/. The Republican party of Iowa in conyen.
ton assembled gives renewed expressions OF
devotion to the principles OF the National Re-
publican party and declares the acceptance OF
those principles to be the bond of union with
the Republican party of Iowa.
2. We commend the patriotic, wise and
courageous administration of President Harri-
son.
8. We commend the Republican party IN
the last congress fc. its redemption Of the
pledges made the people as to revision OF the
tariff in the interest OF home industry and OF
its work In behalf of the liberal provision for
pensions for oil soldiers in accordance with
the pledges of the nation.
t. We approve the coinage act by which the
great product of the silver mines of the United
States is added to the currency OF tine people,
and out of which experiment may come wise
adjustment of financial questions, liberal to-
wards western interests.
8 We commend most heartily the policy
that has been inaugurated looking to recipro-
cal trade relations with other people OF the
American continent, and the administrative
efforts now making for the enlargement OF
foreign markets for American beef and
pork.
6. We assert that the Republican party
stands of record in every state OF this Union
In favor of elections based upon the freedom
of individual conscience, and that the Repub-
lican party may be trusted in Iowa or In any
state to promote any plan of reform, Austrai-
ian or other, calculated to extend and to frirth-
er protect the purity of the ballot.
z. While inviting to our shores the worthy
poor of all nations, we earnestly recommend
laws that will protect our country and our peo-
pie against an influx of the vicious and crimi-
nal classes of foreign nations and importation
of laborers under contract to compete with
our own citizens and earnestly approve the
rigid enforcement of these laws, and of such
further legislation as may be necessary.
s. We favor such legislation as will impose
upon all classes of property, corporate or indi-
yidual, equally the burdens OF taxation.
Q. We favor the passage of the Conger lard
bill state legislation tending to promote farm
ers' institutes and enlarging the powers of the
dairy commissioner.
10. We regard the Worlds Columbian Ex.
position rs an important event in the worlds
history, and we are in hearty sympathy with the
effort to make it a success. In the friendly riv
airy of states VIC shouldimake credtable cx-
hibit of Iowa's products, ana we favor q lib
cral appropriation by the next general assem-
big for this purpose, that our prosperity and
greatness may be fully exempliten.
II. We take pride in the record of this state,
and recognize that its growth and power, its
Prosperity and its good ZANE are the fruits OF
its industrial people, and we believe IN such
policy, state and national, as will promote JUS
tice and wider opportunity among these
classes, and we pledge our most intelligent
Judgment and most sincere endeavor to their
support in the future as in the past.
IL We point to the record Of the state I'M
der Republican administration for justifca-
ton in the declaration that We favor economy
and Justice IN the administration of public af-
fairs. We point to that record also for justfi-
cation OF the statement that the party has
kept faith with the people in the past and
upon tnat record we invite their continued
support and confidence.
10. We have no apologies to offer to the
people nor TO the Democratic party for the Re-
publican record in the conspicuous issue In
the state campaign this year. In the inter
csts az true temperance and under the laws OF
Iowa enacted by the representatives of its SOW
crrign people, the saloon was made an outlaw
in this state. We charge that the outlaw has
had the patronage. counsel and protection OF
the Democratic party; that the Democratic
party, as il has won power, has nullttied the
law, defed the authority OF the state and the
expressed will OF the people, and that now an
appeal Is made to the electors Of the whole
state for approval of the lawless work. We
recognize that IL is.law against defiance OF
law, subOrdination against INSTRUMENTATION (;
the state of Iowa against the Democratic
party. We recognize that the issucis between
true temperance and free and indscriminate
traffic. We renew our pledge to the people
and submit the issue to them. We recognize
the fact that the control of the next legisla-
ture 10y the Democratic party means state wi 'e
license, and the control of the next legisl' ture
by the Republicans means continued OF posi-
tion to the behests of the saloon lower
Law.
A. We deuounce the Democratic party OF
Iowa rs insncere in its dealings with the sa-
loon issue, We charge that party with service
10 the saloon and with the purpose TO strength
en- the saloon grasp upon the homes and poll
ties of the STATE. We cite In proof OF this its
surrender this year of the local option plank
Uf 1889, under which last year the pretense OF
endorsement by the state was made and on
which petition for the legislature was made.
hat Nn,, .
ton is the forerunner for further premedlta-
ted betrayal aud that trust in the Democratic
party will end in the complete breaking down
Of the temperance legislation Of the state and
the complete turning over of the state in every
township thereof to the pollution and tester
OF the saloon against whatever portions may
now be free.
Is We protest against the reelection OF
Boies to the gUvernorshp OF Iowa. " c charge
that in his unwise and ambitious zeal TO cGltI-
waite the friendship and support of the alleged
new allies in the northwest" and on that
strength to commend himself to the fayoring
graces OF Grover Cleveland, that he did most
outrageously misTepresent the most industri-
Gus, frugal and prosperous people of Iowa In
his efforts at banquet speech in the city
OF New York on the 23d of December last. We
deuounce Us purposely misleading the alleged
statistics with which the governor assumed 10
sustain the indictment against the state which
had digniiici his name
10. we ucnOlnce the titunWa platform OIL
this year as framed with the deliberate pur-
pose TO mislead and deceive, wherein sympathy
as expressed where none is felt; wherein hope
is Tropo'ed where none will he rendered
wherein purposes are avowed which are moi
entertained. In the support Oi this indict
incentive point to the pretended friendship for
the soldier and arraionment at the sam. time
nf the Republican party for appropriations for
the payment OF pensions; to the free silver
plank intended to deceive the supporters OF
Tree and unlimited coinage of silver; to the
plank assuming 10 rcatfiTIn the doctrine OF
control and regulation of railroads a policy
implanted upon this state under the admins
iraton of the last Repub lean governor
against the opposition, secret and open, OF
the Democratic party, extending to an alliance
with corporate power in the first election OF
railroad commissioner under the law in 1886
Il. We dcnouucC the Democratic party fol
misrepresentation in its platform and before Of
the Mckinley bill, charging that 1t seeks t.
mi Head the people through the reiteration Of
uutruths as 10 the effect of chat bill, and in al
