| ity connected with our present money system
, is permitted TO continue, the greater will be
the injury inflicted upon our economical inter-
ests and all classes Of society. II elected shs II
approve every appropriate measure to accom-
plish the desired end, and shall oppose any step
backward.
The resolution with respect TO the psblic
school system is one which should receive the
hearty support OF the American people. Agi-
tation upon this subject is to be appreheuded
until by constitutional amendment tbs schools
ARE placed ut bsy aud all danger OF sectional
control or interference are passed. The Repub
lican party,s pledged TO secure such an amend
ment.
The resolution of the convention on the sub
ject OF the permanent pacification Of the coun-
try and the complete protect ION of all ITS cili-
zeas in the full enjoyment Of all then constltu-
tional rights is timely aud Of great impoi tsnee.
The condition Of the Southern state. attracts
the attention sni commands the sympathy Of
the people of the whole UhOn. In their
progressive recovery from the effects OF the
war their first necessity j. an intelligent aud
honest administration Of the government which
VIII protect ~! classes OF citizens In all their
political and private rights. What the South
most Decds i peace" and peace depend,
upon the supremacy of law. There can be no
enduring peace in the constitutional rights Uf
any proportion Of the people are hsbiiualy
disre garded A division OF political parties
resting merely upon distinction, of race
upon sections lines l. always unfortunate and
may beidisastrous. The welfare o. the South,
slike with that of every part Of the country.
depends upon the attractions il esn offer TO
labor. TO immigration aud to capital. But
laborers will not go and capital will not be
Invested where the constitution and the laws
are set st defiance. and distraction, sppr hem
sion and alarm take the place Of peace lowing
aud law-sbiding social life. All parts OF the
constitution src sacred and must b. saeredly
observed, the parts which are new no less than
the parts that are old. The moral and mater
isl prosperity Of the Southern States can be
more effectuslly advanced by 4 hearty and
generous recognition Of the rights of all BY all;
recognition without reserve or exception
with such n recognition fully accorded 1t will

all legitimate agencies of the general COVER
meni the efforts Of the people of these states
to obtain for themselves the blessings Of
honest and capable local government.
IL elected a | shall consider II not only my
duty, but il will be my ardent desire to labor
for the attainment of this end let me
sSre my contryman Of the Southern states
that IL shall BE- charged with the duty OF
organizing an administrator VIII b. one
which Will regard and cherish their ,ruest
Interests the inte rests OF the white and OF the
colored people both and equally and which
Will put forth its best efforts IN behalf Of a
evil policy which will wipe out forever the
distinction between the North AMI South in
our common country.
With a civil service organized upon system
which will secure purity, experience, efficiency
snd economy, strict regard for the public
welfare solely in appointment aud the speedy.
thorough and unsparing prosecution and pun
ishment Of all public officer who betray Off
