The Republican League Of Kansas once
more declares its allegiance to the cardi-
nal principles Of the Republican party,
and it especially indorses those great eco
nomic principles Of protection, reciprocity
and honest money to the support
Of all which it pledges its most
effective organization and its most
vigorous efforts. We commend the
Of President Harrison for
its steady adherence to these principles
and for its manly and patriotic mainten-
ance o! the honor and best interests Of
the nation. We renew our hearty tribute
Of confidence in and admiration and sffec-
ton for that matchless champion Of Re-
publican principles, James G. Blaine.
Since the last meeting Of our league the
great ''Commoner of Kansas" Senator
Preston B. Plumb. has been called from
this life; therefore be it resolved, that by
his death there has been lost to the Re-
publican party and to the people OF the
state leader Of men and champion Of
right, whose memory will be forever cher
shed in the hearts Of all true Kansars.
