THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The deoiocracy of the state of Indiana assembled in delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired, An 1 in lieu thereof, there shall be issued by the government unequal amount of treasnry notes withfulllegal tender quality. That we are in favor of making the United States notes, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender inpayment of all debts, public and private, except such Obligations only as are by the terms of the original contracts under which they were issued, exoressiy payable in coin. That the right to issue paper money as well as coin is the exclusive prerogative of the 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 authorise 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 tine policy of the government and the best interest of the people would be subserved by legislation so as to distribute said debt among our people at home—affording them the most favorable and practical opportunities for the investment of their savings in the funded debt of the United States. That we are in favor of such legislation as shall fix the legal rate of interest at not exceeding six per centum per annum. We demand the restoration of the silver dollar, of 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 unlimited, and upon the same terms and conditions as may be provided for the coinage of gold. That we are in favor of the immedi-* ate 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 public officers should be reduced. That wo 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 futuie public order and 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 anV. enforced by appropriate legislation, That we favor the passage of a law for the ventilation of coal mines—one that would be just to ti e miner and owner. The democratic party is the friend of the eoinmon school system, and will in every legitimate way labor for its success, and will oppose tiny attempt to divert any portion of the common school fund to any sectarian purpose. That the last.apportionment of the state for legislative purposes was grossly unjust and dishonorable, snd we demand that the next legislature, in apportioning the stato for legislative purposes, its will be their imperative duty, shall have regard alone to pnpnLition nnJ contiguity of torritoI'Y. 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 the people. And we demand such legislation as will restrict and limit the jurisdiction of such courts to such matters as are clearly contemplated by the constitution and expressed in the judiciary act of 178 U. We are opposed to class legislation, and protest against the grant of sub- \ sidics by the federal government, either in binds, 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 barefaced effrontery, carried out the scheme, by and through venal returning boards, whereby Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks, the people’s choice for president and vice president, were wrongfully kept out of the positions to which a free peo pie 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 bo condoned when the malefactors who seated a fraud in the presidential chair are driven front 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 ot federal officers in attempting to interfere with the lights and powers of the state courts in the prosecution of these criminals.

_ That our senators and representatives in congress be and are hereby requested to secure the passage of u law giving to the soldiers of the Mexican war a pension similar to that new given to the soldiers of the war of 1812.

National State Platform.

The National Greenback Labor Party of Indiana in convention assembled, declare: 1. V\ e declare our fealty to the American monetary Bvstem—the abolition of all bank is-ucs! tne the Issuing h^'.h 0 ? CO, " agt ‘ of « ,,Id a '»l Giver, and the issuing by the government Of full legal-tender paper money receivable for ail dues aud pavabie tor debts, public amt private, in amount sullicient to meet-the wants of trade, to-ive emnlovme r to all labor, and to enable the people to do a cash business, and to relieve them from the debt sys tern which has made mo industrial and commercial classes the slaves aud drudges of the creditmongers of the world. creau g. We declare our opposilion to everv measure looking to the resumption of specie payments, the monarchical system of finance which puts all the interests ol industry, trade and-commerce in the hands of the few, aud enforces a monopolv of societ 1 rUCtIV ° thC highl,!,t material godd of 3. We proclaim our uncompomising hostilitv to the perpetuation ol the system of govermeat bonded indebtedness which is intended tohindunborn generations in chains, and we declare that the government should use all the funds now hoarded lor resump,ion purposes to pav and ctuice! ou i. »tr.ndt;i 3 bond- aud that it should maUacw and

•liberal issues of money to be applied to the same purposa; and that the issue ot future interestbearing bonds should be prohibited by constitutional amendment 4. We demand that all legislation should be so enacted and so administered as to secure to each man, as nearly as practicable, the just reward of his own labor; and we deuouuce ail lawlessness, violence and fruud that refuses submission to the will of the people honestly expressed through the ballot. 5. We denounce the red flag communism Imported from Europe, which asks for an eqnai division of property, and we denounce the communism of the national banks, of the bond syndicates, and of the- consolidated railroad corporations, which have secured and are enforcing an unequal division of property, having alrcuc.y divided among themselves ten thousand million.- of tne pioperiy oi’ the people by corrupting the representatives and servants of the people. The oue system of communism ignores the inequalities ot capacity which have been planted by nature in the human family, and both systems are destructive of the rewards of toil and of the incentive to industry and exertion. 6. We declare that until the American monetary system, which will result in the practical extinction of debt and usury is established me Siaushould by aii the powers that it can exert, limit and reduce the rate of interest so that it snail in no event exceed the average increase of wealth by productive industry. 7. We favor simple, plain and economical government, as few laws as possible, and they rigidly enforced—as few officials as practicable, and, -they held to a close accountability. To this end we demand the abolition of all useless offices, and the overthrow of the system by whichoiLecs are made to yield almost princely fortunes. It is the first’ duty ot the next general assembly of Indiana to secure such legislation as shall make it impossible lor any local or State official to receive more than adequate pay lor his services; and when practicable the compensation should be fixed by a specific salary. 8. We denounce the conspiracy of the Democratic and Republican leaders of Indiana to build a costly and magnificent state house, which, as experience has proved in ail similar cases, wonld result in the general plundering of the people.— We denounce the action of the governor in calling a special session of the legislature for the purpose of fostering this scheme. We denounce the indecent haste with which the state house commissioners are proceeding to let a contract to bind the people ol the state, und we demand that no contract shall be let until the voters of the state have had an opportunity to express their will upon the subject through the legislature to be chosen in October next. 9. We protest against the weak and ineffective election laws of Indiana, and we ask that the next legislature shall enact statuies which shall secure lair elections in the state, ami which shall provide severe and adequate punishment for fraudulent voters, aud for those who bribe voters or procure fraudulent votes. 10. We denounce the criminal and unfair apportionment of the legislative aud congressional districts of the state in the interest of the Republican party, and the equally unjust apportionments made in the past by the Democratic party, and we pledge our members of the legislature to vote for a fair and equitable apportionment which shall secure a full and untrammeled expression of the sentiments of the people. 11. The State shall enact laws which will abrogate the abuses and protect the interests of men who work in mines, by providing for the proper ventilation of the mines; aud the earnings of all employees of corporations should be a tirsi lien upon the property of said corporations. 12. II it was wise and needful in 1807, when money was plenty and the country prosperous to enact a bankrupt law, it is certainly humane now to amend such law so to prevent trauds and to continue in force this last escape of the oppressed debtor Ironi the extortions of the money pviwcr And we favor the exemption ol’ not less than SI,OOO worth oi property to the householder from forced salt; on execution. 13. The constitution should be so amended that the President, Vice-Bresident and Senators ol the L nited Slates shall be elected bv direct vote of the people. 11. We are unalterably opposed to adding to the burthens of the people by an increase of the standing army, believing with Washington that -‘overgrown military establishments under any form of government are inauspicious to liberty." and particularly hostile to republican liberty."" 15. Y\ e mdoi se aud reaffirm the piatform of principles acopted at Toledo, February 22,1878, and we congratulate the country upon the union of Unpolitical interests subserving the useful ranks of society, in one party which shall advance, this decree to a higher and better civilization and this oldest gospel, that there shall be work for all and that all shall work.

A remarkable story in relation ;o the murder of the late Earl of Leitrim is now in circulation. The Earl, it, is asserted, was killed by the relatives of a woman whom he had se-ducid. They went from England to Ireland for the purpose, and two of t le thr e men who committed tho deed are said to have escaped to this country. Our readers will remember the account of how, a few weeks ago, the murder was imputed to revenge for what Was alleged tiie cruel eviction of his tenants. Most people still believe ;his theory to be correct.
