The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1878-06-27

!, The Iowa Republican State convention
last week passed the good, oldfashioned
Republican resolutions, which will com
mand the usual 10000 majority in that
glorious State. Read, and compare them
with Dicks miserable, emasculated abor-
ton which we published last week:
l. The United States are a nation, not
league. Both State and national gov
ernments should give ample and COM
plete protection to its citizens either at
home or abroad.
g Against the assaults of traitors and
rebels, that these truths may be fully
reached, the Republican party of Iowa
demands that every qualified elector in
every State, South and North, Democrat
or Republican, black or white, shall be
permitted, undisturbed by force and un-
awed by fear, to vote at all elections, at
the place prescribed by law and nowhere
else, just once and no more than once,
and that every vote so cast shall be hon
estly counted and that every person
chosen by such votes to any office shall
| be freely inducted into it and effectively
supported in the discharge of its duties,
and every well-informed person knows
and honest administration as are herein
demanded, at least FIVE of the South hern
States are Republican by large MAORI
ties, and that they are now in the hands
of the Democratic party, solely through
force fraud, intimidation, and failure to
enforce the principles herein set forth
g. Permanent pacifcaton of the South
ern section of the Union, and complete
protection of all its citizens in all their
civil, political, personal, and property
rights, is a duty to which the Republican
party stands sacredly pledged. In order
to redeem this pledge it placed recent |
amendments in the Constitution of the
United States, and upon the righteous |
basis of said amendments it will go for
ward in the work of pacifcation until
peace shall come through right doing,
and contentment through Justice.
f. The new Democratic dogma of home
rule, which seeks to shut out from par
ticipation in political affairs of the South
ern States all citizens who oppose the
Democratic party, and are not natives of
said States and in obedience to the
spirit of which every man from the
North of Republican sentiments is term
ed carpet bagger, is hereby denounced
as the worst phase of State rights yet
developed; and we demand for the peo-
pie of Iowa absolute freedom to go
they may please within
the limits of the nation, with perfect en-
oyment of their rights as citizens to I
litter their sentiments, by speech or
press, upon all subjects touching their
interests and all matters Of public con-
,ern.
5. The armed conflict between traitors
md rebels, who sought to destroy the re-
public, and the patriots who defended it,
md preserved it, was more than mere
rial of physical force between Greeks
was struggle of right against wrong;
If true civilization against false one
Whoever regards Republican and Demo
ratio parties from any other standpoint
han this fails to understand their char
Lcter. ]
g. Soldiers who fought the nations :
,attles are entitled to especial credit and
lonor, and discredit is due in like degree
o traitors and rebels who sought to de-
troy it.
7. The Republican party opposes all 4
awlessness in whatever form.
s. The wisdom and financial policy of
he party is evident from its results in =
PRACTICAL resumption, already accomplish |
ID, refunding the national credit; and
my change in the policy is denounced as
Wholly evil and injurious.
9. Organized raid on the Treasury to
ecure payment of rebel war claims is a
impudence, and present +
LANCER.
10. A tariff wisely adjusted for revenue
IL. The Republican party challenge L
crutiny as to the administration of
unds, and the percentage of loss under 5
is reign has been less than can be shown
" any other political party that ever .
xisted .
r. The Presidential title was definite
y and finally settled by the Forty fourth S
congress, and any attempt to reopen it 7
dangerous, illegal, and unconstitu-
ional, and the Republican party of Iowa
will resist all efforts not founded on the :
Constitution and existing laws to dis
lace the present possession of said title; a
nd it is source of sincere congratula-
ion that the firm attitude assumed by
he Republican party of the country in C
his regard, forced majority of the
Democratic members of the House of
to disavow the real but
overt purpose of the socalled Potter
Investigation.
13. The efforts of the Democratic party l
n Congress TO cripple the army and navy l
re earnestly condemned, as being in r
pired wholly or in part by officers who :
in the late rebellion.
IA. Disapproval of any interference {
vitn the right and duty of good citizens S
o use their best efforts in party caucus, S
,arty convention, and at the polls to :
ecure the nomination and election of
good men.
15 Personal temperance is most COM
nendable, and the present active move ,
nent throughout Iowa has our profound
aspect, sympathy, and approval.
16. Rigid economy is demanded in
,very department of the public service; l
eduction of expenses wherever possible; t
eduction of taxation, and efficient adj
of office.
II. Honesty and efficiency in public
md fraud wherever found
