renews it's adherence to the principles
EN- bodied in that platform. and to-day
fully confident of the success of the Re

coming Presidential election, congratu
lates the Republican voters Of the State
upon tn selection by the Chicago Con

patriot and statesman, James G. Blaine

inteIiigiblc creed of political principles
the platform of the last Eepublica n
National Convention, the triumph OF
a renewed era of national progress and

Government.
