The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1880-06-12

H.
federate states it made a sovereign nation Some
powers denied to the nation while others are de-
MED to the states, but the boundary between tho
powers delegated and those reserved is to be de
termned by the national, and not the state tribunals
Third. The work Of popular education is one left
TO the care of the several states but it is the duty ~
the national government to aid that work to the ey
tent of its constitutional ability. The intelligence Of
the nation but the aggregate Of the intelligence Of
the several states and the destiny Of the nation must
be guided, not by the genius OF any one state but
by the average genius of all
Fourth. The constitution wisely forbds congress
to make any law respecting or establishment q
religion. but is idle hope that the nation can b.
protected against the influence If sectarianism while
each state is opposed to its domination We there
fore recommend that the constitution be SO amended
lay the prohibition upon the Legislature Of
each state and forbid the appropriation Of publ.
funds to the support of sectarian schools.
Fifth-We reairm the belief ayowed in 1876 that tbs
duties levied for the purpose of revenue should So
discriminate to favor American labor; that fur.
Their grant of the public domain should be made to
any railway other corporation that slavery having
persisted in the states, its twin barbarity poygauv
must die in the territories; that everywhere the p
lection accorded to citizen OF American birth must
be secured to citizens by American adoItun that We
esteem il the duty of congress to develop and i'm
prove our water courses and harbors but insist thg
further subsidies TO private persons or corporations
must close that the obligations II the republic 10 the
men who preserved its integrity on the day If tbe
battle are undimnshed by the lapse # fifteen wears
since their final victory their perpetual houori and
sha forever be the grateful privilege and sacred duty
/ of the American people.
Sixth-Since that authority to regulate ilnuigr,-
ton and intercourse between the United States and
foreign nations rests with the congress # the United
States and its treaty -makng powers, the Republican
party regarding the unrestricted Immigration u
Chinese evil Of great magnitude, invoke the
exercise OF that power to restrain and limit that IN
migration by the enactment Of such just, humane
and reasonable provisions as viii produce that Tt
suit.
Seventh-That the party and patriotism winch
characterize the early career Of Rutherford B.
Hayes, i'll peace and war; and which guided tie
thought of our immediate predecessors 10 him FIR
lpy,tfa IilXa
him in his chief executive. and that lfstry
viii accord t. his administration the hOnOrs which
due 10 efficient, just and courags GUS fU'nI-
ment Of the public business, and viii honor hs iH-
Propositions between the people and proposed paru-
laws
Eighth-We charge upon the Democratic party TIE
habitua sacrifice of patriotism and justice 10 SIP.
prcme and unsuitable lust for Office and patronage.
that to obtain possession Of the national and s..ta
4 governments and the control Of place and Position
they have Distracted all efforts TO promote th- luy
and to conserve the freedom Of suffrage have devised
fraudulent cCrtihcdtlOn and returns, have Orcd
to unseat lawfully elected members of congress tu
at al hazards the vote of majority # states
the house OF representatives,; have underworld to
cUpy by force and fraud the places 81 trust given e
others by the people of Maine and rescued ty the
courage in action Of Names patriotic sons; have by
methods vicious in principle and tyrAnnlcal IN pTat
tee, attached partisan legislation on approprauol
bills upon whI Sc passage the very movement Of Eos-
eminent depends have crushed the rights Of tn In
dividual have yindicated the principles and sought
to favor the rebellion against the nation, and have
endeayored to obliterato the sacred memories of the
freedom and individual equality.
We affirm it to be the duty and the purpose of b.
Republican party TO use all legitimate means T.
store all the states Of the union to the most per-
harmony which may be practicable, and We suh..
to the practical. sensible people of the United StaS
to say whether il would not be dangerous to surrr
der the administration of the national government
party which seeks to overthrow the existing laty
under which we are So prosperous, and thus bring
destruction and confusion where there is now order
confidence and hope.

affirmed by il lat national convention OF respect
for the constitutional rule covering appointment Ri
