Greater than We have ever enj'Ned. Upon
his record the Republican asks for the con
siuued confidence and support Of the people,
and this convention submits for their appr''-
val the following statements of the principles
sni PURPOSES which viii coBtI ne 10 guide
and inspire its efforts:
ENUMERATi"N or PRINCIPLES.
First We affirm that the work IF the last
Lwenty-One years has been such a. to COM
Seend itself to the favor of the nation. and
tat the fruits of the costly victories which
Nc have achieved through iInm-n>. q itficul-
LES should he pre-erved. That the peace re-
4yained should be cherished. That the di>sev-
,ared Union. now happily restored, should be
perpetuated, and tina; the Iihertie> secured 10
shis generation should be transmitted undi-
rninished 10 future generations. That the or
Ser established and the credit acquired should
never be i'm perled. That the pensions PROM
,,sed should be paid That the debt much
fsduced should be eXringui>hed by The full
sayment of every Il liar thereof. That the
7,eviving industries should be further promo
cd. ami that the commerce already so great
should be steadily encouraged.
lSecond--The Constitution of the United
Hates il the supreme law, anu moi compact.
but of Confederated = a'es it made nation.
Rome powers ara denied the Nation, while
,thers are retained nv states; but the bound
aNry between the powers delegated and those
-eserved is 10 be determined by National! and
not by State tribunals.
Third-The work of popular education is
left to the care of the several States. but
. ia the duty of the National government to
zd that work to the extent of its constil utional
ability. TIE intelligence of the nation is but
.hs aggregate of the intelligence in the sever
a Sta'es, and the destiny OF the Nation must
do Eo!Jeu not Dy the genius oil any one
St&te, bat the average genius of all
-NON-sECTAKIAN SCHOOLS.
Fourth-The nstitution wisely forbids
Congress to make any laws respecting an eS-
Publishing Of religion, but it is idle to hope
hat the Naioil can be projected against the |
grlfuence oil sectSranIsm while each State is |
exposed to its particular domination. We |
therefore recommend that the Constitution be |
80 srnended as to lay some prohibition upon |
.he Legislature of each State and to forbid |
n 1Thrin tiDa .,f fl,<,.
r'rt OF sectarian schools.
Eifth-We affirm the belief avowed in 1876.
IA at the duties levied for the purpose of reve-
aue should so discriminate A. to favor Amer.
rcsn labor. That no further grant of the
auhlc domain should be made to any rail-
"oad or other corporation. That slavery hav-
nC persisted in the State. ITS twin bar ba rity, |
aolygamy. must die in the Territories. That
avery where the pro- ectiOn accorded to a ciri-
ION OF American birth must he secured to
athens of American adoption. That it is the
suty OF Congress to develop and improve our
water courses and harbors, but we insist thai
utther subsidies to private perSons"rc OrpOr
.tions mpst cease. That the O Obligations to the
men who preserved it's integrity in the day of
waffle are uniiruinished bv the Ia pse of fifteen
1aars since their final victory. Their perpet
al honor is aud shall forever be the grateful |
privilege ard the sacred duty of the Amer- ,,
an people.
THE CHINESE PLANK. c
Sixth-Since the authority to regulate i'm
migration and intercourse between the United a
Rates and foreign nations tests with the Con- Z
ress of the United States and its treaty. :
naking powers. that the Repub lican party t
Hsarding the unrestricted immigration of o
lie Chinese as an evil of great magnitude. {
nvolveS the exercise of the power 20 restrain
nd limit that immigration by the enact a
cents of such just, humane and reasonable o
rovisions as will produce the result. IA
Seventh-That The purity and patriotism n
men characterlzed the earlier career of "
rutherford B. Hayes i'm peace and war, and Fl
'hicb guided the thought of his immediate "
Predecessor tn him for Presidential candi ii
ate, have continued to inspire him in his ie
sreer as Chief Executive. and that history ~
Ill accord to his administration the hOnOrs Ii
hich are due to an efficient. just and cOurag- h
,us fulfllment of ne public business. and 81
Ill honor his inter JOsitiOn between the peo- al
Ie add proposed partisan laws. d.
lNIQrIrIEs OF THE DEMOCRACY. CT
Eighth-We charge upon the Democratic d.
arty the habitual sacrifice of patriotism and pt
Istice to supreme and Unsuitable lust for i,
ice and patronage; that to obtain possession in
the National and State Governments, and sc
r the control of place and position, they al
ave INSTRUCTED all the efforts to preserve the OF
lrity and conserve the freedom of suffrage; d,
ave devised fraudulent certificates and re- tn
rms; have Iabored to unseat lawfully elect hi
members of Congress. to secure at all | tie
