Ims Won oH to the ltejMililioins of Grant County for cttiiiiMiu nunim-ex, and they run it as best -nU tliem. Statk Platform. The republicans of the State of Oregon convention assembled reuflirtnni'j their allemencc. to and confidoncJ in the reat repubiican party of the nation, of whose iraml achievements and long and successful administration of t ho govern men t of tie United States they have so much to be proud, and the jdory "f which thev are entitled to share, now make and pi.t.sent the following statements 0f their principles and policy: . fllvor honest and efficient administration of depaitments of government, both state and na tional. The light of the citizen author ized by law. to h ive his vote hon orably counted ought to be res pected, "and all efforts to curtail or limit that right deserves the con demnation of all good citizens. That the policy of the demo cratic administration which would place wool and lumber on the free list and woolen gondsjon the high ly protected list, cotton ties on the free list and other similar hoop iron in the protected list, and which policy would continue the collect on of S.'iO.COO.noil on sugar each year, while at the same time the majority applaud and claim to carry out the president's ide.i that a tariff tax is a robbery of the people, constitutes a piece cf un paralleled political dishonesty, having for its sole object the suc cess of the democratic par'y at the next election, own at the practi cal distinction of many of our most important agricultural and manufacturing industries. We favor the policy of provid ing chiefly for the revenues of the general government, and for other purposes essential to the general government, a system of duties levied on imports, so adjusted as to discriminate in favor of demes tie industries and productions and in favor of American labor, and we declare in favor of reducing the annual surplus revenues of the government by admitting free of duty such articles of general use as cannot be largely produced or manufactured by our people. That we deprecate the attempt of the democratic administration to degrade the honest toil of America to a level with the pauper labor of ihe old woid. That while disclaiming the right to interfere with the administration of the internal aii'aiiv of foreign nation", wo sincerely approve the efforts of Irish and English states men to secure bv neaceful meth ods the American ptinciple of "home rule" for Ireland. That we are in favor of such leg islation as should prohibit and pun- isii the manufacture oi s Ie of a uil- terated food. That we are in favor of the enact ment of a law bv congress where- by the ho:netetd o-pie-emptioii rights of tettlers shall be forfeited by cancellation of filings by the hnd department when settlement or nuiif? is m ute in go I iu:t. Jhat we favor the encouraging ;d development of our .State by the construction ot railroads and other means of transportation, and that we hold all corp -rations to ! Ik? strictly responsible to their b, , ,;,;c , nize the right of legislature to ox act all reasonable limitations on corporate power. That we regard the further im :!ji:.t!i :i into the t'uitod .States, .r Clii..( i hiiorers as directly o- .,0 t.. lo ti,t. interests of the Amer i.-an laborer, and we therefore heartily approvo the action of the roptibh ;m senate by providing by proper legislation for so amending our treaties with Chini as to pre vent their further immigration hero. We recognize that the nation owes a debt to the surviving veter ans of the great rebellion, which tauuot bj adequately paid, and ranted assumption of the right to use for political purposes the tro phies of a valor he did not pos sess and the fruits of a victoiy he diil not help to secure.

Wo denounce and deplore the refusal of President Cleveland to appro 9 the last river and harbor bill, and we denounce the action of the last secretary of war in what seems to be a studied attempt to delay the improvement of the Col umbia river; and fully recognizu our waterways ns regulators of freight charges, not only on the waterways themselves but on' the railroads as well, we insist that our great rivers should be free and op- ii to tin; sea, and we demand of the general government needed appropriations .thetefoie, at the same time recommending to the next legislature to take proper and adequate steps to assist at once in opening the great river to general commerce We denounce the civil service reform professions of President Cleveland as a sham and fraud, as promises made to secute voles before election, and the violation of them which has been as constant as the hunger of the democratic office sce'eer could demand.
