REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.
Adopted at Topeka, August 18th, 1875.

The representative of the Republic
can party of the State of Kansas, in
Convention assembled, renew the
pledge of their devotion to the grand
political organization, under whose
auspices so many triumphs have been
secured, and which, in war and peace,
has faithfully battled for those cardl-
nal principles that distinguish free gov
ernments. AS further pledge of the
fidelity of the Republicans of Kansas,
it is hereby
/. Resolred, That the platform of
principles laid down by the National
Convention. at Cincinnati, meets with
our hearty and enthusiastic endorse
ment, and il is onr earnest belief til at
in their practical application OF affairs
of government lies the surest hope of
substantial REFORM faithful discharge
of honorable obligations, and stead
fast adherence to the fundamental doc
trines established by the result of the
war, and the vital legislation incident
thereto.
2. Resoiced, That in Rutherford B..
Hayes and William A. Wheeler, our
candidates for President and Vice
President of the United States, we re-
cognize statesmen of tried experience,
commanding ability and spotlcss III
tegrity: their letters of acceptance
commend them to all lovers of sincere
reform, and pledged to such retorma-
tory work, a faith which has never yet
been violated or impugned.
3. Resolved, That we should regard
with apprehension the return of the
Democratic party to power, as prac-
teal surrender of that ascendancy of
liberty which was secured by so much
blood and treasure, and wei
come to the control of the government
of the malign influences which for
years sought its overflow in the field.
4. ReSOtUed, That in the administra-
ton OF both the National and State
governments we are in favor of the
most rigid economy, the strictest ac-
countability, and that, in view of the
depression of the times, it is peculiar
ly incumbent upon us to husband our
resources, aud to postpone such public
enterprises of costly character as are
not absolutely essential to our imme-
diate wants, to season of renewed
prosperity.
5. Resolred, That in George L. An
thony, our nomiuee for Governor, we
recognize a man of pre-emiLent fitness
for the station-earnest, capable and
unquestioned integrity tried in posi-
ton of trust, no just reproach has ever
reached him; and we rely upon his
vigor and eloquence for substantial
increase to our assured overwhelming
majority. His association on the ticket
are men whom the Republicans will
delight to honor, and by whom their
several trusts will be faithfully admin
istered.
6. Resolred, That we invite the CO.
operation of all mel, whether called
Liberal" or "Independent," to whom
reform is something more than an
empty name, offering them the guaran-
tee of candidates, National and State,
whose character and history are an I'M
qualified assurance that under their
guidance every vital reform will be
advanced by their effort and in
tlueuce

Hon. John Kelly, of Wichita, was
nominated on Saturday last, in the
Thirty-eighth District. for State Sen
ator. Last winter he represented
Sedgwick county in the House, and
was one of the most practical, capable
and highly esteemed members of that
body. He is legislator of genuine
worth, because he is universally re-
spected by his associates, attends to
his work faithfully and .intelligently,
has no nonsense about him, aud does
not talk unless he has something to say
His nomination is one eminently fit
to be made. Sedgwick county will
have, in him, valuable representa-
tive n tie floor of the Senate.-4tct-
iSon Champion.

Amos Harris for Judge.

Judge Amos Harris, of this city re-
ceived the nomination at the hands of
his party, at Winfield, for Judge of
the 18th Judicial District. He is good
man. Like John Kelley and Judge
Campbell, he received the unanimous
vote ofhis convention, but unlike them
he will hardly make the goal Of his
ambition. Judge Harris will carry his
full party vote, but as Judge Campbell
will do the same thing. Au reroir.

Hon. James l.. Mcdowell, was long
and we'll known as one of the leading
men of Leavenworth. He was twice
Mayor of Leavenworth, United States
Marshal for Kansas, Postmaster OF
Leavenworth, and the Andy johnson
opposition candidate for Governor.
He is man of ability. We learn that
he is President of Hayes and Wheel
er club in Jefferson county. He has
been quietly conducting farm in that
county aid abstaining from politics for
several years. Such men are generally
heard from OH Presidential year.

GEORGE T. ANTHONY AND JOHN MARTIN
Democratic whisky-8uucomb,, and Bluff

Since the nomination of George L.
Anthony we have had the thin whine
so often rung in our ears by Demo-
Gratis that Anthony would lose the
German vote" that we have become
heartily disguised. They said the
same of HAYES and Wheeler. When
asked for reasons we get but one answer
Gle is too strong temperance man"
Such bosh is disgusting. Do Demo
Gratis presume that the Germans are
so void of manhood, or that they are
SO clanish as to sacrifice principle and
convictions because of cry so utterly
void of sense or reason? In the name
of common sense what do they expect
the Germans to do? Taken as class
no other adopted citizens are so in
telligent-no class of men are more
firmly grounded in convictions OF
right and wrong than the Germans.
They are more thoroughly American
in their tendencies than any other Ma
tionality Because of some nominees
personal convictions, must the Ger
man element of the Republican party
refrain from participating in their
own government, or from exercising
their perogatives as electors? The
whole cry is only an attempted scare,
and when Republicans, as we have
heard them upon the streets of Wichi-
ia, assent TO such nonsense, they not
only expose a weak Judgment, but
disloyalty to party and to principles.
John Martin, the Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor, is as pronounced a
temperance man" as Anthony could
be. John Martin does not drink,
neither does Anthony. John Martin
does rot use tobacco, neither does
Anthony. John Martin does not use
profane language, neither does An
thony Upon all these questions John
Martin is not a fanatic, neither is An
thony. John Martin is thoroughly a
moral man and upright citizen, yet in
this respect he in no sense excels
Anthony. But here the parallel ceases.
In political principles they offer as
widely as the respective platforms up
on which they stand. Anthony is a
thorough believer in the doctrines and
supporter of the party that saved
this Nation; John Martin, upon the
other hand, stands by the party, whose
battle cry has, ever since the days of
Jackson, been, I'VE must rule Ameri-
ca or ruin her" Anthony believes
that the triumphs of the Republican
party in the past sixteen years result
ed directly from the truest ideas by
which men were ever governed, and
that the above period VIII shine in
history as one embracing the most
marked progress ever made by man;
while upon the other hand the plat
form upon which John Martin stands
declares that all those triumphant
years are worse than blank-a failure.
As to the beer and liquor question,
there are but very few people in en-
lightened Kansas but that understand !
that the Governor has no more power
over either its manufacture or sale
than private citizen, and that the :
Legislature alone can effect the stat
US of either. 1
Anthony will carry the State by
nearly or quite as large a majority as {
Hayes aud Wheeler, aud he will get
the German Republican vote just as '
solid as Martin viii get the German {
Democratic vote. /

against Vernon, the Republican Elec.
tor from Lincoln county be true, he
should be Immediately lifted. In our
judgment he should be lifted any how,
and as one of the Republican papers
of the State we ask the Central Com
mittee to give us another man. The
late Republican Convention did some
hastv things some of which proved un-
wise, aud putting this Vernon, an un-
known man, on the electoral ticket
was one of them. This no year in
which to take chances. Bounce him.

The ratification meeting at Wicnita
was addressed by Mr.. Ryan. Col. p. B.
Plumb, Hon. S. n. Wood, and Hon w.
r. Brown. The Topeka folks say that
the address of Col. Plumb was the
ablest political effort they ever heard
in Kansas Commonwealth.
And well they may say so. Cool,
calm and deliberate, with large and
appreciative audience, he made one of
the best political speeches ever made
in the Walnut Talley Times.
