We declare the Republican party
has wisely met every national issue
and Iegislated for the good of the peo-

Quoted, satisfied that such platform
will embody the doctrines of the
party and contain the declaration of
those principles which will best con-
serve the welfare of the people. To
that platform then declared and to
the ticket then TO be nominated, we
can safely refer, satisfied they will

that ticket and the restoration of the
Republican party TO complete control

The CoIOred Vote.
I'VE congratulate the colored Repub-
icans of the United States upon their
manly stand for a free ballot and an
honest election, and demand from
every branch of the government a just
recognition of their rights and fair
and honest consideration of every sub
ject affecting the rights of that pro-
gressive and enlightened race.
And we again declare it as a cardi-
nal principle of the Republican party
that all local questions of the proper
of the republic shall be
to the respective states of
the Union"
