The republicans of Indiana, in state conven-
ton assembled. believing that a continuation
of the republican party in power is essential to
good government and the development of the
material resources of the country. hereby reat-
firm our devotion 10 the principles of the party
as set forth In the platform adopted at the ma
tiOnal convention in 1855, and we declare:
That pure ballot and fair count are neces-
snry to the maintenance OF our republican
institutions and the liberties of the people.
That our manufacturing and labor interests
should be protected by duties on imports, and
by excluding from our shores the criminal and
vicious classes of other countries.
We indorse the policy of reciprocity. whereby
a larger market has been secured for our sur
plus products.
We are in favor of honest money, of a dollar
that whether it be of geld or silver or paper,
shall be of like value in the payment of debts.
We indorse the acts OF the Fifty-frst con-
gress which, in the main, fixed in the laws of
the land tue principles advocated by the re-
publican party in the campaign OF 1855, thus
fulfilling its promises to the people.
We lament the death of the late governor OF
Indiana, Gen. Alvin z. Hovey. He was a
gallant soldier loyal and patriotic citizen,
a faithful, broad-minded and conscientious
executive. We place on record here our ad-
miration for his high character and personal
worth as q citizen, soldier and chief officer of
the state.
We indorse the brilliant administration Of
Benjamin Harrison, under which the country
has prospered, the rights of American citizens
abroad are maintained, the bonded debt of the
[ nited States rapidly extinguished and the
revenue collected with diminished cost to the
people. and without corruption in any branch
of the public service. President Harrison has
discharged his high duties In the spirit of a
lofty patriotism and with a conscientious re-
gard for the rights of all our people. That such
q condition of affairs may continue to prevail
we urge his denomination by the national con-
vention at Minneapolis. He has lifted the ma
ton higher in greatness. power and dignity,
and we instruct the delegates this day elected
10 give him their earnest and answering sup
port, by working and voting for his renomine
ton, so long as his name is before the cOnyen
ton. Thus and thus only, will they ratify the
will of the republicans of Indiana. already pro
