Michigan in convention assembled
make the following declaration of
political principles:
FIRST
We indorse the present national Republican
administration and give expression to our con-
idence In the honesty, integrity and patriot

erection until the final cessation OF hostilities,

Russell A. Alger, and commend his conscier-
tious, patriotic and unseihsh devotion to the
honor Of the nation and thel welfare OF the
army. We denounce the unjust attacks made
on him and offer him our undivided support
and confidence.
THIRD

yer to free and unlimited coinage mt the ratio
