Inside the Mckinley home whose
charm IS its refreshing simplicity,
crowded upon the stairways, sitting
and standing i'm the various parlors
were Major McKinley's most intimate
friends. Many shed tears Of Joy when
the news was received that Mr.. NC
Kinley's nomination had been maze
unanimous.
Among those present were Mrs. VIM.
Mckinley, Sr., the Governors mother,
Miss Helen Mckinley, Miss Grace Nc
Kinley. Mrs. Myron T. Herrick, OF
Cleveland. Mrs. H. o. S. Heist, and Mrs
John n. Taylor, Miss Eva Philips,

Within a few moments of the an

hour they were numbered by hundreds,
coming from all parts of America. One
of the first to be received was from the
Marquette Club, Of Chicago.

States have regarded with sympathy
the struggles of other American people
to free thmselves from European DOM
ination. We watch with deep and
abiding interest the heroic battle OF the
Cuban patriots against cruelty and OPP
preston and our best hopes go out for
the full success to their determined con-
test for liberty.
The government of Spain, having lost
control of Cuba and being unable to
protect the property or lives Of resident
American citizens, or to comply with its
treaty obligations, we believe that the
government of the United States should
actually use its influence and good
offices to restore peace and give indie
pendence TO the island.
THE NAVY.
The peace and security of the Repub-
lie and the maintenance of its rightful
influence among the nations of the earth
demand a naval power commensurate
wi,4 its position and responsibility.
We. therefore, favor the continued en-
largement of the navy and complete
system of harbor and coast defenses.
FOREIGN IMMIGRATION
For the protection of the quality of
our American citizenship and of the
wages of our workingmen against the
fata! competition of low priced labor we
demand that the immigration laws be
thoroughly enforced, and so extended
as to exclude from entrance to the
limited States those who can neither
read nor write.
CIVIL SERVICE.
The civil service law was placed oa
the statute book by the Republican
marty which has always sustained it
and we renew our repeated decorations
that it shall be thoroughly and honest
" enforced and extended wherever prac-
ticable.
FREE BALLOT.
We demand that every citizen of the
United States shall be allowed to cast
one free and unrestricted ballot and
that such ballot shall be counted and
returned as cast.
LYNCHINGS.
we proclaim our unqualified condem-
nation of the uncivilized and barbarous
practice. we'll known as lynching, or
killing of human beings, suspected or
charged with crime, without process Of
law.
NATIONAL ARBITRATION.
We favor the creation of national
board of arbitration to settle and adjust
differences which may arise between
employer and employe engaged in inter-
State commerce.
HOMESTEADS.
We believe in an immediate return
to the free homestead policy of the Re-
publican party; and urge the passage
by Congress of the satisfactory free

trv. We are therefore opposed 70 the
free coinage of silver except by interna-
tional agreement with the leading COM
mercial nations Of the world, which WE
hedge ourselves to promote, and untll
such agreement can be obtained the ex-
isifng cold standard must be preserved.
All our silver and paper currency must

and we favor all measures designed TO
maintain inviolable the obligations OF
the United Stairs and all our money.
whether coin or paper, at the present
standard. the standard Of the most en-
lightened nations of the earth.
PENSIONS.
The veterans of the Union army de-
serve and should receive fair treatment
and generous recognition. whenever
practicable they should be given the
preference in the matter of employment,
and they are entitled to the enactment
of such laws as are best calculated to
secure the fulfilment of the pledges
made to them in the dark days OF rhe
country's peril. We denounce the prac-
tice i'm the pension bureau, so reckless
" and unjustly carried on by the pres
ent administration of reducing pensions
and arbitrarily dropping names from
the rolls as deserving The severest con-
demnation of the American people.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Our foreign policy should be at all
times firm. vigorous and dignified and
all our relations in the western hemis-
phere carefully watched and guarded.
The Hawaiin Islands should be con-
trolled by the United States, and no for
eign power should be permitted to in
terfere with them: the Nicaraguan Ca
nal should be built. owned and operated
by the United States, and by the pur-
chase of the Danish Islands we should
secure a proper and much needed naval
station in the West Indies.
ARMENIAN MASSACRES.
The massacres in Armenia have
aroused the deep sympathy and just in
dignaticn OF the American people and
we believe that the United States should
exercise all the influence it can properly
exert 10 bring these atrocities 10 an end.
In Turkey American residents have
been exposed TO the gravest dangers,
and american property destroyed.
There and everywhere American citi-
zens and American property must be
absolutely protected at all hazards and
at any cost.
MONROE DOCTRINE.
We assert the Monroe doctrine in its
full extent. and we reaffirm the right
OF the United States to give the doc
trine effect by responding to the appeals
of any American States for friendly in
tervention in case OF European en-
crcachment. We have not interfered
and shall not interfere with the exist
ing possessions of any European power

Ultimate efforts to lesson and prevent
the wide evils of intemperance and pro-
mote morality.
RIGHTS OF WOMEN.
The Republican, party is mindful Of
the rights and interests of women. Pro-
lection of American industries includes
equal opportunities, equal pay for
equal work, and protection to the home.
We favor the admission of women to
wider spheres of usefulness and we
desire their cooperation in rescuing the
country from Democratic and Populist
mismanagemnet and misrule.
Such are the principles and policies
of the Republican party. BY these
principles we will abide and these pol
icies we will put into execution. We
ask for them the considerate judment
of the American people. Confident
alike in the history OF our great party
and in the justice of our cause, we pre-
sent our platform and our candidates
in the full assurance that the election
will bring victory to the Republican
party and prosperity to the people OF
the United States.

recklessly struck down both and both
must be re-established.
Protection for what We produce; free
admission for the necessaries of life
which we do not produce; reciprocal
agreements of mutual interests which
gain open markets for us in return for
our open market to others. Protection
builds ND domestic industry and trade
and secures our own market for our
selves: reciprocity builds up foreign
trade and finds an outlet for our sur
plus.
SUGAR.
We condemn the present administra-
ton for not keeping faith with the
sugar producers Of this country. The
Republican party favors such protec-
ton as will lead to the production on
American soil of all the sugar which
the American people use, and for which
they pay other countries more than
500 900, 600 annually.
WOOL AND WOOLENS.
To all our products-to those of the
mine and the field. as well as to those
of the shop and the factory-to hemp,
to wool, the product of the great in
dustry of sheep husbandry as well as
to the finished woolens of the mill. We
promise the most ample protection.
MERCHANT MARINE.
We favor restoring the early Ameri-
can policy of discriminating duties for
the upbuilding of our merchant marine
and the protection of our shipping in
the foreign carrying trade, so that
American ships-the product of Amer
lean labor, employed in American ship
yards, sailing under the stars and
stripes, and manned, differed and own
ed by Americans-may regain the car
rying of our foreign commerce.
MONEY.
The Republican parry is undoubtedly
for sound money. IL caused the enact
ment of the law providing for the re-
sumption of specie payments in 1879
since then every dollar has been as
good as gold.
We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated TO debase paper cur

asfollows:
Major Mckinley
Your neighbors and townsmen wish
to be first TO congratulate you upon your
nomination to the highest Office within
the gift OF the people.
None know better than the neighbors
here assembled how well this honor
is merited. These were the first to
witness the beginning OF your public
career. They saw you quit your aca-
demic studies with the ardor Of youth
and bravely beyond your years, to de-
vote your services to your country.
The courage and ability you then dis
played promise Of what followed in
later years, won for you rank and title
by which we have so long and familiar
ly addressed you. We all unite IN eX-
tending to you our hearty congratu-
lations and good wishes.
There was a sea Of faces for blocks
about. and after whirlwind OF APP
plause had greeted Ex-Governor Nc
Kinley, he responded as follows:
my Friends and Fellow Citizens:
II am greatly honorsd by this demon
stration. It's non-partisan character
forbids political discussion and | appear
only to make grateful acknowledge
ment to your address and congratula-
Iions.
II am not indifferent to the pleasure
which you exhibit at the news just re-
ceivd from the Republican national con-
vention. For days yOur. interest has
been centered upon st. Louis and your
presence in such vast numbers testi-
fies to your personal good will as your
qualification to the work there done.
Your cordial assurances are all the
more appreciated by me because they
come from my fellow citizens, men Of
all parties, my neighbors, my former
constituents and my old army comrades
with whom | have lived almost a life
time, and who have honored me over
and over again with important public
trusts.
Your warm words are reciprocated
and will be long remembered. Many
of those around me have not always
agreed with me, nor with them, touch
Ing political questions. But it is pleas
ant as | look into your faces to recall
that in all the years of the past there
has never been moment of time when
you have withheld from me your friend

THE TARIFF.
We renew and emphasize our aliegi-
anCe 10 the policy of protection as the
2l.Vark Of American Industrial lnde-
penjence and the foundation Of Ameri-
can development and prosperity. This
true American policy taxes foreign pro-
ducts and encourages home industry;
c puts the burden of revenue on foreign
goods: IL upholds the American stand

Of the farm and makes the American

The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1896-11-26

The Santiam bridge, on the old
narrow gauge railroad, has been a
great cost to the company. The recent
high water carried it away, as well as
high waters will continue to do. This
is the fourth time it has been washed
away. There is no suitable site in
that neighborhood for a bridge. The
company would save many thousands
of dollars by extending its track up
the Santiam towards Lebanon and
cross the river where there is a sure
foundation. We understand that a
surveying party has been looking over
new route. The road could easily
he brought through Lebanon and
would be great advantage to the city
as well as great saving to the COM
pany. The EXPRESS would urge upon
our public spirited men the advisable
ity of making an effort to have the
company bring its track near the city.
Let the matter be considered by our
people and meeting be called to push
matters, if it is decided we want the
road. Now is the time to act.

creditors Of the Job bank are now TO

to he granted the assignee to pay a
final dividend Of ten and one-half per
cent. The assignee has now on hand
.22002S6 In cash, besides certain
amounts to he required in paying the
expenses Of fital settlement Of the
assignment, and this amount is just
sufficient to pay the dividend for
whose payment authority is sought.
This dividend will make the total
fmount that creditors will receive on
their claims, 401 per cent, or forty and
one-half cents on the dollar 1t falls
nine and one.half cents short of the
fifty per cent, required by law In order
to relieve Job Brothers Of liability for
