ries to form constitutions and establish state

pledges itself 70 do all in its power TO facili-

Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho and Arizona 20 the
enjoyment Of selfg0vernmeht as states,
such Of them as are nov qualified as soon as
possible, and the Others as sUDn as they may
become so. The political power OF the Nor

the past, is a menace TO free institutions too
dangerous longer 20 be suffered. Therefore
We pledge tho Republican party appropri-
ate legislation asserting the sovereign

the same Is questioned, and in further
ance Of that end, TO place upoa 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 reiuc-
ton of letter postage TO one cent per ounce.

In republic hike ours, where the citizens Is

where no power Is exercised except by the

that intelligence whichis to preserve us free
nation; therefore the state or nation, or both
combined, should support free institutions
of learning, sufficient to afford to every
child growing up in this land the opportu-
nifty Of good common school education.
We earnestly recommend that prompt ae-
ton be taken by congress in the enactment
of such legislation as will best secure the
rehabilitation 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-
ais as well as those directly employed in our
ship yards. We demand appropriations for
