ihe REPUBLICAN party will never consent to

country 70 enter the race that is going on among
tne nations OF the earth to reduce wages to the
s'ar'at'on point. 1t demands protection for
american labor and its products against the
competition OF foreign labor in foreign lands
tGreat cheerngl
The Republican party is in favor of honest
money All the dollars issued by this govern
ment must be OF equal value, must be full dol
iars-dollars that will pass as such any - here in
the word. The Republican party will never
consent that the laboFer shalt be paid for his

on helds OF blood and in hospitals of pain shall

appIause.l
The Republican party recognising the pro-
auction OF silver as one of our greatest indus
tries has inaugurated policy which must re-
suit In forcing the world to accept bi-metalis SIN
as the true financial theory.
We favor an honest ballot. This is not a
question OF races nor of race SUPREMACY
1t is question Of the rights OF man On
this great principle the Republican party had
Its origin, achieved its first victory and estab-
lished its claim to immortality. (Cheers.] Shall
the right of any American citizen TO cast a
legal ballot be denied? To the firm and final
establishment of this great principle of liberty
our party is forever comrnitted-it has sounded
forth its bugle notes that shall never call re-
treat
For the first time in the memory of any living
man the foreign policy of our government has
been administered so as to cause every Ameri-
can to look with pride upon the flag of his couu-
try, and its prestige and power to be recognized
in every land and upon every sea. We go then
into the contest, fellow Republicans, armed for
victory. The record of the admins
tration is without stain. Presi-
dent Harrison has entitled himself
to the loyal support OF every Republican and
the loyal admiration of every American.
ICheers.l Nothing remains to be dorso by the
Republicans of the state of Washington TO in
sure an overwhelming victory in November but
to constitute a state ticket which for integrity
and worth shall be worthy to be written upon
our ballots under the names of our national
candidates. When this has been done the state
of Washington viii maintain her position in the
ranks of the Republican states loud cheer
