Platform.
The Democrats and Ltb.rsl Republicans
of Massachusetts, assem- bled in convention,
declare and affirm as the basis of their
action
First-We reiterate the declarations COM
prehensively made by the national conveu-
non at Cincinnati and Baltimore, in 1872,
federal constitution as full, tipal and per-
maneDt adjustment of the Political con-
truversies Incident to the ltte war
Second-We demand for the Union the
support in full rigor of ali its constitu-
tional powers as the supreme authority,
utterly repudiatng all claim of right by
any State to secede from the Union or null
lily its laws, and we demand for each
State, as equally inviolable, the right to
govern itself at its sovereign pleasure, sub
ject only to the limitations aud obligations
of the federal constitution.
Third-In the interests of public morals,
the nations credit and the common welfare
we oppose any further issue by the govern
ment of currency inconvertible with
gold-the wo' Ids recognized measure OF
value-and We favor a speedy return to
specie payment as essential to the revival
OF the commerce, business and credit of
the country, and to the welfare of the
lahoring masses.
Fourth-We arraign the Republican party
for its extrayags mt expenditure and profit
gata waste of the peoples money: tor its
corruption; for its peculatiOn; for its con-
tempt OF constitutional oblig atoms: for its
extortionate increase of sinrcures, and of
the salaries of our public officers; for it's
oppressive. unjust and defective system of
taxation, finance and currency, which have
degraded public and private morality, and
brought upon us the present depression in
the commercial and industri interests
of the. country for it's centraliza-
tion of power. and its encourage
ment Of monopolies and corporate cor
ruptlop; for its cost nuance of incompe-
tant and dishonest men in office, and for its
general mismansgement of both the Stats
aud federal governments. The platform
concludes: We take an honest pride in the
cordial and enthusiastic approval by the
people of the whnle'country, on the seven
teenth of June, 1875, of the policy of recon-
ciliation, peace and fraternity advocated by
the Democratic and Liberal Republican
party in 1872. We welcome with especial
satisfaction sat, the assurance that tnat policy
will be inaugurated by ths administration
to placed in power.
