TO Brother Hudson.

On the Bird and 4lh days Of Sep
tember, 1890, the republicans Of Kan
sas, held their state convention at
Topeka, and j, X. Hudson was ap-
pointed chairman of the committee
on resolutions That committee Of 1
member from each Judicial district IN
Kansas; Geo. u. Anthony, H. M.
Easley, @. r. Mitchell, w. A. Reeder,
+. b. DAVIS, X. e. Wilcockson, z. O.
Bond, and j. G. Rankin we're the
members Of that committee, and IN
the resolutions reported by the com
mitete, was the following: The
practical operations of silver act now
in force, recently passed by repub-
llcan majority and opposed by a dem.
ocratic minority IN both houses of
congress, is rapidly increasing the
value Of silver, il a good step in the
right direction. But we the republi-
cans Of Kansas, demand free coinage
Of silver, a measure strongly opposed
and denounced by the late democratic
administration, led by ex-President
Grover Cleveland.
We favor such other legislation as
may be necessary to insure an in
crease of the volume of the currency,
adequate to the growing demands of
our trade. The volume OF such cur
rency to be regulated by the neces-
stiles of business,
Geo. T. Anthony speaking for the
committee IN support of the resolu-
tions, and opposing any amendment,
saidI your committee of thirty-fve |
met together last evening, with the |
determination that we would make a
declaration Of principles for the re-
publican party, that we would stand J
upon But before commencing our
work we agreed and understood in
in that committee room, sir, that we
would be agreed upon the platform, |
if we sat for thres weeks, and that |
the report to you would repre- |
sent our united judgment" and r.. W. |
Blue of Linn Co., said now Mr.. Chair
man, that may have a clear and dis
tinct understanding of the important |
resolutions, | ask for the reading of |
the resolution in relation to protec-
ton, and In relation to the free coin
age Of silver" The resolutions were
then read by the secretary. r. W.
Blue, then SAID, | state to you frankly, |
that for one, L believe it to be the part |
of wisdom to adopt the report Of the
committee without further change. |
say to you now, as a republican, that
the party can go to the state without
fear".
The resolutions were then adopted
without change, and without opposi-
ton. This is q portion of the record
of the republican party Of Kansas,
and Major Hudson, helped materially
in so making it and shaping it. A
vast majority of the republicans of
Kansas still believe the republican
party was right at that time, and that
the Topeka Capital is wrong at this
time. 1t is now engaged to the au /
ible enterprise of eulogizing the am
Grover Cleveland, and is single ia l.
dard money message to congress.
Now then the republicans of tmi b
county do not change their C, nvi,-
tions, like shuttle cock; we belleve
that platform was right then, and 80
advocated the same; and we still be-
lleve it is right, and propose to still
advocate it, without any change. Its
barely possible that the Capital has
the right to fix up our platform every
year, and then compel uA to take the
dose, but if they do, be consistent
with yourself as we'll as the republ-
cans OF the state, Lebanon Criterion.
