M. Flower, of Chicago; S. A. Bullard,

in nomination yesterday by the repub-

The platform reaffirmed the ad-
herence Of the party in the state to the
principles of civil and religious liberty
upon which the government was
founded, and then proceeded:
"We earnestly maintain the right ard
justice of the American doctrine ofpro-
lection to American industries. We
believe that articles that cannot be sue
cessfully produced in this country, ex-
cept luxuries, should be placed upon
the free list. We believe that the i'm
portation of so-called raw material
free of duty, is an interference with the
system of protection to American labor
and should be permitted only when the
raw material is unobtainable in our
own country.
1--WE denounce as unwise and un-
American the provisions of the so-called
Wilson tariff bill, modified 1.-the SEN
ate by the injection of weak and in
consistent attempts to protect special
interests las now pending in congress),
and we charge the democratic party
with the sole responsibility for the eff
fort to destroy our tariff system, a sys-
TEN which has proven the greatest boon
to the great mass of American citizens,
and we further declare that the un-
natural conditions now existing in this
nation between capital and labor.
which have led to lawlessness, blood
shed, the interruption of business and
brought misfortune to all, are the
natural results of the false economic
theories, vacillating policy and hope
less incompetency of the democratic
party.
"We arraign the present democratic
governor of Illinois as the most con-
spicuous case of misft in high official
life.
From the day on which he began tc
debase the penal, reformatory, char
table institutions and the public parks
of the state into infrmaries and asy'
lums for politicians to the present time
he has shown such wonderful aptitude
for doing the wrong thing at all times
that the people of the state, irrespect
i've of party, await with undisguised
impatience the expiration of his tern
