Republican party has SO met the vital is-
sues Of the past twelve years asto secure
the support oi vast prep0nderance oil the
patriotism and intelligence OF the nation,
It has fairly won for lEselFt the title Of being

ual remedy OF the existing evils than
would be possible through any existing
opposing party, or any party yet to be
formed.
ReS0lred, That the Republican party is
responsible only for such measures as 1t
endorses and approves, or for an honest
and faithful administration OF the govern

for individual honesty in all the cases of
those they promote 10 office; yet when
such are favored; and arc unfsiIhful or
corrupt, they should be exposed, dismiss
ed from public service and banlshed. We
denounce ALL official frauds and corrupt
legislation, whether In land grants and
subsidies 10 railroads, in Credit Mobilier,
or in the management OF the revenue.
Res0loed, That we disapprove and con-
demn the recent measure by which Con.

the provisions OF the act by which Con.
gressional salaries were increased shall be
promptly and Internationally repealed.

tIonal constitution which shall forever
prohibit any Congress from increasing It's

greed and oppression Of grasping mOnopo-
lies. We urgently recommend what has

report the facts In relation thereto, and
