The Platform.
1.-THE republican party of Illinois
affirms it's belief in the great princi-
Piles of civil and religious liberty upon
which the government was founded
and under which the people have en-
joyed unexampled prosperity and hap
piness; and, believing that the restora-
ton of the republican party to power
In the government Of the country
would promote the general welfare of
the people and its chief condition OF
renewed prosperity, this convention
most respect fully and cordially invites
all good citizens. irrespective of politi-
cal antecedents. 10 unite in supporting
the republican candidate in the next
election. We earnestly maintain the
right and ju-tice of the Arneri'
can doctrine Of protection to Ameri-
can industries. In raising the
necessary revenue to maintain the gov
ernment We are in favor of such duties
on competing imports as will best tend
to tie development of the resources of
our own country, of the labor of our
own people performed at wages which
put the comforts of life within easy
reach and secure good prices for the
products of our farms, mines and work.
shops, and we believe that articles
that cannot b. successfully produced
in this country, except luxuries. should
be placed upon the free list.
1--WE furt er believe that the i'm por-
tation Of the so-called raw material

system of protection 10 American labor
and should only he employed when
the raw material is unob, ain able in our
ow II country.
1--WE denOunce rs unWise and un-
American the provisions of the So
called Wilson tariff bill modified in
the senate by the injection of weak
and inconsistent attempts to protect
special interests, now pending in COLI
gress, and we charge the democr a:ic
party with the sole responsibility for
the effort to destroy our tariff system.
which has proven the greatest boon 10
the great mass of American citizens.
"And we further declare that the
unusual and unnatural conditions now
existing between labor and capital.
which have led to lawlessness, blood
shed, interruption of business, and
brought misfortune to all, are the natu-
raj result of false economic theories,
vaciIlating policy and the hopeless in
com potency of the democratic party,
and to remove the evil thus created, to
restore prosperity and bring health to
the body Ct the people it is necessary
that the republican party should be
restored to power.
On BImc .allssm.
1--WE favor bimetallism and believe

with com plete interconvertibility un.
der legislative provisions as shall make
the purchasing or debt-paying powe,
of any dollar coined or issued by the
United States absolutely equivalent tc

issued.
I'VE asraign the present democratic
governor of Illinois as a most conspic.
uous case of official misstit. From the
day he was inaugurated he began to
debase and turn reformatories, charita'
ble institutions aud public parks into
infirmaries and asylums for politicians.
He has shown such wonderful aptitude
for doing the wrong thing at ali times,
that the people of the state, irrespective
| of party, await with undisguised i'm
patience the expiration of his term.
"This convention approves with all
cordially the answering fidelity OF
the entire republican delegation in con.
gress from illinois In the inaintenanc &c
| Of republicanism in the house Of repre-.
sentatives, and it also returns thanks
to Senator Cullom for his able, patriotic
aud vigilant opposition to that mon.
