and we call upon the voters of this com
monwealth to unite with us in securing
these desired results. N9iF1ifs
/ rs THE PUBLIC DEBT.
The Republican party Of Virginia, il
common with the national Republican par
| ty, is opposed to all forms Of Reputation, ant
| favor such financial policy as shall tend t.
the payment Of the pubic 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 thai
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 'sfunding bilp' as
mpolitic, unjust and oppressive, and en-
acted solely in the interest Of bondholders,
regardless of the condition of the state re-
sources; and we are in favor of and
demand the submission of the question of
tho financial obligation of West Virginia to
Virginia to the supreme court of the United
States for decision.
MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT. 2
We are in favor of the development
of the material resources of our state,
which, urder the rule of the Conservative
party and its predecessors, have lain DOR
mant. The mines of coal, iron and other
minerals, 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
of the greatest manufacturing states in the
Union. To this end, we are in favor of
such liberal legislation as shall tend to en-
courge the investment Of capital in mining
and manufacturing operations, and Of gem
eral laws of incorporation, together with
such liberal spirit on the part of our peo-
pie as shall invite men of enterprise to
come and dwell among us.
IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF
. i9t- M JUSTICE. gsi
We are in favor Of reform in the
Of Justice in this state, and
an enforcement of the state constitution ia |
This respect, which will secure impartial
Justice to all, irrespective of race, color,
or political sentiment. ai
We favor the election Of the president,
vice. president, and all other officers Of the
government, as far as possible, lby the de
rect vote of the people.
ARBITRATION.
We approve and endorse the noble |
md humane policy inaugurated by Gene |
al Grants administration, whereby all |
disputes shall be made the |
'ubject of arbitration, thereby preventing |
he dread havoc Of war.
FEDERAL COURTS OPEN TO ALL.
The Federal courts should be accessible |
n all the states, to all citizens on appeal |
or redress of wrongs or protection of |
1ghts, in cases, where, upon a proper
howing, equity demands it. q
REFORM IN STATE LAWS.
We demand reform in state laws in
rider TO secure fair elections, by the
BOLTON of partisan supervisors, TO enable
very voter to exercise the right of sui.
rage according to the dictates Of his own
onScience.
