dent.

at this time again TO appeal to the intelligence
anu patriotism. justice and fairness OF the peo-
pie by a unanimous denomination OF Cleveland
for President.
Third-The confidence which led to the
election OF Cleveland has been justified by his |
good works. The Civil-Service had long been de. |
graded into an army OF political retainers and |
has now been turned into a body OF honest and |
INDUSTRIOUS public servants. The perilS of |
dangerous revenue have been pointed out by |
the President and good reform suggestions have |
been urged upon Congress. The true and real |
interest OF the soldiers OF the republic has |
been faithfully and zealously guarded. de- |
Tended and promoted, as evidenced by the
Increase Of pensions to soldiers and orphan
children and widows Public confidence in the
financial operations of the Government has
been established and has brought happiness
and prosperity to the country. A patriotic
spirit OF fraternity has been established be-
tween the different portions of our common
country, and we now are in spirit and truth one
people.

in political or social form. We sympathiZe
with Ireland in her struggle for home rule as we
also do with the suffering and oppressed labor

the soulless monopolies

represent Kansas in the National Democratic
convention at ST. Louis June ) are instructed
10 vote as a unit for the denomination OF Cleve
land for President and such person for Vice
President as will bring the greatest strength in
the November election.
Sixth-That while the Democracy OF Kansas

garding the nomination OF any one for Vice

crazy OF Indiana and New York shoulG govern
our delegation in the selection OF President and
