4th. The Constitution wisely for
bids Congress to make any law re-
specting the establishment of re-
ligion, but it is idle to hope that the
nation can be protected against the
influence Of secret sectarianism,
willie each State is exposed to its
domination. We, therefore, rec
onlmen1 that the Constitution be
so amended as to lay the same pro-
hibitiOn upon the Legislature of
each State. and to forbid the appro-
priation OF public funds to the sur
port of sectarian schools. Cheers
5th. We reaffirm the belief
avowed in 1876 that the duties
levied for the purpose of revenue
should so discriminate as to favor
American labor, [cheers;l that no
further grants of the public domain
should be made to any railway or
other corporations; that slavery hav-
ing persisted in the States its twin
barbarity. roiygamy. must die in
the Territories; that evcryw here
the protection accorded to a citizen
of American birth must be secured
to citizens by American adoption.
That we deem it the duty of Con-
gross to develop and improve our
seacoast and harbors, but insist
that further subsidies to private
persons or corporations must cease,

Republic to tlae-men who preserved

of patriotism and justice to a Sill
preme and Unsuitable lust for office
and patronage; that to obtain pos

obstructed all efforts to promote the
purity and to conserve the freedom
of the suffrage, and have devised
fraudulent ballots, and invented
fraudulent certifcation of returns;
have labored to unseat lawfully
elected members of Congress to Sc

majority of States in the House of
9th. Since the authority to reg
ulate immigration and intercourse
between the United States and
foreign nations rests with the Con-
gress Of the United States and the |
treaty making power, the Rcpubli-
can party, regarding the unre-
stricted immigration of Chinese as
matter of grave Government uu-
der the exercise of both these
powers, would limit and restrict

of such just, humane and reason
able laws and treaties as will pro-

18th. That the purity and patriot

career of Rutherford B. Hayes in
peace and war, and which guided
the Thoughts of our immediate pre-
dccessors to him for a Presidential

him in his career as Chief Execu-

his Administration the honors which
are due to an efficient, just and
courteous discharge of the public
business, and will hgnor his vetoes

partisan laws. [Cheers.I

Representatives; have eudeavorad
to occupy by force and fraud the
places Of trust given to others by
the people of Maine, rescued by
the courage and action of Names
patriotic sons; have, by methods
vicious in principle and tyrannical
in practice, attached partisan legis-
Iation to approximation bills upon
whose passage the very movement
Of the Government depended; have
crushed the rights of the individual;
have advocated the principles and
sought the favor of the rebellion
against the nation, and have en-
leavored to obliterate the sacred
and to overcome its in
valuable results of ma

lividual equality.
The equal, and steady, and COM

guaranteed by the Con-
titution, are the first duties Of the
lation. Applause j .
The dangers of '.Solid South t

The execution of the =

My safe methods by which an en-
Turing peace can be secured and
enuine prosperity established
throughout the South. Applause.
Whatever promises the nation
makes the nation must perform. A N
