A Good Platform Adopted With
Enthusiasm.
FULL COUNTY TICKET NAMED
The Work Well and Harmoniousiy
Done--The Ticket Strong

The Clatsop county Republican con-
vention met, pursuant to previous au-
journment from the Sd inst, at the Mo
Kinley club room, and after being called
to order by Chairman w. +. McGregor,
Immediately adjourned to Fishers hall
The committee on order of business
reported the following order of nomina-
tions, which was agreed to, viz:
State senator representative, clerk,
sheriff, treasurer, recorder, county
judge, county commissioner, assessor,
superintendent of schools, surveyor.
The committee on platform then sub
mitted the following declaration of
principles, which was unanimously
adopted, amid much enthusiasm;
First-That while we deplore the in
dustrial and business stagnation that
now exists and since the placing of the
reins of government in the hands of the
Democratic party, has prevailed
throughout the land, bringing distress
and suffering upon our working people,
prostrating our industries, and causing
commercial and business failures and
bankruptcy, to an extent never before
experienced or even approached in the
history of the nation, we feel that we
do but voice the sentiment of the nation
in charging the Democratic party with
the sole responsibility for this unfortun-
ate condition, produced by its avowed
hostility to and untiring assaults upon
that policy of protection to American
labor and American products for which
the Republican party has ever contend
ed, and the adoption of which, during
over thirty years of Republican rule,
developed the resources and stimulated
the Industries Of the nation and blessed
it's laboring, producing and commercial
classes with a prosperity unapproached
in all the history Of the world.
While justifiable pride in the his
tory and achievements OF our party will
ever abide with us, We are actuated by
but one purpose, and that is to secure a
return of that prosperity we have ever
enjoyed in the past under Republican
rule.
We have no unlSind words for those
who have opposed us in the past, but
earnestly believing in the principles and
policies of our party, and that the adop-
ton thereof by the government is the
only means of giving renewed life to our
expiring industries and starting again
in motion the wheels Of trade and COM
merce, giving employment to our labor
ers, a market to our producers and pros
perity to all.
We call upon every citizen, irrespec-
tive of former political associations, to
unite with us for protection, reciprocity
and prosperity.
Second-We indorse the platform
adopted by the Republican state con-
vention of this state at Portland April
II, 1894.
Third-We favor the construction of
good roads and highways throughout
the county, and that they be kept in
such condition that our farmers may
have secure and easy access to our local
markets, to the end that they may sup
ply our people with the products of the
farm that we are now SO largely i'm
porting.
