Then Rev. Frank W.

O Lord, touch him tenderly bif Thy hand, comfort him by Thy spirit, and r-store him to the Notion that lores him. ir 1 h all health and with all hope." This refeisieeto General Sheridan was followed by a In -at of applause, which evidently farced npoi the preacher's sense of propriety, as erlde n-sdby the grave expression which stole over Itl i features as the cheering progressed. Then the eall for the convention was 11 ad la a ringing tone by Secretary Fessenden, i nd the references to the tariff; to the protection of American labor; to the accumulation of the anrplus; the demand tor a free, hones iiallet and a fair count, and the question of the admission of the Territories were alllloudly t i.i-ered. especially that relating to the tariff.

But even this was nothing as compared with the demonstration with which both galleries and floor rang when the declaration list the party must not commit the crime of disobedience to his will. Thwevoked cheers wll It were several times repeated, and accompanied by waving of flags and other tokens of ezulieranre. When the different candidates we i-o mimed by the speaker, Sherman and Allison teeetved the weight of the applause, but it win noticed that he retrained from mentioning the ism< of the soldier-judge of Indiana. When be classed the Anarchist with the criminal, there irere expressions of approval, but when.

Mr. McKinley, from the committee on resolutions. reported the plntfortn, which wns unanimously adopted. The Republicans of the Potted States. a» rein bled by their delegates in National convention, pause on the threshold of their proceedings to honor the memory Of {heir #rst greet leader, the In mortal champion of liberty nod of the rights of the people. Abraham Lincolns and to corer also with wreaths of imperishable remembrance and gratitude the heroic names of our later leaders who hare more recently been called away from our councils—Grant, Gsrfield, Arthur, Logan and Conkllng. May the r memories be faithtuIlT cherished. We also recall With greetlngasand with prayer for his recovery, the ttarae of one of our llring heroes, whose name will be Cherished In the history, both of Republicans and of th» Republic, the name of that noble soldier and hfotlls child of rlcfory, Philip H. Sheridan, in the spirit of those great lenders and of our own devot'on to human liberty and pell ical hostility to all forms of despotism, we send fraternal congratulations to our fellow Americans of Brasil upon the accomplishment of the abolition of slavery throutaout the two American continents. We earnestly hop* that we may soon congratulate our f»Uow.cttlsena of Irish birth upon th* peaceful recovery of home rule tor Ireland. V We reaffirm our unswerving derollon to the Nat onal Constltntion and t® the Indissoluble Union of the States; to the autonomy reserved to the Slates under the Constitution; to the personal rights and 1 iberries of cttlsens In all the Slates and Territories in the Union, and especially to the supreme and sovereign right of every lawful etlisen, rich or poor, native or foreign-born, white or black, to cast a free ballot In public elections and to have that ballot duly counted. We hold that a tree and honest popular balloLand the just and equal representation of all the people. Is the foundation of our republican government, and demand exeentire legislation lo secure the integrity and parity of elections, which are the foundations of all public authority. We charge that the present Administration and the Ilemocratle majority In Congress owe their existence to the suppression of the ballot by a criminal nullillcntion of the Constitution and laws of the United States.

We ere uncompromisingly in revor or the American system of protection. We protest agnintt its destruction as proposed by the President sad his party. They serre the Interests of Europe; we will support the interests of America. We accept the issue and confidently appeal to the people tor their Judgment. The proteetlre system must be mainta'ned. Its abandonment has always been followed by general disaster to al i interests except those of the usurer snd the sheriff. We denounce the Mills bill as destructive to the general bust ness, the labor and the farming interests of the country, and we hear .ily indorse the consistent snd patriotic set! on of the Republican representatives In Congress in opposing Its passage. We condemn the proposition of the Democratic party to place wool on the free list end we insist that the duties thereon shall be adjusted and maintained so as to furnish full and adequate protection to that Industry. The Republican pai-ty would e«eet all needed reduction of the National rerenuc by repealing the taxes upon tobacco, which an an annoyance and burden to agric altar*, and the tax spirits used in the arts, and for ileal purpose*; and by such reTiston of the tarit laws as will tend to check Imports of snob articles as an produced by our people, the production of which give emplo/ment to our labor, and release from Import duties those articles of foreign production (except tuxuriesl the like of which can not be produced at home. If there still shall remain a larger revenue than la requisite for the wants of the Government. we furor l he entire repeal of Internal taxes, rather than the surrender of any part or our protective system at the joint behest of the Whisky Trust and the sgentsof foreign manufacturers. We declare our hostility to the Introduction Into this country of 'ocelga rootract labor and of Chinese labor alien to our eiviiisatten and to our Constitution: sad we demand the rigid enforcement of existing laws against It, atsd favor such immediate lrgtilattoc as will exclude such labor from our short a We declare our epuoottton to all combinations of capital organised la trusts or otherwise to control erbitrarily Hie condition of trade among our citizens: snd we recommend to Congress and the State beptslatures.

We reaffirm the policy of appropriating the public leads of the Hailed States to be homesteads for American citizens and settlers, not aliens, which the Re public it party established la lfitt. against the i«rslstent opposition of too Democratic party In Congress, sad which has brought our great Western domain iato such magnlOeient development The restoration of unearned railroad li.nd grants to the public domain for the nse of actual settlers, which was begun under toe admtaiatrat toa of President Arthur, should be continued. We deny that toe Democratic party has ever restored one aero to the people, but deduce that by toe j« tat action ot Republicans aad Democrats in Cuugvess about fifty millions of seres of unearned lands, originally granted foe the eoastrncttoa nf railroads, have ben restored to the public domain in pursuance ef eoodittoas Inserted by the Republican party 1b the Original grant.

This is the only road to perfection. —Confucius declared that, a man’s character is decided, not by the number of times that he falls, but by the number of times that he lifts himself

Remember ibis you who have tested these things, not they. You did not see with your father’s eyes, neither should you expect your children to see with your eyes. —Some people look upon truth as an invalid, who ran only take the (iir in a close carriage, with a gentleman in a black coat on the box.
