greater than we have ever enj"yed. Upon
Ais record the Republican asks for the c'',,-
Nnued confidence and support Of the people,
snd this convention submits for their appr"
val the following statements of the principles
and purposes which will continue 70 guide
md inspire its efforts:
ENUMERATIoN OF PRINCIPLES.
First We affirm that the work IF the last
,uenty-one years has been such as to com
mend itself TO the favor of the nation, and
hat the fruits of tho costly victories which
We have achieved through immense difficult
Ass should he preserved. That the peace
gained should be cherished. That the dssev-
cred Union, now happily restored, should he
perpetnaied, and that the liberties secured ia
ihis generation should be transmitted undi-
miuished to future generations. That the or
der established and the credit acquired should
sewer be i'm periIed. That the pensions prom
ssed should be paid. That the debt 80 much
seduced should be extinguished by the full
payment of every dollar thereof. That the
reviving industries should be further promo
lad. and that the commerce already so great
s1lOuld he steadily encouraged.
SecOnd-rhe Constitution of the United
States is the supreme law, and not com pact.
Out of Confederated States 1t made nation.
some powers are denied the Nation, while
others are retained by States; but the bound
sry between the powers delegated and those
reserved is to be determined by National aud
act by State tribunals.
Third-The work of popular education is
sua left to the care of the several States, but
1 is the duty of the National government to
aid that work to the extent Gifts constitutional
ability. The intelligence of the nation Is but
Ahe aggregate of the intelligence in the sever
81 States, aud the destiny OF the Nation must
be guided, not by the genius of any one
NoN-sECTARIAN SCHOOLS.
rourth-The Constitution wisely forbids
Songress to make any laws respecting An es-
sabl;shing of religion, but it is idle tp hope
that the Nation can be protected against the
lufluence of sectarianism while each State is
- posed to it's particular domi"stlon. We
therefore recommend that the Constitution be
- amended as to lay some prohibition upon
he Legislature of each Stale and to forbid
me appropriation of public funds to the sup
sort of sectarian schools.
Fiith-We affirm the belief avOWed in 1875,
shat the duties levied for the purpose of reve-
nue. should so discriminate as to favor Amer.
lean labor. That no further grant of the
public domain should be made to any rail-
road or other corporation. That slavery hav-
ing persisted in the State. its twin barbarity,
polygamy, must die in the Territories. Thai
everywhere the protection accorded to citi-
zen of American birth must be secured to
citizens of American adoption. That it is the
duty Of Congress to develop and improve our
water courses and harbOrs, but we insist thai
surther subsidies to private persons or cOrpOr
atoms mnst cease. That the obligations to the
-con who preserved its integrity in the day OF
aaltle are unIiminished by the lapse of fifteen
Years since their final victory. Their perpet
nal honor ia aud shall forever be the grateful
privilege and the sacred duty Of the Ameri-
can people.
THE CHINESE PLANK.
5ixth--Since the authority to regulate i'm
States and foreign nations rests with the Con- |
sress Of the United States and its treaty |
making powers, that this Republican party.
the unrestricted Immigration Of
the Chinese as an evil OF great magnitude,
involves the exercise of the power ~ restrain |
and limit that immigration by the enact |
nents of such just, humane and reasonable |
provisions as will produce the result.
Seventh-That the purity and patriotism |
which characterized the earlier career Of
II IN md Sunr onG
which guided the thought of his Immediate |
predecessor to him for Presidential candi |
date, have continued to inspire hun In mr. I
cRreer as Chief Executive, and that history |
Vill accord to his administration the honors
which are due to an efficient, just and c0urag-
sous fulfllment Of re public business. aud
will honor his inter POSITION between the pe0-
pic and proposed partisan laws.
INIQUrTIEs OF THE DEMOCRACY. /
Eighth-We charge upon the Democratic
party the habsual sacrifice Of patriotism and
Justice to supreme and Unsuitable lust for
nice and patronage; that to obtain possession
n the National and State Governments, and
Or the control of place and position, they
1ave INSTRUCTED all the efforts u preserve the
purity and conserve the freedom Of suffrage;
rave devised fraudulent certificates and re-
urus: have labOred to unseat lawfully elect
I'd members of Congress, to secure at all
hazards the vote of the majority Of States in
he House of Representatives.; have endeav-
,red to occupy by force and fraud places Of
rust given to others by the people of Maine.
md secured by the courage and action OF
Maine patriotic sons; have by methods
riclous in principal and tyrannical in practice
attached partisan legislation TO appropriation
Hills; have crushed the rights of individuals.
md vindicated tho principles and sought the
avor Of rebellion against the Nation, and
lave underworld to Obliterate the sacred
of the war and to overcome its IN
stimable good resu!ts-freedom and individ-
