Opposed To Injunction.

We are opposed to the indiscriminate use of the power of injunction by the federal courts without notice to defend- ants and without hearing, and we de- mand that the right of a trial by jury in proceedings arising out of indirect con- tempt of such injunctions shall not be denied to a defendant in such cases.
 We disapprove of the efforts of the President of the United States to dictate the nomination of his successor, whether by the use of patronage or by other means, as dangerous to our form of gov ernment
 We favor a generous pension policy, as a matter of justice to the sur viving veterans, their widows and de- pendants
 'The present financial stringency fur nishes additional proof that the repub- lcan leaders are either unwilling or in- competent to protect the interests of the general public. They have so linked us to Wall street that the sins of the specu- lators are visited upon the entire coun- try. The old fallacy that a panic was impossible under a high protective tariff and a republican administration has now been fully exploded We call the atten- ton of the people to the fact that every financial panic in this country since the Civil War has been the product of re- publican legislation, and we regret the republican mismanagement that once more, in time of profound peace and with every natural reason for prosperity, plunged the nation into the evils of finan cial stringencies and industrial depres- sion Thousands of men in all lines of human activity have been thrown out of employment wages have been reduced and the comforts of the family have been effected. We condemn the act of the Secretary of the Treasury in selling in I. l- t., fft,NA Af fann an and for disposing of most of, the prizes of such sales to the banks of New York that were largely responsible for the financial troubles.
 Pure Food Legislation.
 "We cordially favor all legislation tend ing to safeguard the interests of the peo- pie in the matter of pure food and drugs.
 We favor the amendment of the law regulating the payment of employees of manufacturing and mining companies so as to provide for a weekly payment of wages due such employees, instead of pay ments each two weeks, as now provided.
 "Defnocracy enters upon the presiden- tial campaign with a leader already chosen to command when but young man, combatted in two. successive cam paigns by the unreasoning assaults of his adversaries and a debauched suffrage, corrupted by contributions made by pred atory wealth, this great leader, by force of his splendid intellect, his noble man hood, his matchless eloquence, his purity of life has not only become easily the greatest private citizen of the republic, but an absolute moral force in the world In honering him, the democracy Of In diana honors itself The democracy Of the United States with one accord de- flyers it's banner to Nebraska's gifted son, Hon. William J. Bryan.
 "The condition of our country and the remedies to be applied require that there should be placed at the head of our gov ernment a man whose sympathles are with the masses and the promisings of whose heart beat responsive to the good of the people and whose honor, integrity or capacity cannot be questioned The man of the hour is America's foremost eitizen William Jennings Bryan, and we hereby indorse him for the presidency of the United States, and instruct our dele gates to the national convention to least the vote of Indiana for his nomination.
