harbOr bill, and protests against federal
interference in state affairs, n recent ex-
ample of which is given in the nomination
by tho Republicans Of the secretary of the
treasury for governor. A strong demand
is also made for civil service reform. The
platform then refois to the necessity Of for
bidding bypeEal enactment black mailing %!
dependent Otice-hOlilers. 1t holds the Re-
publican administration responsible for
Outrages upon our fellow. citizens abroad,
and demands proper protection for them.
1t then charges the local Republicans with
corruption and with refusing to their
governor the denomination which was due
him by custom, because lo dared to use
his veto power to thwart their schemes. 1t
demands immediate revision of the laws
relating to tho shipping and carriage Of
ocean freight, in order to restore our NOR
chant marine to it's former prosperity.
