The Republican State Convention of Illinois
assembled at Springfield on the 18th of June,
and nominated Thomas s. Ridgewav, of Gal
latin, for State Treasurer, and William b.
Powell, of Kane, for Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction. The currency question was
disposed of by the passage of the following
resolutions: That, as one of the conse-
quences of the late civil war, about 1882. O00,-
600 of Notwithstanding Treasury notes
were issued to and are now held by the people
as safe and convenient currency, it would
be unwise and inexpedient, in the present
financial condition of the people, to attempt
the policy of the immediate cancellation of
any portion of such Treasury notes. That
the laws for the establishment of national
banks having secured to the States and Terri
tories the best system of bank circulation
ever before offered to the people, its issuance
should be no longer confined to privileged
class, but should be free to all alike under
general and equal laws, the aggregate volume
of the currency to be regulated by the I'M
trammeled laws of trade. That we reaffirm
the declaration of the National Republican
Convention of 1872 in favor of q return to
specie payment at the earliest practicable day;
that we are opposed to any increase in the
amount of legal-tender notes, and favor the
gradual retirement of the same as the volume
of the national bank notes shall be increased.
The platform, apart from the finance ques-
ton. commends the measures passed by the
lower house of Congress, looking to the
cheapening and perfection of Interstate rail-
way transportation and the Improvement of
navigation at the mouth Of the Mississippi
river; advises an amendment to the Constitu-
ton providing for the election of President by
the people; urges the passage of the the Civil
Rights bill; opposes interference with the
liquor traffic, except so far as public peace re-
quires; discountenances railroad extortion
and also interference with railroad property;
and appeals to the past record Of the party as
a frr ,rof s,t,,
The Indiana Republican Convention as
