The Republican Platform.

As some of the Republican papers
have ommitted the platform from
the published proceedings of the
"306 Convention" we applend it as
matter of news to the e. neral
reader:
The Republican, party of Washing.
ton Territory recognize that the
success and prosperity of the nation.
as we'll as of the Territory, are due
to the principles of the party, as
established and carried out, and Wa
here pledge anew our devotion to
those principles.
The death of our late President
James Abram Garfield, we regard
not only as a national calamity, but
a loss to humanity, which is deplored
by the whole nation.
The administration of President
Arthur we most heartily approve a.
able aud patriotic.
The Republican party as the partv
of progress aud reform, is in favor
of all laws tending to the education
of the people and the development
of her resources, and to that end We
favor the support Of our common
schools and other institutions of
learning, the building of railroads
and other means of transportation.
aud the encouragement of agricul.
turs, commerce and manufactures.
Believing that all men are equal
before the law, we are opposed to
granting special privileges or exemp-
ton to any, and tina! taxation should
be equal and all property should
bear its equal burden for the support
of the Government.
We are in favor of the early ad.
mission of our Territory as a State
to which we believe we are fairly en-.
titled by reason of our population,
our wealth, and our firm devotion
to the best interests of the Republic.
That while We are in favor of and
urge the advisability of including
Northern Idaho within the limits Of
the State of Washington, we are
opposed to making that question q
condition to delay our admission to
statehood. That we, however, earn.
estly urge Congress TO include NORTH
Idaho within the limits of tie State
of Washington.
We fully appreciate the efforts
made by our Delegate, Thomas II.
Brents, for the admission of our
Territory as a State, and his contin.
uous labors for the development of
our Territory and prosperity of her
citizens, and fully endorse bis action
therein, and specially his recent
efforts to secure our admission into
the Union.
