Of the Republican party as enuuciated in
the last national and state platforms.

state, congressional and county tickets

made, the sterling qualities and peculiar
fitness Of our several candidates entitle
them to the active support Of every citi-
zen who is in favor of good, honest local
government and intelligent representation

We arraign and condemn the Cleveland
administration for its self.confessed record
of infamy, perfidy and dshonor which in
eighteen months has plunged the country
from height of prosperity which was the
admiration Of the world into the depths OF
the greatest financial depression Of oul
| time.
| We endorse the official acts Of the Hon.
Frank 4. Oksll, the representative Of this
district in the legislature, and point with
pride to the admirable record which he
made during his short public career, which

ability to the satisfaction of the district

port to the candidate this day nominated,
believing that the best interests Of the dis.
trict will be subserved by his election.

times which presage the election by al
overwhelming majority Of every Rspubli-
can candidate from governor down to jury
