REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The following is the platform ado pied
by the Republican State Convention held
at Topeka, August 18th 1876:
The representatives of the Republican
party of Kansas, in convention assembled
renew the pledge of their devotion to that
grand political organization under whose
auspice so many triumphs have been
secured, and which, in war and in peace
has faithfully battled for those cardinal
principles which distinguish free govern
mcnts. As a further pledge of the fdei
ity of the Republicans of Kansas il is
hereby
Rrsolro,l. That the platform Of p.inci.
Piles laid down by the National Cyisre,,.
ton ut Cincinnati, meets with our hear
ty and enthusiastic endorsement, and il
is our earnest belief that in their prac,i-
cal application of the affairs of govern
ment lies the surest hope of reform, a
faithful discharge of honorable obliga-
tions, and stcadfast adherence to the
fundamental doctrines established by the
results of the war, and the vital legisla
tion incident thereto.
Resoired, That in Rutherford b. Hayes
and William A. Wheeler. our candidates
for President and Vice President of the
United States, we recognize statesmen of
tried experience, commanding ability.
and spotless integrity; their letters OF
acceptance commend them to all sincere
lovers of reform and pledge to SUCH
reformatory work faith which has never
yet been violated or impugned.

apprehension the return of the Demo
cratic party to power as a practical sur
render of that ascendency of liberty
which was secured by so much blood and
treasure, and welcome to the control of
Government of the malign influences
which for four years sought its overthrow
in the field.
4. RESOLVED, That in the administration
of both the National and State govern.
ments we are in favor of the mos. rigid
economy and the strictest accountability
and that in view of the depression OF the
times, it is peculiarly incumbent upon
us to husband our resources and to post
pone such public enterprises of costly
character as are not absolutely essential
to our immediate wants, to q season of
renewed prosperity.
5. Resolved, That in George 7. Anthony
our nominee for Governor, we recognize
a man of pre-eminent fitness for the sta
tion-earnest, capable, and of unques-
toned integrity tried in positions of
trust, no just reproach has ever reached
him; and we rely upon his vigor and
eloqpence for a substantial increase to
our assured overwhelming majority. His
on the ticket are men whom
the ReT ublicans of Kansas will delight
10 honor. and by whom their several
trusts will be faithfully administered.
6. RESOLVED, That we invite the co.ope-
ration of all men, whether "Liberal or
independent" to whom "reform" is
omething more than an empty name.
'ffering them the guarantee of candidates
National and State, whose character and
history are an unqualified assurance that
lnder their guidance every vital reform
will be advanced by their efforts and
influence.

Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to
its youthful color.
1t removes Ill eruptions, itching

BY its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
