composed Of those who chiefly have resisted
every step Of this BENEFICIAL progress
3 Complete liberty and exact eQuallty In the
the enjoyment of all civil, political and public
rights should be established and efectually main-
tanned throughout the Union by efficient and APP
propriste State and Federal legislation; neither
law nor its administration should admit OF any
discrimination in respect to citizens by reason OF
race. Creed color, OF previous condlton OF ss1'i-
tude.
J. The recent amendments to the National Con-
stitrltion should be cordially sustained because
they are right and not merely tolerated because
they are law, and should be carried out according
to their spirit by appropriate legislation the en-
forcement of which can be safely trusted only to
the party that secured those amendments
L. The National Government should seek to
maintain an honorable peace with all nations,
protecting its citizens everywhere, and sympa-
thyzing with all people who strive for greater
liberty
s. Any system of civil service under which the
subordinate positions of the Government are con
sidered rewards for mere party zeal is fatally de
mUrslizing, and we therefore favor system by
laws which shall scolish the evils OF patronage,
tial qualifications for public position. without
practically creating life tenure of office.
g. We are opposed to further grants OF public
lands to corporations and monopoiies, and de-
mand that the national domain be set apart for
free homes for the people.
Z. The annual revenue, after paying current
debts should furnish . moderate balance for the
reduction Of the principal; and revenue. except
such ss may be derived from . tax on tobacco
and iquors, BE- raised by duties on importations,
the duties on which should be so adjusted IS to
aid in securing remunerative wages to the Ia
borer and promote the industries, growth and
prosperity Of the whole country.
9. We hold in undying honor the soldiers ana
sailors whose valor saved the Union; their pen
sions are . sacred debt of the nation and the
widows and orphans Of those who died for their
country are entitled to the care of generous
and grateful people. We favor such additional
legislation - will extend the bounty of the Gov
eminent to all our soldiers and sailors VINO were
hOnOrably discharged, and who in the line OF
duty became disabled, without regard to length
Of service OF cause Of such discharge.
o. The dict1ine of Great Britain ard other Euro
ject always = subject-having at last, through
the efforts Of the Republican party, been aban-
doned and the American idea Of the individual s
right to transfer his allegiance having been &C
cepted by European nations, it is the duty of our
Government to gumrd with jealons care the rights
Of our adopted citizens against the assumption OF
unauthorized claims by their former govern
ments, and We urge continual and careful encour-
10. The frankine privilege ought to b. aboi-
ished, and the way prepared for speedy reduc-
ton in the rates Of postage.
IL. Among the questions which press for atten-
ton is that which concerns the relations OF
capital and labor and the Republican party re-
cognixe the duty Of SO shaping legislation as to
secure full protection and the amplest held for
capital and for labor the creator Of capital the
largest opportunities and . just share OF mutual
pEots OF these two great servants of civilization
L.. We hold that Congress and the President
have only fulfilled an imperative duty in their
measures for the suppression Of violent and trea-
sonable organizations in certain lately rehelllous
regions and for the protection Of the ballot box:
and. therefore, they entitled to the thAnks OF
the nation.
Is. We denounce the reputation of the public
debt in any form disguise, rs national crime.
We witness with pride the reduction OF the prin-
cipal Of the debt and of the rates Of interest on
the balance, and confidently expect that our ex-
oellent national currency will he perfected BY
speedy resumption Of specie payments.
n. The Republican party is mindful OF its OBJ
legations to the loyal women Of America for their
noble devotion to the cause Of freedom their
admission to the wider fields of usefulness is re-
ceived with satisfaction, and the honest de-
mands. Of any class Of citizens for additional
rights should be trested with respectful consid-
