I his article becomes Is thin as air.
Ringing Resolves.
The resolut ons passed by the Re-
publican conventions Of Pennsylvania
and Wisconsin on Wednesday came to
us with the old ringing sound that in
sured Republican victory fourteen years
ago. not only in the field of politics but
in the field of arms. They have ths
sound Of victory in them and the old
Repu blicau veterans charmed with its
resonance are closing up the ranks and
preparing for grand onward march
and grander victory. Nothing is
more true than the first resolution OF
the PeDnsylsania Republican plat :
form, that the party is again forced
to stand forward for the defence Of hu-
man rights, and that the party is con.
fronted by the same foes Of Federal
unity, political freedom and national
honor whom it has 90 often Overth,Own
in civil contests and armed conflicts.
All good men can unite on that. The
second resolution appeals to all Union
loving people to defeat the Democratic
party, which insists upon placing the
National Government under the doni-
nation Of men who having fought to
destroy it, are now seeking by legisla-
ton to gain what they lost in the con-
flict of arms. No clap trap about that.
The third resolution declares impla-
cable hostility to the repeal of the Ma
tiolal laws which protect the purity of
the ballot-box and secure fair elections,
the Republican party being alone com.
mitted to their defence. The Repub-
licans mean what they say in that re-
solution.
Resolution fourth, invites the con-
demnation by every law-abiding and
honest citizen Of the attempt of the
Democratic party to break up the gov
ernment by refusing to appropriate
money for its support, which had been
for that purpose unless the
Executive shall sanction measure in.
tended to foster fraud, violence and
corruption in the National elections
No good citizen should refrain from
joining in this condemnation.
Resolution fifth, declares in favor of
keeping the National obligations, main
tanning the National credit, the re-
of specie payments, and that .
'ur financial system remain undisturb
Il. There is 10 pairing down the Ma
ional credit, or repudiating principle Q
n that resolution. j
The Sixth resolution favors protec- Z
ion to home industries and home pro- !;
iucticns, to which we are indebted for q
he growth and development of our h
and foreign commerce, and for U
he prosperity of our National finances.
rne working men of the United States,
Is we'll as producers and manufacturers q
are blind to their best interests, if they :
10 not favor this resolution.
The seventh resolution declares that |
he vetoes Of President Hayes of the C
obnoxious legislation Of the recent ex- b
ra session OF Congress, meet with the .
learty APPRECIATION Of the Republicans ii
{ Pennsylvania. The crushed and ii
is,rapchised Republicans of Delaware II
Din heartily in this declaration. v
The eighth resolution calls upon the
eteran soldiers Of the war for the
nion, to resent the expulsion Of their 8;
ounde1 comrades from the offices of c.
,dst they hold. The veterans are 81
'ning. 9, ~
The ninth resolution sympathices n,
ith the Southern Republicans in their bi
own-trodden condition, under the "
arrow of political persecution, and it Ii
eclares that if solid South deprives W
lem of their rights, solid North will til
'sto.e them again. No mistake in the sR
ng of that resolution. NJ NJ
The tenth and eleventh resolutions al
eclare that the United States is a ma. pc
on, not league, and that the Su- ~ IL
'eme Court is the expounder of the d,
ws until such laws are repealed. II
The twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth al
solutions relate to State affairs. -
