The platform was as follows:
THE republicans of New Hampshire
congratulate their fellow citizens of all
parties on the near approach of an OPP
portunity to rescue their country from
the misrule of the democratic party,
which for three years has by its incom-
petence and wickedness paralyzed their
productive Industries and crippled their
mercantile and commercial enterprise,
destroyed much of the value of their
property deprived them of profitable
employment, and spread among them
disappointment, privation and distress,

national credit, cast suspicion upon the
national currency, and sullied the ma

never equalled, doggedly refuses to be
corrected by it's chastisement and per-
sists in using the power it retains to
perpetuate and intensity the misery and
disgrace it has brought upon US. To
the end that this great deliverance may
be fully accomplished, and our nation
may be restored to the honor, glory
and material prosperity to which 1t at

of our domestic industries, the promo

countries and the procurement OF abun-

the expense of foreigners who market
their merchandise in competition with

treatment of the Union veteran; for

Americanism, including the assertion of
the Monroe doctrine, and the moral and

Hon Thomas B. Reed of Maine, and
that pure and noble statesman and
champion of protection, the Hon. Will

the electoral vote of New Hampshire to
