A Imt(iu lur avaaty, Crvouire at Off or Caixtal Jourtul, The Republicans ol the United Slates, awembled by their delegates in National convention, pitise on the theshold of their prooefdings to honor the memory of their Urat great loader, the immortal champion of liberty and the rights of the people- Abraham Lincoln; and to cover also with wreaths of imtierisliable remembrance and cratitudo the heroic names of later leaders, who have more recently been called away from our councils Grant, (Jarlield, Arthur, Logan and Conkliug. May their memories bo faithfnlly cher ished. We also recall with our g'cetings and with prayer for his recovery the name ol one of our living heroos whoso memory will bo treasured in the history both of Republicans and of the Republic the name of that nnblo soldier and favorite son of victory, Philip II Sheiidan. la the spirit of those groat leaders, and of our own devotion to human liberty, and with that hostility to all forms of despot, ism and oppression which is the funda mental idea of tlio Republican party, we send fraternal congratulations to our fel low Americans of Ilraril upon their great act ol emancipation, which comploted tho abolition of slavery throughout the two American continents. Wo earnestly hope that we may soon congratulate our fellow alliens of Iiish birth upon tho peaceful recovery of homo rulo for Ireland. We affirm our unswerving devotion to tho National Constitution and to tho in dissolublg Union of the states : to the au tonomy reserved tho states under tho Con stitution : to the personal rights and liber ties of citizens in all the States and Terri tories in tho Union, and especially to tho supreme and sovereign right of every lawlul citizen, rich or poor, nativo or foreign born, white or black, to cast ono frco ballot in public elections, and to have that ballot duly counted. We hold tho frco and honest popular ballot, ami the just anil equal representation of ail tlio people, to ue tne lounoanou oi our republican government, ana demand ei fective legislation to socutn the integrity and purity of elections, which ate tho fountains of all public authority. We charge that the present administration and tho Democratic majority in Congress owe their oxisteiio; to tho suppression ol the ballot by a criminal nullification of the Constitution and laws of tho United States. Wo are uncompromisingly in favor of the American system of protection. Wo protest against its dostruction proposed by tho president and Ins party, lliey servo the interests of Kuiope; wo will support tho interests ol America, We ac eopt tlio issues and conlidcntly appeal to the people lor their judgment. The pro tectivo syBtein must be inaint.vnccl, Its abiindoumcui has always been followed by general disaster to all interests, except Iboso of tho usurer nnd tho sheriff. Wo denounce the Mills bill as destructive to tlio general business, the labor and the fjiniiug interests of tho country, and we htmttity unilorto tho consistent and patriotic actions of the Republican Rep resentatives in Congress in opposing its passngu. Wo condemn the proposition of the Democratic party to place wool on the free list, and we insist that the duties thereon shall bo adjusted and maintained so as to furnish full and adcipiato protection to that industry. The Republican parly would elTeot a'l needed reduction of the National revenue by lepcaluig tho taos on tobacco, which arc an annoyance and burden to agnculturo, and the tax upon spirits used in the arts and for mechanical purposes; and by such icvitlon of tho tariff us will lend la check imports of such articles as are produced by our people, tlio production of which givos employment to our labor, and release Irom imiMit duties those articles of foieign pro duction (except luxuries) tho like of which can not uo pioduccd at home. If there shall still remain a larger revenue that is requisite for (he wants ol tho government wo favor tho entire repeal of internal taxes rather than the suirendor of tiny part of our ptolectivo system at tho joint behest of the whisky trusts and the agents of foreign manufacturers. We declaro our hostility to the introduc tion luto this country of foreigu contract labor, and of Chinese labor, alien to our civilization and our Constitution, and we' demand the rigid enforcement of the ex isting laws against It, and favor such im mediate legislation as will exclude such lalior from our shores. We declaro our opiiosttion to all combin ations of capital organized in trusts or other wise, lo oouuol arbitrarily the condition ol trade among our citizens, and wo com. mend to Conttreas and to tho State Legis attires, in their respective jurisdictions, such legislation as Mill pies cut the execu tion of all soliemiM to oppress the people by undue charges on their supplies, or by un just iatw for the Iranspoilalion of tliiir products to mulct. Wo appioso the leg islation by Congress to prevent alike un just burdeua and unfair discriminations be I ween the States. We imirnrm the policy of appropriating the public lands of tho United Stales to bo homrstcadk for American cillieus and set tiers, not aliens, which tho Rspublican party established in 1S63, against lha jeritcnt opposition of the Demociats in Congress, ami which has brought our great Western domain into such magnificent development. Tho leatoiation of uuearu el land grants to the public domain for tho use of actual settlers, which was boguu under the adminislialiotiof 1'iesidetit Ar thur, should be continued. We deuy that the democratic utty hat ever restored one acre to the people, but declare that by the joint action 01 ieHiimcaus aim democrats, about filly miliums ol acres of unearned lands originally giauted for the construe, tion of istlioaJs have been rettoied to the HiMlc domain, in pursuance of the condi tions inserted by the lepubhcan party in the ortcinal crsnls. We cnatve the a em atve failut cute the laws securing lo settler lilies to their homesteads, and with using appro liatioua made for that purpose lo harass innocent settlers with spies and tHOeu Uous under false preUuce of exposing frauds and viudicAting the law. The ijovetawent by CongreH of tne Tentorial h based upon necessity only, to the end that they may become SUUs In the UnMtiilaettfeKtWbeiKvef thcooa. dltloni of poMuUtwe, EBiUiial iesoura, public UteUigeucc and Httrally at uoh as in i4wMjta a ilahla lsal mreftimetot thereto, the peopl of such TerritoilT furtnec exteaMon of the rMta system lUuUU twuiited.ua n&hOBtareati' I UeJy euUtbl by law, to all the them, to form for themselves a constitution and State government, and be admitted into the Union. Pending the prepara tion for Statehood, all officers .hereof should be selected from the bona fide residents and citizen ol tho Territory wherein they are to serve. South Dakota should of right bo immediately admitted as a State in the Union, under the con stitution framed and adopted by the people, and we heartily indoise the action of the Republican Senaie in twice passing bills for her admission. The refusal of the Democratic House of Representatives, for partisan purrjbses. to favorably consider these bills, s a willful violation of the sacred American principle of local self-government, and merits the condemnation of all just men. '1 ... pending bills in the Senate for acts to enable the people of Washington, North Dakota and Montana Territories t form constitutions should be passed without unnecessary delay. The republican party pledges itself to do all in its power to fa cilitate the admission of the territories of Now Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho and Ari zona to the enjoyment of self-government as states, such of them as are now quali fied, as soon as possible, and the others as soon as they may become so. Tho political power of the Mormoo church in tho territories, as experienced in the past, is a menace to free institutions too dangerous to be long suffered. There fore wo pledge tho republican party to ap propriate legislation asserting tho sover eignty of the nation in all territories where the same is questioned, and in turtherance of that end to place upon the statute books legislation stringent enough to divorce the political from the ecclesias tical power, and thus stamp out the attendant wickedness of polygamy. The republican party is in favor of the use of both gold and silver as money, and condemns tho policy of tho democratic administration in its efforts to demonetize silver. Wo demand the reduction of letter postage to 1 cent per ounce. In a republic liko ours, where the citizen is the sovereign and the official the servant, whero no power is exercised except by the will ol the people, it is important that the sovereign the people should possess intelligence. The tree school is the promoter of that intelligence which is to preserve us a free nation; therefore, the state or nation, or both combined, should support freo institutions of learning, sufficient to afford to every child growing up in the laud the oppor tunity of n good common school edu cation. Wo earnestly recommend that prompt action be taken by Congress in the en actment of such legislation as will bet secure tho rehabilitation of our American merchant marine, and we protest against tho passago by Congress of a free ship bill, as calculated to work injustice lo labor by lessening the wages of those engaged in preparing materials, as well as those directly employed in our ship yards. We demand appropriations for the early .-ubuildiiig of our navy; for the construction of coast fortifications and modern ordnance, and other approved modern means of defense for the protec tion of our defenseless haibois and cities; lor tho payment of just pensions to our soldiers; for necessary worKs of National importance in the improvement of harbora and the channels of internal coastwise, and foreign commerce; for the encouragement of tho shipping intorests of the Atlantic, Gulf and l'jciho States, as well as for the payment of the maturing public debt. This policy will give em ployment to our labor, activity to our va rious industries, luorease the security of our country, promote trade, open new and direct markets for our produce, and 'cheapen the cost of transportation. We atlirm this to be far better for our country than the democratic policy of loaning tho government money without mterest to "pel banks." The conduct of foreign affairs by the present administration lias been distin guished by its inefficiency and its coward ice. Having withdrawn from the Senate all pouding treaties effected by republican administration for the removal of foieign burdens and restrictions upon our com merce- and for its extension into better markets, it has neither eflected nor pro posed any others 111 their stead. Profess nig adherence to tho Monroe doctrine, it has seen with idle complacency the exten sion of foreign influence in Central America, and of foreigu trade everywhere among our neighbors. It has tefused to charter, sanction or encourage any Amer ican organization for constructing the Nicaragua oanal, a woik ot vital imori ance lo the maiutenauco of ihe Mouroo doctrine, and of our national inlluence hi Central and South America, and neces sary for tho development ol trade wuh our Pacific territory, with South America and with tho iilauds nud further coasts of the Pacific Ocean. We arraigu the present democratic ad ministration for its weak and unpatriotic treatment of tho fisheries quwtiou, aud lis pusillanimous surrender of the essen tial privileges to which our fishing vessels ate entitled in Canadian porta uuder the treaty ot 1S1S, the recipiocal maritime legislation of IS30, nnd tho comity of nations, and which Canadian fishing ves sels receive iu Ihe ports of the United States. We condemn the policy of the piesent admiuistration and ihe democratic majority in Congress toward our fisheries as unliiendly and conspicuously unpatri otic, and at tendiug to destroy a valuable national industry, aud an indispensable resource ot delcuso agaiust a foreign enemy. The name of America applies alike to all alliens of the republic, aud impose upon all alike the uuie obligations of obedience to the laws. At the ume lime that oitixenship is and must be the pan oplyand tafeguaid of him who wears tt, ami proteot him, whether high or low. tich or poor, in his civil rights. It should and must afford him protection at home. and follow ami protect him abroad in whatever land he may be on a lawful enaud. The men who abandoned the republican party in S&4, and oontmue to adhere ta the demooratio parly, have deserted net only the cause of honest government, of sosumi nuances, or ueettooi and purity ol the ballet, but especially have detoited tne cause of retain in the civil service. We will not (all to keep our pledge he cause they have broken theirs', or because their oaadkUlo has broken his. We, therefore, tefcat our dlaratso of 18&4, lo-wiij "The tefossa of the civil service, ausfMciowlr beffWBoJer the repubHeas adminUtraUoo' should be cooiplttai by grades of the service to which it in applic able. The spirit and purpose of the re form should be observed In all executive appointments, and all laws at variance with the object of existing reform legisla tion should be repealed, to tho end that the danger to free institutions which lurks in the power of official patronage may be wisely aud effectively avoided." The gratitude of the nation to the de fenders of the union can not be measured by laws. The legislation of Congress should conform to the pledges made by a loyal people, and be so enlarged and ex- lenaco as 10 pioviuu againsi me uusaiuiiuy that any man who honorably wore the lederal uniform shall become the inmate of an almshouse, or dependent upon private charity. In the presence of au overflowing treasury it would be a public Bcaudal to do less for those whose valor ous service preserved the government. We denounce the hostile spirit shown by President Cleveland in his numerous vetoes of measures for pension relief, and the action of the democratic house of representatives in refusing even a consid eration of general pension legislation. In support of the principles herewith enunciated we invite the co-operation of patriotic men of all parties, and especially of all workingmen whose prosperity is seriously threatened by the free trade policy of the present administration. Additional plank submitted by Mr. Boutelle of Maine, and adopted by an almost uuanimous vete: The first con cern ot all good government is the virtue and sobriety of the people and the puiity of the home. The republican party cordially sympathizes with all wise and well directed efforts for the promotion of temperance and morality. BOOTS AND SHOES. WM. BROWN & CO.
