AS IT then was so ii now is. the interests OF the
Nation as a whole. which is OF vital ana 40

The Republican party was forced TO ma ne"

now il was forced not TO follow ou' 70 mar
precedents In 1861 we had 10 preserve tne ne

that destiny The Republican party therefore
in it's State platform, does well TO relterate .le

and Porto Rico are ours, and in the East ana
IVES, Indies the interests Of the Nation shall be
safeguarded.
AS TO STATE ISSUES.
Nor is it alone on National issues that the Re-
publjcan party has it's duties to perform. The
record made by the Republican administration
in the State Of New-York Is a guarantee that
upon all questions affecting the properly rights
and interests and liberty OF al citizens the Re-
publican party can be safely trusted. AS we
pledge ourselves 10 uphold the National honor
abroad so we pledge ourselves TO enforce strict
honesty at home.
The National Guard must be raised 70 and
kept at the highest standard Of efficiency 1t
has amply proved its courage and patriotism.
and we are bound TO see that soldiers so brave
and so willing are properly armed and are han
died on the best possible system.
heartily concur In the doctrines enunciated
at Saratoga and If elected / shall earnestly
strive so to discharge the duties Of the Chief Ex
ecutive that at the end Of my term the people
shall find that their interests have been safe in
my hands.
