Cblao, 111. Tho Republicans ot the United States, assembled by Iheir delegates in National convention, pause ou 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 imjierishable remembrance and gratitude the heroic names of later leaders, who have more recently been called away from our councils Grant, Oartield, Arthur, Logap and Conklmg. May their memories bo 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 bo treasured in the history both ol Republicans and of the Republic the name of that noble soldier and favorite son of victory, Philip II Shetidan. In the spirit of those groat leaders, and of our own devotion to human liberty, and with that hostility to all forms ol despot, ism and oppression which is Ihe funda mental idea of the Republican party, we send fraternal congratulations to our fel low Americans of Brazil upon their great act ol emancipation, which completed the abolition of slavery throughout Ihe two American continents. Ve earnestly hope that we may soon congratulate our fellow citizens of Irish birth upon the peaceful recovery of homo rule for Ireland. We allirm our unswerving devotion to the National Constitution and to the in dissoluble Union of the states : to the au tonomy reserved the states under tho 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 lawful citizen, rich or poor, nativo or foreign born, white or black, to cast one Tree ballot u. public elections, and to have that ballot duly counted. We hold tho free and honest popular ballot, and the just and equal representation of all the people, to be the foundation of our republican government, and demand ef fective legislation to secum the integrity and purity of elections, which are the fountains of all public authority, Wc charge that the present administration and tho Democratic majority in Congress owe their existence to tho suppression of 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 destruction proposed by the president and his party. They servo the iuteicsts of Euinpe; wo will Bipport tho interests of America. We ac cept tho issues and confidently appeal to the people for their judgment. The pro tective system must be maintained, Its abandonment has always been followed by general disaster to nil interests, excopt those of thu usurer and tho sheriff. Wo denounce the Mills bill an destructive to the general business, tho labor and the fanning interests of tho country, and we heartily eudorso thu consistent and patriotic actions of the Republican Rep resentatives in Congress in opposing its passage. Wo condemn the proposition of the Democratio party to place wool on the free list, and we insist that the duties thereon shall be adjusted and maintained so as to furnish full and 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 mul burden to agriculture, and the tax upon Bpirits used in the arts mid for mechanical purposes; and by such levislon of tho tariff us will tend to check im ports of such articles as are produced by our people, tho production of which gives employment to our labor, and release Iroin import duties those articles of foreign pro duction (except luxuries) tho like of which can not bo produced at home. If there shall still lomaiu a larger revenue that is requisite for ihe wants ot tho government we favor tho entire ropeal of internal taxes lather than the surrender of any part of our protectivo system at thu joint behest of the whisky trusts and tho agents of foreign manufacturers. Wc 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 us will exclude such labor from our shoies. We declaru our opposition to all combin ations of capital organized in trusts or other wise, to control arbitrarily the condition of ttude anioui! our citizens, and we coin- mond to Congress aud to tho State Legis attires, in their respective jurisdictions, suoh legislation as will prevent the execu tion of all schemes to oppress the people by undue charges on their supplies, or by un just rates for the transpoilalion of thilr products to market. We approve the leg. islatlou by Congress In prevent alike un just burdens and unfair discriminations be tween the States. We icaflirm Ihe policy of appropriating the publio lands of the United Status to bo homestead for American cltizeus and set tlers, not alieus, which tho Republican party established in 1S62, against the ixniltlent opposition of the Democrats in ('ingress, ami which has brought our great Western domain into such magnificent development. The restoration of unearn ed land grauts to the public domain for the use of actual settlers, which was begun under the administration of l'rooideut Ar thur, should le continued, We deny that the democratic party has ever restored one acre to the people, but declare that by tho joint action ol republicans aim democrats, about fifty millions ol acres of unearned lands originally granted for the construc tion of railroads have been restored to the public domain, in pursuance of thocoudi. lions inserted by the republican party in the original guuts. We charge the dem ocratic adnilmstiation with failure to exe cute (he laws scouring tu settlers titles to their homesteads, and with using: appro liatious made for that purpose lo harass innocent settlers with spies and proseou tious under false prettuce of exposing frauds aud vindicating Ihe law. The government by Cougress of the Territories is based upon necessity only, to the end that they may become Status in the Uukhi! therefore, whenever the con ditions ol population, niaUrlal resource, public intelligence aud morally are suoh as to icouro a stable local goverumeut therein, tho people of such Territories should bo permitted, as a nr.ht inherent ir them, to form for themselves a constitution and State government, and be admitted into the Union. Pending the' prepara tion for Statehood, all officers thereof should be selected from the bona fide residents and citizen ot the 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 Senate in twice passing bills for her admission. The relusal of the Democratic House of Representatives, for partisan purposes, to favorably consider these bill, s a willful violation of the sacred American principle of local self-government, aud merits the condemnation of all just men. The pending bills in the Senate for acts 10 enable the people of Washington, North Dakota and Montana Territories to form constitutions should be passed without unnecessary delay. The republican party pledges ltsell lo ao all in its power to fa cilitate the admission of the territories of New Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho and Ari zona to tho enjoyment of self-government as states, such of them as ?rp now quali fied, as soon as possible, and the others as soon as they may become so. The political power of tho Mormon church in the territories, as experienced iu the 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, and in furtherance of that eud to place upon the statute books legislation Btringent 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 the policy of the democratic administration in its efforts to demonetize silver. We domand the reduction of letter postage to 1 cent per ounce. In a republic liko ours, where the citizen is the sovereign and tho official the servant, where no power is exercised except by the will of the people, it is important that the sovereign the people should possess intelligence. The free school is the promoter of that intelligence which is tu 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. Wo earnestly recommend that prompt action be taken by Congress in the en actment of such legislation as will be.t secure the rehabilitation of our American merchant marine, and wo protest against tho paBsago by Congress of a free ship bill, aa calculated to work injustice to labor by lesseuing the wages of those engaged in preparing materials, us well as thoee directly employed in our ship yards. We demand appropriations for the early .ehuildiug of our navy; fur the construction of coast fortifications and modern ordnance, and other approved modern means of defense for the protec tion of our defenseless harbors and cities; tor tho payment of just pensions to our soldiers; lor necessary works of National importance in the improvement of harbors and the channels of internal coastwise, and foreign commerce; for the encouragement of tho sliipping interests of the Atlantic, Gulf aud I'acihc 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, lucreuse the security of our country, promote trade, open new and diroct markets for our produce, and cheapen the cost of transportation. We allirm this to be far butter for our country than the democratic policy of loaning tho government money without interest to "pet bankB." The conduct of foreign affairs by tho present administration has been distin guished by its inefficiency and its coward ice. Having withdrawn from the Senate all pending treaties effected by republican administration for the removal of foreign burdens and restrictions upon our com merce and for its extension into better markets, it has neither effected 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 iu Central America, aud of foreign trade everywhere among our neighbors. It has refused to charier, sanction or encourage any Amor lean organization for coustructiug the Nicaragua canal, a work ot vital import ance to the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine, and or our national intlueuce in Central and South America, and neces sary for tho development ol trade with our Pacific territory, with South America and with tho islands and further coasts of the Pacific Ocean. We arraign tho present democratic ad ministration for its weak and unpatriotic treatment of the fisheries question, and its pusillanimous surtender of the essen tial privileges to which our fishing vessels are entitled in Canadian ports under the treaty of 1S1S, the reciprocal maritime legislation of IS30, 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 piesent administration and the democratic majority iu Congress toward our fisheries as uulriendty aud conspicuously unpatri otic, aud as tending to destroy a valuable national industry, aud an indispensable resource of deteuso against a foreign enemy. The name of America applies alike to all citizens of the republic, and imposes upon all alike the same obligations of obedience to the laws. At the samo time that citizenship is and must be the pan oply and safeguard of him who wears it, ami protect him, whether high or low, rich or poor, in his civil sights. It should aud must afford him protection at home, and follow and protect him abroad in whatever land he may be on a lawful eriaud. The men who abandoned the republican party in 1SS4, and continue to adhere to the democratio party, have deserted not only Ihe cause of honest government, of sourw nnances, 01 uexnom and purity ol the ballot, but especially have deserted the cause of reform in the civil service. Wo will nut fail to keep our pledge be cause they have broken theirs', or because their candidate has broken his. We, therefore, repeat our declaration of 1SS4, to-wit; "The reform of the civil service. auspkkHwlr begun uodr-r tho republican administration' should be completed by the further extension of the reform system already established by law, to all the grades of tho 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 obiect of existing reform legisla tion should be repealed, lo tho 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 loval 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 lor those whose valor ous servico preserved the government We denounce the hostile spirit shown by President (..lev eland 111 his numerous vetoes of measures for pension relief, and the action of the democratic house 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 vete: The first con cern ot all good government is the virtue and sobriety of the people and the purity of tho home. The republican party cordially sympathizes with all wise and well directed efforts for the promotion of temperance and morality. HOOTS ASD SIIOKS. WM. BROWN & CO.
