We, the Republicans of Los Angelica
county in convention assembled, do re-
affirm the platform and principles
adopted by the Republican national
convention OF 1892.
The ranks of the old soldiers are
steadily thinning out, and in few
years they will all be gone from us. 1t
is fundamental principle of the Re-
publican party that the gallant dsfsnd-
ers of our country should receive every
consideration at our hand, and wa decry
any effort to cut off the small pension
which they monthly receive, and we de.
nounce the action of the present ad-
ministration in regard to pensions as
betrayal OF the welfare of the union sol
diers and sailors who preserved the
country and preserved the treasury of
the United States, and that the treat
ment OF the old soldiers ia most heartily
condemned by us. And we further
recommend that law shall be passed
which will exempt thosa who are
MANNED, from road duty and poll tax.
We demand the enactment of such
legislation as shall prevent the indis-
criminste immigration to this country
from foreign shores of vicious and
criminal class of laborers, OF paupars and
anarchists and that we may exact of
our representatives in congress a pledge
that they will do every thing in their
power to cause such legislation and en-
actments a. will restrict this class of
emigrants. And that we are in favor of
a system OF naturalization laws such as
will prevent the fraudulent natural'Za-
ton of foreigners; and are in favor of q
law requiring that a list OF persons
naturalized by the courts shall be for
warded to the state department of the
government, which list shall be kept for
references to prevent fraudulent voting.
And we also are in favor of requiring
that the applicant for citizenship shall
be able to read and write the English
language, and shall be acquainted with
our form of government go AZ to intelli-
gently respond to any question touching
tne requirements VI Ametican cltizeh-
ship.
We demand that the Chinese exclu-
sion act shall be rigidly enforced.
That We insist upon the purity OF the
ballot at any and all elections; that we
discountenance fraud and impositions by
arts and tricks upon this people; that
we favor the most simple and natural
methods that can be adopted to enable
the voters to give full and free express
aion at the primaries for their choice OF
delegates to convention.
We believe the tariff of 1890, known
as the Mckinley act, Is the expression
OF a patriotic principle of protection.
and we condemn and denounce any
attempt to repeal or amend the same
which does not have for it's object better
protection for labor and American inter-
ests than is insured by it.
The change from specific to ad valorem
duties is calculated to promote under
valuations, fraudulent invoices and to
increase the importatons, with loss
of revenue to the government, and will
result in a constantly increasing nation
al deficiency, which it is proposed to
meet by the resort to such war measures
as income tax and increased internal rev.
enue duties. We are in favor of tariff
laws which shall protect the products of
farmers and horticulturists as well as
the products of the factory. We also
demand sach protection for wool az will
insure fair prices to the wool growers.
We condemn the course of the present
Democratic administration in regard to
its Hawaiian policy and pronounce it q
national disgrace.
