the committee. Each resolution was greeted with
applause:
assembled declares as follows:
l. That we adopt and sfirm the principles So
clearly set forth in the platform adopted the Ma
tonal Republican Convention recently assembled at
Chicago.
2. That we recognize in James A. Garfield and
Chester A. Arthur honest and representative citi-
zens OF our nation, able and intelligent exponents Of
the principles Of the Republican party, and that
their election will be triumph of those principles
upon which our national existence and industrial
prosperity depends
g. That In the most emphatic manner we declare
that the presence Of Chinese laborers upon this con-
sihen 10 uelriiiieutA 10 the hest interests OF the
American people. That their immigration should
be prohibited and to that end that the Burlinyame
treaty should be sbrogaed and that Congress should
pass such laws as will prevent the further immigra-
uon OF Chinese to this coast. We indorse and ap-
prove the act OF President Hayes In the appointment
OF Commission 10 the Government Of China for
the purpose OF modifying the BurInsame treaty
we especially indorse and approve that part OF the
National Republican platform that opposes Chinese
immigration and thus declares the question to be
one OF national Importance That we indorse and
approve the declarations Of General Garfield in his
letter OF acceptance, in which he says We cannot
consent to allow any form OF serve labor to be intro
duced among us under the guse of immigration, +"
and that % 1t will be the duty of Congress to mti.
gate the evils already felt, and prevent their in
crease by such restriction as without violence or in
justice will place upon foundation the peace
OF our communities and the freedom and dig ity of
labor" We cal attention to the significance of
General Hancock's silence upon this Chinese aues
ton IN his letter OF acceptance and acceptt pro
conclusive that the Democratic party, under the in
nuence OF solid South, cannot be trusted to legis-
late upon this question of Chinese immigration
4. That we recognize as a fundamental principle
OF American liberty that it is only by full vote
Tree ballot and fair count that the people can rule
but that throughout the solid South as ruled by
the Democratic party, neither full vote nor free
ballot now exist, nor can fair count be had except
through the complete victory Of the Republican
party and the triumph of its principles.

from report of citizen Of his experience in Ala
