lie, and stand by my record on inns SUBJECT
record all the laws of the United States ie-
lating to the payment of the pubic indebted
mess the LEGAL tender notes included-as con-
stitutinr pledge and moral obligation OF the
Government whic must, in good faith, be kept.
1t is my conviction that the feeling OF uncer-
tainty inseparable from an irredeemaoie paper
currency, with its fluctuation OF values, Is one
of the great obstacles TO L revival OF confidence
and business, and TO return OF prosperity
That uncertainty can be ended in but one way
the resumption of specie payments. But the
longer the instability connected with our pres
ent money system is permitted to continue, the
greater will be the injury inflicted upon our
economical interests and all classes OF society
II elected, shall approve every appropriate
measure to accom- plish the desired end, and
shall oppose any step backward
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The resolution with respect to the public
school system is one which should receive the
hearty support of the American people. Agi-
tation upon this subject is to be apprehended
until by constitutional amendment the schools
are placed beyond all danger of tcctarian con-
troll or interference. The Republican party Is
pledged to secure such an amendment
TIE SOUTH.
Ile resolution OF lIiC COHNGitAiou pt NV SUI
iect of the permanent pacifbstion OF the
country aud the complete protection OF all ITS
citizens in the free enjoyment of all their con
stitntional rights in timely and OF great i'm
nortancc. The condition of the Southern
States attracts tho attention and commands
the sympathy of the people OF the whole
Union. In their progressive recovery from
the effects of the war, the first necessity is an
intelligent and honest administration OF gov
ernment, which will protect all classes OF clti-
zens in all their political and private rights
What the South most needs is peace, and
peace depends upon the supremacy oil the laws.
There can be no enduring becaee if the constl-
tational rights of any portion of the people are
habitualy disregarded. division OF political
parties, resting merely upon the distinctions
of race or upon sectional lines, is always untor-
tunatc, and may be disastrous The welfare
of the South, alike with that of eveay other
part of the country depends upon the attract
ions il con offer to labor, to immigration and
to capital, but laborers will not 60, and capi-
tai will not be ventured, where the constitu-
ton and the laws are set at defiance, and dis
ERECTION, apprehension and alarm take the
place of PEE GLOWING and law>ablding social
life. Ali parts of the constitution are sacred,
and must be sacredly observed, the parts that
are new no less than the parts that are old.
The moral and national prosperity OF
the Sosthern States can be most etfectual>
" advanced by a hearty and generous rec
ignition of the rights of all, by all; recog-
milton without reserve or exception
With such recognition fully accorded 1t Will
be practicable to promote by the influence OF
all legitimate agencies of the general govern
ment the efforts of the people of those States
to obtain for themselves the blessing Of hon,
oot nj hla lnnal pnyprumpnts If elected.
| shall consider it not only my duty, but 1t
will be my ardent desire, to labor for the ats
tanment of this end Let me assure my
countrymen of the Southern States that if
shall be charged with the duty of organizing
an administration, it will be one which will re-
gard and cherish their truest interests, the
interests of the white and colored people,
both and equally, and which will put forth its
best efforts in behalf of civil policy which
will wipe out forever the distinction between
| North and South in onr common country.
CONCLUSION.
With civil service organ upon system
which will secure purity, experience, efficiency
and economy; q strict regard for the pubic
| welfare solely in appointment, and the speedy,
| thorough and unsparing prosecution and pun
| shment Of all public oiiceas who betray OF
| fetal trusts with sound currency with
education, unsectaran and free to all; with
simplicity and frugality in public and private
affairs, with fraternal spirit of harmony per~
vadng the people of all sections and classes,
we may reasonably hope that the second
| century of our existence as nation will, by
the blessing of God, be pre-eminent as an era
| of good feeling, and period of progress,
prosperity and happiness
| Very respectfully, your fellow-citizen,
