The Republicans ol the United States, assembled by their delegate in National convention, pause ou the theshold of their proceedings to nonor me memory oi wicir first great leader, the immortal champion of liberty and the rights of the people Abraham Lincoln; and to cover also with wreath of imperishable remembrance and gratitude the heroic names of later leaders, who have more recently been called away from our councils Grant, Garheld, Arthur, Logan and Conkliug. May their memories bo laithlully cher ished. We also recall with our greetings and with prayer for his recovery tho 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 Sheridan. In the spirit of those great leaders, and of our own devotion to human liberty, and with that hostility to all forms ol despot ism and oppression which is the 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 the two American continents. Vo earnestly hope that we may soon congratulate our fellow citizens of Irish birth upon the peaceful recovery of home rule for Ireland. We atfiim 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, white or black, to cast one free ballot ir. public elections, and to have that ballot duly counted. We hold tho freo 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 sccurn the integrity and purity of elections, which arc tho fountains of alt public authority. We charge that the present administration and tho Democratic majority tn Congress owe their existence to tho suppression of the ballot Iiy a criminal nullification of the Constitution and laws of the United States. Wo are uncompromisingly in favor of thr American system of protection. We protest against its destruction proposed by tho proaulent and his party. They serve the intciests of Europe; wo will support tho interests of America. We ac enpt tho issues and confidently appeal to the people for their judgment. The pro tective system must be maiuta: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 thu general business, the labor and the farming interests of the country, and we heartily endorse tho consistent and patriotic actions of the Republican Rep resentatives in Congress in opposing its passage..

T.tUu-w up done and vrarninud. the proposition of the Democratic party to place wool on the free list, and we insist th.it the duties thereon shall bu adjusted and maintained so as tn furnish full and adequate protection to that industry. The ltepiblican party would effect a'l needed reduction of the Notional revenue by repealing tho taxes on tobacco, which are an annoyancoaud burden to agriculture, and the tax upon spirits used in the arts and for mechanical purposes; and by such revision of the tariff as will tend to check imports of such articles as are produced by our people, the produotiou of which givos employment to our labor, and release Irom import duties those articles of foreign pro. dilution (except luxuries) tho like of which can not no produced at home. If there shall still remain a larger revenue that m requisite for the wants ot tho government we favor the entire repeal of internal taxes rather than the surrender or any part of our protective system at the. joint behest of the whisky trusts ami Jha agents of foreign manufacturers. YC ucciaru our noauiny iu inc imrouuo. tion into this country of forcigu contract Ubor. and of Chinese labor, alien to our civilization and our Constitution, and we w ... ... . .... demand i lie rigid ntorcemenl ot tnc ex isting laws against it, and favor such im mediate legislation us will exclude such Ubor from out shores. We declartiour opposition to all combin ations of capital organized in trustsot ot'-cr wise, to oonlrol arbitrarily the condition of trade among our citizens, and we com mend lo Congress and to the State Legis atures, in their respective jurisdictions, suoli legislation as will prevent the execu tion of all schemes to oppress the people by umluecharges on their supplies, or by un just rates for the transpoitation of their products to market. We approve the leg. islation by Congress to prevent alike un just burdens and unfair ducriminations be tween the States. We reaffirm the policy of appropriating the public, lands of the United States to be homesteads for American citizens and set tlers, not aliens, which the Republican party established in 1 86a, against the liersistent opposition of the Democrats in Congress, and which has brought our great Western domain into such magnificent development. The restoration of unearn ed laud grants to the public domain for the uso of actual settlers, which was beguu under the administration of l'residebt Ar thur, should be continued, We deny that the democratic party has ever restored one acre to the people, but declare that by the joint action of republicans aud democrats, about fifty millious ol acres of unearned lands originally giauted for the construc tion of railroads have been restored to the public domain, in pursuance of the coudi turns inserted by the republican party in the original grants. We charge the dem ocratic admtnistiation with failure to exe cute the laws securing to settlers titles to their homesteads, ami with using appro tistlons made for that purpose lo harass innocent settler with spies and prosecu tions uuder false pretence of exposing frauds and vindicating the law. The government by Congress ot the Territories is based upon necessity only, to the end that they may become SUUs in the Uuiou ; therefore, whenever the con. ditions of population, material resources, public intelligence and morally are such as to seoure a liable leoal government therein, the people of such Territories should be permuted, m a rt(ht Inherent ir them, to form for themselves a constitution and State government, and be admitted into the Union. Fending the prepara tion for Statehood, all officers thereof shonld be selected from the bona fide residents and citizens ot the Territory wherein they are to serve. South Dakota should of right be immediately admitted as a Stato 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 bills, s a willful violation of the sacred American principle of local self-government, and 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 tie 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 ot them as are now quali fied, as soon as possible, and the others as soon as they may become so. The political power of the 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 tho 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 ecclesias tical power, and thus itamp 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 demand the reduction of tetter postage to I cent per ounce. In a republic 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 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, sullicictit 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 the rehabilitation of our American merchant marine, and we protest against the 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 in our ship yards. We demand appropriations for the early .eliuilding of our navy; for the construction of coast fortifications aucl modern ordnance, and other apptoved modern means of defense for the piotec tion 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 coastwise, and foreign commerce; for the uneouragement of the shipping interests of the Atlantic, Gulf aud Pacific States, as well as for the payment of the maturing f uoiic ocui. i ins policy wi:i give em ployment to our labor, activity to our va rious industries, increase the security of our country, promote trado, open new aud direct markets for our produce, and cheapen the cost of transportation. We atlirin this In be tar better for our country than the democratic policy of loaning tho government money without interest to "pet banks." The conduct of foreign affaire by the present administration has been distin guished by its inefficiency and us 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 merco 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 exton sinti of foreign influence in Central America, and of foreign trade everywhere among our neighbors. It has refused to I charter, sanction or encourage any Amor- iuhu uikuuiiuuuu iu uuusiruciinr me 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 the islands and further coasts of the Pacific Ocean. We arraign the present democratic ad. ministration for its weak and unpatriotic treatment of tho 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, the reciprocal maritime legislation of 18 to, and the comity of nations, and which Canadian fishing ves sels receive in the ports of the United States. We condemn the policy of the ptescnt administration and the democratic majority in Congress Inward our fisheries as unfriendly aud conspicuously unpatri otic, and as tending to destroy a valuable national industry, and an indispensable resource ol defense against a foreign enemy. Ihe name of America applies alike to all citizeus of the republic, and Imposes upon all alike the same obligations of obedience to the laws. At the same time that citizenship is and must be the pani oply and safeguard of him who wears it, and protect him, whether high or low, rich or poor, in his civil rights. It should aud must afford him protection at home, and follow and protect him abroad in whatever land he may be on lawful errand. The men who abandoned the republican party In 1SS4, and continue to adhere lo the democratic party, have deserted not only Ihe cause of, honest government, of sound nnanccs, 01 iredora and purity of the ballot, but especially have deserted the causa of ref 01 m in the civil service. We will not fail to keep our pledges be cause they have broken theirs', or because their candidate has broken hit. We, therefore, repeat our declaration of 1SS4, to-witj "The reform of the civil service, auspiciously begun under the republican administration' should be completed by the further externum of the reform system already established by law, to all the grades of the service to which it is applic able. The spirit and purpose of the re form should be observed in ail 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 wnelv and effectively avoided." The gratitude of the nation to the de fenders of the union can not be measured bv laws. The legislation of Congress should conform tn 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 tho federal uniform shall become the inmate of an almshouse, or dependent upon private charity. Iu the presence of an overflowing treasury it would be a publio scandal to do less for those whose valor ous service preserved the government. We denounce the hostile spirit shown by President Cle eland in his numerous vetoes of measures for peu-iou 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 ol 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 the home. The republican party cordially sympathizes with all wise and well directed efforts for the promotion 01 temperance and morality. BOOTS AND SHOES. WM.
