OF Wnat IOur years OF heIuOllcdn
administration have demonstrated to be
necessary therefor; because its so 600
cx Confederate fathers and sons forci-
hly tell the disabled Confederate. or
the widow or orphans. Of dead Con-
federate soldier. that sympathy or sue
cor for each and all Of them can sure
ly be found in It's ranks. because t
favOrs the rights and demands Of
honest labor. whose wrongs as against
convict labor, imported pauper and
contract labor, unjust exactiOns in
taxes and read work, combinations Of
unscruDul0us capital, unfair laws un-
fair judicial decisions. &c, cry to earth
aud heaven for q redress more effectual
and speedy than the Democratic one of

either politics. business or religion, be-
cause 1t Is not on both sides, or no side.
of any public question, State or Federal,
because it fuiiil's its promises as
is record in Virginia proves. be-
cause il does not declare for
putting practical farmers in official
agricultural positions and then turn out
such farmers TO put in political editors.
ex-cayalry brigadiers, and the like. be-
cause IL does not prate Of unjust taxa
iiOns Of land and then increase its bur
dens by new assessments. because il
readiusted the State debt. which tne
/ Democrats have disadiusted. after ali
their vain and false protest actions to the
contrary: and because it alone has
shown an honest disposition and a COM
petent capacity TO manage this debt; be-
cause il is folly TO hope for Federal
Republican policy 10 prevail unless we
are manfully for it i'm all elections: be-
cause it is manifest that this party
offers the only free. rightful and peace
ful solution of the race and sectional
differences which the Democrats per
I sistently inlame; and because, in every
thing. State and National Republican,
ism truly represents the popular IN
spirations for American progress and
prosperity.
Fourth. That we are in favor of the
speedy restoration of silver to its full
monetary functions by its full and un-
/ limited coinage at the national mints,
and as "A step toward such action we
recommend the coinage of the maxi
mum amount low provided Tor by law
-Si.O00.O0O per month.
Fifth. That our party will foster the
oyster and fishing interests Of our
State. and protect the natural oyster
/ beds for The sole use Of our own people.
and Will oppose the transfer of these
rights To any one, and especially to for
/ eign fishermen, as advocated by Presl-
dent Cleveland IN his message on the
Canadian treaty.
Sixth. That we are for the repeal Of
all laws. Safe and municipal. whereby
our farmers and truckers are required
/ to pay specialstaxes for the sale Of their
products in the cities of the Common
wealth.
Seventh. That we proclaim as false
| the charge that the success Of the Re
publican party of Virginia would en-
/ danger the social order and civilization
of the State, and place ignorance and
| vice over intelligence and virtue. That
our party only demands the security Of
lfe. liberty and the pursuit of happi-
noes for an dwellcIs in the Old Domin-
ion. aud that all shall be allowed to ex-
ercise their political. civil and religious
relations IN accordance with the highest
civilization OF the age.
THE STATE DEBT.
And whereas there is 10 other public
question which SO directly and largely
involves the progress and prosperity Of
| Virginia and her people, nor so serious
ly concerns the good name OF this COM
mOnweaith. rs an honorable and con-
elusive settlement Of the State debt
which the managers of the Democratic
party for four years have had absolute
power and favorable OppOrtu
nifty TO DO. and have mean
while contented themselves with
measures that have only embar-
rassed the creditors. entrapped many of
our citizens into vexati0us and costly
difficulties. and generally aggravated a
situation already intOlerable. and
whereas the policy Of these managers
in the treatment OF this grave
and mOmentOus issue has been to
postpone and prOcrastinate, thereby
adding millions To- liabilities that hold
i'm mortgage all the property in the
State. and which i'm the end must be
met and satisfied. and whereas. il is
known that there is an opportunity to
effect the debt settlement, so deyOutly
desired. therefore the Republican party
of Virginia solemnly pledges itself.

the necessary power by the people. it
will settle the debt and the debt ques
4 tiOn wholly. finally and promptly, a it
has full knowledge that it do upon
terms that will not add TO the annual
burdens OF the people. and Will yet
leave the Commonwealth ample means
for the current expenses OF frugal ad-
ministratiOn, for general maintenance
of our admirable system of public free
schools and for munihcent provision
for our charitsble institutions and the
care OF our disabled soldiers.
POINTS WITH PRIDE.
The Republican party Of Virginia
3 points to its past record as surely for
, present promise and future fuliiment.
More practical than sentimental, 1t ad-
dresses the pockets As well as the pa
b triotism OF the people, and sure II Is
right. it will move straight on to yicto-
, ry. constituting the eyasiye. yet abusive,
ries. catch words and epithe.s Of pas
sion and prejudice as Democratic con-
J fessiOns OF wrong and Of merited defeat.
Peace and good will 10 all.
