10. We demand the enactment of
laws that will protect our people
against the influx of the vicious and
criminal classes, and the importation
of laborers under contract to compete
with our citizens. We demand the
rigid enforcement of existing immi-
grafton laws by the National Admin
istration.
II. We adhere to the Republican
policy of granting pensions to the
wounded and disabled Union soldiers
and sailors of the late war, and the
widows and orphans of such as are
deceased, and we condemn the un.
friendly and unjust policy already
made manifest by the present Demo-
cratic Administration.
12. We favor honest money, COM
posed of gold, silver and paper, main
tanned at equal value, and under
national, and not State regulation.
The financial honor of the country
must be maintained and its credit pre-.
served unimpaired. The weak aad vac
ilating course Of the present national
Administration in dealing with the
financial situation meets our condem-
nation.
10. We denounce the avowed pur-
pose Of the Democratic party to repeal
''the prohibitory 10 per cent tax on
State bank issues" Its purpose is to
abandon the present national currency
system established by the Republican
party, the safest and best ever pro-
vided, and to supply its place with a
local currency, issued under State
authority, which can never be either
safe or of uniform value.
For the Herald and Tribune.
Our Choice.
CHRISTIE, May 10th. Editor Herald
and Tribune: | am proud to see the
Republican papers of the First Congre-
sional district hosting the name of
Hon. w. p. Brownlow to their mast
head as their choice for q member of
the fifty fourth Congress. He is also
my choice and while l wish to speak
of him as such | have no slur or OBJ
stacle to cast in the way of others who
may aspire to this high position. But.
l feel and know that the Republican
party of this district are under obliga-
tons to Mr.. Brownlow for the noble and
patriotic work he has done to further
advance the aus of Republicans. He
has ever labored for the interest of the
nominees of his party from President
down to the smallest office within the
gift of the people. He has always
strove to bring the party together when
split and to heal the scars of factions,
to build up weak points in the party
and tear down the forts of the oppos
ing party. Mr.. Brownlow is as we'll
if not better prepared to represent his
people in Congress than any other
man in the district from the fact that
he has been at the Capitol for twelve
or fourteen years and is thoroughly
acquainted with all the departmental
work in its various branches and would
therefore know how to make his work
effectual. During Mr.. Brownlow's
connection in Washington he has al
ways been ready and willing to lend a
helping hand to the soldiers or any
one else who had a claim against the
Government. He has always been
punctunal in responding to CORES
pendence as hundreds of others know
as we'll as myself. Knowing the good
he has already accomplished for his
people we deem it only an act of JUS
tice that the Republicans of this CON
gresional district, vest in him the
power to do more for us, by giving him
the nomination and electing him To
Congress in 1894. Readers, allow Inc
to say that these are my feelings ex-
pressed unsolicited by Mr.. Brownlow
or any body else. S. X. II.
