The Platform Adopted.
The following platform was adopted
unanimously:
We, the representatives of the Republican
party in convention assembled, heartily In
dorse the nominees of the National Republican
Convention at Minneapolis and the platform of
principles laid down thereby.
Long sessions OF the Legislature are an un-
necessary expense TO the public and we con-
denim the practice and pledge the people that
If the Republican party has control of the next
Legislature business will be done with fidelity
and promptness; that the next Legislature
should submit TO the people constitutional
amendment providing that all compensation
to legislators should cease at the expiration of
100 days from date such Legislature shall con-
vene that condemn the practice of rail-
road companies in giving passes TO and the
same being accepted by legislators and other
public officials, and demand that such laws
shall be enacted as will effectually put stop
TO this evil.
We condemn the present State Democratic
administration for its subserviency to the eX-
actions of political demagogues who have
forced upon the intelligent people of Michigan
the nefarious Miner law, measure which
every fair-minded citizen condemns and which
Democratic leaders favor only in State where
there is n Republican majority. As illustrat-
ing the methods and practices of the Demo-
cratic party we call attention to its braZen
theft OF the Senate of this State during its last
session by unlawfully and corruptly seating
two usurpers in that body by the act of less
than a constitutional quorum thereof, thus
making II possible to enact the infamous
Miner law, the INSCRIPTIONS gerrymander
OF Congressional, Senatorial and Represent
alive districts, and much other legs-
lation which il disgrace to any
civilized people While pretending to reform
the executive and other departments, it has
been an example of inoapacity and nepotism,
and has so mismanaged State institutions as
TO seriously impair their usefulness and inn
peril their future. Michigan Republicans rely
on the cooperation of all good citizens in re-
deeming the State from such misrule, in or
der to restore IL to its former proud place az
one Of the best and most economically gov
erned States of the Union. We commend the
Republican party to all the voters of Michi-
gan as party worthy of their support and
deepest devotion. Its efforts evidenced by
and have resulted in n united country intel
ligent, happy homes, protection TO American
Industries, and policy of reciprocity and in
creased business.
