REPORTED THE FOLLOWING:
The State Republican League, of West
Virginia. in its sixth annual convention as
sembled, reaiirms the platform OF prInci-
pies adopted Dy the Republican National
Convention Of 1872.
We endorse again and with re
newed emphasis the national economic
policy which has promoted SaI
protected the industrial development
OF this country, which mas tOstersd tne
farming industry, ana was never more hec-
essarv TO the general welfare than IN Tails
dav Of Democratic falling prices and decL-
ming wages. A. Republicans we OeAeye
IN tair compensation for labor of all k.nuS,
whether OF the factory, the mine or lle
farm. We point TO the difference between
the rewards Of laCOr under hepuolcau
protection ana threatened Democratic Tree
trade. ana we ask all lovers Of their c0uu-
Try 70 iOin us IN reOuking al the p0As the
unpatriOtic party which mas confronted
the people with this condition, hapgAy
hitherto unknown 70 this generation.

We deuouuce the Democratic pa1iy Tor
conspiring with the most notorious ana
cOnfessedlV corrupt Of the trusts TO J@te
from the people an annual tribute or mili-
ions Of dollars, TO be divided between the
stock gamblers and the Democratic CAm-
paign fund
We denOuucs the Democratic party for

by a malicious spirit of sectional revenge.
We denOuuCe the Democratic party Tor

principle Of reciprocity, which has opened
70 the products Of our farms and work
shops new and profitable markets, without
6etrimeu5 to our la5Orers or manulacJu-
rers.
We denounce the treatment OF American
farmers ana wOrkiugmcu by the Demo
cratic committee of the Senate, which, 10
violation of every courtesy, and OF al leg
ls-ative uses and traditions, denied them a
hearing when they desired, IN proper and
reasonable manner, TO demonstrate against
destructive legislation.
We denoUuce the present Democratic
administration. Its bluEders aud failures
have e1 ceedeO the worst apprehension Of

unwise and Uu-AmeriCa- m ma cement Of

country from tie increasing pressure Of
q dead weight of ignorance too often
accompanied with helpless dependence and
vice. We favor such legislation as shall
impose for "a term Of years upon every im-
migrant head tax OF not less than 500;
also for q term Of years a prohibition Of
am labor immigration. We oppose the
alien ownership Of large bodies of land.
We favor such amendment OF the uatur-
RlizatiOu laws as shall require longer

cant.
We favor bimetaIlism. Silver as well as
gold, Is one OF the great products of the
United States Its congo and use as "a
circulating medium should be steadily

by the national government; aud we
advocate such policy as Will most speed

We denoUuCe the 8vOwod purpose of the
Democratic leaders 10 restore the era of
s'wlld.caJ' and ''red-JCgN money by re-
pealing the pvObjbijory ten per cent tax on
state bank issues. All money, Of whatever
kind, should be under national and not
state control.
We are amazed 40 the Democratic mem-
Der Of the House from the Second district
OF this State, who introduced the bill
which took away the increasing use of sil-
yer by the repeal Of the s0-caIIed Sherman
law. should have voted for forty or more
kinds Of local STATE money ana endorsed
wildcat money as preferable 90 silver.
We deuOunce the gerryWgUjer of the
legislative districts Of this state as unCOu-
stitutiOnal deprivug counties or their l0-
cal autonomy and representation in the
halls Of legislation
We welcome 10 cordial fellowship in tia
Republican party az TINS Crisis the men
who have heretofore been Identified
with other political organizations,
but now adopt aud support the
principles herein enuuciated, from patri-
otic considerations Of the good of our dis
tressed country. We applaud the mo-
tives which lead them 10 place country

and prosperity Of the people OF the United
States.
