tons and amendments than possible
We are here TO further the interests of
our party and l presume that most Of the
delegates are western men. The Republi-
can party had its birth in the west, and il
had been fostered by the west. The
thought that actuated the principles Of
Republicanism was distinctively western.
1t IS now our duty TO stand by the party
organized by our fOrefathers This coun-
try is based on the industry of agriculture,
and the agricultural interests and those
of RepubIicanism are one A fattering
tribute was paid to Kansas and its connec-
ton with and influence in the Republican
party If the farmers 90 back on the Re
publican party now they are not entitled
TO any Of the benefits from the party that
was organized in their interests" The
leaders of the party were the most import
ant consideration and the farmers could
never accomplish anything in any party
that was led by a monkey, an ourang out
ang or an ignoramus. A complimentary
reference was also made to Colonel Halo
we'll The speaker was frequently inter
rupted by cheers and his remarks were
greeted with enthusiasm from first to last !
The committee on resolutions was in |
structed to report and Chairman Vermil- |
lion read as follows:
We. the Republicans Of Sedgwick /
county in convention assembled, again re J
new our allegiance to the great party Of 1
progress and human liberty, whose name /
we bear, whose traditions we honor, and 4
whose principles we love; and we recall /
with pride and confidence the fact that T.
the rights of man, has ever been
mindful of the wishes and desires Of the
people and prompt to respond TO every /
demand
We recognize that agriculture IS the
great industry Of Kansas, upon the pros
perity Of which the welfare of all classes
of our people depends, and we insist that
the interests Of the farmers shall be a fore
most consideration in all legislation and
that every demand made by this great and 4
important element OF our people shall re-
ceive the most prompt attention at the
hands Of the state legislature
We believe that the discrimination in
freight rates by railroad corporations de
irving their franchises from the state Of
Kansas. against the people OF this state
and in favor Of communities elsewhere, Is
an evil demanding the Immediate atren-
ton Of our law makers, and the most
prompt and vigorous legislation 10 re-
press IL.
We also insist that at least one member
Of the state board of railroad commission
ers should be a practical farmer and that
sufficient power should be lodged in the
to enable It to enforce prompt
com pIiance with its decisions.
We favor the most liberal pensions for
our veteran soldiers, the free and IN
limited coinage of silver. and as large q
reduction of the tariff a. the necessities
and obligations OF the government VIII
permit without lmpalrIng the principle or
protection TO American labor. and We in
struCU our senator and representatives TO
vote for no man for United states senator
who Is not sound upon every one Of these
propositions.
We congratulate our fellow citizens
upon the fact that in recent contest in con-
greSs over the question Of free coinage of
silver the delegation from Kansas stood
ike a solid rock for free coinage and the
known wishes OF there constituents, and
we note with pride that the leader Of the
friends Of free coinage in the senate was a
Kansas Republican: while we also note
the fact that the most prominent and in
veterate enemy Of free coinage in America
is the leader and patron saint Of Democracy
Grover Cleveland
We favor the resuDmisSiOn OF the pro
lib.tory amendment 10 q vote Of the peo-
pie: and. while we recognize an
Republicans as TO the wisdom
and efficiency Of prohibition as
4 temperance measure, we believe that
upon the right Of the people 70 vote upon
20 vital an issue, no true Republican can
entertain an honest doubt, and urge upon
coming legislature its submission 10 the
people st the earliest practicable date.
And we instruct our delegates 70 the next
state convention Al Topeka 10 labor 70 Sc
cure reSubmI>sIon plank IN the Repub-
lean state platform. aud We also instruct
our senator's and representatives from this
county u vote for and support a resolution
10 submit the prohibi5ory amendment TO
1 vote OF the yeople.
We favor a most liberal representation

resources at the worlds fair 70 De held n
So, and we urge upon the legislature 70
,nact without delay, broad and compre-
lensive legislation looking 10 thls end
