,datns, pledging themsel Yea to the platform
and to- actiyo exef.ions for sucoess in the
coming campaign. st
s. fhe convention throughout was harmonious
and its| action; we think, meets the approbau
ition Of, thepeople from the mountains to the
seaboard. The platform and resolutions are
broad and liberal, and sofTors equal rights and
equal protection to mon Of oil races and par
ties: The great aim Of the party is declared
to be continued retrenohment and reform, and
proposes If continued in power to encourage
honest and economical government and to
foster whatever is promotiye. Of the general
welfare and prosperity Of tho people. All
fusion and independent movements are de-
noGnoed, immigration is encouraged and the
revenue troubles of the upper counties are
deplored and an earnest appeal made to tho
President for, general amnesty, and to Con-
gress for suoh notifications Of the present law
as will bear equally and justly upon all SEQ :.
tions of tho General Government.
We now have State ticket and platform
of principles to which no reasonable obico-
tion can be urged, and we trust to see it res
oeive the hearty and undivided support of oil
good citizens in November. While our can
didates and platform are unobjeotionable, our
people should not abato any of the energy
and interest which won success in 1876. Our
greatest danger is feeling Of security: Let
no one for moment suffer this feeling to
possess him. We must work to win, and to
give US permanent victory our efforts should
be to secure q majority which will nut a
quietus on all future opposition.
