THE PLATFORM.

The democracy of the state of In diana assembled in delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, and in lieu thereof, there shall be issued by the government an equal amount of treasury notes with full legal tender quality. That we are in favor of making the United States notos, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except such obligations only as are by the terms of the original contracts under which they were issued, expressly payable in coin. That the right to issue paper money as well as coin is the exclusive prerogative of ihe government, and such money should be issued in such amounts as the sound business interests of the country may from time to time require. We are in favor or such legislation by congress as will authorize the taxation by the states of the United States notes in common with all other money. That we deem it unwise and inexpedient to enact any further legislation for the funding of the national debt abroad, through the means of home syndicates, or other methods; and we believe the true policy of the government and the best interests of the people would be subserved by legislating so as to distribute said debt among our people at home —affording them the most favorable and practical opportunities for the investment of-tlieir savings in the funded debt of the United Spates. That we are in favor of such legislation which shall fix the legal rate of interest at not exceeding six per centum per annum. We demand the restoration of the silver dollar, of 4121 grains, to the coin of the country, and with full legal tender quality in the payment of all debts, both public and private; and that the coinage thereof shall be un limited, and upon the same terms and conditions as may be arovided for the coinage of gold. That we are in favor of the immediate and unconditional repeal of the resumption act. We are in favor of the most rigid economy in public expenditures, and we declare that the fees and salaries of all nublic officers should be reduced. That we are in favor of the repeal of the bankrupt act. That we'sincerely deplore the recent violent collision between labor and capital, and to prevent the recurrence thereof and to protect the future public order und security we believe that the wages of corporations engaged in the business of mining, manufacturing and transportation should be a first lien upon the property, receipts and earnings of said corporations, and that such lien sho’d be declared, defined and enforced by uppropi at • legislation. That we favor the passage of a law for the ventilation of coal mines—one that would be just to the miner and owner. The democratic party is the friend of the eommon school system, and will in every’ legitima e way labor for its success, and will oppose any attempt to divert any portion of the common school fund to any sectarian purpose. That the last apportionment of the state for legislative rurposes was grossly unjust and dishonorable, snd we demand that the next legislature, in.apportioning the state for legiala' live purposes, as will be their imperative duty, shall have regard alone to population and contiguity of territory.

that the jurisdiction claimed and exercised by the circuit courts of the United States over questions of corporate and individual rights arising under the laws of the states tends to oppress and burden litigants to such an extent as to amount to a practical denial of justice in many cases; and we consider the legislation which has conferred such jurisdiction as unwise and hurtful to the true Interests of che people. And we demand such legislation as will restrict and limit the jurisdiction of such courts to such matters as are clearly eontemplat d by the constitution and expressed in the judiciary act of 1789. We are opposed to class legislation, and protest against the grant of subsidies by the federal government, either in lands, bonds, money or by the pledge of the public credit. That we abhor and hold up to public detestation the leaders in the republican party who secretly connived, and with barefaeed effrontery, carried out the scheme, by and through venal returning boards, whereby Samuel J. Tilderi and Thomas A. Hendricks, the people’s choice for president and vice president, were wrongfully kept out of the positions to which a free people had called them. We hold it up as the monster crime of the age, a crime against free government a crime against the elective franchise, and a crime that can only be condoned when the malefactors who seated a fraud in the presidential chair are driven from power and consigned to everlasting infamy by the people whom they have outraged. And we denounce the act of the president of the United States in appointing to high and lucrative positions the corrupt members of the returning boards, and condemn the acts or federal officers in attempting to interfere with the rights and powers of the state courts in the prosecution of these criminals. That our senators and representatives in congress be and are hereby J oqu 2 B !. ecl to Becura the passage of a iaw giving to the soldiers of the Mexican war a pension similar to that now given to the soldiers of the war of 1819.

Findings and Qrdens in Relation to the Collection of Railroad Tex.

It was sh->wu to the Court by sworn testimony of a competent witness, that the Indianapolis, Delphi A. Chicago Bailroad Company has permanently located its said Bailroad in Marion township, Jasper county, Ind ana, and has expended in the actual construction thereof in said township, the sum of twenty-four thousand dollars. That said last named sum exceeds the sum appropriated to aid in the construction of said Railroad. The Board finds that the law has been complied with by said Bailroad Company, and the Court further finds that the tax of one per centum, levied by thu Board at the regular June session in year 1875, upon the taxable property of said Marion township, also a tax of one per centum, levied by this Board at the regular June session in the year 1877, of this Board upon the taxable property of said Marion township, is now due under the law and ought to be colleeted by the Treasurer of said county. The Board fuither finds that both of the foregoing levies were made to aid in the construction of said liailroad, under proceedings duly had for that purpose.

It is therefore ordered by the Board that the Treasurer of said Jasper county proceed to collect said taxes levied as aforesaid in the same manner as other taxes are collected under the law, and such Treasurer is hereby ordered and directed to proceed to collect said tax in accordance with the foregoing order. pit is further ordered by the Board :hut the Treasurer of said county shall give to each tax-payer when he df" she pay*' said Bailroad tax, a receipt.as provided for under the provisions of an act of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, approved December 17th, 1872, to the end that the holder or holders of such receipts may surrender the same to said Railroad Company iu sums equal to any number of shares of the capital stock of said Railroad Company and receive therefor a certificate of full paid capital stock of said Company to the amount of receipts Jso suirendered. It is furthei ordered by the Board thnt in case any part of the stock hereby subscribed for in said Railroad shall not be demanded within four years from the date of the payment of said Railroad tax by any tax-pay< r nnder the provisions of said act of the General Assembly aforesaid, then, an J in that case, the Auditor of sat-4-County of Jasper shall cause said Railload Company to Issue to said Marion township a certificate of the full paid capital stock of said Railroad Company for such amount of such stock as shall not have been demanded by the tax-payers aforesaid to be held by said township for the use and benefit of the school fund of said township. All to be done and performed under and iu accordance with the provisions of said act of the General Assembly aforesaid. The Auditor is hereby directed to make a certified copy of the foregoing order and give the same to said County Treasurer for his guidance.

JNO. E. ALTER.

Hon. Samuel Miller, of Winonu, Minnesota, is visiting his brother John Miller, of this place, who has been quite tow with the bronchetis for the 1 ist few weeks. The doctor, who was formerly a resident of this county, is a staunch democrat yet, and his record in the Minnesota legislature, which has just closed, would justify the people of his district in sending him to represent thorn again. Dan. B. Miller mourneth and refuseth to be comforted. HesaysHoraee never alluded to his boots. We congratulate Mr. S. Bass on the probable acquisition of a new daugh-ter-in-law.

Singular Election Contest.

Per Laps one of the most singular political contests that ever occurred came off in Butler, Pa, at the recent spring election, between “Uncle” Jake Ziegler and ex-Burgess Keck. Both had been nominated for the office of burgess but neither wanted to serve. Each therefore determined to defeat himself and elect his opponent. Un ele Jake t irned out his entire office force and instructed every man to “vote for Mr. Keck and then go to work for him like blazes!” Bel eving in the old saying, that if a man wants his work well done he must do it himself, “Uncle” Jake banged his hat on his head and went into his ward and worked like a Troj in for his opponent. On the other hand, Mr. Keck got out his family and Lis hired man, and told his friends and all hands in his ward to cast every vote for Uncle Jake, and he put in the whole day in working as he never worked at the polls before. The result was both men were beaten by a “handsome majority” in their respective wards, but “Uncle Jake” failed to get his work in as well as Mr. Keck, for he was elected by three votes. He says it’s the worst beat hs ever got in his life—in fact is a d—d shame he can’t have things his way once in a while.

Married in Fun-Repenting at Leisure.

Philadelphia (Pa.) Times: One of those smart young women who marry just for fun has got herself into troii ble, at Franklin, in this State. She has also got herself in j„il. Miss Carrie Smith, last October, married Mr. Joseph Stock just in fun. and fine sport it was, no doubt. Last week, however, Miss Carrie married Mr. Philip Loveridge, of Pittsburgh, in downright earnest, and they hail but fairly started on their bridal tour when Stock turned up and tad the lady arrested on a charge of bigamy, and her new husband was taken into custody for his unlawful treatment of the seventh commandment. By this time the lady, who is only 18, is fully convinced that getting married for tod is not such a humorous thing as it is cracked up to be.
