We rejoice in the restoration of dignity, ,vigor
and statesmanship In tho conduct Of our for
eign affairs, under tho guiding hand Of Amer
ica's favorite son, James O. Blaine we ap-
prove of the silver coinage act Of the present
administration, by which the entiro product
Of tho silver mines Of the United States is
added TO the currency Of the people, but We
denounco tho Democratic doctrine of the fres
and unlimited coinage Of silver as a financial
policy able TO precip,tate tho people Of every
oity and every state In tho Union In pro-
ionged and disastrous depression. and delay
the revival OF business enterprise and prosper
ity 30 ardently desired and now apparently
near; we are in favor Of having every dollar as
good as any other dollar; we demand the main
tenance Of tho American system of protection
TO American industry and labor; we also COM
mend apd indorse that policy Of reciprocity by
which tho Central and South American nd
tions, anA tho Spanish Indies are being opened
up TO our trade on favorable terms. and by
which all the surplus products of our country
may find a market, and By which all our peo-
pie shall receive In exchange therefor long
line of products which do not produce ruinous
competition among our own people, nor de-
stroy tho developing industries of our country.
We are heartily In favor of general pro-.
vision OF the Interstate commerce act, and
wo demand the regulation Of all railway and
transportation lines In such manner as TO In
surefaff and reasonable rates 20 the producers
and consumers Of the country; we favor such
legislation as VIII prevent all illegal combina-
tions and unjust efactions By aggregated cap
ital and corporate powers; we insist upon the
suppression Of all trusts combines and
schemes designed TO artifcially increase the
price Of life; we regard the Worlds Columbian
exposition as an important event in tho
worlds history. and we arc In hearty sympa.
thy with every effort 10 mako II success.
We take pride In the record Of this state: we
realize that It's growth and power, its pros
perity and good name have been the fruits OF
ite industrial peoples and We believe In such
policies, state and national. as will promote
Justice and wider opportunities among these
classes. We denounce the Grand Island plat
form Of tho Democratic party as framed with
tho double purpose 20 mislead and deceive,
wherein sympathy u expressed where none is
felt; wherein help is proposed where none is
Intended; wherein purposes arc avowed which
are not entertained.
We denouncc the Democratic party for fits
insinuations against the integrity OF the su-
preme court Of the state, ae an effort 20 make
the Judicial power subordinate to political
parties. and ns disgraceful to politicalbrganiz-
stions; we deDounce the Democratic party
for lite double dealing with the civil and po-
htical rights OF the people, wherein IL appears
20 favor FREQ and untrammelled elections In
the state Of Nebraska but never raises its voice
against tho political outragcs practicod against
tho Republicans throughout the Democratic
states OF the south; we arragn the Democratic
party as the enemy Of labor, ,scheming TO break
down the defense Of protective laws, a party
controlled By aristocracy and reactionary
tendencies, the legacy Of slavery. Tho Repub-
ucan party OF Nebraska appeals TO tho intelli-
gcnce and to the integrity Of the people of this
state, and from all other good citizens we In
