The Democratic State Convention met at Indianapols last Wednesday. Every county was represented, Hon D Yoorhees presided awl the utmost enthusiasm and harmony prevailed. The following excellent ticket was placed in noadnation: Lieutenant Governor —John C. Nelson,-of Cass county. Judge of Supreme Court—John Ru Golfroth, of Tippecanoe county. Secretary of State—R. AY. Miers* of Monroe county. Auditor of State —Charles A. Hanson, of Allen county. Treasurer of State—Thomas B. Byrne, of Yanderburg county. CSerk of Supreme Court—Marti a Kreuger, of LaPorte county. AJfcorney General—Hugh D. McMullen, of Dearborn county. Superintendent of Public Instruction —John Sweeney, of Dubois county. "THE PLATFORM. Congressman Cobb, chairman of the committee on platform, read the following: Resolved, That the Democracy of Indiana in convention assembled cordially approve of the administration of President Cleveland for its ability, integrity,and economy in the management of national affairs, and recognize in the president and members or his cabinet faithful and patriotic public servants. Resol ed, That the Democrats of sincerely lament the lo go’ their honored and trusted leader, |the late Thomas A. Hendricks. By his wise counsel and sup9rb leadership the Democracy of Indiana gained and enjoyed an enviable reputation for honor and vns Ifish devotion to the principles of just government. The memory of our late beloved leader can not better be perpetuated than by • steadfast observance of his contiK&fcory counsel and patriotic teachings, to the end that the efforts oi all true Democratic citim « may be directed to the f aithfni application of those grand and euaobling principles that conduce

to the welfare and happiness of a liberty-loving people. We also profoundly deplore that during a brief period of time the nation, and partieularly the Democratic paity, has suffered the loss of four other eminent citizens in the persons of the gallant leader, George B. McClellan; the pure and wise statesman, Horatio Seymour; the superb hero, Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock, and more recently the demise of that deserving statesman, sagacious counselor, profound political philosopher, Samuel J. Tilden. The career of these illustrious men may well serve as examples for those upon whom shall devolve the responsibilities of leadership.

Resolved, That taxation of the people for other purposes than raising revenue for the expenses of the government economical iv administered, is robbery under the forms of law. We are, therefore, in favor of a reduction of the present unjust tariff to a revenue basis, and we hereby reaffirm the principles laid down in the Chic;: go piaform on that subject, and heartily indorse the action of th.. democratic representatives in congress from this state for their fidelity to the cause of tariff reform. Resolved, That the action of the Democratic House of Representatives of the forty-eighth and for-ty-ninth C-digresses in declaring forfeited and reclaiming from railroad corporations about one hundred millions of acres of land is hereby heartily indorsed and approved.

Resolved, That the ownership of real estate in this country by persons not cit zens of the United States is injurious to true American interests, and may be attended with many evil consequences. We therefore heartily approve the act of the last general assembly in prohibiting the ownership of real estate in Indiana by aliens, and thereby repealing the act allowing aliens to hold and convey real estate, passed by a republican legislature, and approved by a republican governor. And we specially approve of such legislation by Congress as shall effectively protect the public lauds from such aliens’ entry and ownership so that the same may, as far as possible, be reserved for our citizens.

Resolved, That we favor a financial policy in which gold and silver and paper money readily convertible into coin, including the volume of United States notes now provide 1 for by law, shall be the circulating medium. AVe insist the surplus in the national treasury shall be promptly applied to the payment of the national public debt, and that taxation shall be reduced to the end that large accumulations in the treasury beyond the proper necessities of the public service shall not occur, thus assurihg honest, economical government and relieving the people from unnecessary and oppressive taxation. Resolved, That the state government of Indiana, in all of|its departments, has been c aracterized by prudence, economy and wisdom, and cordially indorse the same. It is due to the memory of the brave men of Indiana who gave their lives for the preservation of the government that a suitable monument should be erected at the capital of the state, and for that purpose we ask of the next general assembly of the state a liberal appropriation.

Resolved, That we are in favor of such revision of the law as will bring about a just and equitable valuation of the state in order that no county shall pay more than its just proportion of the state’s taxes. Resolved, That we approve the joint resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution making the term of county offices four years. i.esolved, That the Democratic party is interested in the cause of liberty wherever and whenever it is being waged, and especially do we feel a profouu sympathy with Ireland and her friends in her struggles for home rule, and we confidently predict that the contest, which has but fairly begun, will find no abatement in its strength, but will continue to grow until she achieves that position and power to which she is entitled as a brave and g Q nerous people. Resolved, further, That we demand the abrogation of ull laws which do not bear equally upon capital and labor; the passage of stringent laws to promote the Health and enhance the safety of employes of railways, manufactu ing establishments and mining

operations, and to compel the employers to make prompt payment of wages-to thofte in their employ: the enactment of laws prohibiting the hiring out of convict labor in competition with the honest laborers of the co ;ntry; prohibiting tbe employment of children under fourteen years of age in tbe mines an factories of the state, and finally, that the importation of foreign laborers under contract be forever prohibited by stringent penal statutes. And we specially commend and approve the action of the last general assembly in prohibiting the importation of foreigners and aliens under contract to perform labor within

the state of Indiana. We demand such further legislation by congress as may be necessary to prevent such importation of foreign lal mrers i to this country, and we declare ourselves in favor of the strictest enforcement of tbe acts prohibiting Chinese immigration both of these systems being, in our judgment, hostile to and destructive of the best inserests of the American laborer and mechanic. Resolved, That in the enactment of all laws a strict regard should be had for the lights of the laboring masses; that taxation should be restri ted to the lowest amount i required by an economical administrations of public affairs; that wage-workers should be protected by legislation from the oppressive P->we. of monopolies and grasping corporations, and that all laws not in harmony with the foregoing purposes should be repealed. Resolved, That we cordially approve the recent legislation of congress giving increased pensions to tiie widows and dependent parents of a deceased soldier anti to soldiers who were disabled in the Union army, and we cordiall approve all measures of legislation in behalf, of the soldiers of the Union army who suffered in the defense of their country and of their widows and orphans.
