Judge Hammond's Address at Goodland.

XTr. Chaixmax and Gentlemen of the Convention:—ln the resolution just passed endorsing my judicial course hnd redornmending me us a candidate for re-election, vou have paid me a compliment for which I can find no words by which to express my thanks. Ido not appopriat eto myself the credit your resolution attributes to me. It has been my good fortune to enjoy the uniform kindness and willing assistance of the mcnibers of the bar practicing in the courts ever which I have presided. The people of this circuit arecxceptionably peaceable and and law abiding, and are always found npon tho side of good order and the enforcement of the fairs. To these favorable surroundings fa due any satisfaction that may have attended the administration of the laws in this circuit. The office which 1 hold is not a political office. The opinion is becoming quite prevalent that in the aelectlon of judicial officers party and party influences should be disregarded as far as possible. With thia opinion I most heartily , concur, and while I would not ben candidate without the approval es this convention, I irb very much pleased that you gave me wimp!/.*resolution of oudorsement as a cahdidate in place of nomination, because the partisanship that might be inferred from a nomination'iaah no existence in your resolution, Pennit me, in conclusion, to w«uf* you and the people of the 30th judicial circuit, that during the remainder of ray present term of office, and during another term if re-eieeted, it will be my earnest endeavor, as it has been tn the part to preform my official duties faithfully- end impartislly, and to the best of my ■biUiy according to the laws which I Mn sworn to obey and administer. And, in again thanking you, show me to express hope that the confidence this day so kindly, generoosiy, and unanimously repa«kd Mt me may never ba regnstted.

Washburn in a letter to the Logansport Jtmrmtl says: The greenbackers say that Wploott got SB,(Xh» two yenrs Ikgo. Now anol her proposes to sell cut hie party in an adjoining county, provided somebody will pay enough. I wsaagrecnbaoker, but this disposition to sell out looks as though the leaders nre for sale. I have no confidence in them. They talk too much. Greenback is a monomania with some of them. They hare ongaged in business, and being t<H> visioniury and greeily to stick to legitiir.ate business, they have engaged in disreputable transactions and failed. They now hope by talk to get all of the poor, the iinfortuniOMUid the lazy, to indorse their doctrines, nln then, by compromising with the weakest party m each county, make something out of it. Insome inslntiees it m.iy succee<l, but it wilt ffhaily fail, nnd too many of those accepting the ideas of these men will becotnecommunists and dest ructionisls. The proper place foi every honest greenback num is in the ranks of the republican party. It created the green back and has maintained nnd defended it against the attacks of rebels, repudi uionists and democrats. Under the wise and fostering cure of the republican party the greenback has appreciated to within a fraction of par with gold, and it is the intention of the party to make it fully equal to gold and keep it there. The democratic party hns always fought greenbacks nnd would degrade them now it they had the power, and will do it should unv thing so unfortunate ever come to pass.— IPar.iaw Northern Inilliiniiin. The greenback now in circulation is the good old greenback—the republican greenback —that has been maligned,abuse-.!, traduced and d—d over and over again, hut the professed greenback is a sham, a subterfuge, a fraud, a counterfeit. The good old republican greenback—the best paper ever invented— promised that it should be redeemed in dollars. The latter-day counterfeit proposes to be like the grasshopper, issue itself in countless millions, and promises nothing to the country save finantia! ruin.— Wamaw Nortnr.rn Indinnian.

The republicans of Indiana, in convention nssembleil, make the following declaration of principles: The maintenance of the great principles of the leptibliean party as essential to the peace, jierninnciiey and prosperity of the nation. Tlie light of tl>e people to meet together and discuss their grievances, to laj jealously guarded and maintained; but determined Opposition to lawlessness, or to nny resort to force and violence, as subversive of the public peace, injurious to public morals, and destructive of the rights and Interests of all classes. Equal rights licfore the law mid equal protection under the law, without regard to yaco, creed, condition or occupation. No to individuals,or classes. Opposition to all subsidies, national, state, county, or municipal. The common school system to be cbcrislu-d and perfected; ami to that end the school fund should not be diverted to sectarian purposes. Rigid economy in all expenditures, national, state, county and municipal. A Just limitation msou taxes for state, county, township and mnnicipnl pmqxises. Opposition to any increase of municipal indebtedness. .Strict accountability liixm tlie part of public oflicors. The j nst reduction and equalization of aft fees mid salaries. Sucli legislation as will secure to all persons laboring for, and furuisUiug supplies to. railroad and other corporations full payment for their labor and material. An increased exemption of property from execution, and a liberal homestead law. Sucli legislation as will protect the lives and seeiirc tlie vein fort of miners ancLlaborew engaged in hazardous occupations. A constitutional amendment providing for strict registration nml election laws. Full commendation and sympatliy witli all efforts for personal reformation. Americmi industries to be encouraged and fostered by sucli legisiiltioli ns will develop the material resources of the country, mid give full measure of employment and rewanl for lalmr. Opposition to repudiation in all its forms; the honor and credit of thy nation to be maintained in every contingency'. No abandonment or depreciation of the greenback curreney. A sound and stable currency in gold, silver and paper ot the same value. .National legislation authorizing the receipt of greenliacks at par in pavmeut of customs and in purchase of govurntnent Ismds. <)p|«»sition to furtlier liiiancial agitation; stability in our tinaiic.l;:! system being essential to business prosperity. Cnion sohtiees are entitled to all honor, and their displacement, and the substitiitibn of rebel solilicrs. as employes, by tlie national laiuse of representatives, slioultl be condeimied by every patriotic citizen. Opposition to tlie pavnient of soutliern claims arising out of the relx-lliou. We ilenomice tlie action of tlie democratic house of representatives in demanding payment of over two hundred million dollars of rebel claims as a conspiracy against tlie government, less open but not less dangerous than armed rebellion. We denounce* the democrats in the house of representatives for their lawless action in unseating republican representatives fairly ami legally elected, and in giving their places to partisans regardless ot the right of election by die people. The leaders of the democratic party are seeking to make it a revolutionary party; they will not submit to the rei>ose of the country, or leave tlie people to their peaceful pursuits so long as they nave hope of profit by agitation; and no law’ or public measure is soPsaered that they will not violate it to obtain u party advantage. The cry of fraud in regard to tile last presidential election is n disguise to conceal the illegal and forcible means bv which voters in tae. southern states were intimidated, and thousands in all the states were sought to be corrupted; and tlie unblushing manner in which tlie leaders of the democratic party undeitook to buy votes'of presidential electors with money proves them unworthy the public confidence. The denial of the title ot President Hayes is an act of party desperation, and the attempt to oust him from office is revolutionary resistance to law: if it is not condemned by the people it will furnish a precedent by which any defeated party mav issue its declaration in opposition to law, rally its supporters to nets of violence, plunge tlie country into anarchy, and thus Mexicanize and destroy our institutions. Tlie electoral commission was constitutionally'created by the act'and consent of the democratic party in congress; and its decision, subsequently confirmed bv congress, was iinnl and oouclusive n]M>n every department of this government. There can lie no appeal from it, except bv revolution. Ils decision makes the title of President Hayes equal to that of any former president. We recognize in Iris personal integrity, as well as the general course of his administration, tlie guarantee that lie will conduct the government so as to preserve tlie honor aml promote the happiness of the whole country. We solemnly pledge ourselves to support nnd maintain President Hayes ami tlie ! lawiiillv constituted authorities us the government iuresisting revolution. At this tho first opportunity presented tin* republicans of Indiana in this capacity, we desire to place on the permanent records of the party a tribute of onr high approeiation of the character and services of Oliver P. Morton. What he lias done for his country ami his state is. now history. We can never forget his intrepid leadership amihis unselfish devotion to the public weal. The people of Indiana must ever regtusl and riirrish tne memory of him whose name and fanw are now tlie eoumiou iierttgeot tlie nation. gfcNE DOLLAR PER ANNUM, td H cents for ft months, M cents forX months bj K lO cent* fori month—subscription price of M M THE RKASSKLAEB UKIO3.
