tional Republican party; favoring reciprocity
demands the free coinage of silver; such
modification of the tariff as will give equal pro-
lection to agriculture and manufactures; an
equitable bankrupt law, and liberal pension
laws.
On the question of prohibition the platform
SAYS:
1--WE arraign the party managers in This State
as disloyal TO the principles and unfaithful to
the interests of the Republican party. We
charge that they have put the party in Kansas
out of harmony with the National Republican
party; and thereby absolved us from all obliga-
tions to no longer acknowledge their leader
ship. Lured by seductive wiles of impractical
visionaries, they have committed the party to
extravaganza and follies which, unless promptly
checked. will bankrupt and depopulate the
State These things impel u.s. as the only
method which promises success, to sink party
platforms to State politics for time and unite
with such of our fellow citizens of the State as
share our convictions. without regard to party,
for the purpose of correcting the follies into
which we have been betrayed and thus pre-.
serve the good name and insure the future pros
perity OF the State.
