Horace Iïublee was elected Chainnan of the State Committee. The following platform was reportcd and adopted : 1. That wc rcafiinn tbc principies which have guided the National Itepublican party hitberto, 2. That we declare it to bo the stcadfast puzpose of the Republicana of Wiyconein to co-opcratc with all good citizens iu maintaining in letter and spirit the constitutional anicndmcuts framed to secure equal rights and protection to all in maintaining the plighted faith of the nation, and in promoting reforma to secure econoruy and einciency in every branch of tbc Government. 3. That, motst earnestly desiring the pacifieation of the Southern Bection of our Union,and its ppeedy return to material prosperity, we are xuindf ui that tilia can be gained only by obedience to the law, by protection to all in cvery right, and by a careful regard for that class of citizens less able to protect themsetveB. In the efforts of ihe preeeet naüonal administration to restore peace and concord to the South wc recognize a magnaninioua purpose to remove cvery semblance of excuse for lawlepsneps aud violence. Wc hope tbat the magnanfiiiity will be duly appreciated, and that the reeiprocal plodgos made by prominent eitizens and omeialsof the South will be faithfully kept. We shall rejoico if the Southern policy of the President produces the hoped-for resulte of order and peace, but, if these resul ts thall not follow this experiment, we dcinand that other measures be adopted which shall secure to all citizens. without distinction of race or color, the f ullcat cujoynient of their conatitutional righta. 4. That the determi nation of the National Executive to render the civil service 'more efficiënt and lees obnoxious to criticifctm meets our approval. The perfectaon of our Bystcm of governinent in every detail of administraron is one of the most lmportant duties of the hour. All cfforts in tliat direction should be fairly connidcrcd, neither haatily approcd nor condemncd. 5. That in the purpoKes and patriotifm of President Hayes wc declare our unphaken confidencc. C. That tbc atteutiou of -ijngieËH íb called to the neceseity of such modification of the Patent laws as shall, wbile affoiding adequate recoiupenne to the inventor, at the same time secure the complete protection of the people from unduc exactions for the use of patentcd articles. 7. That we rcjoice that the fidelicy of the Republican party ín upholdiug the national credit has brought our currency so near the point of reAumption of specie paj'ment. We hold that the silvcr dollar should be restorrd to its fornier place as money. and made a legal tender for the payment of debts, except where otherwirtc distinctly provided by law, with the coinago eo regulated as to maintain an equality of valué aud preservo the harmoniouh circulation of goid, Büver and legal notes as money. 8. While we earnestly condemn all violence, outlawry and mob rulo, yet the Repnblican party exjretit-eB its heartfelt Kvmpathy with the condition of the workingmen who are willing to work, but are unable to flna employmcnt, and public atteution should be called to the grave importauce of the labor question, and the moBt carefnl coniíideratíoli should be given to the earoo by Federal and State lcglslation. 9. Tbat we oppose any furtlier beatowal of pubüc lands npon railroad corjiorations, and urge the establishment of such governmental rpRiilation over inter-State raL'roads as their importance as nationai higbways and tho interest of tho people demand. 10. Tíiat wf; congratiilate the people of Wisconsln tbat, during the many years in which the Republican party bas been m tho ascendency, no stain has been tound upon its record in this Htati, nnil. therefore, confidently point to its whole liistory, and especially to the wie and cconomical admiuistration of Gov.
