following list, which, after discussion, were
adopted:
Resolved. that we cherish patriotic and honor
able pride in the past history of the republican
party, identified it Is with the great triumphs OF
human freedom and progress, with the emanclpa-
ton of an oppressed people from bondage and with
the preservation of our country from anarchy ana
ruin threatened by the late rebellion; and that,
while we fully appreciate the great questions now
presented to the country for solution, many OF
which are the outgrowths of the civil war just end
ed, we rejoice that, unlike those whose record in
opposition to the war for the preservation OF the
Union is unchangeably written, we have no cause
for consgning the past with ITS eyenti einOG G
patriotism and loyalty contained in its teachings
Resolved, that, while we recognize the excellence
of our plan Of state government existing under,
and acting in harmony with, the constitution Of the
United States, believe that the federal govern
ment established under the constitution, does pos
SeBS and ought TO exercise SuIHclenJ power W pTO-
tect every American citizen in the unrammeled ex-
preston of his sentiments in the free exercise Of
the ballot, in the fullest enjoyment OF his property
and the absolute safety Of his person wherever the
American flag floats over American SOIL and that
this protection of the government should be ex-
tended to the person of every citizen OF the unted
States whether upon land or sea, at home or abroad
Resolved, that IN the present eXlgencles OF our
country tariff on imports is the readiest and least
oppressive mode of raising the larger portion OF the
revenue needed for the support of the federal gov
ernment and that in assessing the duties care should
be taken to so adjust them as not to prejudice, but
to promote the interests OF every section ana Drancn
taken to foster in every practicable way the honor
and interests of the American laborer.
Resolved that the revival of American commerce
is a matter of national importance and that by the
passage of the bills recommended by the special
congressional COMMITTEES proper means and measures
should be taken to effect IT.
Resolved, that we reairm our faith in the princi-
pies Of prohibition and its impartial enforcement.
Resolved, that the administration of President
Grant by its economical management of the ma
tional finances and its enormous reduction of the
national debt by its wise conduct of the foreign af
irs of the country especially in securing an honor
able and advantageous adjustment of all our diff
culties with Great Britain, by its judcious and de-
termined efforts to reform the civil service of the
country, by its humane and successful policy of
dealing with the indians, and by its persistent eff
forts to secure the rights of every American citizen
without regard to creed, caste or color, demands
and receives at our hands the renewed expression
of our confidence and the assurance of our unway-
ering support.
Resolved, that in nominating the Hon. Sydney
Perham second time for the sufirages of his fellow
citizens we point with pride to his upright admins
tration OF the state affairs and to his high personal
character. We present him as a friend to economy,
to good government, to sound principles of temper
ance and prohibition, loyal and true to the Union
in every position ne has occupied, and we appeal
with undaunted faith to the people of Maine for the
endorsement of our candidate and the principle he
so truly represents
The convention then adjourned.
