the Platform.
The Republicans of New Hampshire, In
convention assembled, reaftirm their allie
glance TO that great progressive party which
stands today for the protection OF American
else OF their constitutional rights; for the
protection OF American capital and labor
from the ruinous competition Of the Old
World; for the protection OF American
homes from the curse OF intemperance and
the evils Of illiteracy; for the protection OF
American commerce from the rivalry Of sub
sidized foreign ship owners for the protec-
tion of the American ballot box from force
and fraud by political desperadoes, and for
the protection OF the government and the
preservation Of the Union.
I've assert that whatever In the leglsla-
tion or the administration Of public affairs
during the last 30 years has c0nduced TO the
true interests OF the country and promoted
Its moral and material advancement has
been the work Of our party accomplished In
spite Of our political opponents, and we main
tain that upon all the great present ques-
tions our party is as right as II has been up
on those Of the past.
We heartily endorse the clean, con-
sistent and capable administration Of Presl-
dent Harrison.
3-We applaud the efforts of the Repub bill
can majority In Congress to redeem the
pledges Of the last national campaign to ex-
ecute the edict Of the people at the polls In
1888. which will have been accomplished
when the measures that have received the
party's support In one or both branches Of
Congress shall become laws.
1--WE send greeting to Thos. B. Reed,
Speaker Of the House Of Representatives. to
whose genius and courage are largely due the
rescue Of the National House from the con
troll of an unscrupulous and reckless minor
ity which has met its masters in that magni-
fcient band Of Republicans upon the floor
Of the House, as 1t formerly met its masters
upon the field Of battle In the hosts of the
great captain to whom it surrendered at Ap-
p0mattox.
5-We approve the pension legislation of
the present Congress, which saves the
veterans Of the Union army and navy and
their families from ever becoming objects Of
charity. and we congratulate them that their
enemy, Grover Cleveland, Is no longer in a
position to defeat the just and generous pur.
poses Of a grateful country In regard to
them.
GIVE approve, as a whole, the Mckinley
bill as measure which will secure to our
home producers In all lines Of legitimate in-
dustry the home market. which Is the best
on earth.
7-While we favor the fullest protection to
American home industries against the pro-
ducts resulting from the starvation wages in
European and Asiatie countries, we also
strongly advocate, as entirely consistent
with such protection. the extension OF our
trade by liberal arrangements for reciprocity
with the nations Of the Western Hemis-
pending in Congress for the restoration of
American commercial shipping upon all
oceans and all judicious measures for the i'm
provement Of the navy Of the Union.
sE,The assumption ass mt, by the Republican
amendment and securing to every legal
voter, without regard to race or color. his
right to vote carries with 1t, In view Of the
alarming illiteracy which exists among. the
voting population Of the country, especially
among tbs newly enfranchsed colored peo-
pie and white citizens Of the Southern
states, the obligation to render liberal and
effective national aid to education, to be ex-
tended In such form and under such condi-
tlons as TO Congress may seem wise and ju-
dicious.
9-The Republicans of New Hampshire
approve of the recent legislation In Congress
against illegal trusts and combinations un-
uuiJ W luCEtdob The price 10
the American people Of the necessaries Of
life and ask for further appropriate legisla-
tion to the same end. We declare that the
wage workers Of the country ought to have
the free right to organize in order to secure
for themselves full wages, suitable hours of
labor and all other privileges and exemptions
which should belong to the workingmen of
the Republic, but neither organizations of
labor nor Of capital should be allowed TO vi
olate laws or to practice violence or intimi-
dation In any form, In any degree or under
any circumstances.
10-We demand the speedy enactment lnto
law OF the federal elections Dill, a mild, Just
and most necessary measure for the protec-
tion of tho ballot box.
The platform then extends a welcome to
the states recently admitted to the Union,
and deals with questions Of state politics.
Is called to the success of the Re-
publican administration In finding uses for
the so-called abandoned farms, and contin-
ued effort is promised against the evil Of the
dram shop.
The Second District.
At the second Congressional district Re-
publican convention this afternoon, Hon.
o. G. Moore of Nashua was unanimously re-
nominated by acclamation.
