Keyes resigned the Craftsmanship of the State
Committee, and Horace Rublee was chosen to
| fill the vacancy. The following platform was
unanimously adopted:
That we reaffrm the principles which have guided
| the national Republican party hitherto.
That declare it to be the steadfast purpose of
the Republicans of Wisconsin to cooperate with all
good citizens in maintaining in letter and spirit the
/ constitutional amendments framed to secure equal
rights and protection to all, in maintaining the
| plighted faith of the nation and in promoting
| forms, to secure economy and efficiency in every
| branch of the Government.
That we most earnestly desire the paciication of
| the Southern section of our Union and its speedy
return to national prosperity. We are mindful that
this can be gained only by obedience to law by pro-
lection to all in every right and by careful regard
for that class of citizens least able to protect
themselves In the efforts of the present national
, administration to restore peace and concord
i to the South, we recognize magnanmous
purpose to remove every excuse for lawessness and
|
duly appreciated and that the reciprocal pledges
made by prominent citizens and officials of the
South will be faithfully kept We shall rejoice if
the Southern policy of the President produces the
hoped-for results of order and peace; but if these
results shall not follow this experiment we demand
that other measures be adopted which shall secure
to all citizens, without distinction of Color
the fullest enjoyment OF their constitutional rights
| That the determination of the National Executive
to render the civil service efficient and less OBJ
noxious to criticism meets approval. The per-
lection Of our system Of government in every detail
Of administration is of the most important du-
ties of the hour AL efforts in that direction should
be fairly considered and neither hastily approved
| nor condemned.
That in the purposes and patriotism of President
Hayes we declare our mistaken confidence.
That the attention of Congress is called to the ne
cessity of such modification of the Patent laws as
shall, while affording adequate recompense to the
inventor, at the same time secure the people from
undue exaction for the of patented articles.
That rejoice that the fidelity of the Republican
party in upholding the national credit has brought
our currency so near the point of resumption of
specie payment. We hold that the silver dollar
should be restored to its former place as money and
made legal tender for the payment of debts except
where otherwise distinctly provided by law, with
the coinage regulated to maintain equality of
/ value and preserve the harmonious circulation of
gold silver and legal notes money.
That, while we earnestly condemn all violence,
outlawry, and mob rule, yet the Republican party
expresses its heartest sympathy with the condition
of the workingmen who are willing to work but are

should be called to the grave Importance of the labor
question: and the most careful consideration should
be given to the same by Federal and State legsla-
ton.
That we oppose any further bestowal of public
lands upon railroad corporations, and urge the es-
tablishment of such Government regulations over
Interstate railroads their importance as national
highways and the interest of the people demand.
That we congratulate the people of Wisconsin
that during the many years in which the Repub-
ican party has been in the ascendency no stain has
been found upon the record in this State, and,
therefore, confidently point to its whole history and
especially to the wise and economical administra-
ton of Gov. Harrison Ludngton, as the best evi
dence and guaranty of it's intentions and purposes
for the future. -

of the Democratic candidates. and, while in the high
interest Of public tranquility we submit to the a1-

part. We challenge for it the opprobr1um of his
