] gressional convention, which for a sec
ond time placed James A. TaWney of
! Winona in nomination for congress.
| The attendarce was not confined to
| delegates, but included many visitors.
most of whom came on excursion trains,
| over the Northwestern and Southwest
ern roads. The fact that so many
noted Republican leaders Of the state
were to be present was a potent in
| iuence III drawing the crowd.
The convention was called to order
soon after 1 o'clock by j. M. Diment
l
sinnal committee But short time was

then permanent Organiza ton, after.

The Platform.
The Republicans Of the First Congress
| sional district of Minnesota, in convention
assembled, re-affrm the declarations of the
National Republican platform adopted at
Minneapolis. and after witnessing the dis
| astrous effects of Democratic ascendency
| with it's threats of free trade and attempts
at tariff legislation, we are more than ever
We denounce the Democratic policy Of
tree trade, along with the claim Of the
any market without let or hindrance" as
| selfish and unpatriotic. We declare the
| long threatened revolution In the Industrial
policy Of the government and the complete
destruction of Republican tariff laws coupled
! with the legislative and executive power Of
the ne Democratic 4 40 .p party to accomplish the
depression and destruction of values, and
we deplore the fact that these conditions
haze been t;n aggravated by the Inability of the
t1Ity-thlrd congress to deal with such grave
problems according to any principle Of
economies, save one based on sectionalism,
fayoritism and monopolistic influence. We
regret that while under Democratic rule the
fl !;I nave been growing, poor and the poor
still poorer The people are inflicted with
| tarlH law which has been characterized by
the highest Democratic. authority as the
"abandonment Of principle" and as the
embodiment of .sparty perfdy and party
daishonor:" tariff law which shows clearly
the imprint OF the cloven hoof of the sugar
trust; which gives ample protection to the
Soutnern planter but reduces the duties on

We denounce the Democratic party for
the policy under which, after threatening
and abusing American industries for years
