THE PLATFORM.
adopted by the Republican C0nUen-
ton at WdLIG- FGLIG.

The following is the platform submit
ted aud adopted by the convention:
As the delegates of the republicans Of
Washington, in convention assembled,
we congratulate our fellow citizens upon
the success of the republican party in
securing the admission of our common
wealth into the Union, in spite Of the
strenuous and long continued opposition
of the democracy, whose leaders feared
that the addition to the voting strength
of the nation of the free and progressive
commonwealth of the northwest would
render of no avail the terrorism and
fraud by which free expression OF
political opinion in the southern states
is prevented, and by which the demo-
cratic party hopes again to secure con-
troll of the national government.
In thus congratulating our fellow
citizens we urge all independent voters
to unite with us in support of the party
to which the admission of Washington
into the Union is due, and in rebuking
the party which has always opposed the
political progress of the northwest.
We heartily commend the wise and
statesmanlike administration Of Presi-
dent Harrison, which, by the pursuit of
vigorous and consistently American
policy in dealing with affairs at home
and abroad, has already endeared itself
to the people, and we invite comparison
of the acts of this administration with
those of the recent administration, whose
foreign policy consisted in bullying weak
nations and trucking to strong ones,
and whose domestic policy was well set
forth in a free trade message, pension
vetoes, and an order for the return Of
the rebel flags captured by the soldiers
of the Union.
The many resources of Washington
require the fostering care of protection
for their speedy development. The
doctrine enunciated at Chicago in June
1883, by the national republican party
received the Endorsement Of the people
of Washington by nearly 5000 majority
With renewed faith in their truth, We
emphatically affirm those cardinal prin,
ciples, and again commend them to the
electors of Washington for their appro
bation. We fully realize that in order
to be efficacious in the highest degree {
protective tariff must be subject to fire.
quent revision, but we insist that sucf
revision shall be made by the friends O
protection and not by its enemies. We
reject the fallacious idea that a tariff
should be levied for revenue only, and de
nounce the democratic party for til
recent attempt to force into full compe
tition with the pauper labor of Europe
and Asia the intelligent American work
ingmen employed in more than 10(
lines of industry. We assert that thu

ducts of the commonwealth, and W.

ward OF US, ana, skipping from the sur
face, Went close over our heads.
As the smoke Of this discharge rolled
away. an object a great deal darker
than snake and far more terrible, open
ed its folds at the briggs main truck. It
had just been sent up abaft the sails,
so that we did not see it until it thus
suddenly expanded aloft. 1t was the
fearful flag of an Algerine pirate, with
the deaths head grinning CHASTITY white
IN the centre Of its horribly black field.
At the same moment, the fellow
waved as If about to bring his full
brOadside to bear upon US. As he did
this, we counted eleven guns on the
side next to us, and knew that we had
to contend with twenty-five gun brig
There was no time to lose if we would
get in the blow.
Stand BY" cried our captain, In a
voice of thunder. Aim Iowi All
ready nowi F'irei"
/ was boy of fifteen, and until this
moment I had felt terribly nervous.
But this feeling now left me instantly.
There was something in that stout,
determined call, Standby" that had
the effect Of magic.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
went the five big guns Of our starbOard
battery. The deck trembled under
the shock, and the thick, black smoke
cane rolling back into our faces.
We heard the crash of splinters on
board the AIgerine, and knew that one
shot had told There was confusion
upon the briggs deck, and I could see
somRhing that had the appearance of
blOO& running down from her scuppers.
IF the charges of only two or three Of
those nine-pOunders had gone sweep
ing through that mass of black scoun-
areIs, there must have been fearful
work
But the confusion was over in a mo-
ment, and the grim enemy returned
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1889-05-24

our fire. I saw one of our best men
go down, dropping stone dead upon
the planks, but there was no time to
ask how he had been hit or how much
he had been mangled.
Again our nine-pOunders sent out
their iron storm, and again the pirate
replied. It was now a fierce battle,
with the guns roaring upon both sides,
and the smoke so thick that we could
hardly see the enemy at all.
But all the time we heard our cap
tain's voice, and it encouraged US like
the sound of a trumpet.
"Fire low! fire low" he kept crying ;
"pIug her right in the hull! You are
doing well, my good fellows; you are
doing welI!"
Suddenly we found that the brig
was close aboard of us. She looked
dreadfully cut up; her jibboOm was
gone and her main tOpmast also, but
her savage crew had filed her away
before the wind in order to lay US on
board.
In another moment her bow struck
the Eagles side. The black villains
were swarming upon the bowsprit Of
their vessel, ready to leap down upon
our deck, but our good captain had
provided against this. Two of the
nine-pOunders on the opposite side of
the ship had been turned around in
their tackles, so that by firing across
the deck they could sweep all before
them.
"Now." he cried, "take good aim,
men-be sure of them There, let 'em
have it -
Both the big cannOns roared together,
and the effect was terrible. The pi-
rates bOwsprit was entirely cleared OF
men. They fell from it as blackbirds
fail from tree where they have clUs-
tered when the sportsman sweeps them
with a full charge of fine shot.
And now it was a hand-to-hand fight,
terrible beyond description. The pi-
rates had their cimeters and our men
their bayonets. But the black faces
and bare black arms were beaten back.
Although five to one, they could not
overcome the determined resistance of
the Yankee crew.
In the dreadful struggle our helms
man had left the wheel and joined in the
melee, when the help of every man was
needed to repeI the frantic fiends who
were striving to obtain a fOothOld on
our decks.
1t was most fortunate circumstance
that he did so, for with no one at the
helm, the ship swung around In such
a manner that the pirate was brought
to the Ieeward, and made to swing
straight off from US, so that our whole
broadside could be brought to bear,
while he could not use a single gun.
His bOwsprit had become entangIed
IN our rigging, and he lay helpless,
without the power either to get away
or to return our fire with effect. The
moment q man appeared upon the briggs
head, with the desperate intent Of
boarding US, he was swept away.
Oh, how our men worked at the
nine-pOunders Bang, bang, bang!3
went the heavy reports, and every shot
made a clean hole through the bows Of
the brig.
We saw that she settled. The water
must be rushing into her in torrents
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1889-05-24

Still there was no cry Tor quarter, and
/ don't know that we would have heed
ed it had such CRY been heard.
Bang, bang, bangi Crash, crash,
crash ]" Every shot told, now.
Give it to the devils I" said our
noble old captain; we've got them
sure I" And how our men sprang to the
work! They did Otrequire any urging.
Lower and lower sank the pirate,
till her fOrecastle was almost on q level
with the water. Then, all at once she
gave 81 plunge as if to dive right under
our ship. She rushed forward, her bow
spirit crashing against the Eagles side
and breaking short off.
Then she seemed to stand almost on
end, her stern uppermOst. There was
a sort Of struggle as OF. some dying ani-
mal-and the next moment down she
went.
The Eagle rolled fearfuIIy In the
deep chasm made by the sinking hull.
but in q few minutes she sat upon the
ordinary swell, triumphant and safe.
the good old New Yorker that she was.
At first all the black faces were car
ried down with their sinking vessel.
but presently we saw three or four
heads bObbing above water, and our
boat was lowered to pick up the poor
Wretches whom the sea had failed to
retain in its grasp.
/ went with the others in the boat.
We picked up three Notwithstanding
fellows, about the color of N0Ors, who
looked as if they would very gladly cut
off our heads If they could get o
chance.
Then we pulled for the fourth and
last, and hauled him, too, into the boat.
He was as white as we were our
selves, and, as soon as he could get
breath to speak, he said something in
plain English.
We all looked at him in astonish-
ment. He was thin and miserable,
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1889-05-24

and how he could have come there we
were at a loss to imagine.
/ saw that his eyes were fixed upon
me from the very first, and 1 looked
hard at him in return. It seemed to
me that I had seen him before.
He was upon the very point of speak
ing to me-indeed, he had got out my
first name-when I Just dropped my
oar right where it was and threw my
self upon him with my arms about his
neck.
ooh, Joe, Joel" I cried; ooh, Brother
Joel'
It seemed marvellous that L should
have known him, he was so worn and
wretched. But I did know him, and
he knew me. The tears rained fast
down his face as he tried to speak.
When we got him on board the ship
he told rs his whole story. His vessel
had been taken by the Algerines three
years before, and he, with all his ship
mates, had been condemned to slavery.
At first he had been kept on shore.
but after a time he was put on board
the cOrsair we had just sunk, where he
was forced to undergo the most dis
tressing servitude.
During the battle he had beVn kept
in attendance upon the wounded, and
one nine-pound shot, he said, gave him
plenty Of employment.
His deliverance seemed miraculous
to him, as well it might
One of the Algerines lay dead on our
ships deck, and this fellow, he said,
was the captain of the brig, the black
master whom he had served.
We put the three rescued Algerines
on shore at Gibraltar, letting them &c
about their business, and then with
happy hearts made sail across the At
lantic.
I went up the long lane with Joe, and
into the doOryard, just as I had dreamed
that I did. But mothers feelings, who
can tell?
Instead Of losing me, she had now
her other boy, and for once in her life.
at least, she had reason to bless a sea
voyage, though it had once been SO abb
hOrrent to her.
