Dear SH'-fnelosed please find an estimate Of

This estimate only provides for such expendi-

streets or the cleaning OF the draining canals
besides it will be necessary during the year to
improve the drainage in the rear OF the city, par
ticularly in the Second Third aud sixth Dis
triots, for which some provision should be made.
l would alec call attention to the fact that no
provision is made for repairs to evees along the
river 'front.' nor for the work recommended by
the shy draulic survey"
therefore urgently recommend that in the
distribution Of receipts additional allowance
be made for the items mentioned, iE about the
following proportion:

ton assembled at Springfield on June
26. G. f. Lippincott was chosen presi-
dent, with u long list of vice-presidents.

the second ballot The following plat
form was adopted:
The delegated representatives OF the republi-
can party Of Illinois In convention assembled.
herein declare our nnfaltertng faith in the prin-
ciplcs and patriotism Of the republican party,
state and national, and IN its permanent fitness
and ability over all other parties to administer
the government, Of both state and nation, wisely
and successfully; that the democratic party
being largely composed OF recent rebels and
their sympathizerS, cannot be safely ntrusted
with the administration of the affairs Of the gov
eminent; that the partial success of that party
in congress rs well as in several of the states
only shows its grossly partisan character and
general incapacity and lack of honor and patriot
ism, For the financial system created by the re-
publican party during the war, and in spite OF
the opposition of the democratic party, we express
our unqualified admiration. Ky its provisions
the people have been supplied with a larger
amount of paper currency, safer and more uni
form in value. than they have ever
before enjoyed. The credit of the
nation has steadily improved while both
the principal and interest OF the public debt
well as the burdens Of national taxation have
DCtn steadily ulHlllSnpu Su1n results can ONLY
be produced by honesty, economy and wisdom III
the management Of pubic affairs We are OPP
posed TO any further contraction Of the greenbaCk
currency. We are in favor of such currency as
can be maintained at par with and convertible
into coin AT the Will OF the holder. We favor
such currency being received for import duties,
and depricate the defeat Of the recent bill for
that purpose by the democratic house OF repre-
sentatives. The permanent paefcation of the
southern section OF the union, and complete pro-
lection of its citizens in all their civil, political,
personal and property rights, is duty to which
the party should ne pledged. In order to rede EN-
this pledge it placed the recent amendments in
the constitution of the United States. That the
criminal code shall be amended for the protection
of depostorS in savings banks. by providing for
the punishment Of dishonest bank managers; and
finally, be IL
ReSoired, That those who preserved the coun-

last fall by the people o: ONO. We renew our
pledges of devotion to the Union and the consti-
tuition, with all its amendments. Ii declares rs
essential To the preservation OF this government,
faithful adherence to the following principles:
Strict construction of the constitutions: home
rule; supremacy of civil over the military power;
separation OF the church and state; liberty OF
all individual action unveXed by Sumptuary laws;
absolute acquiescence in the lawfully expressed
Will OF the majority; opposition To al subsidies
preservation of the public lands for the use oi
actual settlers, aud the maintenance and protec-
tiOn of the common school system as pertinent
to the issues now pending before the people.
Res0iSed. That the investigation of the frauds
committed ut the last presidential
election IN FLORIDA and Louisiana ought to have
been made by electoral commission, Its refusal
to do so was Il violation Of the spirit of the law
under which IL was organized, and gross insult
to the people of the United States and whilst the
decision made by the 44th congress of the question
as to who should be declared president OF the
United for the present presidential term was, in
our Judgment, final. that decision ought not to
preclude an authentic investigation and exposure
of all the frauds connected with that election,
and the due accountability of all who were guilt.
