The Committee on Platform rePoHe'
the following resolutions, which weF
adopted unanimously:
We, the Republicans OF Missouri in con
yeution assembled, resolve:
! lst, That the Republican party, inspiret
hy its mast history and achievements, re
naws It's allegiance to the high principle:
which have guided it thus far, and having
saved the nations existence, 1t nov
pledges itself to fulfill all promises made
when assaulted By treason and rebellion
to the end that the nations honor be pre-
served.
and legal tender notes issued under the
necessities OF the Rebellion are sacred
debts Of the nation, TO be paid to the Last
dollar in the universally recognized stand
ard money; that the only money recog'
nized in the business exchange OF the
world is gold and silver coin OF weight and
fneaess. which give it universal currency
and we demand that all our currency shall
AT all times be convertible into coin at the
will of the holder, and that coin and cur:
rencv shall be kept at par with the gold
standard OF the world.
Sd. We declare that the interests OF cap
;,oI and labor are so linked together that
ali action. hostile to the one, must be IN.
unions 10 the other, and We condemn all
ntternpts 10 arrav one against the other as
teniing TO establish enmities and preJu-
dices between the employer and emplo?ee;
an. We demand full protection for all
ri+izens Of every race and color in every
nart of the United States in the full exer.
tisa and endowment Of all their constitu-
tional civil and political rights and privil'
epas We insist and demand that there
snail never be any payment, diTeGuy or
indirectly, OF what are called reoel Claims
and we demand that all legitimate expen-
ses of the government shall be met larry
and honesty by timely aud adequate ap
St6. Ne arraign the Democratic party
as constan: disturbersof public tranquility,
and confidence; as the Tanton Toe ot
nnhlic security, as constantly attempting
10 weaken the power and authority On the
,ation by crippling the army in time oi
uncertainty and danger. We call atten'
ZION 10 The fact that it is dependent upon
n solid South and is thereby at all times
snbseryiant to all sectional demands; that
Il has never ceased to asgravate the trou-
bIaS of the country bv niischievous aSita-
t;on throughout the entire period Of su'
nrsmacyin 1 the House OF Representatives.
6th. I've arraign itas taithless TO the M.
t;onal honor and the CHIEF support OF Wild
schemes OF initiation, reputation and ut
ter financial disorder which lmpeHl the
nnblic credit and business security, anu we
believe and declare that its further success
wonld be a national calamity. We par:
t;rnlarly arraign the Democratic party oi
Wissouri as responsible for . criminal dis
regard OF the Constitution OF the Sta1e;
whereby over half a million dollars oi
money which had been collected and paid
into the treasury Of the state, has been
stolen and for the loss otwhieh the people
Of the State must be again taxed TO make
good. II is our belief that since the party
came into power it has manufactured ana
supported q ring OF plunderers who have
snbsisted and iattened upon the revenue
paid by the people, and It has so lar made
n6 efforts to punish them, and While We
would leave ali questions OF paying mum
cinal debts to the courts and 10 the people
interested. we charge the Democracy OF the
STATE with a covert design OF attacking the
national authority in it, judiciary depart
ment and encouraging the doctrine OF null:
lification under the speciOuS pretense OF
protecting the rights OF people whom It's
own trusted officers are engaged at the
same time in robbing.
7th. We favor liberal system OF full
and .srictiy secular education for all the
children Of the State.
Sth. We are opposed to any repeal or
notification oft Resumption Act where
BY its efficiency will be in the least I'M;
paired. We believe that the era OF hard
times is rapidly passing away, and per
ioi Of national and individual prosperity
is beginning to dawn upon the country
and for this promise OF a.return OF better
times-we feel indebted TO the firmness,
honesty and purity OF the present. Admin

was The sole organized political protection

citizens of whatever party names LaI!led
under its standard in defense OF the u mon,

only efficient bulwark against national
reputation and disgrace. and it again in
