American For policy that will revive the
national traditions and restore the national
spirit which carried us proudly through the
eerlier years OF the century, 1t stands for
such policy with all foreign nations as will
insure both to us and to them justice, good
faith, dignity and honor. 1t stands for the
Monroe doctrine as Monroe himself proclaim
ed It.
1t stands for o commercial policy that will
whiten every sea with the sails of American
vessels flying the American flag, and that will
protect that flag wherever 1t floats
1t stands for fiscal policy opposed to debts
in time Of peace and favors the return OF the
government to q debt paying policy and OPP
poses the continuance OF the debt making poll
icy. 1t is too plain for argument that the pub
lie credit and commercial interests OF the
country require the revenues of the govern
ment to be amply sufficient for the public ex-
penditures at oil times without danger Of de-
ficit, and to that end congress should without
delay mako due provisions.
We contend for honest money; for q cur
repcy OF gold. silver and paper with which to
measure our exchanges that shall be as sound
as the government and as untarnished as its
honor; and to that end we favor bi- i-metalism,
and demand the use Of both gold and silver as
standard money, either in accordance with q
ratio to be fixed by an international agreement
II that can be obtained, or under such restric-
tions and such provisions to be determined by
legislation as will secure the maintenance of
the PARTIES OF values OF the two metals, so
that the purchasing and debt-paying power of
the dollar, whether Of silver, gold or paper
shall be at all times equal
We denounce the present administration OF
the pension bureau for its betrayal Of the in
terests of Union soldiers and we pledge anew
to the veterans OF the republic watchful care
and recognition of their just claims upon a
grateful people.
The people have triumphantly elected Gen.
Bushnell to the governorship the general as

Of Ohio that to-day has completed the fulfill

We honor the eminent sons of other states,
whose splendid services and high character
have justified their presentation to the Amer
