the preparations for statehood, all officers
thereof should be selected from the bona fide
residents and citizens of the territory wherein
they are to serve. South Dakota should of
right be Immediately admitted as state in
the Union, under the constitution framed and
adopted by her people, and we heartily en-
dorse the action of the Republican senate in
twice passing bills for her admission The
refusal of the Democratic house of repre-
sentatlves for partisan purposes, to favor
ably consider these bills is willful violation
of the sacred American principle of local self
government and merits the condemnation
of all just men. The pending bills in the
senate for acts to enable the people of Wash
ington, North Dakota aud Montana terrific
ries to form constitutions and establish state
governments should be passed without I'M
necessary delay. the Republican party
pledges itself to do all in it's power to facili-
tate the admission of the territories of New
Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho and Arizona to the
enjoyment Of selfgovernment as states,
such OF them as are now qualified as soon as
possible, and the others as soon as they may
become So The political power of the Nor
mon church in the territories, as exercised in
the past, is menace to free institutions too
dangerous longer to be suffered Therefore
we pledge the Republican party appropri-
ate legislation asserting the sovereign
ty OF the nation in all territories where
the same is questioned, and in further
ance OF that end, to place upon the
statute books legislation stringent enough
to divorce the political from the ecclesiastical
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 it's efforts
to demonetize silver. We demand the reduc-
ton OF letter POSTAGE to one cent per ounce.

that the Democratic party has ever restored

the joint action Of Republicans and Demo-

of railroads, have been restored to the public
domain, in pursuance of the conditions in

that intelligence whichis to preserve us a free
nation; therefore the state or nation, or both
combined, should support free institutions

We earnestly recommend that prompt ac-s

of such legislation as will best secure the
reha Utilization of our American merchant
marine, and we protest against the passing
by congress of a free ship bill, as calculated
to work injustice to labor by lessening the
wages of those engaged in preparing materi-

ship yards. We demand appropriations for
the early rebuilding of our navy; for the
construction of coast Notifications and

execution of King Charles /. Shortly after
this period the Harrison family immigrated
to America and the next one that becomes
well known is Benjamin Harrison OF Virginia,
who performed an active part in all move

NO FREE WOOL.
We condemn the proposition of the Demo-
cratic party to place wool on the free list,
and we insist that the duties thereon shall
be adjusted and maintained so as to furnish
full and adequate protection to that iudus-
try. The Republican party, would effect all
needed reduction of the national revenue, by
repeating the taxes upon tobacco. which are
an annoyance and burden to agriculture,
and the tax upon spirits used in the arts and
for mechanical purposes, and by such revis-
ion of the tariff laws as will tend to check
imports of such articles as are produced by
our people, the production of which gives
employment to our labor, and release from
import duties those articles of foreign pro-
duction (exceptlu1uries) the like of which
cannot be produced at home. If there shall
still remain a larger revenue than is requisite
for theswants of the government, we favor
the entire repeal of internal taxes, rather
than the surrender of any part
of our protective system, at the joint behests
of the whisky trusts and the agents offoreign
manufacturers We declare our hostility to
tie Introduction into this country of foreign
contract labor, and for Chinese labor, alien
to our civilization and our constitution and
we demand the rigid enforcement of the ex-
listing laws against it. and favor such imme-
date legislation as will exclude such labor
from our shores. We declare our opposition
to all combinations of capital organized in
trusts or otherwise, to control arbitrarily the
condition OF trade among our citizens and
we recommend to congress and the state leg
islatures in their respective jurisdictions such
legislation as will prevent the execution of all
schemes to Cypress the people by undue
charges on their supplies, or by unjust
rates for the transportation Of their prod
