The Re-submission Convention was
attended by some 300 delegates who,
after listening to some infammatory
speeches, adopted a platform as fol-
lows:
First, reviews the pledge of IN
wavering loyalty to the principles Of
the national Republican party; sec
Ond, fayOrs reciprocity as advocated
by Secretary Blaine and President
Harrison third, demands free coinage
of silver and such increase in the vol
ulue of currency as will meet the de-
mands of trade and prevent depres-
sion IA the value of farm products
and labor; fourth, demands such
modification Of the tariff laws as will
give equal protection to agriculture
and manufactures; fifth, fayOrs the
broad craftsmanship which rises above
sectional interests and recognizes the
equality of the entire sisterhOod of
states; sixth. favors an equitable
bankrupt law; seventh and eighth,
urges liberal appropriations for a
deep-water harbOr on the gulf of
Mexico and for irrigation Of Western
Hand; ninth, demands liberal pension
laws.
Tenth-Arraigns the party man
ayers for being unfaithful to the par
/ ty, and putting it out Of harmony
with the national Republican party,
and lured by the seduction Wiles of
impractical Missionaries has committed
! the party to fOllies which unless
promptly checked will bankrupt and
| depOpulate the State.
] TWelfth-We believe that too much
/ LEGISLATION is a curse and are IN favor
of a complete revision of the Kansas
! statutes with a view to the correction
! Of those laws which are imperfect and
/ the elimination of all such as are su-
perfuous or not generally enforced:
] thirteeth, demands economical admin
/ istratIOn of the states business that
| taxation be lightened; fourteenth, de
mands the adjustment Of the Offices
/ of election commissioners, assistant
| attorney general police commission
/ ers, county auditory and jury com
missioner and a reduction Of fees gen
orally; fifteenth, are opposed to pro
| hlbitiOn as ten years trial has demon
strated its ineficiency as a temper
ance measure.
ixteenth-We are IN favor Of strict
laws for the regulation OF the liquor
traffic and we favor high license and
local option with such restrictions anC
! regulations as shall protect our homes
and guard our youths from the dan
ger now surrounding them.
Seventeen, faYOrs enactment OF such
laws as will secure labor its just re-
ward in competition with capital; the
| eighteen denOUnces the laws relative
to the sale Of lands for delinquent
! taxes as oppressive and demands the
reduction by One-half Of the rates Of
interest allowed on tax certificates
/ nineteenth, reserving his convictions
upon other questions, every true cibI
zen without regard to party can loyal
/ ly and consistently Join with US IL
the accomplishment of these objects
! Relying upon the business of Oul
t cause, we invite the cooperation OF
liberal minded men throughout thu
state and with 1t the success of tht
cause of the people will be assured
and new era Of prosperity WI
dawn upon the state.
The nomination of a state ticke
was merely a matter of form, tn,
nominees being the same as thos
named in the democratic convention
