THE PLATFORM.
The Committee on Resolutions report
ed very long platform, OF which the
following is the substance:
FirstSThat as the preservation Of the
Union was accomplished by tho Repnb.
lican party, the perpetuation' OF our
existence as a nation and the main
tenance Of our liberties depends on the
continuance in power Of the Republican
party.
Second-That wc::should regard !he elec-
ton Of Samuel ]. Tildon TO the Presidency
Of the United States national calamity
practically reopening the questions SET
lied by the war, by placing in power one
whose political record identities him
with those who upheld the doctrines oil
secession, and are opposed to co-erciye
measures to preserve the Union.
Third-That the assumption by the
Democratic national platform and the
letters OF its candidates that the Demo
cratic party is the party Of reform, is a
false and brazen pretense Of virtue which
Il does not possess, as is shown by the
past history Of that party, and especially
illustrated by the nomination oi s. J. Til
den, who the resolution proceeds 10 charge
at length with devotion TO railroad COM
binations and acquiring wealth by rail-
road stocks and by association with Tweed
and ballot box stuffing, &c.
n bFourth-That true reform and honest
administration Of the government can be
looked for at only at the hands OF the
Republican party which has the disposi-
ton and courage to punish the unworthy
members OF the party.
Fifth-Calls for achange OF administra-
ton in this State that the immigration
which was checked by accession Of the
Democracy TO power, may be restored,
investments Of capital made safe and the
development OF the State secured.
The SIKH pledges the party to the sup
port Of the public school system and op:
poses every obstacle TO its success and
usefulness.
The seventh heartily approves the Ma
tional, platform adopted at Cincinnati,
extols Hayes and Wheeler, and calls on
citizens, without regard to party atiilia-
tions, 10 rally 10 their support.
The following amendment or addition
to the platform was adopted:
Resolved, That while the mighty adj
yancement toward perfection Of human
rights won by soldiers and patriots
OF the lUnion will be yigilantly
guarded, The Republican party stands
ever ready TO welcome 10 full
fellowship all persons who have
ever been in the council or camp Of the
rebellion upon the single condition Of
belief in and support Of the Republican
principle that the valor and heroism
| Of Americans whether borne on right or
wrong Judgment shall be honored by a
patriotic devotion to nation whose
foundation was laid by our common
fathers.
