| Lshing for all the people, liberty ant
: equality before the law; for its graf
: itude and generous provision fol
the national defenders and pension
/ ers: for its inyiolate honor and goot

, and, generally for its successful ad

peace as well as in war.
: ,. We not only recognize tn,
, thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution o
! the United States as accomplished
. facts, but also,as just wise and vali(
; articles of organic law, to be jeal
ously defended and enforced a.
parts ofthe Constitution, now hence
forth and forever.
, ). As it will be necessary and de
sirable to obtain from duties on i'm
ports large portion of the revenue:
needed to defray the expenses o
the government, to pay the interest
on the national debt and the princi
pal as it natures, such duties should
be so adjusted as not to prejudice
but promote the interests of every
section and branch of industry
as far as may he possible.
|. 4. The present administration ol
Ithe National Government has vindi
Gated its right to the continued con
fidence of the people. Its success
has been illustrated in the impair
tial execution of the laws; in its
faithfulness, honesty and economy
in the collection of public revenues,
and in the expenses of the Govern
ment; so that while taxation has
Ipeen reduced to the extent of 800
OOO, 900 per year, the national debt
has been liquidated to the amount
the amount of over $230,O00,O00-
a reduction unparalleled in history.
The administration has been equally
successful in the management OF
our foreign rclations,uud has acmey-
ell imperishable honor in the settle
ment of our differences with Great
Britain, upon terms creditable to
both countries, as embodied in the
Treaty of Was hington. The head
of an an administration thus dis
tinguished by success and states
manship is justly entitled to be re-
garded as wise and careful civil
magistrate, and his uniform defer
ence to public sentiment, shows
him to be one whom the country
may trust, having fully redeemed
the pledge he made before entering
upon the duties of Chief Magis-
trate, that he would have no policy
of his own to enforce against the
will of the people.
.. We repeat our condemnation
of the policy of granting subsidies
of public lands to corporations and
monopolies; and having originated
the policy of granting homesteads
to actual settlers we declare that
the public domain should be kept
for our laboring population.
G. We are in favor of the adop-
ton Of thorough system of civil
service reform, and we indorse
heartily the action of President
Grant in selecting the Commission
ers under the recent so called civil
service act.
Z. We unite with our fellow cit
liens in every portion of the Union
in the hope that the enmities and
resentments of the war may be
speedily ended, and that the dav
may soon come when in every State
every citizen may be safe in life.
person, property and civil rights,
and may have the equal protection
of the laws,so that no man who was
loyal to the Union during the great
struggle, may for that reason be
the victim of persecution, outrage
and assassination, and so that some
encouragement may be offered for
the revowal in all proper cases of
political disabilities imposed for
participation in the rebellion.
g. We Recommend the calling of a
Convention to amend the Constitu-
tion of the State. .Ha.t
9. We express our unqualified ap-
proval of the administration of our
present State Executive, Governor
X. b. Hayes, and assure him that
our verdict is-"Well done, good
and faithful servant"
