The Republican party referred t. its record
for the past twcity four years. 1t was ~
ganizcd as II party Of Tree soil and Tree
speech, and as Il protest against slavery. As
such it VAS h9uud AID pledged 10 MAINTAIN
the civil and poit cal rights Of The freed
man. The strvccs OF the party in reducing
the war taxts and in reducing the National
debt were ais rtClted.
The resumption of specie payments had
furnished the people with sound aud stable
currency, and wltiin 20 years after the
war the treasury was Cvcltl wing and the
NaiDn's credit unprccc tented. In al; that
pertaiued to the welfare of the people the
party had shown itself t. he progressive and
the champion ct law and oder. The Re-
public m party of to-day was declared to be
the same us hat Of other years IN It's deVO-
lion to rrlncipe and its prOmp. response TO
the demands Of the country, aud confluence
was expressed that ho true Republicans
would be deceived into giving AID end com
fort to the Den 'Cra'ic party which, although

aud reform, was essentially tine Same as when
it declared the wal OF the Uulon faliurr,
denounced the amendments To The cunstltu-
ton and prr,istently opposed all eE Irls to
improve the civil service.
1ne resolutions then declared that the X
publicaus Of THIS city heartily approve OF The
policy of the party in protecting Am ;rcan
Industry and American wDIkmrn from a
competition with any form Of cheap, sergile
labor. The party WAS pledged to Il prolec-
tive policy and aI the same time it WAS de-
cared that whatever Inequalities eXlsiei III
The pre- sent taliil would be corrected. The
Democratic party, 1t sad, could not eVaue
RESPONSIBILITY tor the late attempt in Congress
to legishte in the interest of free trade, fol
which policy it also declared IN its Chicago
platform, but in vague and cvasivv terms.
The Republican party mad also favored any
policy which tended to Increase or extent
American commerce, and had opened W
many markets for American products in tn
Western Hemisphere.
The wise and digni6ed administration o
President Arthur was commented ant
