done to recommend it to the grateful
consideration of Republicans? We
will not deny that il is most fertile in
promises, butts it not notoriously barren
infulfillment? Search the record of its
achievement, and after traversing the
dreary waste and remarking the signal
disasters which are the sole ornaments
of the melancholy view, reconcile, if you
can, support of the Democratic party
with the welfare of the nation.
"We extend encouragement and sup
sort to the loyal men who have in the
face of what seemed to be SverWhelm-
ing opposition taken a determined
stand for the rights of the citizens and
the upholding Of the Republican party
organization; and we feel that this
is proper occasion upon which to ex-
press our approval of the honorable,
courageous and truly representative
course pursued by Senator George L.
ShOup, Our emphatic endorsement is
also extended to the loyal members OF
the State Central Committee, and in
this connection as a further expression
of our approval, we earnestly recon-
mend that. the State Republican Con.
yention continue John I. Morrison, OF
this county, member Of said Commit,
tee; and, were it proper, would ask the
same prefermant for the other commit

their intense loyalty and patriotism.
"We endorse the honest, bnsinesslike
and economical management of state af-

ave regard the Republican National
Platform, adopted at st. Louis, as a
clear and correct exposition of Repub

declarations, and pledge cur loyal sup

1--WE believe that the interests of gov
eminent are best subserved by party
action, and we accord to every either
the right to exercise his choice in de
termining his party alignment. We
call upon all those who honor the mag.
nillcent achievements and believe il
the splendid principles of the Republi

and vote in attaining its success ant
extending its influence for good gov
eminent. We again deprecate the an

of former honOred and respected lead
ers to depart from the lines of party
fealty and follow after strange gods
advocates of false theories and cham
pions of error. When they shall dis
cover their mistake, become sick ant
disappointed at futile efforts to fine
sOlace in the sWamps of falsehOod ant
deception, let them turn once again t.
the life giving light that glOws at tn
head of the Republican column, march
ing on with firm tread and steady cours
upon the solid ground of National in
tegrity and political honor, its banner
aglow with promises Of employment
for the idle, relief for the distressed
and profitable returns for legitimat
enterprise"
