; Curb On the Injunction Power.
I'VE declare for such amendments
OF the statutes OF procedure in the
federal courts with respect to the use
of the writ OF injunction as will. on the
one hand, prevent the summary issue
Of such orders without proper consid-
GRAFTON, and, on the other, will pre-
serve undiminished the power OF the
courts to enforce their process, to the
end that justice may be done at all
times and to all parties.
Justice For the Negro.
1.-THE Republican party has been for
more than fifty years the consistent
friend Of the American negro. 1t gave
him freedom and citizenship. It wrote
into the organic law Of the land the
declarations that proclaim his civil ami /
political rights, and it believes today |
that his noteworthy progress in intel
ligence, industry and good citizenship
has earned the respect and encourage
ment of the nation. We demand equal
justice for all men, without regard to
race or color.
Army and Navy Strengthened.
"The Sixtieth congress passed many
commendable acts increasing the eff
cheney of the army and navy; making
the militia Of the states an integral
part of the national establishment:
authorizing joint maneuvers of the
army and militia; fortifying new naval
bases and completing the construction
Of coaling stations; instituting a fe-
male nurse corps for naval hospitals
and ships. and adding two new battle.
ships, ten torpedo boat destroyers,
three steam Golfers and eight sub
marines to the strength of the navy. 7
I'VE adhere to the Republican doc.
trine Of encouragement to American
shipping. and urge such legislation as
will revive the merchant marine pres. u
tige OF the country, so essential to ma.
tional defense. the enlargement of for
eign trade and the industrial prosper sa
.ty of our own people.
Democratic Party's lneapacity. :
oil 1,a q a.
,an people to the fact that none of the
great measures here advocated by the
Republican party could be enacted. and
lone of the steps forward here pro
'osed could be taken under a Demo
ratio administration or under one in
which party responsibility is divided.
THE tariff could not be revised, a
permanent currency system could not
e established, the federal supervision
yer railroads and large aggregations
f capital could not be extended, nor
ould any of the new duties confront.
lg the country be performed by a
arty which is unable to agree within
self on any public question and is
nwilling to cooperate with a party -
lat can agree.
The continuance Of present policies
lerefore absolutely requires the con.
nuance in power of the party that
elieyes in them and possesses the ca.
lcity to put them into operation.
Beyond platform declarations there
e fundamental differences between
e Republican party and its chief op
nent which makes the one worthy
ID the other unworthy of public trust.
Difference Between the Parties.
I'm history the difference between
and Republicanism is that
e one stood for secession, the other
: the Union; the one for slavery, the
Ter for freedom; the one for a de.
sed currency. the other for a pure
rrency; the one for free silver. the
Ter for sound money; the one for
e trade. the other for protection;
one for the contraction Of Ameri
l influence. the other for its expan-
n; the one has been forced to aban-
| every position taken on the great
les before the people, the other has -
d and indicated all.
In experience the difference be. z
zen Democracy and Republicanism
hat one means adversely. while the
err means prosperity; one means
wages. the other means high; one
ans doubt and debt, the other means
fdence and thrift.
In principle the difference between
nocracy and Republicanism is that
stands for vacillation and timidity
government, the other for strength
purpose; one stands for obstruc
the other for construction; one A
nises the other performs; one
S fault, the other finds work. =
