cease; that the obligations Of the
Republic to the men who preserved
its integrity in the hour of battle are
undiminished by the lapse of fifteen
years since their final victory. To
do them perpetual honor is and shall
forever be the grateful privilege and
sacred duty of the American people.
Srfh. Since the authority to regu-
late immigration and intercourse be-
tween the United States and foreign
pations rests with the Congress or with
the United States and its treaty-making
power, the Republican party, regarding
the unrestricted immigration of Chi
nese as an evil Of great magnitude, in
woke the exercise of those powers to
restrain and limit that immigration BY
the enactment Of such just, humane
and reasonable provisions as will pro-
dace that result.
Seventh. That the purity and patri-
otism winch characterized the earlier
career of Rutherford b. Hayes in peace
aud war, and which guided the thoughts
OF our immediate predecessors to him
for candidate, have continued to in.
spire him in bis career as Chief Exec
utive, and that history will accord to
his administration the honors which are
due to an efficient, just and courteous
discharge of the public business, aud
will honor bis interpretations between
the people and proposed partizan laws.
Eighth. We charge upon the Demo-
aratic party the habitual sacrifice of
patriotism and justice to supreme
and Unsuitable lust of Office and patron
age that, to obtain possession of the
National aud State Governments and
the control of place and position they
have obstrueted all effort to promote
the purity aud to conserve the freedom
of suffrage, and have devised fraudu-
lent certI6cauons and returns have
labored to unsest lawfully elected mem
bess of Congress to secure at all haz-
ards the vote of majority of the States
in the House of Representatives; have
endeavored to occupy oy force and
fraud the places Of trust given to others
by the people Of Maine and rescued by
the courage in action of Names pa
triotic sons have by methods vicious
in principle and tyrannical in practice
attached partisan legislation to bills,
upon whose passage the very move
meuts of government depend have
crushed the rights of individuals; have
ad Located the principle aud sought the
favor of rebellion against the nation,
and have endeavored to Obli:erate the
sacred memories of the war aud to
overcome its inestimable, valuable re-
suits of nationality, personal freedom
and individual equality. The equal,
steady and complete enforcement of
laws and the protection of all our citi-
zens in the enjoyment of all privileges
aud communities guaranteed by the
Constitution are the first duties of a
nation. The dangers Of solid South
can only be averted by a faithful per
fOrmance Of every promise which the
nation has made to the citizens. The
execution of the laws ard the punish
ment of all those who violate them are
the only safe methods by which an en-
during peace can be secured aud gen.
ulne prosperity established throughout
the South Whatever promises the
nation makes the nation must perform,
and the nation cannot with safety rele-
gate this duty to the States The solid
South must be divided by the peaceful
agencies of the ballot, and all opinions
must there find free expression, and to
this end the honest voter must be pro-
tecied against terrorism, violence or
fraud and We affirm it to be the duty
and the purpose of the Republican
party to use every legitimate means to
restore all the States of this Union to
the most perfect harmony that may be
practicable, and We submit TO .he prac-
tical, sensible people of the United
States to say whether it would not be
dangerous TO the dearest interests of
our country at this time to surrender
the administration of the National Gov
ernment to party which seeks to over
throw the existing policy under which
we are SO prosperous, and thus bring
distrust and confusion where there is
now order, confidence and hope.
