Adopted at Cincinnati, Juue 15th, 1S7(.
When in the economy of Providence, his
land was to be purged of human slavery, aud
whciilhestreiigt.il of the government oi the
people, by the people, for the people, was to be
demonstrated, tiie Republican party came into
power. Its deeds have passed into History, and
we look back to them with pride. Incited by
their luemoi les and high amis for the good oi
our country and mankind, and looking to the
future with unfaltering courage, hope and pur
jmsc, we, the representatives of ihe the party,
in national convention assembled, make the
following declaration of principles :
1. The United States of America is a nation,
not a league. By the combined woikiugsof the
National and State Governments, under their
respective constitutions, the rights of every cit
zen are secured at home and protected abroad,
and the common welfare promoted.
2. The Republican pai tv has preserved those
governments to the hundredth anniversary of
the natiou'j birth, snd lliey are now the em
bodiments of the great truths spoken at its cra
dle : That all men were created eo.ua! : that
they were endowed by their Creator Willi cer
tain inal'cnable rights, amoi.g which are lite,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness : that for
the attainment ut these ends governments have
been instituted anitjiig men, deriving their Just
powers from the consent ol the governed. In
til those truths are cheerfully obeyed or, if
needed -to be, vigorously enforced, the work
of the Republican pally is uniiiiished.
3. The permanent pacification of the South
ern section of the Union, and the complete pro
tection of its citizens in the enjoyment of all
their rights, are duties to which life Republican
party stands sacredly pledged. The power to
provide lor the enforcement of principles em
bodied in the lcccnt constitutional amendments
is vested liy those amendments in the Congress
of the United Mates aud we deelare it to be the
solemn obligation of the legislative and execu
tive departments of the Government to put into
liuinetuale and vigorous exercise all their con
stitutional ovvers for remov mg any just causes
of discontent on the pari of any cI.l-s. and se
curing to every American cittcu complete lib
erty and exact equality in the exercise oi all
civil, political and puniic riuhts. To this end
we imperatively demand a I ongress and a chief
Execulin'e whose courage and hdclilv to these
duties shall not falter until these results are
plact d beyond dispute or recall.
4. In tlie Mist act of Congress signed by Pres
ident Grant, the National ;ov ern'ment assum
ed to remove any doubts of its duty to dis
charge all just obligations to public creditors,
and solemnly pledged ilstaith to make provis
ion, at the earliest practicable period lor the
redemption of United States notes in coin.
Commercial prosperity, public morals and na
tional credit demand in. a tins promise tie tul
tiltedbya continuous aud steady progress to
specie payments.
5. t ndt-r the constitution, the l resident and
heads of departments arc m make uoiuinalions
for otlice". the Senate is to advise and to consent
lo appointments, aim the House oi iiepresen;a
tives is to accuse and prosecute faithless olli-
cers. l lie best interests ol tlie public service
demand that these distinctions be respected ;
that .Senators anil Representative who mav be
judges aud accusers should not dictate appoint
ments to oltice. Ihe invariable rule ltr Bp
point incuts should have relcrein-c to the hon
esty, fidelity and capacity ol the appointee, giv
ing to the party in power those places where
harmony and vigor of aduiiiiistration requires
its iiwticv to be renresented. but nerinittiug ail
others lo be filled by persons selected witn sole
reierence to l lie efficiency ol the puniic service
and the right of all citizens toshaic in the honor
of rendering faithful service to their country.
6. We rejoice in the quickened conscience ol
the people concerning political atl.tirs. and v. ill
hold ail public oilicers to a rigid responsibility,
aud engage that the prosecution and punish
ment ol all who betray olhcial trust Minil be
.speedy, thorough and unsparing.
,. The public school system of t nc several States
is the bulwark of the American Rcpublic.and
with a view to its security and pcrtnaiiuncv. we
recommend an amendment to tiie constitution
of tin- United States foi bidding the application
of any public fund or prooperty tor the benefit
of any school or institutions under sectarian
control.
x. The revenue necessary for current expen
ditures ami the obligations of the public dent
must he largely derived from duties on impor
tations which, so fas as possible, should he ad
Jasted to promote the interests of American la
bor and advance the prosperity of the whole
country.
0. Vie reaffirm our opposition to further
grants of the public land to corporations and
monopolies, and doinand that tiie national do
main be devoted to free homes lor the people.
in. It is ihe imperative duty of the Govern
ment so to modify existing treaties wilh Europ
ean governments that the same protection shall
be alTorded to the adopted amcrican eili.eii
that is giveivto the native born, and that all
necessary law s should be passed to protect I'lil
iginntsin the absence of power in the States
lor that purjMise.
11. it is the immediate duty of Congress to
fully investigate the effect of immigration and
imMirtatioii of Mongolians iijk.ii tlie moral and
material interests of the country.
12. The Republican party recognizes with ap
proval the substantial advance recently made
toward the establishment of equal rights for
women by the many important amendments ef
fected by the Republican legislation hi the laws
which concern the personal and propel ty rela
tions of wives, niotners and widows, aud'by the
appointment aud election of women to the su
perintendence of education, charities and other
public trusts. The honest demands of this
class of citizens for additional l ights and privi
leges and immunities should be treated with re
spectful considcral ion.
1. 'J. The Constitution confers upon Congress
sovereign power over the Territorrjes I the
United States for their government, and i tlie
exercise of this power it Is the right and duty
of Congress to prohibit and exterpate in the
Territories that relic or barbai isin, polygamy,
anil w e demand such legislation as shall pro
cure this end and the supremacy of American
institutions in all the Territories'.
14. The pledges vv hicli the n.-it .ri has given
to our soldiers and sailors must ! fulfilled.
The grateful people will always h .1 1 those who
periled the. r lives for llieir couniiy's piesei va
tion in the kindest remembrance.
l.". We sincerely depreciate all sectional feel
ings and tendencies. We theretoie note vvitu
deep solicitude that the Democratic pari v.
counts as its chief hoe of success upon tlie
clectorial vote of the united South, secured
through the efforts of those who were recently
arrayed against the nation, and invoke the
earnest attention of the country to the grave
trill 11 that a success thus acheived would re-I
open sectional strife and imperil national honor i
and human rights.
lri. We charge the Democratic partv as being
the same ill character and spirit as" when it.
sympathized with treason; with making its:
making its control of the House of Represent;)- I
fives the triumph and the opportunity of the1
nation's recent foes : with reasserting and ap
plauding in the national capital tlie sentiments
of unrcpciit'd rebellion ; sending Union soldiers
to the rear and promoting Coulederaie soldiers
to the front ; with tieilberately proposing to re
pudiate the plighted fuilli of the Government ;
with being equally false au l imhecile upon the
overshadowing ends of justice bv its partisan
management and obstruction of 'investigations
with proving itself through the period of its as
cendancy in the lower house of Congress, utter
ly incompetent to administer the govermeiit.
We warn the county against trusting a party
thus alike unworthy, recreant and incapable.
17. The National Administration merits
commendation for its honorable w(!lk in the:
management of domestic and foreign atlairs, '
and ITes'ideut Grant deserves the continued
and heartv gratitude of the American people
for his patriotism and his immense services in
w ar j-nd peace

TWAIN ON THE SITUATION.
Wo are forced to believe that the
Omaha Herald's expose of the patriotic
Perky, of Saunders, in his railroad tn
terpiises has more of truth than poetry
in it. It charges in short that Perky
offered to sell his "influence" to get
some bonds voted for the construction
of a narrow guage road as a branch uf
the l P. R. R. through Saunders and
Hutler Cos. for $10,000, and said it need
not cost the L P. men anything to pay
his leu they could add it to tho
amount of the bonds they should ask
thece-unty for building the road. The
company thereupon turned its back
upon Perky and he went home and
told his constituents that the U. I.
had offered him $10,000, but like a pa
triot he refused to sell. If Perky told
his constituents that, there is hardly
any doubt of the truth of the accusa
tions. Patriots like Perky never re
fuse an offer of that kind. The Oma
ha lite, which is a partner of Perky in
the railroad business, is almost as in
dignant over the matter as Perky him
self. The people of Saunders, if they
are wise, will hereafter conduct their
negotiations for railroads without the
agency of patriots of tlie Perky school.
The Herald rather ungenerously adds
that Perky is the individual who, as a
legislative reformer, made so much
noise in the State Senate during the
last legislative session. He is the iden
tical Perky that "tarn Chapman cruci
fied for stealing a papvr from thw desk
of an investigating committee. The
liee is expected to tome immediately
to the rescue of Perky. State Journal.

The nearest and best friends of Hen

has thrown sop to both "hards," and
"softs." leaning a little to the latter be
cause they were in the majority in his
State. He never pronounced a positive
opinion on anything in his life. Like
tli old apple woman, who, when asked
whether her fruit was sweet or sour,
replied that it was a kind of a low tart,
inclined to be sweet." Hendricks is
sweeter sour as the occasion demands.

Elmira CorrcpaiuUnct nf the X. T. llerahi.
After a rather dusty ride of five miles
up hill from Elmira the Herald repre
sentative met Samuel L. Clemens (Mark
Twain), temporarily residing at Quar
ry Hill farm, the property of one of the
Langdon family, into which Markhai-
pilv married. He took me to las stu
dio, an octagonal structure, still further
up hill, and commanding a romantic
view of Elmira for miles surrounding.
Mark was attired in a summer dress
of snowy white, not dissimilar to that
worn by Abraham Lincoln when the
same correspondent interviewed the
great lamented at his house in Spring-
held, 111., in the memorable campaign
of 1SG0, when Lincoln was first elected
President of the United States
Herald correspondent Well, Mark,
now that we are in your cosy and bree
zy studio, suppose 1 interview you in
regard to your opinions respecting the
present political situation?
Mark Twain Politics are rather out
of my line, yet not outside of my inter
est. I am uot much of a party man,
but I have my opinions. I should nev
er have pushed them before, the public.
but if you want to catechise me L will
answer, but 1 want eiusy questions
questions which a plain answer will
meet.
You shall have them. First, which
platform do you prefer?"
"That is easily answered. Platforms
are ot sucn a secondary importance
that 1 have not thought it necessary to
build up a preference. Jn most essen
tials the creeds of both parties are good
enough for me. Rut there is something
back of the written creeds which is im
portant. For instance, nidation and
repudiation may be glossed over in a
creed, but there are a good many erring
people who want these things and would
vote for them.
What do you think is more import
ant than platforms?"
I think the men are. There used to
be a party cry, 'measures not men.
That was in an honester day. We need
to reverse that now. hen you get
lelow the political scum or above it,
perhaps one ought to say, you will
hnd that the solid men in both parties
are equally good and equally well mean
ing. Roth will furnish platforms which
the country can survive and progress
under. Rut of what use are these ex
cellent platforms if the men elected up
on them shamelessly ignore them and
make them a dead letter? A sound
md good democratic platform was
powerless to save New York from the
ravages of the Tweed gang; an excel
lent republican platform has no more
been able to save the country from the
ravages of the present administration's
highwaymen than the pasting of the
four gospels on a bad man's back would
be to save him from the tropical end of
eternity. Platforms are not the essen
tial things now men are."

ayment of the national debt. If you
an understand what Mr. T llden means
it is onlv because you have got more
brains than I have, but you don't look
like it. Mr. 1 llden is a very able man ;
therefore I hold that be could have
made himself understood. Why didn't
he? Because one-half of his party be
lieve in one thing and the other half in
another. I suppose, and it was neces
sary to be a little vague. But Mr. Hen
drick is not vague. He is in no hurry
to have the national debt paid."
"Is there a democrat whom you
would have preferred to Hayes?"
"Yes; Charles Francis Adams a
true man, a proved statemen. I would
vote for him in a minute. I wouldn't
need to know what his platform was;
the fact that he stood upon it would
be sufficient proof to me that it was a
righteous one. I want to see an honest
government established one more. I
mean to vote for Hayes because I be
lieve, from his own manner of talking
and from all I can hear of bis charac
ter and history, that he will appoint
none but honest and capable men to
office. I don't, care two cents what
party they belong to. I never tried to
get an office for but one man, and I
forgot- to ask him what his politics
were, but he was a clean man and
mighty capable. Mr. Tilden is an old
politician, dyed in the wool. History
has tried hard to teach us that we
can't have good government under politic-inns.
Now, to go and stick one at
the very head of the government
couldn't be wise. You know that."
"People speak well of both candi
dates, don't they?"
"I will tell you how it looks to roe.
I read a lot of newspapers of both
creeds every day. The republicans tell
me a great many things which Hayes
has done; tho demoeartie papers ex
plain why Tilden didn't do a great
many things. They keep oa apologiz
ing and apologizing all the time. I
think that the woman or the candi
date that has to be apologized for is a
suspicious person. So do you. Now,
let me urge you as an old friend to vote
for Hayes a man you don.t have to
apologize for."
"Well, what do you think "
No, excuse me. You can't get any
political elaborations out of me. I
simply want to see the right man at
the helm. I don't care what his party
creed is. I want a man who isn't
near-sighted. I want a man who will
not go on seeing angels from heaven in
such buzzards as Delano, Belknap,
Babcock. and the rest of that lot, long
after 40,000,000 ordinary people have
detected and come to loathe them. I
want to see a man in the chief chair
who can not only tell a buzzard when
he sees it, but will promptly wring its
ntck. I feel satisfied that Mr Hayes
is such a man; I am not satisfied that
Mr. Tilden is. There, now, let us take
asmoke. My opinions are important
only to me. If they were important to
others we would spread them all over
the Herald. Here is your pipe. Now
