Tho call for tho convention and tho

following is synopsis, IVES read by Sec
retary Humphreys:
"Dazzlcd by tho glittoring promises
Of Democracy, and led astray by sophis.
try and hypocrisy, the voters Of tho
country in 1892 decided upon change
: in national administration. Democratic
control and sectional rule are now com.
plo,e in tho national government and
starvation for labor and ruin for capital
prevail as result Of the policies and in
tluences that dominate tho Democratic
party. The hallucinations OF 1892 arc
over. Facts havo upset theories. The
people, weary OF this tarih.tinkorlng,
bond-isauing, debt.inc-easing, treasury
deplctins, business-paralyzing, wage
reducing, qucen.restoring and un-Amer-
ican administration, now turn instinct
lively for relief to tho party that Eaved
tho nation in her previous hour Of peril
and demonstrated mastery ability In
giving tho United States thirty years OF
prosperity unparalleled in the history
OF nations.
"Acain it becomes the mission and
duty OF the Grand Old Party to meet
national emergency with the highest
uatriotism. The party deploros the
necessity. but nrises to tho occasion.
The struggle for liberty, progress, fair
wages and all that America promise0,
did not end with the defeat OF 1892. Tho
fight rust and will 80 On. We bcliove
that the humane, ipduatrial ard pro-
cresaive American policy OF tho Repub-
lican party is best for tao protection OF
liio, liberty and pursuit OF happiness
for the American people. We believe
in honest elections as the bulwark OF
our institutions, and the right Of cverty
voter to cast one vote and have 1t iair!y
counted.
PROTECTION.
"We belevt in the dignity Of labor
mud tho faithful maintenance OF tho
difference between American and
European wages. We believe in tho
established policy Of protection to
American industry and TO American
workinamen, aud in tho Republican
policy OF reciprocity.
"We believe IN the fulloat protection
OF property aud oll fortns OF inrestod
interests and yet afc opposed 10 coTpo-
ration rule In the government ot the
United States or oi any state We
gratefully remember the Union soldier
in his hour OF nced, as well as IN tho
day OF his sacrifice and aervico. We DC.
licvo IN sound money and tho use OF
both gold and silver rs standard money
and tha. the purchasing and debt pay
ing power OF tho dollar whether OF gold,
silver or paper, shall at all times be
equal as plodgrd In the national Repub-
lican platform at Minneapolis
"Wc believe III practical civil service
reiorm, such aa will separate the spoiis
idea from politics and yet prcsesve the
people in control OF all public Offices aud
MI pubilc affairs. Wo believe In liberal
and broad-minded politics and in tho
insertion Of American idoas in all Amer
iCan affairs" -, ~,
