ing declaration of principles :
Wo view with great concern th
consolidation of the giez.t railway !
lino.i of the country under the coui.ro
of a few men who exeaciso despot
powers , impose oppressive burden
upon us , and have in a moaauro tmb
verted our republican system -of * gov
ernment. ' *
Jiefolrcd , That railways ur&pu'GH
highways and common carriers do
giving their existence from the stat
and therefore subject to regulatm
and control by the stato.
licsolvcd , That the provision of oil
state constitution requiring the taxa
tion of the property of corporation
and their franchises shall bo rigid !
enforced by suitable laws.
Resolved , That railroad corporation
shall bo assessed and taxed in th
sarno manner as the property o
individuals nnd private corporations
2lei > ulved , That wo demand the tax
ation of all public lands donated to
railroads , and wo oppueo the furtho
grant of public lands to any corpora
tion for whatsoever purpose.
Hewlccd , That wo demand the on
actmeut of n. law that will make the
tender of a railroad pass or free trans
portation to any public oflicor a bribe
punishable in the same manner as the
tender of money or other articles o
value.
Jt&iokcd , That wo favor the enactment
actment of laws that will punish fraud
bribery or intimidation of voters u
primary elections and political con
volitions in the BMIIO manner that is
now provided by law for similar of
fciisos ut general elections.
Ifaolecd , That wo favor i thorougl

the prison walls in competition wit !
the honest voluntary labor.

lie works to eight hours per day.
Jlcsulved , That the military slioulc
bo subordinate to the civil authority ,
and the employment ot the army in

has not buun obstructed is a danger
ous invasion of civil liberty.
licfolv d , That wo urge upon nil
citizens who dcsiro to limit thu poli
tical power of corporate monopolies
to disregard party lines , if need be ,
and throw u solid vote againet candi
dates who will not pledge , themselves

These resolutions were adopto'l
dfter a very animated debate , Mr.
Pace called up his resolution directing
the executive committee to call a state
convention to nominate an anti-mon-
jpoly state ticket , His attention was
jailed to the fact that the power was
ilready vested by the constitution in
: ho executive committee , After con-
lidorablo sparring the resolution was
ndefinitely postponed ,
THE CONTIIACT SYHrKM.
Mr. Walsh , of Douglas , offeied a
resolution declaring it to ho the sense
if this convention that the contract
lyotem for public works in Btatu ,
: ounty ami city should bo abolished
ind all such work done by day labor.
To urged that the contract system
> roventod the construction of sub-
itantial pubho buildincK , nnd was a
ourco of corrupt practices that robed -
> od the laboring man nnd placed his
arnings into the pockets of the oon-
ractors.
Mr. Ingorsoll , of Johnson , thought
hat much could bo said on both sides
if this cpuestion. It was u subject
hat demanded moro thorough discus-
ion than could bo given at such a late
.our in the cession of the convention
when everybody was nnxiou * to got to
the trains.
Consideration of iho subject was in
definitely postponed.

Guitoau's spiritual advisor , and Misi
Chovallior , of Boston , called at the

view with the president and requested
from the president n respite fet
Guitcau , and asked for n commission
to inquire into his sanity. They
think that ho will give the mattoi
earnest consideration.
It is thought barely possible , though
not probable , that President Arthur
may yield to the petition presented to
day nnd grant n brief respite for Gui
tcau for the cole purpose of having
his sanity pronounced by a competent
board of examiners. The president
is known to have expressed a wish
that it might bo shown that no sane
American killed President Garfield ,
but does not think that a board would
pronounce Guitoau insane and that if
u respite was granted it will be merely
to fornvor silence questioning on the
subject. - * !

looks
The strike of the freight hnudlors
for en increase of wages from 17 to 20
cents nn hour still continues nnd the
blockade of tracks , curts nndvngons
waiting to ship goods to-day is greater
than at any previous time since the
otriku began. The only companies
which nro receiving freight nro the
PontiRvlvania. railroad , Rod Star line ,
Now York , Lake Erie nnd Western ,
and Merchant's Dispatch. The whole
sale grocers nnd butter and provision
doalura nil unite in Baying that the
dolny in shipping goods was causing
the loan of hundreds of thousands of
dollars daily to merchants of this city.
They all favor the men on the strike ,
and said it would bo wise for the
roads to pay the advance asked for.

ages to suttlo for injury to goods.

bo hold July ; td for the purpose of

in the Amalgamated association , as

am declnro n strike. The finish
ers wont a two.thirds vote made neces
sary , as the puddlora nro too great a
majority nnd leave other workers in
the minority when their interests are
against n strike.
