We, the Democracy of Indiana.in delegate Convention assembled, congratulate the Democracy of the country upon the harmony prevailing within its organization,and upon its unanimity in its purpose to cast benind it every occasion and sentiment and discord and stand us & muan for success in 1880; and we give assurance to the Demoecra's of the country that, accep:ing the declara.ion of principles and purposes that may be made at Cincinnati and ‘the ca:nddates who may there be chusen, we will give to themi an earnest and individual support. © | % o 2. We'believe that laws should be enacted, executed and administered onty for the public g00d,.-ana all class legisiation and all favoritism in the affairs ¢f Government sh: uld be defeated and made odious; tnat taxes should be levied justly, and the most rigid economy should control public expeaditures; that.the elections must be 'free trom the control of army uand partisan oftficials, so that they shall be fair and honest s 8 they once were; that the rightful jurisdiction of the State Courts must be restored in all cases where it has been usurped by the Federal authority, so that justice may be administered cheaply and gpeedily. : 3. The coin and paper money of the country - should be of uniform value and readily convertible,and should have as great purchasing power as the money of other first-class commercial countries of the world, and thé paper money, like the coin, shoild be furnished by the United States, and should not be in excess of such quantity as will always remain at par with coin. Inasmuch as the outstanding Treasury notes are no lenger necessury to the Government in the use of its credit, and are useful only as money. they should be made suoject totaxation the same as other money. As taxpayers we declare our gratification at the actisn of the Democratic meémbers of Congress in reducing public” expenditures and in cutting ol the wllowance and payment of questionable and- fraudulent claims, lesulting in asaving to the I'reasury of more than $lOO,~ QU ÜBY . o e b

h, Wewill stand with all our might aga nst the aggression of the Republican leadeis upon the rights ot States, made for ihe pu: pose of building vp a stroag central power, dangerous to theiibe.t of the people. We wiil in all fideliy mziatain the Consutuii nul rights and powers of tge United States, and as faitniully we w Il maintain and vindicate the rights ot States us reserved by them in the Cons.itution. % .

6. Lhe Legislature of 1879 is entitled to honorable mention for hav.ng redecmed the picdzes of the pemocratic Convenuon of 1576, to provide by law for the comtort and satety of luborers in the miunes, and securing tneir wages to the persons employed. by corporaticns, and we aie in tavor of suc¢h legisiation in the prewmises as may be necessary ani proper. We coongratuiate the:people of the dture that by the action of the vemocrats of the last Legisiature, basingrepresentation on, population and coniigaity ot terricory only the shame and taint of tfraud h ve been remoyed trom the apportionment of representa, tion and that now t.e people will be equally and fairly represen.ed. L .. Tue people of Indiana are justly proud of their system of free schools, and: wiil maintain thuir [full force and usetulness, and to that end, we must see to it that the munagement thereof does not become was eful or extravagant, and that no part of the munificent fund which they have provided shall be u ed for sectarian or tor any other purpose whateyer than the support of comman scnools. & We are grattied that the Deinocrats in Congress huve acted inrespe:tto bo nties and peunsions for soldicrs and itneir tamil.es in the spirit of justice and lLiberality. 4. We bola up to pubiic detestation the conduct of the Repubucan party in placing Hayes and Wheeler, by cruninal practices shocking to every honest sentiment and damaging to our instituiions, in the onices to which they wére not elected. 1t was an outrageupon tree government and a ciime against the clective franchise that can not be forgiven and must not be repeated, and for wh:ch the guilty pa ty must be driven from power and consigned to infamy; and we hold up to the public deiestation the conduct of the President in rewarding the guilty parties by conferring upon them high and lucrative offices. To-reward crime is itselt criminal. & | ;

10. During the past few years our country has been blessed in a high degree with favoralle seasons, and the p:o u.tion of our valuab e staples hus be ':n enormously in excess 'of our own consum ton. We haie sold to {foiei: n cound:ies many uundi ed millions more than we h.uve puicha-¢d from them. Go.d and - silver have come to us; business contdence has been rcgtored, and we have the bope and promise of ood times again. In 1l thi- were- gn ze ti e llessings ot God ujon ourcountiy; und we denounce it as faise and blasphemous, when partisan leaders clauim thut this is the wo k of treir hands, and that the people shall be thankful to them, and not g a eivl o Heaven for our returning proserity. > il SWe approve the sentiment expressed by.; Governor Hendricks in his let er ov acceptance 1n 1 96, that the ini «uitous ¢o lie system, whieh, through the agency o: weaithy coiipanies, imports Chinese boudsmen, estabiishing a species of glavery and interfering with the just rewa d ot labtor on our Pucific coast, should be utter.y atolished. s 12. Our Staie administration is entitled to the respect and support of tne peop e. The Go ernment 0. Ind.ana is efliciently a'iministercd, and more cheaply than that of any other State. : A

18. Tha’ we recognize the rights of colored citi- ns as weli'as whites, who iinnigrate into Indiana; but we o.demn and aeno e the action 0 the Republi an parcy in import ng into this State , asuper negroes tor the sole pu pose of using them as voters. 14. W hereby instruct our delegates in the National Convention -at Cincinnat to present to thatbodyv the n une of Thomus A. Hendricks as i candidate for President of the Un ted States—one who has at all times faithfully maintained the cause of Demaocritictruth and justice acceptably to the Democracy -of the whie Union, thus assuring the election of a Dewmocratic Legislature and a United States Senator in 1851 and a just, pu e and Constitutional administration of the General Government. ) i

THE result of the experiments with heavy guns and test targets at Spezzia in the autumn of 1876 has been the production of compound armor-plates for ships of war. These plates consist of steel having an iron backing. Liguid steel -is poured on the heated iron Flates’. and the latter becoming. partialy fused, a most intimate weld is effected, the steel running into the fibrous iron and the iron inko the steel. All the new iron-clads are to be protected with this description of plate. i . Tt THE moment a ma.z, is satisfied with himself, everybody else is dissatistied with him. Lo s

A Drug-Store Conversation,

~ An old lady of Louisville kept it up in this stgle for half an hour ‘at a druggist's and with the following result: Old Lady—How much is this bottle? - Druggist—One dollarand thirty céents, ma’'am, if you take but one, or sl2a dozen. - v "0. L.—How did you say I must keep it? Lo i D.—You, must keep iton its side ma’am, until you want to use it. A - 0. L.—Yes. Well, my daughter told me to get this particular preparation. It's the right kind isn’t it?- = = D.—O, yes, ma’am. We only keep that brand. ; o el O. L.—How much did you say it was? D.—One dollar and thirty cents a single bottle; but if you take a dozen— O.

Lip Language.

- There was an - interesting exhibition lately in London of the new way of teaching the deaf and dumb to speak and to; understand by the'motion of the lips. - There is a school for this purpose, in London, of sixty pupils, founded chiefly through the benevolent exertions of the Baroness - Mayer de Rothschild. The school assembled at Grosvenor House, the abode of the Duke of Westminster, now the richest nobleman in England, and a numerous body of guests were invited to -witness the progress they had made. The teacher. gi'r. Van Praagh, showed the steps of the process by which mere infants are taught both to understand and use the lip-language, and, at an early age, to frame sentences. and hold easy conversation. - A gentleman among the audience asked one of the pupils to name a member- of the House of Lords. . The answer immediately came, ¢ Lord Beaconsfield.”” Another was asked to give the name of a leading member of the House of Com-, mons. ~ ‘*“ Mr. Gladstone,”’ was the reply. The sounds they make are monotonous, as they cannot emphasize or inflect their voices. But the main point is; they can make themselves understood. This blessed invention of ena~ bling the dumb to speak and the deaf to undersfind, ought to have been made at an earlier day. We read in one of Voltaire’s letters of 1760: ¢We have in Geneva a woman a hundred and two years old, who has three deaf and dumb children. They converse with their mother (an educated lady) from morning until evening, sometimes by moving their lips, sometimes by moving their fingers. They play all games very well, know all the gossip of the city, and tell funny storiesyabout their neighbors as well as the greatest talkers can. They understand everything that is said to them by the movement of thelips, and, ; in a word, they, are very good com-" pany.”’—Youth’s Companion. :

Learning Foreign Languages. - In all the large cities of the East, particularly here, itis said that many well- - to-do parents are so fond of intrusting their small children to French bonnes, or nursery-maids that the children often grow to be eight and ten years of age without learning to speak their own language, save with a marked accent. Their parents are so desirous to have them acquire French that they are rather pleased with this grave defect in tneir education, comforting themselves with : the thought that lateron they will necessarily ' speak their own tongue with perfect purity. They have a notion, and a very absurd notion, that it isa . fine thing to have their childien better acquainted with French than English, and are prone to mention the fact to their friends with' much complacency. It is very well, no doubt, that children should acquire other languages than their own in their tender years, when they can do so without conscious effort. But it is not very well that they should acquire a foreign tongue at the expense of the vernacular. %‘he language that is learned unconsciously before six years of age is very apt to:be the dominant and most natural language to us in after life. If we can get only one tongue } at that period itshould be by all means the mother tongue. Little folks in Germany often speak German, French and English be&re they are ten or twelve, and it wounld be advisable for our children todo the same. But to be able to rattle away in French and to talk their own langlm%g with a foreign , accent is a great mistake which all discreet parents wduld, certainly prevent. - It should be remembered, too, that the French of nursemaids is not the French which Taine or Renan-uses, or which is accepted as polite in Paris. As the children usually have nobedy to correct their foreign speech, they are very likely to -grow up with a very fluent French which' savors, as the Parisians. sagl, very redolently of the markets. | Educated parents can not be too careful : to instruct their chilaven by oral example in the best use of their native tongue. —New York Times. el :
