Senator J. G. Hutchinson. OF Wapello County,
Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions,
presented the following resolutions as the plat
form of the convention, which Were adopted and
heartily cheered:
The Republican party OF Iowa, in convention
assembled, heartily indorse nominations OF Hgr-
rison and Morton, and give our cordial approval
to declaration OF principles adopted by Chicago
convention.
Thai we most heartily ndorse the administra-
ton of Governor Lafrabee, and commend the
courage and fidelity he has displayed in standing
for the rights OF the people.
That we declare our firm adherence to tie
other corporations. Having been created by the
government, they are OF right subject to such
Just law. may be enacted for their control,
aud must obey the same. We would deal as
Justly with corporate as with individual inter-
ests, but we demand that the people shall DO fully
projected in all directions from corporate rapac-
Ity, whether arising from determinations, COM
bfnes, railways, or other aggregated capital. We
commend the general railway legislation OF the
last General Assembly and demand that all just
proceedings and rates Hereunder shall be
yiaOrOu
That we repudiate the imputation that the
people Of Iowa are antagonistic TO the rights OF
capital or desire TO Cypress any corporation, but
we demand such legislation as will develop the
AGRICULTURAL industrial, and manufacturing in
forests of our STATE and at the same time render
a just equivalent for the capital and labor en-
ployed
We congratulate tho people Of our State on the
Temperance legislation inaugurated in the Eigh-
tee;IIh Cenoral Assembly, and on the faithful
obedience Of all subsequent General Assemblies
to the expressed will OF the ma
jority of thu people, which has given 70
lows the best prohibitory law in the United
Stats To tho credit of the Republican party
for its unseihsh and non-partissn respect for
the will of tho people, no backward step in
Iowa has been taken, ard none will be taken, on
this question vital TO the moral welfare OF
all our communities. In this connection, we re-
fer with satisfaction to the large decrease in the
popu alton OF our State prisons, the empty jails
In SO many of our counties, and the decreasing
costs and expense upon the criminal dockets
of the courts.
That We are CppOSeu 10 1resluenV IleNelhnu
policy of destroying our silver money to favor
an exclusive gold standard; hut we are in favor
of gold silver, and greenbacks and are opposed
20 their destruction or contraction as a circulat-
ing medium. We declare that the Democratic
maority in the lower house OF Congress has
show n its injustice I'm defeating the Senate bill
which directed the refunding TO Northern States
OF the direct war tax and in remitting the same
which was unpaid by the Southern States. This
tax would have placed in the treasury OF lows
about SsO0, 600, and to that extent would have
relieved Iowa taxpayers.
The Republicans of Iowa renew the expression
OF their sympathy with the people OF Dakota, vic
TINS of Democratic partisan discrimination
and in the interest OF the entire Northwest W,
appeal for national justice with reference to tn,
Territories
That we stand as ever, In favor o
liberal pensions TO our disabled veteran soldier
and their dependents, and we denounce Presi
dent lleveland's wholesale vetoes OF pension
bills and the spirit In which they have beer
uttered.
That we mourn with sincere sorrow the deatl
of the heroic Phil Sheridan the idol OF the soldier
aud pride OF the nation, and we, In common Will
ALI loyal people, realize that in his death w
have lost patriot, sol Ter, and citizen eve
true to country, to honor, and to duty.
HARMONIOUS GATHERING.
