MILWAUKEE,, July 3l.-The Republi-
can State Central Committee met 10 thil
city and adopted brisi address urging
eonsistert and harmonious action on thI
part Of the Republican Cougressionsl
District Conventions, and admitting tht
following propositions A. suitable plat
form on Hhiehlthe party may 60 into Tbs
coming canvas:
lst. The adherence 10 the principles ol
the Republican National platform Of 76
and the sentiments expressed in Mr.
Hayes letter Of acceptance recognizing
the honest difference Of opinion among
the Republicans respecting certain lea
tures ol the policy Of the National Ad'
ministraion, bot cordially approving the
aims Of the President In seeking to re-
store irAternAl relations between Different
sections OF the country and TO purify and
improve the Civil Service.
%. We earnestly desire the establish
ment Of frAterual relations between the
different sections Of the Union, but de-
mlnd that the laws be impartiAlly exc
cuted and that all citizens without dis
tinction shall enjoy equal righs before
the Law and equal rights under it
Sd. We rejoice in the prospect oil the
resumption Of specie payments by the
Close Of the present year. A stable, non
fluctuating currency possessing intlln-
sic value, coin or paper convertible Al
par into gold or silver st the pleasure Of
The holder, Is the only sure foundation
OF permanent business prosperity. Such
a currency will impart that sieadiness 70
prices which is an essential condition for
the successful prosecution Of Legitimate
industry and enterprise, and IL equally
demanded by the true interests Of the
lAborer, the buiness man and the capi-
tAlist.
4th. The value Of paper curreucy
whether Issued BY the Government or By
banks consists In the promise il bears Of
payment, and on the degree OF the credit
attached 10 that promise. Hitcsnnot be
converted at pleasure into currency OF
intrinsic value, It cannot remain at
par, and its depreciation will be in pro-
portion to the prospects Of its being con.
vertAble within longer or shorter period
The printed bills Of paper which some
wild theories propose TO employ as cur
rency, and which they term absolute
money, containing no promise Of payment
and no intrinsic value, would soon be.
come absolute in one respect, only they
would be absolutely worthless. This and
all the other chimerical projects BY which
il is proposed 10 End = cheap and
worthless substitute for the meas-
ure sf value, accepted and en-.
ployed by the entire civilized world
are based upIn deIusion, II not dishon.
esty, and II adopted would result in dis
aster and shame. We hold 1t 10 be the
duty OF Republicans and all good citizens
TO oppose with uncompromlsing frmnrss
all thee mischievous theories, as well -
the cognate doctrines Of communism and
internatiouali.m, which menace society
individual liberty and the accumulated
savings OF industry.
5th. Condemns the Democratic party
FOR attempting 10 disarm the National
government for seeking 70 debAse the cur
reDcy and arrest all progress towards re-
sumption. for voting TO reduce largely the
tar on articles like whisky and tobacco
thereby rendering 1t necessary 70 increase
the taxation ou other indnstaies, DC.
9Th. Declares the investigation respect
ing the last Presidential election hAI
wholly failed TO disclose an improper ae-
tion by President Hayes.
9Th. Opposes further grants Of public
lands in aid Of corporations, against sec.
tartan control inthe public schools and
fAvoripg economy in public expenses.
