| ulaiterable devotion to the great principles o!
| that party which has done so much for hu-
| manities equal rights and exact justice to all
and IL is with just pride We invite the atten-
/ ton Of the young men Of the Nation to the
| spiendor OF its achievements, the grandeur Of
| its aspirations and the imperishable glory with
| which it has illuminated the pages of Amer
| lean history. Coming into power twenty four
years age. IL found the industries OF the country
paralyzed, its credit DESTROYED, its treasury
| empty. treason and treachery having sought to
strangle and destroy it. With heriosm. courage
and patriotism unparalleled 1t dragged from
place and power the hoard of Democratic
traitors who had fastened themselves to its
vitals throttled treason, destroyed disunion
| and secession reorganized the industries OF the
country and filed the Nation with pe.ce pros
perity and happiness, reduced the cost Of the
| necessaries OF life, increased the wages OF
laborers. filled the National treasury. gave us
the best financial system in the world I'M
til defeat turned the Administration over to
the men who sought to destroy it and who now
seek to reverse the policy that has brought
about these great blessings.
Second-when we call attention to the splen-
did courage. herosm. selfdeninl and achieve
ments of the brave men who. forsakiny the COM
forts Of home and the company OF loved ones,
went forth 70 battle for liberty, law and unity
and barred their breasts to storms OF shot and
shell which swept over the battle fields Of the
late war. and when We remember how they
saved us so much money in the treasury that
the Democratic Administration can find no legit-
innate way in which to dispose OF it. we de-
from these men the necesSarfes Of life, and We
specially denounce Grover Cleveland. Presi-
dent. for the coarse and brutal language
employed in his veto message concern
ing them, and when rebels and traitors
like Voorhees, Of Indiana, Vest OF Mis-
souri, and Blackburn Of Kentucky attemp:
to beIttle their services to the country or de-
fame them, we expect our Senators and Repre-
sentatives to defend them, and it is with pro-
found gratitude We acknowledge our great obi
CAUTIOUS to Senator John J. ingalls, for the able
manner in which he mopped the earth with
these representatives Of the nurderers and as
sassins Of Andersonvilc and Belle Isle and the
Knights OF the Golden Circle Of Indiana. and
We here and now indorse every word and SEN
tence in his great speeches in reply to these
traitors.
Third-That the great services to the party
and State rendered by Senator Plumb entitle
him to the support OF the Republican party OF
the State. and we recommend that he be re-
elected by the corning Legislature next winter
to the high Office he now holds.
Fourth-The policy established by Washing
ton. jefferson, Madison and the founders OF the
Republic IN framing import laws so as to afford
protection to American industries is the doc
trine recognized and accepted by the Rcpub-
lican party, and in maintaining the interests OF
labor it is the just policy not to expose it TO the
pauper competition Of Europe, and the Repub
lican party reaffirms its determination to main
tain American industries.
Fifth-It IS our duty to see that each State
has q Republican form Ct government in fact.
and each man has right to vote as his con-
science dictates and to have his vote counted.
The murders and outrages perpetrated by the
Democratic party Of the South 70. The purpose
of perpetuating their power is CRIME not only
against the victims. but it Is believed to be o
crime against the Nation in which we live. and

this outrage.
Sixth-Rt solret, by the Republicans Of Fan
sas, in State convention assembled that We IT,
dorsc and approve in the fullest measure the
speeches of John James Ingalls, in the Senate
of the United States replying to the attacks on
Union soldiers by the ex-CUnfederates G. NJ.
Vest, of Missouri, and Joseph Blackburn. OF
Kentucky. Every Republicans cries amen and
his few remarks OF May in the Senate in
which he SO plainly disclosed the Eo!lowEess
Of Democratic pretelsions, the virus OF
the rebellion and the hate OF loyalty
sought to De hidden by the lauda-
lions of Democratic Generals in the
Union army command the admiration OF every
Republican of Kansas. The task was done so
well that there was rot twig left Of the Tall
Sycamore OF the Wabash to tell tie tale of his
former existence. Rtsotred, further. that the
delegation to the Chicago convention wouli
represent the Republicans Of Kansas by giving
Old vote for ]. j. ingalls, as candidate for
