This record The Republican asks fnr the con-
dnued ONt6ence and support Of the people.
and this ronventio" suhnits fur their appr''-
val the following statements Of the principles
cad purposes whrh will c'Hti"ue TO guide
and inspire. liz eff"rs:
ENUMERATION OF PRINCIPLEs.
First- We affi RIM that the work If tho lasi
tWonty-One wears has bean such ~ to cunt
mend itself to the favor " the nation. and
that the fruits nf the costly victories which
we have achieved through Immense Difficult
ties shout ie preserved. That tho peace re-
gained should be cherished. That the di<sev-
cred Union. now happily restored, should tt'
perpet uaied, and thar The liberties secured 4"
. this generation should i,e transmitted undi-
ninished to future generations. That he or
I,.Il rod r1l Lob.
never be impari!ed. That the pensions prom
Used should I've paid. That IN. debi >o nlurh
reduced should he eXingui-hed hy the full
f,Ayu3ent of every dollar thereof That The
reviviug industries should Ia furih ~ promo
ted. and that the cornmerce already 80 grea'
should I've steadily encouraged.
Setnnd-Fhe Constitution of the United
States il The supreme law. and not 4 compact.
Ont of COnf-drratsd ) a es it made natr,n.
Soma powers denied the Nation. while
others are retained by States: hut the t"'und-
airy between the powers delega ed and those
reserved is to he determined ny National and
not by Stale tribunals.
Third-The work "f popular edncai ion i. |
ona lett to the care Of The several States. bur |
It is the duty of the National government to |
aid that work to he extent of it's cn,srI utiona
ability. The intelligence of The MAJ i'm - hui
the aggregate of the intelligence in the sever
al States, and he destiny at The Nation inu>t
he guided. MT Ivy the genius of any one
State, but the average genius Of all.
NoN-SkCrAHIAN SCHOOLS.
FOurth-The Constitution wisely fOrbids
Congress to make ANY laws respecting an eS-
tabli-hing "f religion. but it Is idle tn hope
that the Nation can lie prOiecr-d AGAINST the
Influence of >eciariani>ln while each State i
expoS-d TO its particular dominafion. We |
therefore recommend that the Constitution t'e
90 amended AS 10 lay some prnhi,ii ion upon
the Legislature of each State and to fOrhi'l
she appropriation of public funds to he sup
port of >errarian schools.
Fifth-We affirm the belief avowed in 1876 |
that the dulles levied Tor the purpose of reve- |
uue should so discriminate ~ To favor Amer.
lean labor. That no further grant of the
pa bic domain should I've made To any rail-
road or 9TH corporation. That slavery hav-
ing persisted in the State. ITS twin barbarity,
rolygamy. must die in the Territories. That
everywhere the pro ection accorded to a CHI
Zen Of American birth must be secured to
citizens of American adoption. That it is the
duty If Congress to develop and improve our
water courses and hartsOrs, but we insist that
further subsidies 10 private persons "r corpor-
stions nnst cease. That the obligations to the
men who preserved it's integrity Ia the day If
battle are nn,iininished by the laI,se of fifteen
years since their final victory. Their perpet
nal honor is and shall forever be tha grateful
privilege aud the sacred duty OF the Ameri-
IAN people.
THE CHINESE PLANK.
Slxth-Snce the authority tn regulate i'm
migration and intercourse batween the United
ltates and foreign mi ions rests with the Con-
,ress of the United States and its treaty
making powers. that the Rapu blican party.
egardiug the unrestrictei Immigration OF
he Chinese as an evil of great magnitude,
nvOlveS the exercise Of the power " restrain
nd limit that immigration bv the enact
nents vt such just, humane and reasonable
'rovisi"ns a. will produce the result. .
Seventh-That the purity and patrinisn'I
which characterized the e,rlier career Of
rutherford B. HAYES, in peace and war. and
shch gu ided the thought Of his immediate | .
Predecessor to him for Presidential candi
ate. have continued to inspire him in h,s U

ous fultllHent OF ..ie pnh:ic business. and
ill honor his inter ,nsitOn between the peo- "
le and proposed Partisan laws.
INIQuIrIEs OF THE DEMOCRACY.
Cighth-We charge upon the Democratic
arty the hahit,ial sarritice of l'atrloli-m and
Istice to a supreme aud Unsuitable lust for
Itice and patrOnage; that to obtain pnssessinn
