elected members Of Congress to Sc
cure at all hazards the vote of a
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 Republi-
can party, regarding the unre-
stricted immigration of Chinese as
a matter of grave Government uu-
der the exercise of both these
powers, would limit and restrict
that immigration by the enactment
of such just, humane and reason
able laws and treaties as will pro-
duce that result.
7th. That the purity and patriot
ism which characterized the earlier
career of Rutherford B. Hayes in
peace and war, and which guided
the Thoughts of our immediate pre-
decessors to HIM for Presidential
candidate, have continued to inspire
him in his career as Chief Execu-
tive; and that history will accord to
his Administration the honors which
are due to an efficient, just and
courteous discharge of the public
business, and will honor his vetoes
interposed between the people and
attempted partisan laws. [Cheers.l
8th. We charge upon the Demo
cratic party the habitual sacrifice
Representatives; have eudeavorcd
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-
lation to approm iation 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-
deavored to obliterate the sacred
memories and to overcome its in
estimably valuable results of ma
tionality personal freedom, and ia
dividual equality.
The equal, and steady, and COM
plete enforcement of the laws, and
the protection of all our citizens in
the enjoyment of all privileges and
immunity guaranteed by the Con-
stilution, are the first duties of the
nation. Applause j
The dangers of "Solid South"
can only be averted by a faithful
performance every promise which
the nation has made to the citizen.
[Applause.] The execution of the
laws. and the punishment of all
those who violate them. are the
only safe methods by which an en-
during peace can be secured and
genuine prosperity established
throughout the South. Applause
Whatever promises the nation
makes the nation must perform. A
nation cannot with safety relegate
this duty to the States. The Solid
South" must be divided by the
peaceful agencies of the bellot, and
all honest opinions must there find
free expression. To this end the
honest voter must be protected
against TERRORISM, i0icnUe "a fra ut.
[Applause,]
And we affirm it to be the duty
and the purpose of the Republican
party to use all legitimate means to
restore all the States of this Union
to the most perfect harmony which
may be possible, and we submit to,
the practical, sensible people of
these United States, to say whether |
it would not be dangerous to the |
dearest interests of our count y at
this time to surrender the admins
tration of the National Government |
to party which seeks to over
throw the ex sting policy under
which we are so prosperous, and |
thus bring distrust and confusion
where there is now order, conf
dence, and hope. [Applause.]
The Republican party, adhering
to the principles affirmed by its
last national convention of respect
for the constitutional rules govern
ing appointments to Office. adopts
the declaration of President Hayes
that the reform of the civil-service
should be thorough, radical aud
To this end it demands
the cooperation of the legislative
with the executive departments of
The Government, and that Congress
shall so legislate that fitness, ascer-
+ained by proper practical tests, shall
admit to the public service
