THE PLATFORM.
Once more the Republicans Of the Com

to their party brethren throughout the
nation, and congratulate them and our
selves upon the victory won in 1888 by
the purity of Republican principles
and the patriotism of Republican citizen.
ship.
For the Chairman of our National Com.
mittee, Nj (. lay, we feel lasting sense
of gratitude for his matchless services IN
the last Presidential campaign, and COM
mend his bearing under the ISLANDERS
which his successful leadership of our
party has purchased for him. AS citi.
zen, a member of the General Assembly,
as Secretary of the Commonwealth under
two successive administrations, as State
Treasurer by the overwhelming suffrages
of his fellow citizens, and as Senator of
the United States, he has won and retains
our respect and confidence.
In keeping with the sympathy and the
duty of our party we make the following
declaration of principles for the better
meut of political government and the ben.
eft of our fellow.clhzens
We believe that every lawful voter has
the right to cast free ballot at every
public election, and have it properly
counted and certified; and we call upon
Congress to adopt such legislation as will
prevent suppressian or Justification of
the votes of our fellow citizens at cleo
tions for officers of the National Govern
ment and will end political slavery
throughout the nation.
Our care for the welfare of those who
upon the field of battle carried triumph
antly the principles of Republican faith
will end only when the last loyal soldier
of the civil war shall lave entered into his
honored rest, and we ask Congress to
grant per diem service pension to every
Union soldier and sailor who served in
and was honorably discharged from the
army or navy of the United States.
This claim which the citizens of the
border counties of our Commonwealth
make up on the General Government for
reimbursement for the loss they sustained
in their homes and property at the hands
of the enemy during the last war is one
which National patriotism should respect
and honor, and we urge upon our Con.
gressmen the use of every proper effort
to have it quickly and completely salts
fed.
We endorse the tariff bill called the
mckinley bill' in the form in which it
was passed by the House of Representa-
tives, and we denounce the criticism
passed upon that bill in the English Par
lament as an unwarranted interference
by foreign nation with the right of the
American people to protect American in.
dustries.
We reaffirm one of the earliest princi-
pies of our party when we declare that
American workers should, like American
manufacturers, receive National protec- |
ton, and we request of the General Gov
ernment the strictest enforcement of the |
laws forbidding entrance into and the EN-.
ployment in this country of pauper and |
contract laborers of foreign nations.
We urge upon Congress the immediate |
necessity of passing such legislation as
