What Republican Success Means.

|. Republican success means that the
present prosperity of the country, re-
sulting so largely from Republican leg
islative' and executive action, shall not
be interrupted.
H. That the present honest collec-
tion of the revenue, so faithful that but
one-third of one cent out of every
81, 900 collected has been lost, when
Sill of each $1,000 collected was
stolen under Van Buren,, shall be un-
changed
LII. That every mill and factory shall
be kept in operation, and every home
industry fostered, so that mechanics
and la6orers may continue to be paid
liberal wages, and the Nation be made
independent of foreign powers i'll times
of both peace and war.
". The continuance and permanence
of the National banking system, with
its stable, redeemable currency of uni
form value throughout every Territory
and State, whose full value is secured
by the deposit of Government bonds
beyond the possibility of loss.
V. The enjoyment of absolute free
dom of conscience and of speech in
every State and community, North and
South, and the ceaseless protection of
free speech by the Courts, and by every
officer and every department of the
Government.
vi. Perfect protection to all Ameri-
can citizens in the uncontrolled exercise
of the right of suffrage, SO that the
fountain of power in a Republic shall
not be corrupted at its source.
VII. The ample guarantee of protec-
tion to human life every hour and
everywhere with the whole force of the
Army and Navy, if need be, to sustain
the civil authorities in the discharge of
the first and most imperative duty of a
Government.
VIII. The payment in the currency of
the world of the whole indebtedness OF
the United States. as pledged by Con-
gress, implied by contract, and required
! by universal civilized usage.
! TX. The faithful fulfilment of all
pledges and obligations to the defenders
of the Union and their families, and
the prompt payment of whatever pen
sions may now be or may hereafter be-
come due.
X The elimination from American
politics of the fatal heresy of State
! Sovereignty and its legitimate offspring,
! Secession, and the browning of our
Nationality by the judicial proclamation
of the fact that the only sovereign or
independent State on the continent,
known to international or Constitu-
tional law, is the Republic itself
Xl. Greater permanency in every
branch of the Civil Service, so that of
fees may be filed not for the benefit of
individuals, but for the greatest good
of the greatest number, and the public
business transacted by those best quail
flied by knowledge and experience to
transact it.
XII. The preservation inviolate of the
results of the war for National exist
ence; that the cause represented by
Lincoln be deemed eternally right, and
that represented by Davis everlastingly
wrong; that patriotism be preferred to
treason, and the Republics defenders
to its destroyers.
XIII. The elevation to the Chief
Magistracy of a scholar, a man of learn
ing and trained statesman of eighteen
years continuous Congressional serv-
ice, who was three times the choice of
his party in Congress for Speaker, their
unanimous choice for the Electoral
Commission, and who, by nature. cult
ure and education, is the peer of any
candidate of any party for the Presiden-
cy since the foundation of the Govern
ment.-M T. Tribune.
