I admit that he has some faults
PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES.

EI PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES.
90. Because the platform of principles put
forth by the National Republican Convention
is one upon which every lover of freedom
can stand, which appeals with a-noble pride
TO the glorious acts of the Republican party
during the past eleven years, and m arks out
q course for the future alike suited to all sec
lions Of the country, and to all the inhabit-
ants thereof. Liberty and equality; civil,
political aud public rights; the constitution
al amendments peace with foreign nations
civil service reform public lands; revenue
and taxation honor gratitude, and remu-
neraton to soldiers and sailors; protection
TO immigrants and naturalZed citizens; the
franlking privilege; workingmen and capt.
talsts; the suppression Of violent and treas
enable organizations, and the establishment
of an honest, pure and free ballot every
where; denunciation Of reputation, and a
sacred pledge to pay the public deGt trib-
ute TO the loyal women of America, aud a
Just consideration for the honest demands of
any class of citizens for additional rights;
amnes y; powers of the States and of the
Federal Government; the encouragement of
commerce and ship-building; and an enthu-
siastic endorsement OF Grant and Wilson.
These are the topics Of the Republican plat
form, aud thereis nothing comprised in 1t
which can fail to meet the approval OF every
enemy of slavery, every lover Of human
rights, every friend ofreal reform. It com
prehends alIthe varied interests of the Gov
eminent and the people.
THE GREE-.EY PLATFORM.
90. Because the platform of the Greeley
Democrats, so far as it contains any princi-
pies OF value, is only "Repub]can thunder"
which was stolen by the Cincinnati conspira-
tors and sOcehCaGs, wh0 sought to delude
the people by assuming Republican virtues
when they had them not. President Grant
had furnished this thunder in his messages,
and they stole it and maligaed its author at
the same time. They mixed poison with
what thew stole, and cupnir@ly covered up n
their correction, thegabandment Of the col
ored manto ku KIux power and other mis-
cheivous doctrines which would bear speedy
and destructive fruit, were it possible for the
country to be clrsed by the election of Hor-
ace Greeley.
.r GOOD EFFECTS OF REPUBLICAN, RULE.
Ga. Beeauso, under Republican rule lex.
cept where SO called Liberal Republicans -
Tammany rufians, ku KIux assassins, and
Greeley Democrats prevent) there is through.
out this republic, freedom of speech, free
dom of The press, freedom of action, ,obedI.
dience to law, prevalence of order, peace and
general prosperity. Bat under. Democra tic
lule, in those portions of the country where
Democrats and the brutal slave system had
complete power, freedom Of the speech and
of the press prescribed, freedom Of action
circumsccibed, freedom of IocomotIon con.
trolled, and murder and assassination, and
the terrible evils Of demoralzed society
were rife, ana we're never even measu ably
suppressed, until slavery was abolished aad
Lincoln ard Grant presided over the nation.
BALEFUL EFFECTS OF DEMOCRATIC RULE.
95. Because, were the Democrats restored
to power chaos would come again, and par
ty ofreactioD would control the Government
and exhibit scenes similar TO those which Oc-
Cured on the return Of Charles II. TO Eng
land, and which were wltne ssed in France
