WEDNESDAY, OCT. 20, 1886.

by the Republican State Convention held
at Trenton !:
First--We reaffirm our loyal adherence
to the principles Of the party which re-
presents the best thought and purest as
pirations of the time, and which counts
among its achievements the preservation |
of the Union, the emancipation of the
slave, the rehabilitation of the States, the
Acknowledgement of the freedmen, the
protection of American labor and indus
tries, the restoration and re-estabiish-
ment of the public credit, and the incor-
poration in the National statutes of the
principles of equality and justice to all.
Second-The Republican patty stands
to-day, as it has ever stood, the unfiinch-
ing champion and firm defender Of Amer
lean labor against the assaults Of the
Democratic party and its demands for
free trade, cheap labor and foreign com
petition with American manufacturers
and workingmen. In pursuance of its
peOlicy of protection we demand that III
abuse of the right OF free immigration
shall be speedily remedied SO thatthe in
PRODUCTION by corporations and monopo-
lies, OF European paupers, under con-
tract, to take the places of American
w0rkingmen, shall be prevented by the
enactment of effective laws and severe
penalties.
Third--The Republican party has al
ways been the friend Of the workingmen,
and has placed on the statute books of
this State most of the existing laws on
that subject. The interests of labor and
capital are in the broadcast sense identical.
