should Of right be Immediately admitted
as a State in the Union, under the con

violation of the sacred American principle
Of local self.government. aud merits the
condemnation OF ali just meu. The

The political power OF the Mormon
church in the territories, as experienced in
the past, is a menace to free institutions
too dangerous to be long suffered. There.
fore we pledge the Tepublica party to ap.
propnate legislation asserting the soveT-
eighty OF the nation in all territories
where the same IS questioned, and in
turtherance Of that end to place upon the
statute books legislation stringent enough
TO divorce the political from the ecclesias-
tlcal power, and thus stamp out the
attendant wickedness of polygamy.
The republican party is in favor Of the
use Of both gold and silver as money, and
condemns the policy Of the democratic
administration IN its efforts to demonetize
SILVER.
We demand the reduction Of letter
postage to cent per ounce.
In a republic like ours, where the
citizen Is the sovereign and the official the
servant, where no power is exercised
except by the will OF the people, it Is
important that the sOvereign-the people
should possess intelligence. The free
school Is the promoter Of that intelligence
which is to preserve US a free nation;
therefore, the state or nation, or both
combined, should support tree institutions
OF learning, sufficient lu afford to every
child growing up in the land the oppOr.
tunity OF good common school edu.
cation.
