Los Angeles herald., 1892-05-05

az the same can be done without injury
to the business interests Of the nation.
The Republican party ever has been
the friend and protector of the laborer
of the country, and in line with the
legislation which our party has given
them, we favor the passage of such laws
by congress as will protect American
labor against the importation OF prod
ucts of pauper labor, as we'll as against
the importation of contract or pauper
laborers, believing that by go doing,
| only, can we adequately secure 10 tne
| American laborer the full reward OF MS
exertions; and we demand a rigid en-
| forcement of the law limiting the hours
of public works to eight hours per day;
and we aleo demand such legislation as
shall utterly prohibit all Chinese immi-
grafton into the United States.
We favor an amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States providing
| for the election of United States sena-
| tors by direct vote of the people.
While we abate nothing of our words
of praise regarding the chief magistrate
| of the nation, we must express our pro-
| found conviction that in the whole for
eign policy of the administration we
| see traces of the master head so long
and lovingly known by all our own party.
| We recognize again and again the man
| who stands in the very foremost rank. OF
| living statesmen whose fame is world
| wide; whose name is household word
| in every American home, and who is
| the favorite son of every Republican in
every state of the American union
James G. Blaine.
HOW THE PLATFORM WAS RECEIVED.
As the reading of the platform pro-
gressed the reading was interrupted by
wild cheers, although the endorsement
of Harrison did not elicit so much. The
section in regard to more stringent nat
uralization and immigration laws called
forth the widest enthusiasm, lasting
several minutes. The hydraulic mining
section also seemed to meet with great
| favor. The sections about the Chinese
| question and popular election of SEN
ators were also very pleasing to the del
egates. The closing words of the plat
form about Blaine aroused the greatest
enthusiasm yet shown in the convention.
d. S. Dorm moved to amend the plat
| form by adding resolution endorsing
civil service reform, but the motion was
lost.
The report was then unanimously
adopted.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM RESOLUTION.
Dorm, of San Francisco, then offered a
civil service reform resolution and
moved that it be adopted by the con-
vention.
johnson of Sacramento moved to
strike out the section referring to often
sive partisanship.
Dorm objected, but the convention
struck out the section and adopted the
resolution, wich read as follows:
Resolved, That the principles OF civil
service reform inaugurated by the late
lamented Hon. James A. Garfield,
would, if carried out in its strictest and
truest sense, add to the credit of the ad-
ministration and serve as safeguard to
the rank and file of the Republican par
| ty; therefore. be it further
Resolved, That this convention en-
dorse and recommend the carrying out
in its fullest extent of the principles oi
civil service REFORM"
