should be peFpetuated and that the lib
critics secured to this generation should
be transmitted undiminished' to future
generations; that the order established
and the credit acquired should never be
impaired; that the pensions promised
should be paid; that the debt so much
reduced should be extinguished by the
full payment of every dollar thereof;
that the reviving industries should be
further promoted and that the commerce,

/ Second. The constitution of the Emitted
States is supreme law and not a
mere contract of cOnfederated states.
Out of Confederate States it made
sovereign nation, Some powers
are denied to the nation, while others
are denied to the states, but the boundary
between the powers delegated and those.
reserved is to be determined by the ma
tiOnal and not the state tribunals.
Third. The work of popular educa-
ton. is one left to theycareA the several
Estates, but it is the duty of the national
government to aidthat work to the eX
tent of its constitutional ability. The
intelligence of the Nation is but the ag-
gregate Of Intelligence jim the several
states, and the destiny of the nation
must be guided not by the genius of any.

Fourth. The constitution wisely for

but it is idle to hope that tae nation can

led to- its domination. We therefore
recommend that the constitution be so
amended as to lay the same prohibition
on the legislature of each state, and to

| Fifth. We re-affirm the belief avOwed
in 1876 that the duties levied for the.
purpose of revenue should so discrimin-
late as tolfayer american labor; that no
further grant of the public domain
| should be made to any railway or other
corporation; that slavery having perish
ed in the states, its twin barbarity, pO-
lygamy, must die in the territories; that
| everywhere the protection accorded to a
| citizen of American birth must be Sc
cured to citizens by American adoption;
that we esteem it the duty of Congress
to develop and improve our water
courses and harbOrs, but that further
subsidies to private persons orsc6fpDra-
tlOns must cease; that the Obligatielis of
the Republic to the men who preserved
its integrity in the day of battle, is un-
diminished by the lapse of fifteen years
since their victory; their perpetual hon
or is and shall forever be the grateful
privilege and sacred duty of the Ameri-
can people. +
Si1tk. Since the authority to regulate
immigration between the United States
and foreign nations rests with the Con-
gress of, the United States and its treaty
making powers, the Republican party, re-
garding the unrestricted immigration
of Chinese as an evil of great magni-
tude, invoke the exercise of that
power to restrain and limit that immi-
grafton by the enactment of such Just
and reasonable provisions as will pro-
duce that result.
] Seventh. That the purity and patriot
ism which characterizes the early ca
reer of r. B. Hayes in peace and war
and which guided the thought of. our
predecessors to him for Presidential
candidate have continued to inspire him
in his career as a chief executive and
history will accord to him theShonOrs
which are due to an efficient, Just and
courageous fulfillment of the public
business and will ihOnor his intefpDsi-
tion between the people and proposed
tpatisan laws. 80 {. .es-e sss-..;
Eighth. We charge the Democratic
lparty with the habituaI sacrifice of patri-
0tism and justice; to a supreme and unsa-

] Jendeavored to obliterate the sacred
memories OF the war, and to overcome
its lnestimably good results, freedom

to be the duty and purpose of the Repub-
hcan party to- use all legitimate means

the most perfect harmony whioh NAV be
practicable and we submitte the prac-
ticaf sensible people 9fthe United States
