REMARKS ny Mr.. PiERcE, OF MAssAcnrsETTs
Mr. pIKGcE said:-Mr President and gentlemen of
the Convention, cesrc 10 move an Amendment TO the
plat form which has been offered and to make few
remarks in support Of that amendment move to
srikc out what appears upon the eleventh page In
relation to Monaghan immigration (Appiause.) The
republican party this Centennial year Is twenty
years old and meets today tor tho sixth timc In ma

ON the praries OF Illinois, Abraham Lincoln met his
great antagonist on this ground:-"fhat nowhere In

the Declaration OF Independence; dcnounce II as con-
trary TO the great law OF Christian life which strictly
procaims that there is no distinction between Jew ana
