INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT. e
l The greatest good for the creates
number, being one Of the principles O.
Republicans, we are in favor of such 9
system of public improvement as shall
best secure that result. The necessities Of
not only Virginia, but of the whole coun-
try demand increased facilities for cheap
transportation. We are therefore in favor
of the early completion of the James
River and Kanawha canal, and call
upon the Congress of the United States to
take this matter into consideration at the
next session, and make an appropriation for
the same. Believing it to be national ne
cessity, it should be national highway.
| We pledge the Republicans of Virginia to
use every endeavor to secure its early COM
pletion. We also favor such a liberal
system of railroad improvement as shall
tend to develop all sections of our state.
and we call upon the voters of this COM
monwealth to unite with us in securing
these desired results. fJlie

common with the national Republican par
ty, is opposed to all forms of Reputation, and
favor such q financial policy as shall tend to
the payment of the public debt of the state
without being oppressive upon her citizens.
We regard the expenses Of our state gov
eminent as disproportioned to the available
resources of the people, and demand that
they shall be made more fully to confirm
thereto. We disapprove all extra COM
pensation, and favor economy in govern
ment, state and national that we deem
the act known as the funding billu as
mpolitic, unjust and oppressive, and en-
acted solely in the interest of bondholders.

sources and we are in favor of and |
demand the submission of the question of |
the financial obligation of West Virginia to |
States for decision. "a 40 agat
~ MATERIAL DEvEIOPMENT.
We are in favor of the development
of the material resources of our state.
which, under the rule of the Conservative +
party and its predecessors, have lain DOR
mant. The mines of coal, iron and other
the vast water-power, and the
many other material resources of the
state, which exist in rich profusion on every
hand, need but enterprise and capital to
develop them, and thus make Virginia one
IF the greatest manufacturing states in the
Union. 10 this end, we are in favor of
such liberal legislation as shall tend to en-
,ourge the Investment Of capital in mining
md manufacturing operations, and of gen.
raj laws of incorporation, together with
uch liberal spirit on the part Of our pee
lie as shall invite men of enterprise to
,ome and dwell among us.
