ton Of June 3, because of the necessity for
a continuance of the Republican a4ministra
| lion of the affairs of the government which
| Democratic inability and inc2pacity would
/ imperil, and because the forces Of Rcpubli-
canism throughout the land, emboIying SUI
perior intelligence and numbers of the peo-
pie, are united in the support of principles
and policies indispensable to the republics
! welfare.
Second. Its great respect for President
Chester A. Arthur, whose administration
begun under circumstances of peculiar sad
ness, delicacy and embarrassment, has, by
its eminent prudence and sagacty, com
mended itself to the esteem of the country,
and as such receives the cordial acknowledge
ment of the Republicans of his own
state.

reduction of the public debt and intere
charges, and the relieving Of the people from
unnecessary burdens, accomplished by Re
publican management.

tecting home industry from foreign cOmpeti-
| ton, which has, through a century Of nation
al being, encouraged immigration, rewarded
labor fostered enterprise, and assured I'M
PARALLEL progress and prosperity, and all vari-
atoms from which policy have been the occa-
sion of business confusion and disaster, and
which, therefore, is alike justified in intelli-
gcnce and by experience
Fifth. It's determination to adopt all fur

icy in congress, which the weakness and
imbecilitysof the Democratic majority of the
house of representatives has disturbed the
smooth and satisfactory courses of business,

by i'll advised and inexcusable assaults upon
wisely matured and advantageous legislation
has brought the business and industries Of
the country to the verge of uncertainty and
distrust, and thus again is demonstrated the
unfitness and unworthiness of the Demo-
cratic party to be entrusted with the conduct
of public affairs.
