in the order named. The temporary officers
were made permanent. The report of the

ceived with cheers. The platform, which
WAs adopted unanimously, was as follows:
Resolved, That as republicans of the CITY
OF Helena, in convention assembled we
recognize that, first of all. We are members
of national party to which is entrusted in
a special degree the guardianship of the
highest interests and welfare of the great
est republic, with its immense and limit

institutions and the hope and inspiration
of liborty throughout the world
Resolved, That rs the politics of the
democratic party are unfolded by it's ma
jority in the national house of representa-
tives, we find new reasons for dr0adiup the
of its supremacy. In CON
fession of its inability to project scheme
of legislation that shall deal Systematically
with the subject of duties on imports, it
with cowardly imbecility to at
tack by piecemeal the existing law. which
and embodies beyond any other
thar ever graced the statute books of the
anion the great saving and stim-
alatlng principle OF protection to
American labor. In so doing Is hax
