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
first 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,
Gartield, Arthur, Lngau and Conkliug.
May their memories bo faithfully Cher
ished. We also rocall with our greetings and
with prayer for his recovery tho name ol
one of our living heroes whoso 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 thu spirit of those great 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 tho Republican party, we
send fraternal congratulations to our fel
low Americana of Brazil upon their great
act ol emancipation, which completed the
abolition of slavery throughout the two
American continents. Vo earnestly hope
that we may soon congratulate our fellow
citizens of Irish birth upon the peaceful
recovery of homo rulo for Ireland.
We afDim our unswerving devotion to
the National Constitution and to the in
dissoluble Union of the states : to the au
tonomy reserved tho states under the Con
stitution : to the personal rights and liber
ties of citizens in all the States and Terri
tories in the Union, and especially to
tho supreme and sovereign right of
every lawlul citizen, rich or poor,
native or foreign born, whito or black, to
cast one freo ballot in public elections,
and to have that ballot duly counted. We
hold tho freo and honest popular ballot,
and the just and equal representation of
an the people, to lie the loundaiiou ot our
republican government, and demand ef
fective legislation to socuro the integrity
and purity of elections, which are the
fountains of all public authority, Wc
chargu that the present administration
and tho Democratic majority in Congress
owe their existence to the suppression of

the ballot by a criminal nullification of the
Constitution and laws or the United
States.
Wo are uncompromisingly in favor of
the American system of protection. Wo
protost against its destruction proposed
by the president and his party. They
servo the interests of Europe; wo will
support tho interosts of America. We ac
cept tho issues and confidently appeal to
the people for their judgment. The pro
tectivo system must be maitita:ned. Its
abandonment has always been followed
by general disaster to all interests, except
those of tho usurer and tho sheriff. We
denounce the Mills bill as destructive to
tho general business, tho labor and the
farming interests of tho country, and we
heartily enjoreo tho consistent and
patriotic notions of the Republican Rep
resentatives iu Congress in opposiug its
passago.
Wo condemn the proposition of the
Democrats 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 adequnto protection to
that industry.
The Republican party would effect a'l
needed reduction of the National revenue
by repealing tho taxos on tobacco, which
are an annoyance and burden to agriculture,
and the tax upon spirits used in the arts
and for mechanical purposes; and by such
revMon of tho tariff as will tend to check
imports of such articles as are produced by
our people, thu production of which gives
employment to our labor, and release from
import duties those articles of foreign pro
duotiuu (except luxuries) thu like of which
can not ou produced at home. If there
shall still remain a larger revenue that is
requisite for the wants ot tho government
we favor tho entire repeal of internal
taxes rather than the surrender of
any part of our proteclivo system at
thu joint behest of the whisky trusts and
tho agents of foreign manufacturers.
We declare our hostility to the introduc
tion iuto this country of foreign contract
lalior, and of Chinese labor, alien to our
civilization aud 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 shoios.
We declare our opposition to all combin
ations of capital organized in trusts or other
wise, to control arbitrarily the condition
of trade among our citizens, and wo com
mend to Coiigress and to tho State Lcgis
attires, in their respective jurisdictions,
uoh legislation as will prevent the execu
tion of all schemes to oppress the people by
unduecharges on their supplies, or by un
just rates for the transportation of their
products to market. W approve the leg.
islatiou by Congress to prevent alike un
just burdens and unfair incriminations be
tween the States.
Wc reaffirm the policy of appropriating
the public, lands of the United States to bo
homestead for American citizens and set
tlers, not alieus, which the Republican
party established in lS62, against the
jeriliteut opposition of the Democrats in
Congress, and which has brought our great
Western domain into such magnificent
development. The restoration of unearn
ed land grants to the public domain for
thn usa of actual settlers, which was begun
under the administration of 1'resldet.t Ar
thur, should be continued, We deny that
the democratic patty has ever restored one
them, to form for themselves a constitution
and State government, and be admitted
into the Union. Fending the prepara
tion for Statehood, all officers '.hereof
should be selected from the bona tide
residents and citizen 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
relusal of the Democratic Houso of
Representatives, for partisau purposes, to
lavurauiy cuusiuer incee uiu, s a wunui
violation of the aacred American principle
of local self-government, and merits the
condemnation of all just men. The
pending bills in the Senate for acts to
enable tho 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 admissiou 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 booh as possible, and the others as
soon as they may become so.
The political power of tho Mormon
church in tho territories, as experienced in
the past, is a menace to free institutions
too dangerous to be long suffered. There
fore we pledge tho republican party to ap
propriate legislation asserting the sover
eignty of the nation in all territories
where the same is questioned, and in
furtherance of that end to place upon the
statute books legislation stringent enough
to divorce the political from the-ecclesiastical
power, and thui stamp out the
attendant wickedness of polygamy.
Tho 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 I cent per ounce.
In a republio like ours, where the
citizen is the sovereign and the official the
servant, where no power is exercised
except by the will ol the people, it is
important that the sovereign the people
should possess intelligence. The free
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 free institutions
of learning, sufficient to afford to every
child growing up in the land the oppor
tunity of a 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 the 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 well
as those directly employed iu our ship
yarns. ve nemanu appropriations for
the early rebuilding of our navy; for the
construction of coast fortifications and
modern ordnance, and other appioved
modern moans of defense for the protec
tion of our defenseless harbors and
cities; tor the payment of just pensions
to our soldiers; lor necessary works of
National importance in the improvement
of harbors aud the chaunels of internal
coastwise, and foreign commerce; for the
encouragement of tho shipping interests
of the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific 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, lucrease the security of
our country, promote trade, open new
ami direct markets for our produce, and
cheapen the cost of transportation. We
affirm this to be far better for our country
than the democratic policy of loaning the
government money 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
all ponding treaties effected by republican
administration for the removal of foreign
burdeus and restrictions upon our com
merce, and for its extension iuto better
markets, it has neither effected nor pro
posed auy others iu their stead. Profess
ing adherence to tho Monroe doctrine, it
has seen with idle complacency the exten
sion of foreign influence iu Central
America, and of foreign trade everywhere
among our neighbors. It has refused to
charter, sanction or encouraga any Amer
ican organization for constructing the
Nicaragua canal, a work ot vital import
ance to the maintenance of the Monroe
doctrine, and of our national influence in
Central and South America, and neces
sary for the development ol trade with
our Pacific territory, with South America
and with tho islands and further coasts of
the Pacific Ocean.
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 the 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 the
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 tor those whose valor
ous service preserved the government.
We deuounce 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 ol general pension legislation.
In suDDort of the mineinles herewith
enunciated we invite the co-operation of
patriotic men of all parties, and especially
ol all workincmen 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 unanimous vote; 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.

We arraign the present democratic ad

ircaimeui oi tno naileries question, and
its pusillanimous surrender of the essen
tial privileges to which our fishini? vessels
are entitled In Canadian ports under the
treaty ot lata, tho reciprocal maritime
legislation of 1830, and tho comity of

piesent administration and the democratic
majority in Congress toward our fisheries
as unlriendly and conspicuously unpatri-'
otic, and as tending to destroy a valuable
national industry, and an indispensable
resoutoe ol deiense against a foreign

The name of America applies alike to
all citizens of the republic, and imposes
upon all alike the tame obligation of
obedience to the laws. At the tamo time

The men who abandoned the republican

the cause of refoim in the civil service.
