Eighth. The revenue necessary fer
cnrrent expenditures and the obilga-
flons of the public debt must be large
ly derived from duties on inporta-
tons. which. 20 far q possible, should

Iuand that the national domain be &C.

ognizes with approval the substantial
advance recently made toward the IS
tabIishment of equal rights for women,
by the many important amendments
effected by Republican Legislatures IN
the laws which concern the personal
and property relations OF the wives,
mothers and widows, and by the ap-
pointment and election Of women to

Fifteenth We sincerely deprecate
all sectional feeling and tendencies
We therefore note, with deep solitude,
that the Democratic party counts, as
| its chief hope OF success, upon the eiec-
| t0ral vote OF a united South, secured
| through the efforts of those who were
| recently arrayed against the nation,
| and we invoke the earnest attention of
| the country TO the grave truth that a
4 snceess thus achieved would reopen
sectional strife and imperil national
honor and human rights.
Sixteenth. We charge the Demo
cratic party as being the same in char
acter and spirit as when it sympathiZed
with treason; with making its control
of the House of Representatives the
triumph and the opportunity of the
nations recent foes; with reasserting
and applanding in the National Capi-
tol the sentiments of unrepented re-
beliion; with sending Union soldiers 70
the rear and promoting Confederate
soldiers to the front; with deliberately
proposing to repudiate the plighted
faith of the government; with being
equally false and imbecile upon the
overshadowiDg financial question; with
thwarting the ends of justice by its
partisan mismanagement and obstruc-
ton of investigation; with providing
itself, through the period of its ascend
ancy in the lower House of Congress,
utterly incompetent TO administer the
government. We warn the country
against trusting a party thus alike
unworthy, recreant and incapable.
Cheers.
Seventeenth The National Admin
istration merits commendatiOn for its
honorable work in the management of
domestic and foreign affairs, and Pres
ident Grant deserves the continuedand
hearty gratitude of the American peo-
pie for his patriotism. and his immense
services in war and in peace. Cheers.
That we present as cur candidate for
President and Vice President of the
United States. two distinguished states
men of eminent ability and character.
and conspicuously fitted for those two
high offices. We confidently appeal
to the American people TO entrust the
administration of their public affairs
TO Rutherford B. Hayes and William
4. Wheeler.
