nanciaI existence from Kansas trade and
commerce, owe 10 the people OF Kansas,
fair, equitable and honest treatment In
the matter of frei ht rates; and we are
opposed to the inequltable and oppressive
discrimination in the adjustment OF such
rates by said corporations, whereby the
merchants, shippers and consumers OF
other states are enriched at the expense
and to the injury of the people OF Kan
sas, and we demand OF the next legisla-
ture the utmost diligence in enacting ap-
propriAte Legislation, providing, there
fore, to the end that the agricultural,
mercantile and other interests of Kansas
shall be placed on footing of equality,
so far as freight rates are concerned, with
the like interests In adjoining states.
We also demand of congress such
amendments of the interstate commerce
law as will give the people OF Kansas
and the west the benefits that would &C.
crue to them from their location and will
prevent the railroads of the country from
rendering Valueless the vast sums Of
money expended in improving and deep
ening the harbors of the southwest, by
charging the people Of Kansas practi-
tically the same freight tariffs from the
Gulf of Mexico, q distance of 700 miles,
that they do from New York, a distance
Of 1900 miles.
To this general statement of the prin-
ciples of our party we invite the candid
consideration of the voters Of Kansas.

Platform of the Republicans Of Kansas
of 1890.
The Republicans Of the state Of Kan
sas now assembled N convention COM
posed of more than 500 delegates, each
county being represented by duly ac-
credited members, declare their continued
adherence TO the cardinal principles Of
the national Republican party; express
their admiration and gratitude for its
past services, and record their conviction
that in It's future administration of pub
lie affairs it will quickly respond to every
demand Of the people, and guided by the
light of experience its legislation will be
dedicated by thoughtful regard for the
best interests Of the whole people of this
nation. The Republican party was born
Of a great public necessity. 1t COM
menced It's glorious legislative career by
the passage Of the homestead act, the
most beneficial law in Its results ever
enacted by the American congress. 1t
maintained national supremacy, and pre-
served national unity against armed re-
belllon at home and threatened inter
ference from abroad, throughout four
years of the most colossal warfare re-
corded in history. By It's guiding ener-
gies gigantic rebellion was pressed,
and lndestructible union of states per-
petuated, and supremacy Of the union
over the states composing 1t forever es-
tablished.
Through It's efforts slavery went down
In the ruins Of the southern Confsderacy;
q slave race was emancipated and guar
Rnteed all the rights Of American citizen
ship. It embodied the political truths
enumerated In the declaration of lnde-
pendence, in constitutional provisions
and congressional enactments. It has
extended our national domain by the ac-
QUESTION Of Alaska, and has added to the
Union the magnificent states of Kansas,
West Virginia, Nevada, Nebraska, Colo
rado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wash
lngton, Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.
It has maintained the public credit in
peace and war; has largely decreased the
enormous public debt created by the
war, and protected the issue Of green
backs from judicial repCdlatlon. 1t has
protected our infant industries; assisted
material development, and improved the
public service.

Our people are now in the vale of sorrow,

| return. 1t was even stated in the NEWS AND
| CITIZEN that he would undoubtedly be re-
| turned All this combined with the work he
| has accomplished, and the place he has So
| cured in the esteem and affections of all creeds
and classes of people, renders the change u
| bereavement to us. Long shall we miss his
genial presence, his kind, CHEEKY greeting, his
warm hand clasp. In every relation, whether
| of pastor, preacher, man or brother, how
| can spare him? Let us hope all is for the
| best, that "All things shall work together
! for good to them that love God" Let us
| seek counsel in our sorrow and loss from the
source of all strength and wisdom. Perhaps
| this disappointment is intended to draw us
nearer to the Infinite Father; to find His
| grace sufficient for us, whoever may be sent
| to declare that grace and speak the word of
! Life to us. We write these words with a full
| heart and full eyes. One thing is assured
| Wherever Bro Douglass goes, the earnest
| prayers and heartiest good wishes of his
| people follow him. And that his work in
! his new field may be as fruitful for good as
| work here, is the best one can wish to the peO-
| pie of Waitsfeld and Fayston. Now let
ing upon Mr.. Douglass successor. He i'm
| presses us as man of thought and culture :;
OF kind heart and genial manner. And we
| sincerely hope that he may succeed in per-
| forming as much good work and securing as
| large a place in the hearts of the people as
| did his predecessor.
