THE PLATFORM.
The Republicans of Michigan after twenty
years of unbroken control of the State govern
menu IN all It's departments, invite inc most
rlgld scrutiny into the manner IN which their
great responsibilities have been discharged. and
they point with satisfaction and pride to that
faithful regard which has been evinced by the
State administration for the happiness and Sc
curity of citizens, the prosperity of the
commonwealth, and the maintenance of the
| public faith.
| Resolved, That while we entertain an I'M
doubted faith that in the honest .dgment Of
mankind the past record of the Republican
| party will furnish both in its patriotism and
| achievements, some of the most illustrious
pages in our national history, we pledge to the
| future and unfaltering fidelity to the just
| and humane principles which in times or great
public extremity, inspired and created it. We
recognize among the sacred obligations of a
| government on these principles, the duty of
| securing to all its citizens's free and uutram-
| meled exercise of the right of suffrage, and of
| protecting every man and woman from whom
it claims allegiance in the peaceable pursuit of
an honest life, by every legitimate means
within its reach.
| Resolved, That congratulate fellow
| citizens on the unmistakable evidence, ap-
| parent in SO many directions, that the business
| interests of the country recovering from
| the long depression brought on by over trading
| and excessive speculation, and on the certainty
| that this recovery is to be made enduring by
| the resuT ption of specie payments, now hap
| PLY within Immediate reach and certain to be
| or commerce; that IN financial as IN other
matters the world is governed too much and
| the pressing need of the time is stability upon
| which to build confidence, allowing the natural
| laws Of trade to assume their healthful opera
| tiOns, and that in common with the best intel
ligence of all parties, we rejoice in the early
| adjournment of Congress and the respite it viii
| afford from the reckless and mischievous
schemes of ignorant legislators, made formid-
| able by the despotisms of
We denounee Republication in every disguise
We regard the plighted faith of the COM
munity binding upon all Its members, and
| failure to fulfill public obligation as stain
upon both public and private honor.
| We insist that the debt of the nation shall be
| paid with the same fairness and integrity with
which man seeks pay for his individual debt,
| We assert that no prosperity can be real or
durable that is founded on fictitious standard );
| that the status of paper currency, whether
issued by the government banks is derived
| from its promise to pay and the credit tina.
| promise is worth; that the full benefits of such
| currency cannot be realized unless it is con-
vertible on demand into gold and silver; that
| circulation of paper and coin. interchangeable
| at par and at the will of the holder, has been
| proved by experience to be the best known to-
| commerce; that this country is too great to
submit to subordinate place among the COM
mercial nations, and its people too honest to
| be content with unredeemed and irredecmablo
|
clashes and every honest worklnSman, we de-
mand currency that is not only worth its face
| value all over tie union. but will nmand the
respect recognition and its full value in every
| market in the world.
ResOlyed, That we view with apprehension
! the spread of opinions and the growth of sentl-
ments as embodied and proclaimed in the plat
forms, resolutions, publications and speeches
of the so-caled national greenback party and
the various socialistic and communistic organ
izations and their advocates throughout ths
land which, if adopted, the policy of the
government, must bring disaster and ruin to
business discrcdit and dishonor upon the
nation, and tend in high degree to subvert
many of those princi pies which we regard as
Fundamental to the structure and support Of
free government and the Republican party
will meet all these doctrines and tendencies
with the most prompt, vigorous and uncom-
promising opposition.
Resolved, That the question of the election
of the present incumbents of the Office OF
President and Vice President, was finally set
tied by the Forty-fourth Congress, and that
any attempt to reopen it on any pretense what
ever, is fraught with danger to Republican In
situations, and the Republican party of this
State Will maintain with infiexibie hrmness
their right to the exercise of the functions oi
their respective Offices until terminated In
constitutional manner.
| Resolred, That the administration of Gov
Creswell has been prudent, wise, honest, eco
nomical, and that he is entitled to the cordia
respect and confidence of the people of MIGHT
