cannot consent by silence on that point
that our attitude towards the present
national administration shall be mis-
understood or misinterpreted. Having
devoted our best abilities and efforts
to secure the elevation OF General
Rutherford b Hayes to the presidency,
| rs the representative of the republican
party and Its pronounced principles, IL
will be our highest pleasure to sustain
al his measures and policies that are ira
harmony with republican principles,
usagrs, and traditions. To take any
other course would, in our Judgment,
be Inconsistent with political good
| faith, and render US pemiss in duty
To expect more or less Of us now
would be to impugn our political in
tegrity and question our good sensc.
As republicans we shall favor aud ed
vocate all public improvements by
which the interests of com merce may
be promoted and strengthened. and
the resources Of the entire nation may
be developed into widespread prosper
ity. We shalt not contend for tariff
not for protection, but revenue. We
are in favor of demonstrating silver aud
making it legal tender OF equal value
With geld for ali dehss due the govern

| the issue at greenbacss backed by the
| national faith to an amount equal Ia
the wants OF business aud trade. and
which shall be received the same as
gold and silver for all dues TO the gov
eminent and individuals.
