| The republican state league OF Kansas. in
eighth annual convention assembled. congratu
!
restored this commonwealth TO the control OF
the party which has always conducted its
affairs with wisdom, prudence and honesty, and
redeemed it from the unpatriotic principles and
| the vicious and dishonest practices of populism.
| The history OF the past two years, showing a
record Of financial disasters and business de-
pressions almost without a parallel in the ex-
perience of our country. has demonstrated be-
| yond the need OF any argument the utter in
competency OF the democratic party to admin
/ lister the affairs OF this nation. We denounce
and condemn the wicked tariff tinkerings which
/ have lost US the advantages which a wise re-
| publican policy had gained for US in the mar
kets OF the world. and which demoralized our
manufacturing and robbed our labOrers Of mil
lions OF dollars thereby restricting the markets
of our farmers and directly depressing the
prices of farm products. We condemn the we *
| and facilitating foreign policy which has dis
| credited us in the eyes of other nations, has
sacrificed our domestic interests and has
wounded our national pride. We condemn the
/ ungenerous. unjust and hostile treatment Of
| the veteran defenders OF the union And above
all. we condemn the vicious and un-American
| financial policy which is in direct opposition
| to the deliberate judgment OF the American
| people. and which has brought upon us indi-
vidual distress and national disaster.
1t is not the province OF this league TO formu-
| late platforms or outline policies, and we do
| licans of Kansas; but. as members OF the rank
and file of the party, we do not hesitate to an
| nounce il as our conviction that the restoration
of the republican party to power will bring
with it a return to a tariff policy which will
bring back the commercial prosperity which
the wise measure of the Fifty-first congress
inaugurated that IL will bring a return to
patriotic and vigorous foreign policy
which will again make our flag be admired
and respected in every port on the globe: that
It will guarantee in the future as it always
has in the past. the most ample justice to the
brave men who offered their lives that the
union might be preserved. and that 1t will
bring back monetary policy and a coinage
system which will Immediately add to our cur
rency the product of our American mines, and
restore silver to fits old place as Of the money
metals, thus placing the finances Of our coun-
try upon a basis which will bring confidence
and prosperity to all our people.
We condemn in the most unsparing terms
the recent orders of Secretary Morton to throw
open the American market to tho diseased and
inferior cattle of Mexico. thus placing in
jeopardy the vital interests of tn. American
farmer.
We extend our warmest greetings to the
Kansas WOman's republican association now
assembled in convention in this city. and ex-
press our sincere appreciation OF their enthusi-
astic anu Jealous assistance in carrying for
ward the work of the republican party.
