The Republican party appeals with
pride and confidence 10 It's past history in
proof Of fidelity TO It's principles and its
consistent discharge ot duty TO the coun-
Try In peace and war. These principles
and the measures growing out OF them
have been stamped with public approval,
and there isno taint Of suspicion resting
on its honor as o party. It h9s so con-
Quoted public aff4irs that at the last Presi.
dental election one Of It's policy was ac-
cepted as the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency, thereby leaving that party
no other hope ofiurther success than may
be found In return to ita original and
abandoned organization, or in neg.
atiye hostility to the measures Il
has solemnly approved. It recognizes
the fact that diversities Of individual
opinion exist in reference to the details Of
public policy, and does not seek or expect
precise agreement among its members.
In all such details unity In fundamental
principles Is all that can reasonably be
expected In country like this, where the
people are capable ol intelligent thoughts.
Unlike the Democratic party, it LAYS no
claims to political intallibility; but It does
claim that 1t has shown itself both ready
and competent 10 resist all wrong and
oppression, TO restrain injustice, 10 re-
move the public ills when they are known
to exist, To condemn the conduct Of
laithless and dishonest public agents, and
to detect and expose abuses In the ad.
miDtstratiVe government, even when prac.
ttsed by Its professed supporters, 1T has
never tailed In the work OF reform when
shown to be necessary. No offender de-
tected In the corruptlons has escaped its
condemnation, no matter what party SER
vices he may have rendered. It has never
endeavored to defeat tho public will,
but as regards the people and not mere
party organisation as the primary source
Of sll political power, by the Credit
Mobilier investigation, It's repeal OF the
salary grab, by the abolition Of the cor.
rupting moiety system and Of the San.
born contract, It has shown how readily
It pays obedience to the public Judgment
by its scorching investigation into abuses
In the District Of Columbia, and Its prompt
condemnation Of administrative officers;
1t has demonstrated It's unabted hostility
to the demorallzlng doctrine, that 10 the
victors belong the spoils of office; and
having thus secured record which defles
impeachment, and brought the country
TO ils present condition OF peace and pros.
perity by measures which no party Is
reckless enough to assail. 1t has left
no practical differences unsettled except
on q mere question oil administrative
policy, and yet 1t Is a progressive party,
welded 10 no class and the especial in.
terests Of no class, but as the party Of the
people, 1t points It's policy to each step in
the progress oi those Developments which
work the advancement Of our prosperity.
The Republicans Of Indiana, therefore,
assembled In State Convention, do hereby
declare their unchangeable determination
to adhere 10 all the fundamental priciples
Of the Republican party in SO lar as
the future condition Of the country shall
require their enforcement. As the Union
remains unbroken and the people Of all
sections arc again bound together as
brethren by common desire and under q
common flag, we favor such measures as
shall develop the material resources of
every portion Of II and secure, to all Of
every class and condition full protection
In all just rights Of person and property,
remove all'the disabilities OF The past,
and perpetuate the nation as tho model
Republic Of the world. We recognize
that as the true policy Of the govern
ment which shall harmonize all diyersi.
fed interests and pursuits necessarily ex-
listing in a country Of such vast extent as
ours, and as this can be done only by 90
directing legislation as to secure Just pro.
lection and reward to every branch OF
industry, we are in favor Of giving pre-
cedence TO those measures which shall
recognize the agricultural and mechanic
cal pursuits sS entitled to the amplest
protection and fullest development; Of
putting stop 10 the large grants Of the
public domain to railroad corporations,
and reserying It Tor settlement and culti-
walton; Of Improving the navigation
Of our great inland rivers, and Of &c.
curing cheap transportation and profitable
market for products Of agricultural and
manufacturing labor, Of encouraging such
manufactures as shall bring the producer
and the consumer In the neighborhood Of
each other, and thus to establish mutual
