CONCERNING THE TICKET. For Coroner from Sixth District. HON. E. E. S. SAMSON. THE PLATFORM. The Republican party of Iowa in State Convention assembled, declares: The United States of America is a nation not a league. By the combined workings of the National and State Governments, under their respective constitutions, the rights of every citizen should be secured at home and protected abroad, and the common welfare promoted. Any failure on the part of either the National or state Governments to use every possible constitutional power to afford ample protection to their citizens, both at home and abroad, is a criminal neglect of their highest obligation. Against the assaults of traitors and rebels, the Republican party has preserved these governments, and they represent the great truths spoken to the world by the Declaration of Independence, that “all men are created equal that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that for the attainment of these ends governments have been instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, which consent is evidenced by a majority of unlawful suffrages of the citizens, determined in pursuance of law; and in order that this end may be justly and fully reached, the Republican party of Iowa demands “that every qualified elector in every State, South and North, Democrat or Republican, black or white, shall be permitted, undisturbed by force and unawed by fear, to vote at all elections at the place prescribed by law, and nowhere else, just once and no more than once; and that every vote so cast shall be honestly counted, and that every person chosen by such votes to any office shall be freely inducted into it,” and effectively supported in the discharge of its duties; and every well-informed person knows that with such freedom of elective action and honest administration as are herein demanded, at least five of the Southern States are Republican by large majorities, and that they are now in the hands of the Democratic party solely through force, fraud, intimidation and failure to enforce the principles herein set forth. 11. Permanent pacification of the Southern states of the Union and complete protection of all citizens in all their civil, political, personal, and property rights is a duty to which the Republican party stands sacredly pledged. In order to redeem this pledge, it placed recent amendments in the Constitution of the United States, and upon the righteous basis of said amendments, it will go forward in the work of pacification until peace shall come through right doing and contentment through justice. IV. The new Democratic dogma of home rule, which seeks to shut out from participation in the political affairs of the Southern states, all citizens who oppose the Democratic party, and are not natives of said States, and in obedience to the spirit of which every man from the North of Republican sentiments is termed a carpet-bagger, is hereby denounced as the worst phase of State rights yet developed, and we demand for the people of Iowa absolute freedom to go wherever they may please, within the limits of the nation, with the perfect enjoyment of their rights as citizens, to utter their sentiments by speech or press upon all subjects touching their interests and all matters of public concern. The annual conflict between the traitors and rebels who sought to destroy the Republic, and the patriots who defended it and preserved it, was more than a mere trial of physical force between Greeks. It was a struggle of right against wrong; of a true civilization against a false one; of good government against anarchy; of patriots against traitors, wherein the Republican party was the defender of the right, the champion of a true civilization, the promoter of good government, and in whose ranks the patriots marched against and overcome the traitors, and whose ver fails to regard the Republican party from this standpoint and in this light, fails to comprehend its character, its achievements, its purifications and its duties, and whoever treats with the Democratic party from any other standpoint, manifests incapacity to understand palpable facts, and will be overwhelmed with disaster. That the soldiers who fought the battles of the Republic are entitled to special credit for the heroism which they displayed; for the hardships which they endured; for their selfish devotion to liberty and order, and for the great fact that the war turned out as it did, and discredit in a like degree attaches to the traitors and rebels who fought to destroy the nation. Whoever fails to appreciate these lads is derelict in the duty he owes to the Republican party. VII. That the Republican party is the party of order, and opposed to all lawlessness in which every quarter the same may arise, or in whatever form it may appear. III. That the wisdom of the financial policy of the Republican party is made manifest by its results, it has brought specie and paper practically together months before the date lived by law for the resumption of specie payment by the Government, it has given to all classes of the same value. It has placed our nation on an equal footing with the other great nations of the world, in all matters of national concern. It has promoted the refunding of the National debt at a low rate of interest. It has maintained the national credit, and any change in this policy will tend to obstruct it in its work of restoring specie payments, whereby paper currency becomes absolutely as valuable as gold; and so, as a standard coin of reviving business, promoting industry and maintaining the public credit, is hereby denounced as wholly evil and injurious to the best interests of the country. IV. The organized raid on the treasury by Southern Democratic members of Congress for the payment of hundreds of millions of dollars of war claims is all unparalleled impudence, and a present danger against the success of which the triumph of the Republican party is our only security. V. We favor wisely adjusted tariffs for the revenue. In the matter of faithful administration of the public funds, the Republican party challenges the closest scrutiny and invites comparison with any and all other agencies in public or private affairs. Notwithstanding vast sums, amounting to thousands of millions of dollars collected and disbursed by the Republican Administrations, the percentage of loss is less than can be shown by any other political party that has ever been entrusted with the control of public affairs, or by individuals in their own private business, thus showing that the charge of corruption made against the Republican party is as groundlessly impudent as was the effort of the Southern Democracy to destroy the Union widely wicked and atrociously cruel. The title to the current Presidential term was definitely and finally settled to the Forty-fourth Congress and any attempt to re-open it is dangerous, illegal, and unconstitutional, and the Republican party of Iowa will resist all efforts not founded on the Constitution and existing laws to displace the present possessor of said title; and it is a source of sincere congratulation that the firm attitude unfullied by the Republican party of the country in this regard forced the majority of the Democratic members of the House of Representatives to disavow the real purpose of the so-called Potter Investigation. XIII. That the efforts of the Democratic party to cripple and render inefficient the army in the navy of the United States is most earnestly condemned, and all efforts looking to the recent reduction of the same, with the view of future reorganization, whereby the official relations may lie in the whole or part supplied by officers who engaged in the rebellion against the nation, who hold to the doctrine of secession and who acknowledge primary allegiance to a State, are hereby denounced as dangerous to the peace of the country and permanence of the Union. XIV. That it is not only the right but the duty of all good citizens at the party caucuses, in the party convention, and at the polls, to use his best efforts to secure the nomination and election of good men to places of official trust, and we disapprove of all interference with peaceful freedom of action of any citizen in the exercise of said right and in the discharge of said duty. XV. That personal temperance is a most commendable virtue in a people, and the practical, impartial movement now active throughout the state for the promotion of democracy has our profound respect, sympathy, and approval. XVI. That we demand the most rigid economy in all departments of the public service, and rigid retrenchment in all public expenses in all possible directions, and reduction of taxation to the lowest limits consistent with efficient public service. In the direction of such economy and retrenchment, we heartily accord with and commend the action of the last Republican legislature in reducing the expenses of the State in the sum of $50,000, and this example set by the State should be followed in all other departments of the Government. XVII. That the Republican party of Iowa demands an honest, faithful, careful, and efficient discharge of duty by all officers, whether federal, State, county, or municipal, and requires a full, fair, impartial, and searching investigation into the official conduct and the business of all officers, without regard to party or personal association, and when ver and wherever fraud and dishonesty are discovered, the Republican party of Iowa demands prompt punishment of the guilty parties, “let no guilty man escape.” For Every Man. We call, therefore, upon all who apposed the rebellion of 1811, without distinction of party, to rally attain to the support of the late, order, and stable government, and to overwhelm with defeat the reckless agitators who, to gain political power, would add to the present distress of the country by shaking the foundations of the government they failed in a four years' tear to destroy.—Address of the Republican Congressional Committee.
