First We favor honest and effi cient administration of the depart ments of government, both state and national. Second-The right of the citizen to vote, as authorized by law, and to have his vote honorably counted, ought to bo respected and all ef forts to control or limit that right deserves the condemnation of all good citizens. Third That while disclaiming the right to interfere with the ad ministration of the internal affairs of foreign nations, wo sincerely ap prove the ellorts ot Irish ana iin- glish statesmen to secure by peace ful methods the American princi ple of "home rule" for Ireland. Fourth That wo are in favor of such legislation as should prohibit and punish the manufacture of adulterated foods. Fifth That wa are in favor of the enactment of a law by con gress, whereby the homestead or pre-emption rights of settlers shall not be forfeited by cancellation of filings by the land department when settlement or filing is made in good faith. Sixth That we favor the en couragement and development of our state by the construction of railroads and other systems of transportation, and that we hold all corporations to be strictly re sponsible to their liabilities under the law, and recognize the right of the legislature to enact all reason able limitations on corporate power. Seventh. That wc regard the further immigration into the Uni ted States of Chinese laborers as directly opposed to the interests of American labor; and we there fore heartily approve the action of the Republican senate in provid ing by proper legislation for so amending our treaties with China as to prevent their further immigra tion here. Eighth. We recogniso that the nation owns a debt to the surviv ing veterans of the rebellion which cannot be adequately repaid, and hold it to be the duty of the gener al government to provide for the necessities of them and their's by prompt payment of liberal pen sions. Ninth. That the action of presi dent Cleveland in ordering the ro turn of the rebel flags was an t.s warranted assumption of the ritrm to use for political purposes, . ti" trophies of a valor he did not pos sess and the fruits of a victory lie did not help to secure. Tenth. While we approve every honest effort to preserve our pub lic lands by tho punishment of willful trespassers upon them, and are in favor of such measures as will encourage our citizens to set tle upon and improve them, we condemn the action of the present administration in its pretended efforts to protect such lands under color of which, instead of pursuing the policv of the Republican ad ministration by causing tho arrest and puntshment of those only whose actions appeared to have been dishonest and criminal. It has refused to cause said lauds to be surveyed, therefore discourag ing their settlememt by people needing and desiring to take them The administration also filled tne countrv with a horde of officers styling themselves "special agents oi tne interior department, who have been made to act as spie.3 and informers upon such of the honest citizens as have ventured to settle upon tho public lands for the purpose of carving for them selves homes in the wilderness and has caused the arrest of honest settlers upon those lands upon charges false and infamous, and publicy branding them as robbprs and thieves, has cansed them to bo dragged into both tho civil and criminal courts to be tried upon false and fictitious charges, there by compelling them to incur the expense of two defenses against the same act; has caused these same special agents to raise questions and disputo the right of honest citizens to require title to the pub lic landsNipon which they have honestly and in rood, faith settled and for which they have paid their monev and acting upon the sugges tionl of these acents the officials havinrr such matters in charge have under the direction of the ad ministration, like a court organized to convict, deprived the settler of his land, robbed him of the benefit of his lajjor end refused to return his money; and these wrongs have been perpetuated against the set tler with no apparent object but to furnish a pretext for so-called Democratic reform. Eleventh That the policy of the Democratic administration, which would place wool and lum ber on the free list, and woolen goods on the highly protected list, cotton prints on the free list, aud other similar articles; hoop iron on the protected list; and which poli cy would continue the collection of $50,000,000 on sugar each year, while at tho same time the major ity appluad the claim to carry out the president s idea that a tariff tax is aobbery of the people, con stitutes a piece of unparalleled po litical dishonesty, having lor its sole objact the sucess of the Dem ocratic party at the next election, even at the expense of the practi cal destiuction of many of our most important agricultural and manufacturing industries. -Iwelveth Wo favor the policy of providing, chiefly for the re venues of the general government and for the purposes essential to the general government' a system of duties levied upon imports so adjusted as to discriminate in favor of domestic industries and produc tions and in favor of American la bor, and we declare in favor of re ducing the annual surplus rev enues of the government by ad mitting free of dnt' such articles of general use as cannot be large ly produced or manufactured bv our own people. thirteenth ihat wa deprecate the attempts of the Democratic administration to degrade the hon est toil of America to a level with pauper-labor of the old world. Fourteenth We denounce and deplore tho refusal of president Cleveland to approve the river and haih.ir hill, and we opnounce the action of the secretary of war in what feenis to be a studied at tempt to delay the improvement of tne Columbia river; and fully recognizing tho importance -f our great waterways as regulators nf freight charges, not only un the! watoiways themselves but on the' railroads us well, we insi.st that! our rivers should be free and open j to the sea, and we demand of the ' general government's needed ap propriations therefor. At the same time we recommend the next leg islaturu to take proper and ade quate steps to asist at once in opening the great river to general commerce. Lastly We denounce the civil service refonn professions of pres ident Cleveland ai a sham and a fraud, as promises made to secure votes before election, and the vio lation of which has been as con stant as the Democratic office seekers could demand. Exactly What Is Sought After. A safe, reliable, harmless, not re pulsive remedy that can bo taken with out chanRins the regular diet or disor ganinK the system ; a vegetable com pound assisting nature to get rid of im purities in a gradual manner as nature Intended. Such is Simmon's Liver Reg ulator, and a trial proves this to the most skeptical. Complete satisfaction Is guaranteed, ami certainly it is a sat isfaction to find the head clear, the bowels regular, the blood purified and the breath sweet. Princo Alexander's betrothal to prineess Victoria takes place early in Juno. The Whole Vital Machinery Depends for the fuel, which is the origin nf its propuKory force upon the stomach, lu that hidden alembic the food undergoes the chemical chance s which transmute it Into blood, from w lilcli the system draws the ma terUrthat reimburses It for Its daily losses of tissue. These, of course, are greatly aug mented In disease. If the stomach, there fore, is weakened or disordered, the system Is deni-lvedlof sustenance. Hostetters's Stom ach Hitters can be relied upon to facilitate and ienen dlges ion when that function has been interrupted by weakness of the stom ach. Billouness, or :a diversion ot tho bile from its proper channel, wtucii causes con stipation, is also remedied by it. Heartburn wind on the stomach, sick headache, fur upon the tongue, and other symptoms of stomach and liver disorder, it speedily re moves. Malarial complaints of every sort kidney and bladder troubles, constipation, rheumatism and ncuralg'a yield" when It is used regularly and persistently. At. the Democratic caucus it was decided to support the House Omnibus Bill. Physicians, clergymen, and sci entists, unite in recommending Ayer's Cherry Pectoral as an in valuable remedy for throat and lung troubles. - It is said the Blaine move, in Vermont will result in Edmunds, retirement.
