with evident interest
Governor Mckinley, after accepting the
nomination, reviewed the work Of his ad.
ministration and the State issues md said;
The National Democratic Administra.
ton has done nothing thus far. except TO
create in the minds OF business men deep
distrust. The financial situation which for
the most part has prevailed since the 9Th OF
March has not been improved. nor h 3 ihe
financial stringency been relieved by any.
thing the National administration has said
or done. The ei0O. 00o, 900 OF gold reserve

The Democratic victory Of 1892 has no,
been able to bring the better times prol Is
ed. IL has not been able to maintain the
good times which were enjoyed everywhere
In this country on the day of the victory
Business failures have increased, banks
have suspended. money Is harder to borrow.
and borrowers are compelled to pay higher
interest for their loans than for many. many
years. Feverish uncertainty prevails In
every financial and business circle.
Notice has gone forth that not only Is the
turin to be revised, but that the pension list
Is 10 be revised. War Is TO be waged upon
the pensioners OF the country. No homes,
man will object to a purging of this roll OF
all who are unworthy there. Every case
must rest OH its own facts. do not oh
iect to unworthy men being taken from II
as such-but do object 10 the impression
the pension business Is fraud. No outlay
Of the Government Is more worthily be.
slowed or more widely distributed than the
money that goes to the soldiers Of the coun.
try In the form of pensions II should be
remem bered that pensions are better than
standing armies.
This is the time for all good citizens to
help inspire faith In the future aud dispel
fear and apprehension now so prevalent in
business and financial circles"
The platform adopted indorses the prin
ciples OF the Minneapolis convention, the
administrations OF President Harrison and
Governor Mckinley, favors biennial ses

I'VE favor the policy Of full and adequate
protection to American lator industries
The best exemplfcation OF tn, reciprocity
that has found expr ssion In the statutes Is
the Mckinley act. We cordially declare our
adhesion to the doctrines of that great
measure, and favor such amendments there
to for protection as time and experience
may show TO be advisable.
I'VE adhere to the Republican policy OF
granting pensions TO the wounded and dis

ministration in dealing with the tinancia
situation meets our condemnation.
