, report wss adopted as fulIow-
!, The Republicans OF Wiscou-i1 dec'al
. their adhesion TO the following proposition
:. First, The Republic of the Uni ed STATE
: is a nation, not confederacy of sovereig
. States; and Its government IL clOtl.d wi,
paramount authority for the regulation c
all subjects of national concern.
Second, Elections of members of congress
are nationsl elections ard ss such the Who'll
. country il interested in having them iairl
, and peacefully conducted, so that ever
voter may be offered an opportunity to eI
ercise bis right of outrage freely and with
out fear of personal violence; 10 vote oac
and only once al given election and L
have his vote honestly counted and return
ed. 1t il the duty OF the national govern
ment to enforce this right. The R.publi
lican parry is opposed 10 any military in
reference with elections except when nee
es-ary to maintain public peace and protec
the constitutional rights Of cirz-ns.
Third, The refusal Of a mere M 3rity il
Congress 10 max. spprcpIi4Ei N OF money
already collected by tax from the p-oplt
for The ordinary and Legitimate * lenses oil
the government, with the purpose OF com
pelling the President bv such refusal to
approve the measures which he regards As
unwise and wrong, il revolutionary in prin-
| ciple, subversion the constitution and
deserving the condemnation OF all good
citizens.
Fourth, The practice of attaching what
| is popularity termed political riders" TO
appropriation bills should be prohibited.
Ffh, The thank. and grateful recncni-
| ton IL the people are due TO President
Hayes and to the Republican members Of
Congres for the firm and successful resi--
tance Of the attempt by the Democratic
party to disown the national government
on election days, and TO repeal al laws for
The protection and security Of the ballot
box, and providing tor the detection and
punishment of fraudulent voting.
SiIth, The successful resumption of spe-
Gle psyments has indicated the wisdom of
the Republican policy on that subject and
afforded striking illustration of the lack
Of honesty and manship which led the
Democratic party to oppose resumption and
TO declare that it was impossible.
!>sreath, That it is the duty of Congress
to enact laws to carry out the provisions of
the constitution, with Its amendments, and
to secure to the people Of the States the
rtuhta Iu and rh LAM,
when enacted, are supreme and must be
obeyed and enforced; the recent attempts
of the Democratic Congress to repeal and
strike from the statute books such laws has
no par allel in the history of the country.
Eighth, That our government and State
officers are entitled to the thanks and ap-
proval of the people for their wise and |
faithful administration Of the public trusts |
commended to them.
The convention then adjourned 5 ne die |

when the rebels surrendered at Appsma;ox
they admitted that the United States was a
government Then they made 10 claims,
for they had none. They a-ksd only their
miserable ives as = noon. We treated
them with q magnsnimity never before
fhowu. They were bound by the Laws Of
Gaiions Ar. the laws Of war 10 pay every
dollar Of the cost Of that VAT. They stsked
all and lost all. We took them 10 our
arms, clothed them and re-iLstated then:

We are told that the Republican psrty has
its mission, outlined iIs useful

repaired TO die, it is ours; but We have

eeks Its death? They are men who re-
piced in every Union defest, ard now
