Resolccd, 1st. That we again declare our ad-
| herence to the doctrines aud principles of the
Republican party, as maintained and vindicated
since its origin; as set forth in the National
platform, adopted at Philadelphia in 1872, and
as manifested in its wonderful work in preserving
tie Union, ato!ishi'tJ Sldoeyy, establishing en-
larged suffrage, eXtinguishing large portions of
the National debt, reducing taxation and pro-
noting universal prOsperity-and that, to secure
a future as honorable as the past has been, il
must continue without fear, favor or partiality
to demand economy, industry and honesty in
political affairs.
2d. That the National faith must be sacredly
maintained with its creditors.
Sd. That the Constitutional guarantee of po-
litical rights to all American citizens should be
scrupulously enforced.
4th. That the Republican party is pledged 10
the interests of labor, BY free schools and sound
industrial policy, based upon protective tariff,
through which alone high rates of wages can be
maintained, and the productions of the country
largely increased,

daily welcomed TO .he enjoyment of equal rights
and privileges with the native born-themsclvcs
deceudent from parents who were migrants to
our shores.

forcibly ousted the constituted authorities of the
State of Louisiana was the legitimate result of a
well organized and reasonable conspiracy, cow
ardly and cruelty executed. That the prompt
aclien of President Grant in enforcing the law,
by the employment. of the army and navy of the
United States to reinstate the Kellogg govern
ment-only in its capacity as the de tdcto govern
ment, without sustaining the Kellogg party, as u
pGTts, was not only wise and proper, but we'll
defined constitutional duty, and clearly the only
| course open for him.

Cabinet for the great and good work done by
them in the countrys behalf, since the Inaugural
| ton OF his administration.

which he has discharged his onorous duties as
| chairman of the Committee on Foreign Rela
| tions.
10th. That the great industry, the distng uish-
ed ability, the fidelity to duty, the unquestioned
and unquestionablc integrity, the upright life
