evidence Of = coming prosperity greater
than We have ever enjoyed. Upon this
record the Republican party asks for the
continued confidence and support of the
people, and this convention submits for
their approval tho following statsmsnts oi
the principles and purposes which VIII
continue TO guide and inspire its efforts:
ENUMERATION OF PnIscrPLrs.
Pirst-we affirm that the work Of the
lsst tweuty.one years has been such a. to
commend itself 70 tho favor OF the nation,
and that the fruits Of the costly victories
which We have achieved through immense
dificulties should be preserved. That the
peace regained should be cherished. That
The discovered Union. now happily restored,
should be perpetuated. and that the liber'
ties secured 70 this generation should be
transmitted undiminished 70 future gener'
atoms. That the order established and the
credit acquired should never be tmperiled.
That the pensions promised should be paid.
That the debt 90 much reduced should be
extinguished by the full payment Of every
dollar thereof. That the reviving indus
tries should be further promoted, and that
the commerce already 20 great should DC
steadily encouraged.
Second-Ths Constitution OF the United
States Ia the supreme law, and not mere
compact. Out Of Confederatsd States II
made q sovereign nation. Some powers
are denied TO the Nation. while others are
retained by the States; but the boundary
betvoen the powers delegated and those
reserved IL to be determined by National
and not by State tribunals.
Third-The work OF popular educauon
10 one left TO the care OF the several otANs'
but II is the duty OF the National govern
ment TO aid that work ~ the extent o. ~.
constitutional ability. The intelligence oi
the nation 10 but the aggregate of the IN
telligence in the several States, and the
destiny Of the Nation must be guided, mol
by the genius Of any one State. but the
average genius OF all.
SoS.sEcrARIAS SCHOOLS.
Pourth-The Constitution wisely forbid'
Congress TO make any laws respecting an
establishment Of religion. but 1t 10 idle 70
hope that the Nation can DO protected
against the influence OF sectarianism while
each State is exposed to iu particular
domination. We therefore ommsnd
that the Constitution be 90 amended ~ 70
Law some prohibition upon the Legislature
Of each State and to forbid the appropria'
tion Of public funds to the support OF Sec
tartan schools.
Fiith-We resfirm the belief avowsd In
1876. that the duties levied for the purpose
Of revenue should 90 discriminate a. TO
favor American labor. That no further
grant OF the public domain should DO made
10 apy railroad or other corporation. That
slavery having perished In the States its
twin barbarity, polygamy, must die IN the
Tsrr;,orirs. That everywhere the protec.
