gle outburst OF discord. When the

Fingree element cast blank ballotS, and
the blank vote numbered l2l to ITO for
Rich and 80 Tor Bliss.
The speecemaking of the day was
not noticeable except in the presenta-
ton of Col. Bliss name for Governor,
when the advantages of the one-term
idea were dwelt upon. Charlie, L.
Bengiman, for Bliss, said il nominated
for one term only Governor would
not shape his policy with an eye single
to second. term, but to ma sc his adj
ministration bright one would be
the sole aim. Bliss received -YS

Col. Bliss were both brought into the

Declarations of the Platform.
The platform, after reaffirming de-
votion to the Republican party, indors-
ing the administration OF Gov. Rich,
approving the doctrine OF protective
tariff and reciprocity, declares:
We ret .nize that the employment of both
and prosperity OF our people. and that the en-
actment of such laws az will properly and
wisely avoid and settle labor difficulties is one
has always been and still is the friend Of the
humblest toiler. While we believe that gov
against against The he strong and to su5stitats
right for might. and that it is. therefore.
the duty of the. state. to regulate
all corporations and combinations SO a.
to pro, ect every right and liberty of the labor
err, we insist That law and order must be main
tained, and that the ballot box and court Of
justice and not the sword and torch must set
tie economic differences We believe in arbi-
trstfon as one OF the means to solve labor dis
putes and favor the enactment by the Legisla-
ture of laws to carry out the provisions OF
section %. article 9, Of the constitution Of the
State Of Michigan. which provides for estab-
ers and duties as shall be prescribed by law.
While we recognize the value and worth Of
people who have sought with patriotic heart
an d adopted his as their home and country,
we believe In protecting American wage ., earn
against the evil effects OF indiscrim1nate i'm
migration from the pauper and criminal Glasses
of Europe by wise laws that shall properly
restrict and regulate immigration.
We believe In the protection and elevation
that the safety of this republic depends upon
the inteiligence and loyalty OF its supporters;
that 1t should be susts ned for the welfare and
ervation thereof the right Of suffrage should
be limited to those who have fully acquired
American citizenship.
We believe that the security of life. the free
exercise OF personal rights and the enjoyment
of equal opportunities before the law are the
OF all governments. That as there can be no
liberty without free speech and the free exer.
else of personal and political rights of the citi-
party in the repeal Of the election laws. and
such action as an invitation to falsify by
and 0f A1d
laws that shall protect the citizen OF the re-
public at home as well al abroad.
We believe In the use of gold and silver as
money metals, to be maintained in circulation
on q perfect equality and interconverttbflity.
We recognize the so,cailed silver question a.
q mar ieauea n he Law
believe that the people OF this State and coun-
try can and do look to the Republican party,
party that can give a wise and adequate solu-
tion of this problem.
We therefore pledge the Republican party Of
Michigan to use every effort In its power to
restore silver to its historic position in the
United States os a money metal. We pledge
this In the belief that permanent prosperity
will not be assured or justice done until silver
takes it's place side by side with gold as one Of
the two great money metals OF the world.
