We. the represent atives of the Republi-

principles Of the platform OF the national
Republican party adopted by the last ma
tional Republican convention.
We view with deep concern and sym
pathy the unfortunate condition or the
industrial classes of our common country,
and denounce as unpatriotic, thoss
specious economic theories OF the Demo
cratic party, by which great numbers
of our fellow citizens were led in the
presidential election OF 1892 to
overturn one Of the most successful ad-
ninistrations in the history OF our coun-
try, changing peace, happiness and pros
perity into financial disaster, ruin and
distress.
AS citizens OF Rhode Island, believing
that the safety OF this state rests in re-
spect for the constitution, and deprecat-
ing revolution against we'll ordered con-
stutional government we view with alarm
and denounce as unconstitutional aud ut
terly indefensible. the attack made
by the Democratic majority In the
house of representatives in the general
assembly, at the May session, A ID. 1898,
upon, and the unseating OF, constitution
ally accredited members thereof, and we
commend to the careful consideration OF
all law abiding and liberty loving citi-
zens of Rhode Island, the courageous
patriotic, constitutional action OF his excel
lency, the governor, and the Republican
members of the general ASSEMBLY,,
both of the senate and house, which met
and defeated Democratic usurpation. aud,
