proval the substantial advance recently made TO
ward ward tne establishment of equal rights fo
women by the many important amendment,
eftected by Republican Legislatures in the laws
which concern the personal and property rela
tons of wives, mothers and widows and by tbI

II, The pledges which the Nation has given to
our soldiers and sailors must be fulfilled the
grateful people will always hold those who per-
lied their lives for the country's preservation in
| the kindest remembrance.
Is. We sincerely deprecate all sectional feeling
and tendencies; we therefore note with deep
soIcitude that the Democratic party counts as it's
chief hope Of success upon the electoral vote of
the united South, secured through the efforts of
| those who were recently arrayed against the Ma
ton; and We invoke the earnest attention Of the
country to the grave truth that a success thus
achleVed would reopen sectional strife and i'm
peril the National honor and human rights
16. We charge the Democratic party as being
the same in character and spirit as when it SYM
| pathlzed with treason; with making its control
| OF the House Of Representatives the triumph and
the opportunity of the Nations recent foes; with
asserting and applauding in the National Capitol
the sentiments OF unrepentant rebellion; with
sending Union soldiers to the rear, and promot-
ing Confederate soldiers to the front; with de.
iberately proposing to repudiate the plighted
|
| false and imbecile; with overshadowing the ends
OF Justice by its partisan mismanagement and
obstruction 2Ir OF Investigation; with proving
ency in the Lower House of Congress, utterly in
competent to administer the Government. We
warn warn the country against trusting party thus
alike unworthy, rccreant and incapable.
II. The National Administration merits COM
mendation for its honorable work in the manage
ment Of domestic and foreign affairs, and Presi-
dent Grant deserves the continued and hearty
the American UeODIp
Ism and his eminent services in war and in peace
