Z Of the National League OF Republican
clubs Of the United States, in convention
bled at the capital of the Centen-
n nial state. bow their heads in sorrow and
II humiliation at the spectacle of incapacity
which the Democratic party nSasents to
our country, and deplore the calamities
which the giving of power 60 the present
administration has brought upon our
people.
We congratulate the American people
that this administration was compelled
BY public opinion to abandon the un-
American Hawaiian policy.
In contrast with the shameful record of
the Democratic party. we exult over the
record OF glory which the Republican
party has made. It's achievements and its
triumph, extending over 80 years, estab-
lish 1t as the most masterful and en-
lightened political organization that has
ever existed.
In the face of the present disaster to
our country. IL IL with increased solemnity
that we once more renew our allegiance
I 70 the Rcpu blican party and proclaim its
cardinal principles.
We believe In q free ballot and fair
count, and we demand such legislation as
will insure 30 every citizen the right to
cast one free ballot in any election, and
TO have that ballot honestly counted as
cast IL Is noteworthy fact that the
Democratic party In congress. consistent
In nothing. was unanimous for the repeal
ofthe federal election laws, thus showing
Itself the party Of fraud.
For Protection.
We declare our belief In the doctrins of
protection to American labor, American
Industries and American homes. We
also believe In such reciprocal trade with
other nations as will increase the market
xsr products of our farms, factories, for.
ests and mines, without Increasing the
competition which tends to lessen wages
and TO degrade our labor.
We denounce the proposed vicious and
destructive legislation known as the Will
eon bill. and earnestly appeal to the Re
publican United States senators to pre-
vent Its passage by all honorable means
We believe In the use of gold ana silver
- money metals maintained on per-
kect parity.
We do not believe that there will be
permanent return OF prosperity of our
eountry until the full use and highest !
position ef silver shall be restored, and |
we fAvor such legislation as will bring
about this result
The Republican party is the constant
Iuend OF the soldiers and sailors of the
Union The promises and pledges of the
Democrasic party to the defenders of the
rpublic before election were false and
.randulent. and have been shsmefnIIv
Iisregarded since election. We condemn
the treatment now accorded
he helpless, manned and crippled de-
enders of the flag, and to the widows and
rphans of our dead patriots, as unfair
nd cruelty UNJUST
We arc heartily in favor of the prompt
omission into the Union of the terri
ories of Utah. New Mexico, Arizona and
)klahoma, and we condemn the policy
{ the Democratic administration in ex-
luding and depriving them of their
|ghts.
We demand that new safeguards be in
in our immigration and
aturalization laws to prevent unworthy
immigrants from landing on our shores
nd from obtaining citizenship.
Weagain commend to the favorable con-
deration OF the Republican clubs of the
ntted States, as matter of execution
