First-The Republican party Of Kansas, in
convention assembled, sends greeting to the
Republicans Of the Nation and reaffirm> it's
unalterable devotion to the great principles Of
that party which has done much for hui
manites, equal rights and exact justice to all.
and it is with just pride We invite the atten-
ton of the young men Of the Nation to the
splendOr 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 wer:y-four
years ago, it 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 it dragged from
place and power the hoard Of Democratic
traitors who had fastened themselves to it's
vitals, throttled treason, destroyed disunion
and secession, recognized the industries of the
country and filed the Nation with peace, 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, herOisn, selfdenial ard achieve
ments Of the brave men who. forsaking the COM
forts Of home and the company Of loved ones.
went forth to 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-
nounce the rebel Democracy for withholding
from these men the necessaries 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 attempt
to belittle 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 murderers and as
sassins Of Andersonville and Belle Isle and the
mir &c Of fhn Eat1 Cirp1c, Of I,1;n ovd
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, aud we recommend that he be re-
elected by the coming 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 Repub-
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
ican party reaffirms its determination to main
tain American industries.
Fifth-It IS our duty to see that each State
has Republican form Of government in fact,
and each man has q right to vote as his con-
science dictates and to have his vote counted.
The murders and Outrages perpe:rated by the
Democratic party Of the South fos She purpose
If perpetuating their power is a CRIME not only
against the victims, but it is believed to be a
rhine against the Nation in which we live. and
which. If not suppressed, will eventually over
power this Government. We demand such Con-
legislation as will efTectually suppress
his outrage.
Sixth-Resotred, by the Republicans of Fan
las, in State convention assembled, that We in
lorse and approve in the fullest measure the
peeches Of John James Ingalls, in the Senate
VI the United States replying to the attacks on
Union soldiers by the ex-Confederates c. NJ.
Vest, of Missouri, and Joseph Blackburn. OF
Every Republicans cries amen and
lis few remarks OF May in the Senate in
which he so plainly disclosed the hollowness
II Democratic pretensions. the virus OF
he rebellion and the hate OF loyalty
ought to De hidden by the lauda-
ions Of Democratic Generals in the
Union army command the admiration of every
republican Of Kansas. The task was done so
rell that there was not twig left Of the Tall
sycamore Of the Wabash to tell tie tale OF his
primer existence. Resoired, further. that the |
allegation to the Chicago convention wouli
epresent the Republicans Of Kansas by giving
solid vote for ]. j. Ingalls, as candidate for
resident OF the United States.
Seventh-Res0tred, That while We are for |

a certain words, II his nomination shall be |
ound impracticable, and the election of James |
!. Blaine is demanded by the delegates Of t'I |
oubtful States, that then and in that even: the |
