veniion., are re-arfirmed; il i, declared that
events have proved that their practical enforce
mcnt is essential TO the welfare Of the country
and the maintenance Of the interests rights
and libertle, OF the people.
Resolved, That in view Of the fact that the
Republican party has so met the vital issues Of
the past twelve years a. 10 secur. the support
Of vast preponderance Of the patriotism and
intelligence Of the nation IL has fairly won FOR
itself the right Ia the title Of being th true Re
form Party of the country.
Resolved, That the Republicans Of Maine de-
mand At the hands of those they have chosen
10 conduct the affairs Of the Nation and Stat.
rlgid economy, TO the end, that taxes may be
reduced a, rapidly - consistent with good GOV
eminent.
Resolved, That this Convention, in behalf Of
the Republicans Of Maine, declares its unquali-
fed condemnation of the regent action Of Con-
gres> Increasing the salaries of It's members
and making It's provisions retroactive. a. UNI
called for unpatriotic. and in gros, violation Of
the most emphatic pledges Of the last National
Convention to the country; and il demand. Of
our Maine delegation 10 use every effort To Sc
cure the prompt and unconditional repeal OF an
act - dI-Sraceiul 10 Congress and justly odious
TO the people.
Resolved, That this Conve ntion protests
against the granting Of another acre Of the pub
lie domain To railroad or other corporations
and we further declare against any grant Of the
national credit for, or national participation in
the building Of canals or railroads. believing
that the direct tendency Of that policy is to-
wards prodiSality and corruption.
Resolved, That ~ 'al power is inherent in
the people, and the government of the people
Is for the people, their rights and powers are
paramount 10 those OF any creature that exists
by It's pleasure; We therefore declare that it is
the duty OF the legislature TO promptly apply
remedy TO all abuses, determinations and ex-
tortlons Of transportation companies, and to
make them subseryient to the best interests Of
the State.
Resolved, That we heartily applaud the ae-
i've measures OF the late Congress in ferreting
out and exposing corruption, and demand pure
onclal conduct and the punishment Of unfaitil-
full men, who, having betrayed the confidence
freely extended to them, shall not be shielded
from the disgrace OF their acts by any partizan-
ship Of ours; and we denounce all Credit Mo-
bilier transactions, whatever be their form.
Resolved, That the Republican party Of Maine
heartily endorse all measures that tend to in
crease the real prosperity Of the people, to de-
velope the resources Of the State, and elevate
the standard Of intelligence and morality among
the people.
Resolved, That the practice Of loading tho APP
nrODrlaflDn hills essential In the .ffh he
government, with Objectionable Legislation in
the shape Of amendments, towards the close OF
the session, is prolific source Of abuse and
fraud upon the people, andits reform is urgent
ly demanded.
Resolved. That we recognize as a growing
evil that should be uprooted, the increase OF
private legislation both in the State Legis atures
and the National Congress, consuming time
that should be given 10 purely public interests,
building up thereby, oyergrown corporations
and monopolies, and giving rise to Hobbies
which tend to bring reproach on both National
and State legislation.
ResOlved-That the thanks Of the people Of
Maine are due to Hon. Sidney Perham for the
faithfulness and ability with which he has fill
ed the Executive Chair for the last three years,
and further:
Resolved, THAT this Convention presents to
the people the Hon. Nelson Nngley, Jr., as
gentleman Of inspected reputation, distinguish
ed by his service In the public affairs Of our
State, and capable Of filing the Executive Chair
with the wisdom and ability demanded by the
first Office in the State.
