Oregon lci'lomncnt w., i .Moiitgoniery M.; Hau PnuiL'Uw, CalJ The Republicans ot the United Slates, Msembled 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; anil to cover also with wreaths of imperishable remembrance and gratitude tho heroic names of later leader), who have moie recently been called away from our councils Grant, Garfield, Arthur, Logan and Conkling. May tholr memories be faithfully cher- shed. We also recall with our greetings and with prayer for his recovery the name ol one of our living heroes whoso memory will be treasured in the history both of North. Republicans and of the Republic the name of that noble soldier and favorite son of victory, Philip H Sheiidan. In the soirit of those gre.it 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 Americans of Drazil upon their great act of emancipation, which completed the abolition of slavery throughout the two American continents. We earnestly hope that we may soon congratulate Our fellow citizens of Irish birth upon the peaceful recovery of home rule for Ireland. We allirm our unswerving devotion to the Natfonal Constitution and to the in. dissoluble Union ef the states : to the au tonomy reserved the slates under the Con stitution : to the personat rights and liber ties of citizens in all the Stales and Terri tories In the Union, and especially to tho supreme and sovereign right of Ar. I B:l.Tp. m. every lawlul citizen, rich or poor, Li- llySjPi-"1, nativo or foreign born, white or black, to (nAii.Y cast one free ballot 11. public elections, and to have that ballot duly counted. We hold the free and honest popular ballot, and the just and equal representation of all the people, to be the lounuaiton ot our republican gdvernment, and demand ef fective legislation to securx the Integrity and purity cf elections, vw.icli are the fountains of all public authority. We charge that the present administration and the Democratic majority in Congress owe their existence to the suppression ol the ballot by a criminal nullification of the Constitution and laws of the. United States. Wo are uncompromisingly in favor ol the American system of protection. We protest against its destruction propnsud by tho president and his party. They serve the inteiests of Kuiope; we will support tho interests of America. We ac cept tho issues and confidently appeal in the people for their judgment. The pr. tectivo system must be maintained. Its abandonment has always been followed by general disaster to all interests, except those of the usurer and tho sheriff". We denounce the Mills bill an destructive to Iho genoral business, the labur aiul the farming interests of tin. country, and ue heartily endorso the consistent nnd patriotic actions of the Republican Rep resentatives 111 Congress in opposing ii passage. We condemn the proposition of the Democratic party to pli'ce 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 neoded reduction of the National levenue by repealing the taxes on tobacco, whieli are an annoyance and burdc 11 to agriculture, and the tax upon apirus ucd in the arU nnd for mechanical purposes; and by such revision of tho tariff .is will lend to check imports of such articles as are produced b) our people, the production of which gives, employment to our lih-ir, nnd release from import duties those articles of toreign pro- duotiou (except luxuries) the like of which can not bo produced at home. If tbeie shall still remain a largei levei.ue that id requisite for the wants ot tho government we favor the entire repeal of intorinl taxes rather than the snrr.nder of nny part of our protective tem at tho joint behest of the vvlinky trusts nnd the agents of foreign manufacturers. We declare our hostiln to the introduc tion into tins country of foreign contract labor, and of Chinese labor, alien to our civilization aud our Constitution, nnd we demand the rigid enforcement of tiie ex isting laws against it, nnd favor such im mediate legislation us will exclude suih labor from our shines. We declaro our opposition to nil combin ations of capital organized in tiusiaorutNi wise, to control aibitranly the condiiiuii of trade among our citizen, ami wu com mend to Congress ami to iho Stntc Lcyi- attires, 111 their repictie jiiridiotntis such legislation as will prevent the execu tion of all schemes toopnicM the pe m- m undue charges on their snppl -, or 1 ) un-1 just rates for the irfiipoitanon f thiir products to market. V npinnve lu tg illation by Congress in uiovcni alike 110 t burdeiiaand uiifaii i!Wiriiitiii.v "i- KIIOM YAQUI.VA. tween the State. We reaffirm the policy of appropriating the public lands of the United States to be homesteadb for American citizens nnd set tlers, not aliens, which the Rrpublicin pariy established in 1862, against the persistent opposition of the Democrats m Congress, and which has brought our great Western domain into such magnificent development. The restoration of unearn ed land grants to the public dnmam for the use of actual settlers, which was begun under the administration of President Ar thur, should be continued. We deny that the democratic party has ever restorr-d one aero to the people, but declare that by the joint action of republicans and democrats, about fifty millions Of acres or unearned lands originally granted for the construe tion of railroads have been restored to the public domain, in pursuance of tho conHi ttons inserted by the republican parly in the original grants. Wo charge the dem ocratic ndministiation with failure to exe cute the laws securing to settlers titles to their homesteads, and 'with using appro nations made for that purpose to harass innocent settlers with spies and prosecu tions under false pretence of exposing frauds and vindicating the law. The government by Congress of the Territories is based upon necessity only, to (lie end that they may become States in the Union; therefore .whenever the con ditions of population, material resources, public intelligence and morally are such as to secure a stable lecal government therein, the people of such Territories should be permitted, as a rir,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 'hereof should be selected from the bona fide residents and citizens ot the Territory wherein they are toserve. bouth Dakota should of right be immediately admitted as a Statu in the Union, under the con stitution framed and adopted by the people, and we heartily indorse 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 tbete hills, 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 tho people of Washington, North Dakota and Montana Territories to form constitutions should be'pascd without unnecessary delay. The rpulilie-in part) pledges itself to do all lit its power to fa cilitate the admission of the territories of New Mexico, Wvomiug, Idaho and An zona to the tnjoymeut of self government as states, such of them as ?ie now quali- lied, as booh as possible, and the others as soon as they may become so. Tho political power of the Mormon church in the territories, as exicrieticed tn tho past, is a menace to free institutions too dangerous to be long suffered. Tlieie fore we pledge the republican party to ap propriate legislation averting the mvei eighty of the na'ion in all lerntnnes where the same is questioned, ainl 111 furtherance of that end to place upon the statute books legislation stringent enough to divorce the political from tho ecclesias tical power, and thus stamp out the attendant wickedness of il)gauiy. Tho republican parly is in favr of the use of both gold and silver ni money, and couduinus tiie policy of the democratic administration in its -lTrts tu demonetize Silver. We demand the reduction of letter postage to I cent per ounce.

This policy will give em olovinent to our labor, activity to our va rious industries, iUcrease the security of our country, promote trade, open new and direct markets for our produce, and cheapen the cost of transportation. We affirm this to be far better for bur 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 lnelHciericy 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 eflected nOr pro posed auy others in their stead. Profess ing adherence to the Muuroo doctrine, it has seen with idle complacency the exten sion of fnieign ilitlueuce in Central America, aud of foreign trade everywhere ainoug our neighbors, it has refused to charter, sanction or encourago ally Amer ican organization for constructing the Nicaragua canal, a work ot vital, import ance to the maintenance of ihe 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. 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 111 Canadian ports under the treaty of 181S, the reciprocal maritime legislation of I830, and the comity of nations, and which Canadian fishing ves sels receive in ihe ports of tho United States. We condemn the policy of Ihe piesent administration and the democratic majority iu Congress trltvard 'our fisheries as unfriendly and conspicuously unpatri otic, and as tending to destfoy'a valuable national industry, and an indispensable resource of del-use 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 same time that citizenship is and must be tile1 pan oply and safeguard of him who wears it, and protect bun, whether high or low, rich or poar, in his civil rights, It should ano inu-it afford liim protection at home, and follow and pio ect him abroad in whatever land lie may be on a lawful errand. Ihe men who n-vi'dmied the republican paityin 1SS4. ami continue to adhere to the democratic party, have deserted not only the cuue of honest government, of ound finances, of lie doin and purity of, the ballot, but espi-cially have deserted the caiimi if n bum in the civil service. We will lint tail to keep our pledges be-c.iu-.e they have luokeii theirs', or because (heir candidate has broken his. We, theiefore, repeat our declaration of 1884, to wri; ''The reform of the civil service, auspiciously begun under the republican administration' should be completed by the further exten-1011 of the reform system already established by law, to all the grades of the service to which it is applic able, Tiie spiiu and purpose of the re form should la observed in all executive appointment, a.nj nil laws at variance wiili the obp'Ct of existing reform legisla tion should be repealed, to the end that ihe danger to fret institutions which lurks in the power of mcial patronage may be widely and effectively avoided." The gratitude of the nation to the de fenders of the union cau not be measured by laws. Ihe 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 oossibility that any man who honorably wore ihe federal uniform shall become the inmate of an almshouse, or dependent upon private chanty. Iu the presence of an overfl iwiiig ireaturv it would be a publto scandal to do less for those whose valor oils service preserved the government. We denounce the hostile spirit shown by IVsidem Cleveland in his numerous vetoes of measures for pension relief, and the action of the democratic house of it proentative-, in refusing even a consid er ni ion ol general pension legislation. Iu support of the principles herewith enunciiied we invite the co-operation of patrio'ic mtn if all patties, and especially nl all workingmen whose prosperity is seriously thicattned by the free trade .o icy of the present administration.
