Several other propositions were made by which
to the the floor to delegates but they
were all laid on the table
Mr.. c. Z. SMITH. from the Committee Rcsolu-
tions. reported the foowing:-
Tho republicans or Now York. pledgng ourselves
anew to national supremacy equal rights. free
tons and honest money. declared these princi pes:
First The Republic of the United States lis a nation
and not a league The nation Is supreme within its
own constitutional sphere. 1t Is guarded with
power to guard its own life to protect ts own cti-
zens. to regulate it's elections and its
own laws The opposite doctrine OF State sover
eighty is the baleful mother of nulliiication
sion aud anarchy. Repubcanisn stands for
tonal supremacy in national affairs and state rights
in State concerns Democracy stands for State
eregnty, with its twin heresy that the Union Is
mere confedcracy of States.
Second-ro refuse necessary supplies for tho gov
ing consent OF coordinate and independent branch
to odious measures is revolution. 10 reiuso appro-
prations for the execution of existing and binding
| laws il nullihcation. We arragn democratic
Representatives in Congress guilty both OF revo-
lutionary attempts and nulifyng schemes. and we
rcprobste their action calculated subvert tho
constitution and to strike at the existence OF the
government itself.
THE NATIONAL ELECTION LAWS
Third-The safety of the Republic demands FREQ
attempted dctation by caucus by threats of starving
the government. and by months of disturbing agi-
tation. to break down the national eection laws.
| We denounce this effort conspiracy to over
throw tho safeguards OF free suffrage aud to open
the ballot box to tho unchecked domination OF tho
rifle clubs OF the South and the repeators OF New
! York. We declare uncompromising opposition
to repeal of these just protective laws and tho
republican Senators and Congress,
for their resistance to this attempt. and President
Hayes for his veto messages. deserve and receive
our hearty approval
POLLS.
Fourth-The republican party neither justifes nor
tolerates military interference with elections 1t
only protect the ballot box from the inter-
ference of force aud fraud. 1t repels the ialso
charges and dcnounces the false pretonces of con-
spirators who. while protesting free elections
everyw here. sustain mob law III the South. while in
Weighing against troops at the polls to protect citi-
zcns refuse to prohibit armed clubs from surround
ing the ballot box to intimidatc them; ana. while
affecting that the soldiers bayonet will overawe
FREQ electors. remain silent when the assassns bull
! Let seals tho fate of political independence.
| Fith-We call upon the people to remember that
the democratic party forced the extra session of
Congress without warrant excuse; that it prose-
ciited its partisan purposes by evolutionary meth
ods that 1t persistenty obstruc.cd resumption and
still constantly presses disturbing measures that
reopens sectional questions closed by the national
triumph and threatens 10 repeal the war legislation;
that its Southern element answers conciation only
with violence; that its hope OF success rests alono
on a solid South aud that its triumph would make
the south the ruling force OF tho nation. We recog
nzc that the great body of the people who defended
the Union of whatever party name. equally pa
triotic and equally Interested in good government,
and we earnestly invoke them to unite resisting
the dangerous designs Of party organization under
the sway of those who lstoly In rebellion and
seek to regain tho halls of Legislation what they
lost the field of battle.
i RESUMPTION pAYMnsra
Sixuk-The successful resumption of specie pay
ments despite democratic preticton and hostility,
policy. Followed by returning national prosperity
improved credit refunded debt and reduced in
terest it adds another to tho triumpls which prove
that the republican party il equal to the hghost de-
mands. Our whole currency should be kept ut par
j with the monetary standard OF the commercial
world, and any attempt to dehase tho standard, to
dcprecate the paper or deteriorate the coin should
be firmly resisted.
rios OF tho dead defenders OF the nation conf
to protest against the partisan and unptrotc greed
which expels old Union soldiers from their we'll de-
served rewards aud advances Confederate soldiers
| their places.
STATE MArTEps.
Eighh-As the pledge and proof OF its economy in
State administration. the republican party in spite
of prolonged democratic resistance. proposed and
passed the constitutional niments which restrict
the expenses of the canals to their receipts and
form the whole system of canal and prison manage
ncnt. and by exiting ushing the public Indebtedness
and relieving the people from any further tax there
tore it effected great saving in State taxation. These
fruits OF republican measures the dcnlocrats hayo
brazenly attempted to appropriate their own.
Appealing tho records i'll support Of dcclara-
tion. pronounce their claims unfounded anu hold
| up their authors public impostors.
NiaUt-rhe inequalities OF taxation. which press
most those least able to bear them. SHOULD be
romodiod To this end the republican Legislature
! created commission to revise tho assessment and
tax laws and to roach class Of property which now
largely escapes; and remind the people that
| salutary reform unwarrantably dofeatcd by tho
present democratic Executive.
| 1eah--Moncyel and transportation corporations
are not alone the works OF private enterprise. but
created for public uso and with due regard
to vosted rights. 1t " tho clear province and tho
plain duty or the State to supervise and regulate
such corporations as to secure the just and par
trial and agricultural welfare OF the people. and with
liberal policy favor the public waterways and
maintain the commercial supremacy of tho State.
We look to the inquiry now III progress. under the
direction OF tho Legislature to. develop tho facts
which will guide to all needed action.
! Mr.. SMITH said that tho resolutions had been
adopted unanimously by the committees. The 90
lutions received with cordial favor by the Con-
vention and adopted unanimously.

called shall riso In his place and record his vote.
