our industries
and laborers.
Resolved, that we recognize
with pride in Hon. John Lind an
honorable and faithful public servant,
and that we are most heartily in favor
of his denomination and election. Re-
solved, that we recognize the untirine
energy and exemplary ability displayed
by Hon. Knud Nelson. His clear and
common-sehse views as expressed on
the tariff entities him to our hearty
thanks.
Resolved. that we recognize
that the greatest debt this country
owes is its debt to the soldiers and sail
ors, whose valor saved the Union. It
is the most sacred debt, and we are in
favor of the enactment of liberal pen
sion-law, not as a matter of charity, but
as matter of right and justice only.
Resolved, that, the old-time copper
heads, the aiders and abettors of trai-
tors during the dark days of the Rebel
lion, who now pose before the people
as the defenders and saviors of the I'm
ion and as the friends of the old soldiers,
be denounced as unworthy of our respect,
and that we, remembering their. doings,
view them with scorn and contempt.
Be it further resolved, that this conYen.
lion heartily indorses the course Of Hon.
