vention IN Chicago. That in BENZ. Harrison
We recognize unquestiOned integrity, high
statesmanship and devoted patriotism, and
pledge 70 him and to mis- honored and dis
unguished associate our vigorous and earn
est support.
We most fully and cordially endorse the
wise economical and ststesnanlike admin
istrAtion OF Gov. Cyrus u. Luce. and CON-
mend the yigilence and courage with which
be has discharged the official duties of his
great Office. We are also Justly proud of the
| faithful and capable manner In which
every state officer has discharged the duties
OF bis ONCE during the present term.
| We believe in the system Of protection
which has built up and diversified our in
| dustries. and has made US the best fed
clothed. housed and hsppiest and most
civilized OF all peoples; which has rewarded
labor with wages and conditions unequaled
elsewhere, and which has made our mar
kets the envy of ali the world.
We arraixn aud csDsure President Clevs-
land and toe Democratic party for their
| bitter and disloyal attacks upon American
industries and American labor, and especi-
| ally for their direct and merciess blows
aimed az Michigan and those fher great in
dustries which have advanced her 10 the
front rank in the march of states. We ar
| raign them for placing wool upon the free
! list the effect OF which has already been &c
| greatly reduce ia price and which, If adopt
| sd, would absolutely drive from our farms
the growing OF sheep.
We believe in a reduction Of the iucreas
! ing surplus and national revenues TO gov
ernnental requirements by an American
| protective snd republican method. and no
by an English free trade and democratic
system. and that such reduction should b.
