by the states themselves, then
by the general government. A
fraud against any citizen in any election
for national officers IL a fraud against
ourselves. We believe In the same laws
for the rich and the poor. the strong and
the weak, for the corporation and the
individual, and In tho enforcement of oil
laws earnestly ms long as they remain In
our statute books, and we pledge our
hearty support TO our Judiciary and to
all civil officers, federal and state, In the
administration Of the same, impar.ially,
confidently relying upon them as suf.
fcient at all times for the maintenance
OF order and tho equal protection of all,
and we will resist the invasion OF the
state by hired mercenaries of any sort,
ut any time and under any pretense, as
an invasion Of our rights.
The first achievement OF the repub.
lcan party was to make all labor free.
To elevate, protect and dignity 1t has
always been its constant care, and 30
will continue to be. In this age Of prog
ress and invention the artisan is rapidly
advancing to position of the highest
dignity and usefulness. To promote
and encourage that advancement by
every practical means 10 tho most gem
uine assistance that any party or gov
ernmont can give the laboring man in
solving the difficulties that beset him.
We, therefore, recommend that
liberal portion of the income
from the public lands, donated to the
state for educational purposes, be de-
voted to the better instruction of the
pupils in the public schools in the
useful arts, and that free school of
| technology be established as soon MS
may be, where q higher education of
the same sort may be acquired even by
the humblest
We recommend to the legislature tho
immediate enactment of such laws as
may be necessary to protect the title of
the state TO the school lands.
We demand that liberal appropriations
be made by congress for the survey of
the public domain in this state, and that
such a policy shall DO pursued by the
federal government as will enable the
state to acquire title to the lands granted
to the state for public schools, the erec-
tion of statehouse. and for the endow-
ment of other public institutions.
