FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
The declaration OF the platform touching
foreign immigration is one of peculiar I'M
portance at this time, when our own labor
Ing people are In such great distress. 1
am in hearty sympathy with the present
Legislation restricting foreign immigra-
ton, and favor such extension Of the laws
as will secure the United States from in
vasion by the debased and criminal classes
OF the Old World.
or the soldiers and sailors he says: The
soldiers and sailors of the Union should never
he neglected nor forgotten. No deserving
applicant should ever suffer because of a
wrong perpetrated by or for another.
The declaration in favor OF upbuilding
the merchant marine meets his hearty ap-
proval, and he CONES out strongly for civil
service reform.
IT DEMANDS SRECIAL ATTENTION
He concludes: There are other important
and timely declarations in the platform
which l cannot here discuss. l must Con-
tent myself with saying that they have my
approval. Ii, as aRepublicans, we have
lately addressed our attention, with what
may seem great stress and earnestness, 10
the new aud unexpected assault upon the
financial integrity OF the government, we
nave done II because the menace is SO
grave as 10 demand especial cousidera-
ton. aud because we are convinced that IL
the people are aroused to the true under
standing aud meaning OF this silver and
Initiation movemeat, they will avert the
danger. In doing this we feel that we
render the best service possible to the
country, aud We appeal to the intel
igence, conscience and patriotism OF the
people, irrespective of party or section, for
their earnest support.
IT WILL MAINTAIN LAW AND
ORDER.
We avoid no issues. We meet the sud
den, dangerous aud revolutionary assault
uponlaw and order, aud upon those To whom
is confided by the Constitution and laws
the authority to uphold and maintain them,
which our opponents have made, with the
same courage that We have faced every
emergency since our organization as
party, more than forty years ago.
Government by law must first be assured;
everything else can wait. The spirit of
lawlessness must be eXtinguished by the
fires OF an unselfish aud lofty patriotism.
Every attack upon the public faith and
every suggestion OF the reputation OF
debts, public or private, must be rebuked
by all men who believe that honesty is the
best policy, or who love their country and
would preserve unsullicd its national honor.
