The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1876-06-23

Fourteenth---The pledges which the nation
has given to our soldiers and sailors must be.
fulfilled. The grateful people will ALWAYS
hold those who periled their lives for the
| country's preservation i'll the kindest rernem-
brance
Fitteenth---We sincerely deprecate all Sec
tional feeling We therefore note with deep
solicitude that the democratic party counts,
as its chief hope of success, upon the elecoral
| vote OF the 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 success thus achieved would reopen
| sectional strife, and imperil the national
| honor and human rights
| SlXteenth-We charge the Democratic
| party with being the same in character and
spirit rs when it sympathized with treason;
with making its control of the House OF Rep
resentatlves the triumph and the opportunity
| OF the nations recent foes; with reasserting
ana applauding III the national capitol the
senllments OF unrepented rebellion; with
sending Union soldiers to the rear and pro-
noting confederate soldiers to the front
with deliberately proposing to repudiate the
| pllghted faith oil the government I; with being
equally false and imbecile upon the over
shadowlng questions of the day with defeat
| ing the ends OF justice by its partisan misman-
| agement and the obstruction of investigation;
with proving itself through the period OF its
| ascendancy in the lower house of Congress
utterly incompetent to administer the govern
ment. We warn the country against trusting
a party thus alike unworthy, recreant andi in
| capable.
Seventeenth-the administration merits
| communication for its honorable work in the
management of domestic and foreign affairs.
and President Grant deserves the continued
and hearty gratitude of the American people
Tor his patriotism and his services in war and
III peace.
AMENDMENTS PROPOSED
motion was made to strike out the section
| referring to Chinese immigration. Mr.. Curtis,
amid much applause, arose and urged that at
the beginning OF new century the Republi-
cans OF America should not depart from the
principles OF the declaration otindependence,

| against monaghan immigration would in
| yolve
| Mr.. Jones, Of Nevada, said the immigration
OF these people degrades character, they
| neither recognize honesty in man nor virtue
| among women. They contribute nothing to
character nor schools, and it is believed the
coolies are imported by masters as servie
| laborers.
By vote of 3l5 to $50 the motion to strike
| out was lost
A minority report of the committee was
made substituting for the financial resolution
a declaration that the day of specie resump-
| ton, as fixed by law, shalt not be postponed
The substitute was voted down, and the plat
| form adopted.
