convention assem- bled.. deems 1t annec-
cessary at this time to supplement its

upon questions Of national concern. 1t
renews its adherence to the principles
eIn bodied in that platform. and to- day,

publican party of the Nation in the
coming Presidential election, congratu-
lates the Republican voters Of the State

vention of theiY choice fer standard
bearer, that dauntless and resolute
patriot and statesman, James G. Blaine

sociats on the ticket. It adopts As an
Ineligible creed Of political principles
the platform of the last Repub lican
National Convention, the triumph Of
which principles It believes will insure
a renewed era Of national progress snd
prosperity. In the political campaign
