RESOLUTIONS AND PLATFORM.
/ Resolved By the Republicans Of the
Sirth Congressional district Of Mary
tnlad in convention assembled, That,
reaffirming our confidence in the
honesty, integrity and efficiency of
the Republican party, we call upon
the voters of this district to support
the nominee of this convention, be-
cause
First, The management of Ma
tional affairs at the hands Of the late
Democratic representatives has
shown the entire inability of that
party to administer the gov, rnment
faithfully and honestly.
Second, 1t is evident from the past
action of that party it is willing for
partisan purposes to embarraSS the
business interests and endanger the
peace and prosperity of the country
by the unnecessary and unwise agi-
tation of the question of the title of
the President to his Office.
Third, The Democratic party has
proved faithless to its pledges OF
economy and honest government,
and by its action in the present
House has subjected The coantry to
ridicule and modification.
We set forth the following as a
declaration of principles:
l. We reaffirm our devotion to the
cause of Republican free govern
ment, the perpetuity of the national
government and the equality of all
citizens before the law.
2. That we are in favor of equal
taxation, every one contributing his
proportion of taxes according to his
actual worth in real or personal prop
erty.
3. Believing that an educated and
enlightened citizenship is essential to
to the perpetuity of free institutions,
we are in favor of liberal mainte-
tenance of the public schools.
4. That we favor a tariff that will
protect our manufacturers in the pro-
duction of all articles of which the
raw material is produced and the la
Dor to manufacture the same found
in this country.
8. That in recognizing the necessi.
ty of an ample supply of reliable
paper money for the business pur-
poses of the nation, which currency,
by proper legislation. shall be made
of equal value with the gold dollar,
and we endorse the action of the
United States Senate in passing a
bill making greenbacks receivable
for all public dues, and denounce the
action of the House in refusing to
concur in said bill.
8. That one of the great national
dangers is the accumulation of innu-
merable Southern claims, which
threaten to double the national debt,
when passed by solid South con-
trolling a Democratic Congress
through its caucusses.
