The logic Of the situation demanded the
nomination Of Mr.. Wilson. He has dur
ng his brief service Demonstrated his ca

~ many interests Of this new stats with :
IsyotiOn which iew men give even to tbsir

ative Of great stats, Of . state Just en-
bring into the Union and adjusting itself
b it, new relations and duties, Mr.. Wilson
has been sorely burdensd. But he has
sot shiSksd nor faitsred. and
hough often worked beyond bis
strength, he has stayed manfuIly
u his post Of duty. No man

But is 10 NOT alone the efficiency Of his

hIly recognised BY the CONVENTION, and IL

makes platform upon which every true
Republican and every sincere well-wisher
X this state may stand with pride and con-
Msnes. Il approves the administrations
4 President Harrison and Governor
Ferry; It approves the modified
hri6 measure; it approves the
Jules which nullify minority obstructive
hctics and prevent the transaction Of pub
h buslness; II favors Mr.. Blaine's reci-
procity proposition; It II emphatic In Its
approval Of the bill TO protect voters in the
Douth and elsewhere In their rights; it de-
lounces the " Pinkerton system; it f.
pofs liberal pension policy; II demands
avs for the protection Of labor in its
lights; II opposes trusts: II demands lib

letails. The platform speaks for itself.
Every Republican Of the state should read

seighbor.
The selection Of Mr.. e. 7. Wilson, OF
Eilensburgh, a. chairman OF the state GEN.
raj committee was happy outcome Of q
dtuation which promised ct one time to
make unpleasant feeling between the
shampions OF opposing senatorial can
iidates. II was better. far better.

senator Squire or with Judge Cabins. It
the business of the state committee to
light the battle Of the party, leaving ques-
ions of rivalry within the party to be set
led later on.
