presented the following:
THE PLATFORM.
We, the representative Of the repuh
lcan party OF the state of Nebraska, IL
convention assembled, 10, hereby con
denim and arraign the democratic party
and its administration Of public affair
for its failure to keep Tire promise, II
made in its platform and by its leader
OF the campaign OF 1884; for denying Il
the people OF Dakota the rights IL state
hood; for its failure 10 reduce the sug
plus by reduction of taxes uud prorri
and necessary expenditures for public
improvements; for the effort il is uur
making to tear down the American sys
tenn of protection, fUstered and built hi
by the republican party around tlf
farm and factories Of America
As the business Of the country nov
demands revision the republican party
alive to the demands OF every mntcria
interest, will see 30 it that such revision
shall be made at the earliest practien
day. We condemn the action Of tn
democratic majority in congress, tbs
after repeated pledges OF tariff reform
it has utterly failed, while having d
large majority in the house Of repr,
sentatives, where tariff bulls must orig
nate, to bring about such reform whiri
must come from the party that has eve.
been the friend Of the American laltorgt
and producer.
We denounce the Mills bill az an NJ
tempt TO force free trade upon the
farms and manufactures and working.
men OF the north while giving protec.
ton TO the sugar and cotton planter of
tine south. Under democratic admin.
lstrntton great corporations have formed
trusts, and no attempt has been made
by the democracy in power 10 check
their growth. We condemn President
Cleveland in the use he has made Of the
veto power and in ordering the return
OF the rebel tlags, thereby lisgracing an
office that has been hOuored by Wash.
nston and sanctitied by the blood Of
Lincoln.
