Hendricks, from the Committee on Resolutions, reported tbe following platform, which was adopted : - The Democratic party of Indiana, in convention assembled, renemi its pledge of fidelity to the doctrines and traditions of the party as illustrated by tho teachings of Tbomas Jrfferson, its fonndor, and exemplified in tho administration of tho Governmt tit under Democratic rule, and wo iu-sist upon an honest and economical adnunistration on 1 10 principle upon which it rests. Conceding to the Federal Governmoul its just rights and full pner as delegated in the Federal oonstitutior, and churning for the

States and the pcopla respectively tho power ' therein reserved to them, we arraign tbe Bopublican parly at the bar of public opinion for its long-continued course of usurpation and niisI rule. It ha diarcgai deil tho rightu of tho poopie and tho States. It lies hold on to its illgotten power in denaaro of the popular will by 1 thecoriupt use of 1 imoy in cle.-tions, aud it i has corrupted the pu Jio morals by elevating to I high places men who aro known to bo dishonest. ' We condemn tho K ublicau party for enacting I and enforcing laws designed to place the I elections under Federal oontrol, in violation of the rights of tho States. Wo condemu it for ' tlie frauds and porjuies of 187(1, by which the ! will of tho people wis sot aside and a usurper j placed hi the Proid .'liliul office for four years, j We condemn it for having kept wt and maintained iu time of pet co au onercu.-; and unjust

system of taxation, by means of which large Bums of money havo accumulated iu tbe treasury which ought to havo been loft in the pockets of tho people; and no condemn it for its wasteful extra vagancn in tbo expenditure of tho public money. We condemn it for its shameless disregard of its pledges in favor of civil-aervice reform, and ilsoorruntn-o of tho publio patrougo under the spoils system. Wo conduiun it for the systematic lory of blackmail upon tho clerks aud uiiuor officeholders of tho United States, in violation f law, to mist- a fuud for corruption of tlie ballot-box, aad wo call especially upon tho voters of Indiana to vindicate tlii'ir honor and to erase the stain that was placed upon thorn by the Doracyites in 1830. We dtnmnd that the present wastefulness and unnecessary expenditure of the publio money shall be stopped and that tho surplus revenue shall be fai.i fully applied to tho payment of the national debt. Wo demand that Federal taxes bo red need to tho lowest point consistent with the wants of tbo Government under an honest and economical administration of its affii'rx, and that such tolls be so adjusted as to sc-ure an equitable distribution ot there burdens. Wo demand that there mall be such reforms in tbe civil service as will again remit in the employment in tho public service of tho.e only who are' honest and capable, and that no assessments or exactions of any kind shall be required of them for political purposes. Wo demand piotcetion to our citizens, native and adopted, at homo and abroad, and we denounce aud condemn tho present Itepublicau administration for its neglect of duty toward those lately imprisoned as tuspoots in tho jails of Ireland by the arhitary action of the British authorities. Ws demand a revision of tho present unjust

; tariff. Ihe constitution of the United Slides I confers upon Congress tho power to establub a . tariff for rerenue, and, as a just acd proper ox- ! erciao of lhat power, wo favor such an udjust- ; mcnt of ifs previsions within the revenue ataud- ! ard as will promote the nidu dries ot the coun- : try ami the interests of labor without creating ; monopolies. Tho Democratic party is now, as it has always ' been, opi osed to all sumptuary legislation, and , it is eewcially oppo cd to the proposed amendmcnt to tho constitution of Indiana known as ; tho Prohibitory amendmout, and we are in favor I of the fcubnvitteion of s iid proposed amendment, 1 as well as all other proposed ainciidnicuts, to the people, according to tho provision or the con1 stitution for its own nmei dmcnt, a:id tho people have tho right to oppose or favor tho adoption : of any or all tho amendment at all stages of I their consideration, and any submission of a 1 constitutional amendment to a rote of tbe peo1 pie should be at a timo and tinder eirrnai- ! stances most favorabie to a full vote, andtherefore should be at a genoral election. That we ftillv indorse and aonroro the laws

passed pursuant to tbe demands of termer Dtnioeratic conventions, matiins provisiouo for tho safctv and protection of laborers and

nuutr, and providing for the collection of I wages, and are in favor of all other enset1 moots JLo that end which may be necessary and . prooor. I The frr 0 chools of Indiana re the pride and i glory of the Stuto, and we nil) sod to it that they are not poisoned by the breath of soctananism or destroyed by waste or extravagance hi their uiinaKOmont. In the relations between capital and labor we favor snoh policies as will promote harmony between them, and will adequately protect the righte and interests of lbor. ! We esteem Ihe Hon. D. W. Voorheos as an able and faithful representative of oar State in

tlio senate, and specially eommond mm tor Ma active svmpnthy iu i.-uhalf of tbe soldiers. ILLINOIS ailERSDACKEHS. The Greenback State Convention of Illinois was held at Peoria on the 3d inst.

The report was unsniniimsly adopted. Jalm Overmeyer, Chairman of the Committee on (tes Juti.iu , then road the following platform and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted. The Republican party of Indiana, ropretcuted in delegate convention, ri calls as an incentive to future exertions for the publio welfare the achievements of the party iu restoring the national Union ; in overthrowing slavery ; in socuring to disabled soldiers and to tbe widows and orphans of tlioio who fell iu buttle o died from wounds or diseases contracted in the service of tho H'linu, laws providing for liberal bounties and pensions ; in building up an unexampled publio credit upon the simple foundation of an unchangeable public faith"; in reducing the great debt necessarily incurred far the suppression of the rebellion one-half, anl the interest on the remainder to so low it rate that ho unticnal debt is no longor regarded as a burden ; in establishing a ouirenoy equal to any in the world, based upon tho convertibility of greenbacks and national -bank no en into gold or silver at tho option of tbe hoi lers? in increasing tbo value of agricultural productions and the wages of lab r by building up home markets on the policy of reasonable protection to dome-tic industries; in exalting the value of our natural zatiou laws to our for igu-born citizens by securing to American naturalization everywhere the full rights of American citizenship; in founding American citi.enship upon mrnboad and not upon complexion, and iu declaring that citizenship and tbe ballot sbal! ever go hand in hand; in maintaining and oho. ishiug as a chief safeguard of liberty our system of free schools, supported by a tax imposed upon all property for the education of all children, and in the submission from time to timo iu respectful obedionce to what has been deemed the popular will of amendments to tho national constitution and the constitution of tho State. Animated by those rcciiilections, it is l!esolvel, That, reporing trust In the peoplo, as the loundation of power, wo demand that the pending amendments to the constitution shall be agreed to and submitted by the next Legislature to the rotors of the State for then- decision thereon. These amendments wore not partisan in their origin and are not so iu character, and should not be made so in voting upon them. Recognizing the fact Unit the people tiro divided in sentiment in regard to tho propriety of their adoption or rejection, and ohorulimg tho right of private judgment, we favor the submission of those amendments at a special election, sothat thore may be an intelligent decision thereon, uninfluenced by partisan issues. 2. That wo feel it duo to the memory of President Garfield to express our sense of the gr?at loss suffered by tbe nation in his death, and we recall with pride the fact that, springing from the humblest condition in life, Lincoln and Garfield rose, stop by step, without any help but tbe force of their ability and virtues, to the front rank among Americans, aud were chosen by tho Republican party to bear its banner in its struggles to maintain the supremacy and glory of the national Union. 3. That the lapse of time cannot efface from tbe grateful recollection of tho Republican parly its memory of tho bravo soldiers, from whatever section or party ranks thoy may have come, who offered their lives in support of its pohov of restoring and maintaining tho Union of the States, i. That a revenne greatly reduced hi amount being all that Is uow needed to pay the interest on our public debt and the expenses of the Government economically administered, the time has arrived for such a redaction of tsxos and regulation of tbe tariff dneii as shall raise no more money than shall bo necessary to pay Bach interest and expenses, and we therefore appi ove of efforts now making to adjutt thi reduction so that no unnecessary burdens upon tbe consumers of imported articles may exist, and that no injury bo inflicted upon our domestic industries, or upon the industrial' classes employed therein. I. That wo are gratified to observe that tho laws for the protection of minere and securing their wages, under tbe constant administration of them by Republican Mine In pootors, have done much for the comfort of tne workers 111 mines, and that we hope to see tbo important suggestions of the present luspector for amendments further to promote their comfort adopted by tho next Legislature. 6. That tho relations between capital and labor should be so adjusted that the rights of laborers shall be lully protected. 7. That tho foes of all State and county oftlcers should be so regulated as to give a fair compensation to them, but not so great as to tempt applicants to corrupt metiiods to obtain tho sumo, or to impose unjust burdens upon the people, 8. That wo join with our Irish fellow-citizens iu sincere sympathy with tho efforts of their brethren in Ireland to breakup, by moans of just legislation, the largo landed estates in that itilaud, and to introduce upon these lands for the general good of the people, peasant proprietorship; and we join Ajtli thoai also in the hope that efforts for homo-rule in all matters of local concern will provo successful. 0. That it is the duty of Congress to adopt laws to secure a thorouglt, radical and complete reform of tho civil sorvlce, by whioh tbe subordinate positions of the G irerumont should no longer be considered rewards for party zoal, which will abolish the evils ot natronsco and establish a system making honesty, emoioncy and fidelity the essential qualifications for public positions. 10. That tho industry, wisdom and firmness of President Chester A. Arthur nioet the cordial indorsement of tbo Republicans of Xndiaua. II. That Senator Benjamin Hal risoo, by his able and faitlnul discharge of duty aud on account of hia eminent abilities., challenges our admirafcqu mX condeuije,

13, That Gov. Albert. G. Porter is a wiso and honest executive ofHco:.-, and wo congratulate tho State upon securing the services of so faithful a public servant. 13. Since tbo last meeting of the Republican Convention of Indiana, ex-Senator Henry 8. Latio, ono of tbo gif'od and 1 ver-h morod founders and trusted loaders of the Ropuhhcan party, has departed thin iiio, and left a void iu onr rank that tills us with eadiuss. Ho was eloquent for tho rghl, always moved by the highest impulses of patriotism, and his momcry is eu-nmied in tho hearts of tiie people of the State. After the adoption ff the resolutions tho presi nt State officers ivorc unanimously nominated a?, follows : Secri'tarvof State B. R. Hai.ii. Auditor of State-K. IL Wolf. Troi'Snrcr of Htate i:. J.

I outrunning nis ounmug, wont to work, 1 day and night, with this roast, of returned : telegrams at tho New York office, and I picked out every, telegram sent during j tho campaign by' any man of political ! eminence from or to the politicians of i either of these four contest I States. He I hadn't time for sorting, so he gathered I all .the telegrams, cipher or otherwise,

of the men of both parties, and stored them away in a half dozen capacious and well-locked trunks. It will be' remembered that during that Congress the Domcc ratio House had an investigating committee smelling

I about for whatevor might bo thought of

service to the claims of Mr. Tilden, of which the late Olarkson N. Potter was

j Chairman as honorable a gentleman as 1 that party has had in Congress for I the last quarter of a centtuy and 't was 1 a committee well watched bv the Be- ' publican Senate Committee on Privileges j and Elections, wtth that moat vigilant : of Republicans, tho late Oliver P. Mor- ' ton, at its head. .When the Democratic 1 official of the telegraph company had his 1 telegrams, whioh were to shock the 1 country and blow the Republicans en- ' tirely out of water, safely trunked and locked, he came on to Washington, and at b nrr ied ly-called meeting of the Democratio members of the Potter Com- , niittee divulged his terriSo scheme, ; Then was the Democratic heart glad, : And a f ubpeeua duces tecum under the 1 broad teal of the House and the sign I manual of its Speaker was at once i placed in the hands of its Sergeant at- ' Arms, ordering aU the officers, Presi- ' dents, Superintendents and Directors at : both the Western Union and Atlantic ! and Pacitto Telegraph Companies to ap1 pear before tlie Potter Committee, : bringing with them all the ttvegrams that for six months hud pusised back and forth between these politicians, naming some forty or fifty ot tho more active 1 men of the time, and covering all that , were in the trunks. ! So good a thing could not be kept ' Just one hint had to hi' made to a ; friend "in confidence" which soon ' reached the ear of William E. Chandler,. who wan considerably "about" in those I days, aud through him was communicated to the vigilant Chairman of the ! Senate committee. In five minutes that ; committee was iu session, and voted to . do the very thiog that had been ordered by the House committco. It was now a contest for possession of the telegrams. ! The House hud taken its action about 9 o'oek in the morning. It was after 3 ! p. nt, when the long summons, covering j two or three sheets of foolscap paper, reached the office of the Sergeant-at-Arms oj the ftenate. John R. French ' was then filling that position. Taking l in thesitttation. heaoonhod half a dozen ; of the readiest writers ot the Senate 1 force making copies of the subpoenas, a j couple of trustworthy deputies awaiting I orders, find a quick telegraph operator i with a wire for New York and enjoined. ' upon all dispatch and absolute silence.

Before the lamps were lighted that night the long summons had been telegraphed to every one of the more than twenty telegraph officials, and before the sun Bet the next day, to make all scire, peradventure any legal cavil, personal service had been mode iu every inafcance at the homes or places of buinness of these men, wherever they lived, in tho State of New York or in Now England; and the morning thereafter, on. the arrival of the train from tho North, came these men with their trunks of telegrams, and reported to the Sergennt-at-Arms of the Senate that they waited the further orders of that body at Willard'a EtoteL That morning about II o'clock, fla he was wonc, the rotund Serjeant-at-Arms of tho House, perhaps thi nking over the many fields he had won and lost in "the Buckeye Stato. all the splendor,! of whioh wore to be eclipsed by the trap which he was now about to spring, was leisurely taking his comfortable breakfast at that same Willard's Hotel, when a fellow-lioarder acros tbo table esked : "Why nre all the telegraph men in town?" lidding that he had just left a dozon of them in one of t;he parlorr. upstairs. "Glad to hear it," replied the Democratic official, "for the presence til these men ia Washington saves ma tha trip' of a deputy to New York," and he went on with hm morning meal. Later he hunted up the telegraph men in their parlor, and after a general introduction and a quiet discussion ot the topics of the day he unrolled his ponderous summons and procoe led to rend the same to tbe body collectively. Upon bis conclusion Dr. Gr.jen. President of the Western Union Company, remarked that they were law-abiding mon and would assuredly respond to the summons of the House as soon as they and tha papers called for wero released by tha Senate; that they worn in Washington with their trunks of telegrama in obedteuoe to a writ from ",hat body, and when it was through with them they would immediately report to the House.

The senate was not through - with thoso teletrrams until about five minutes before tho final adjournment of both houses tliough .luring the meantime somebody weit through, them and brought to light the cipher dispato tee, an exposure whioh laid the foundation " greiit deal of wholesale politioal 1 on the part of the American a sitioe. Several "leisons" may .thered from these facts by the htful politisiiMi; nod it may Vi so pat theoi on record as a pn,-t of ntory of all interesting time.
