THE PLATFORM.
The following platform was adopted:
/. That the principles Of the party as
heretofore expressed In It's Conventions
are reaffirmed, and 1t b declaAed that
events have proved that their practical en-.
iorcement is essential to the welfare Of
the country, and the maintenance Of the
interests, rights, and liberties Of the peo-
pie.
2. That we re.afflrm our confidence in
President Grant, iE his wisdom, integrity
and success Of his administration.
8. That there should be rigid ecouo.
my In the State and National Admins.
tration, and that the taxes should be con.
tinually reducediin both, as rapidly as
consistent with good government, main.
tainsnce, Of public credit and the certain
extinguiShment Of State and National
debts. 'E'' .'.
4. That the public lands belong to the
people and should be sacredly reserved
Tor the homes OF actual settlers; and we
pronounce against all further grants Of
these lands to corporations.
8. That adequate provisions should be
made by law for the protection Of those
persons engaged in mining and other hAZ.
ardous forms Of labor.
0. That tho producing, commercial, and
industrial interests Of the country should
have the best and cheapest modes Of
transportation possible, and while capital
invested IN such means of transit, whether
by railroad or otherwise, should be per.
mitted the right oil reasonable remuner.
alton, all abuses in their management,
excessive rates, and oppressive discrimlna'
tons against localities, persons, or inter.
csts should be corrected by law, and the
people protected from such wrongs, and
all improper and arbitrary use of the
growing power OF railroad and other cor.
porations.
Z. That we heartily applaud the active
measures Of the late Congress in ferret
ing out and exposing corruption; and we
have seen with profound regret, in the
Developments made there, the evidence
Of political and official corruption and
abuse Of responsible positions by men Of
all political parties TO further personal
ends; and VIC demGnd pure official con.
duct and the punishment Of unlaithful
public men who, having betrayed the
confidence freely extended them, shall
not by partisan step ofours be shielded
from tho disgrace Of their acts; and We
denounce all Credit Mobilier transactions,
whatever be their form.
s. That when retrenchment Is requir'
ed TO tighten the burden Of taxation, 10
continue the reduction OF the public debt.
The Increase Of salaries Is unwise and
that we condemn without reserve, voting
Ifor or receiving increased pay for services
already rendered and demand that the
proyisIons Of the late act Of Congress by
which salaries were increased, shall be
promptly and unanimously repealed.
o. That we cordially welcome TO our
shores, the oppressed Of all countries and
remembering with pleasure that adopted
fellow citizens have always proved loyal
10 the flag oi the Republic, We favor such
modification ot the naturalization laws
