Tho Republicans ol the United States, assembled by their delegates in National convention, pause on the theshold of their proceedings to honor the memory of their Drat great leader, the immortal champion of liberty and the rights of the people Abraham Lincoln; and to cover also with wreaths of imperishable remembrance and gratitude the heroic names of later leaders, who have more recently been called away from our councils Grant, (Jarlield, Arthur, Logan and Conkltug. May their memories be faithfully cher ished. Wo also recall with our greetings and with prayer for his recovery the name ol one of our living heroes whose memory will be treasured in the history both of Republicans and of the Republic the name of that noble soldier and favorite son of victory, Philip II Sheiidan. In tho spirit of those treat 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 the Republican party, we send fraternal congratulations to our fel low Americans of Urazil upon their great act ol emancipation, which completed the abolition of slavery throughout the two American continents. Vc earnestly hope that we may soon congratulate our fellow- citizous of Irish birth upon the peaceful recovery of home rule for Ireland. We alurm our unswerving devotion to the National Constitution and to the in dissoluble Union of the states : to the au tonomy reserved the states under the Con stitution : to the personal rights and liber ties of citizens in alt the States and Terri tories in the Union, and especially to tho supreme and sovereign right of every lawlul citizen, rich or poor, natno or foreign born, white or black, to cast one free ballot lt public elcotions, and tu have that ballot duly counted. We hold tho free and honest popular ballot, and the just and equal representation of all tho people, to be the foundation of our ropubhean government, and demand ef fective legislation to sccurn the integrity and purity of elections, which are the fountains of all public authority. Wc chargo that the present administration and tho Democratic majority in Congress owe Ijicir existcuc: to tho suppression of the ballot by a criminal nullification of the Constitution and laws of the United States. Wo are uncompromisingly in favor of llir American system of protection. Wo protest against its destruction proposed by the president and his party. They serve the iuteicsts of Kuiopc; wo will support tho Interests of America. We ac cept the issues and confidently appeal to the people lor their judgment. The pro tective system must be maintained, Its abandonment 1ms always been followed by general disaster to all interests, except those of tho usurer and tho sheriff. We denounce the Mills bill an destructive to tho guner.il Iiusiiicbs, the labor and the farming interests of the country, and we heartily endorso tho consistent and patriotic actions of the Republican Rep resentatives in Congress in opposing its passage Wo condemn the proposition of the Democratic parly to place wool on the free list, and wc insist that the duties thereon shall bo adjusted and maintained so as to furnish full aud adequate protection to that industry. The Republican party would effect a'l needed reduction of the National revenue by repealing tho taxes on tobacco, which arc an annoyance Mid burden to agriculture, and the tax upon spirits used in the arts inid for mechanical purposes; and by such revision of tho tariff us will tend to check imports of such articles as are produced by our people, tho production of which wives employment to our labor, and release Irom import duties those articles of foreign pro duction (except luxuries) tho like of which can not be produced at home. If there shall still remain a target revenue that is requisite for the wants ot tho government we lavor tho entire repeal ol internal taxes rather than the surrender of any part of our protective s)stem at tho joint behest of the whisky trusts and tho agents of foreign manufacturers. We declare our hostility lo the Introduc tion into this country of foreign 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 labor from our shoies. We declare our opposition to nil combin ations of capital organized in trusts or other wise, to control arbitrarily the condition ra'iSsIl IU,Jtl,XlU,t.5l5r.,;,,,Ate J0' "aJc rB ourclU.., and we com audlr dmllned to Han Francisco, should nminiio lo ai uo ai unpium tnu iciiIiie Ixtrorv date of halllnu'.

We reaffirm the policy of appropriating (lie putiiio lands ol tho united states to bo homesteadk for American citizens and set tlers, not alieui, which the Hrpublicatt party established in 1862, against tho jveritent opposition of (he Democrats in Congress, and which has brought our great Western domain into such magnificent development. The restoration of uuearu est laud grants to the public domain for tho use of actual settlers, which was begun under the administiaiion of Presulet-t Ar thur, should be continued. We deuy that the democratic p-uty has ever restored oue sera to the people, but declare that by the joint action of republicans aud democrats, about fifty millions ol acres of unearned lands originally grauted for the construc tion of railroads havo been restored to the public domain, in pursuance of the coudi lions Inserted by the 630 ACRES W4l watt-red ami plvnty t UiuImt, Two mmm Mttd tnu iMrHS.

We charve the dem ocratic adnunisliaiiou with failure to exe cute the laws securing to settlers titles to their homesteads, and with using appro bations made for that purpose to harass innocent setilers with spies and pioseou tious under false preltuce of exposing frauds and vindicating the law, The government by Congress ot the Territories is based upon ucccasily only, to Ihe end that they may become Statxs In the Union; therefore , whenever the coo unions 01 population, mateilal letourccs, public Intelligence aud morally are sueh at to teouio a ttable local government therein, the people of such Territories should be permuted, m a nKht inherent i' 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 citizens ot tho Territory wherein they are to serve. South Dakota should of right be 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 Senate in twice passing bills for her admission. The refusal of the Democratic House of Representatives, for partisan purposes, to favorably consider these bill", s a willful violation of the sacred American principle oflocal self-government, aud merits the condemnation of all just men. The pending bills in the Senate for acts to enable the people of Washington, North Dakota and Montana Territories to 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 New Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho and Ari zona to the enjoyment of self-government as states, such ol them as are now quali fied, as soon as possible, and the others as soon as they may become so. Tho political power of tho Mormon church in the territories, as experienced in tho past, is a menace to free institutions too dangerous to be long suffered. There fore we pledge the republican party to ap propriate legislation asserting the sover eignty of the nation in all territories where tho same is questioned, aud in furtherance of that end to place upon tho statute books legislation stringent enough to divorce the political from the ecclesias tical power, and thus stamp out the attendant wickedness of polygamy, TWo republican party is in favor of the use of both gold and silver as money, and condemns the policy of the democratic administration in its efforts to demonetize silver. Wo demand the reduction of letter postage to 1 cent per ounco. In a republio like ours, where the citizen is the sovereign and the official the servant, whero no power is exercised except by the will of the people, it is important that the sovereign the people should possess intellicenco. The free school is the promoter of lhat 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 land the oppor tunity of a good common school edu cation. We earnestly recommend that prompt action be taken by Congress in tho en actment of such legislation as will bet secure tho rehabilitation of our American merchant marine, and ws protest against tho passage by Congress of a free ship bill, as calculated to work injustice to labor by lessening the wages of those engaged in preparing materials, as ell ns those directly employed in our ship yards. We demand appropriations for the early .ebuilding ofouruavy; for the construction of coast fortifications and modern ordnance, and other nppioved moacin means 01 defense lor the piotec tiou of our defenseless harbors and cities; tor the payment of just pensions to our soldiers; for necessary works of National importance in the improvement of harbors and the channels of internal coastwiso, and foreign commerce; for the encouragement of tho shipping interests of the Atlantic, Gulf aud Pncihc States, as well as for the paymeut of the maturing public debt. This policy will ne em ployment to our labor, activity to our va rious industries, lucrease the security of our country, promote trade, opeu new and direct markets for our produce, and cheapen the co5t of transportation. We alhrm this to be far better for om country than ttye democratic policy of loaning tho government monoy without interest to "pet banks." The conduct of foreign affairs by the present administration has been distin guished by its inefficiency and its coward ice. Having withdrawn from the Senate nil pending treaties effected by republican administration for the removal of foieigu burdens and restrictions upon our com merce, and for its extension into better markets, it has neither eflected nor pro posed any others in their stead. Profess ing adherence to tho Monroe doctrine, it has seen with idle complacency the exten sion of foreign influence in Central America, aud of foreign trade everywhere among our neighbors. It has refused to charter, sanction or encourage any Amer ican organization for coustructiug the Nicaragua canal, a woik ol vital import ance to the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine, and of our national influence in Central and South America, and ueces mry for tho development ol trade with our Pacific territory, with South America aud w ilh the inlands and further coasts of the Pacific Ocean. We arraign the present democratic ad. ministration for its weak and unpatriotic treatment of the fisheries question, and its pusillanimous surrender of the essen tial privileges to which our fishing vessels are entitled in Canadian ports under the treaty of 1S1S, tho reciprocal maritime legislation of I830, and the comity of nations, and which Canadian fishing ves sels receive in the ports of tho United States. We condemn the policy of the picsent administration and the democratic majority in Congress toward our fisheries as uiilriendty and conspicuously unpatri otic, aud as tending to destroy a valuable national industry, and an indispensable resource of defense, against a foreign enemy. The name of America applies alike to all citizens of the republic, and imposes upon all alike the tame obligations of obedience to the laws. At the samo time that citizenship Is and must be the pan oply aud safeguard ot him who wears it, aud protect him, whether high or low, rich or poor, in his civil rights. It should and must afford him protection at home, and follow and protect him abroad in whatever land he may be on a lawful errand. The men who abandoned the republican party in 1SS4, and continue to adhere to the democratic parly, have deserted not only the cause of honest government, of sound finances, 01 lieedom and purity of the ballot, but especially he deserted the cause of reform in the civil service. We will not fall to Veep our pledces be cause they have broken their', or because their candidate has broken hit. We, therefore, repeat oar declaration of I SS4, to-wit; "ineietormoi the civil service, aurpteioutly begun under the republican administration' should be comnletcd br the further extension of the reform svtteat already established by law, to ill the grades of the service to which it is 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 the end that the danger to free institutions which lurks in the power of official patronage may be wisely and 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 tho pledges made by a loyal people, and be so enlarged and ex tended as to provide against the possibility that any man who honorably wore tho federal uniform shall become the inmate of an almshouse, or dependent upon private charity. In the presence of an overflowing treasury it would be a public, scandal 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 houso of representatives iu 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 vote; The first ccn cern ot all good government is the virtue and sobriety of the people and the putity of the home. The republican party cordially sympathizes with all wise and well directed efforts for the promotion of temperance and morality. BOOTS AND SIIOK5 WM. BROWN 4 CO.
