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.

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.
