Republican Iowa Platform of 1876 Adopts Reform and Unity
The Iowa Republican platform pledges national unity under a indivisible republic with state self-government, supports currency reform toward coin convertibility, tariff for revenue, anti-railroad land grants, patent-law revisions, arbitration over war, and free public education. It opposes a third presidential term, endorses strict subjection of corporations to law, praises current administrations, and urges unity against Democratic opposition. The document also endorses local candidate George T. Holmes for sheriff, and lays out favorable views of county officers Latimer for supervisor and others, highlighting character and fitness.
