The Republicans of the United States, in
National Convention assembled, renew their
allegiance to the principles upon which they
have triumphed in six successive PRESIDENTIAL
elections, and congratulate ;he American peo-
pie on the attainment of so many results in
legislation and administration, by which the
Republican party has, after saving the Union,
done 80 much to render its institu ions just
equal and benefcent the safeguard OF liberty
and the embodiment of the best thought and
highest purposes of our citizens. The Re
publican party has gained its strength by u
quick and faithful response to the demands
of the people Tor the freedom and equality of
all men. for united nation, assuring The
rights of all citizens, for the elevation of
llbor, for an honest currency, for purity in

in the work OF progress and reform.
We lament the death of President Garfield,
whose sound statesmanship. 'ong conspicuous
In Congress, gave promise OF strong and
successful administration, a promise fully
realized during the short period of his office
as President Of the United States. His dis
tingui-hed success in war and peace has
endeared him to the hearts OF the American
people.
In the administration OF President Arthur
we recognize wise, conservative and patri-

representatives of this important agricultural
interest for readjustment of duty upon
foreign wool. in order that such industry

TO the rights and wages of the laborer, to the
end that active and intelligent labor, as well
as capital. may have its inst award, and the
laboring man his full share in the national
prosperity.
Against the so-called economic system of
the Democratic party, which would degrade
our labor to the foreign standard, we enter
our earnest protest The Democratic party
has failed completely TO relieve the people
OF the burden Of unnecessary taxation BY a
wise reduction of surplus The Republican
party pledges itself to correct the irregular-

Of horizontal reduction, bet by such methods
