The platform adopted stands for pro-
lection and reciprocity and says OF silver:
"Thc agitation for the free coinage Of sill
vcr at the ratio Of IS to ] seriously dis
turbs nll Industrial interests and calls for
clear statement of ;ho Republican att;-
tude upon this question TO the end that
the trade of this country at home and
abroad may again be placed upon n sound
and stable foundation. We recognize in
the movement for the free coinage Of sill
yer an attempt to degrade the long estab-
lished standard of our monetary system
and hence n tlow to public and private
credit at once costly To the national gov
crnment and harmful to our domestic and
foreign commerce. Until there is pros
spcct OF international agreement as TO sill
yer coinage, and while gold remains the
standard Of the United states and of the
civilized world, the Republican party of
New York declares itself in favor of the
firm and honorable maintenance of that
standard"
After giving standard Republican dec
laration on che national issues the plat
form says: "On this platform we present
Governor Levi Parsons Morton as New
Iurb's candidate for president. He is in
every way iit for the high honor and he is
peculiarly the man for the hour" Then
the governors public services arc detailed
briefly and with euloyium. and he is de-
clarcd the candidate for president OF the
New York Republicans.
There was but one attempt by the Nc
ki'.i.y men to obtain recognition. When
the report on dclc:atcs-at-lerrc was read
minority report was presented proposing 9
two Mckinley delegates instead of Pia; {

They have a pinched, sallow ap-

run down. Their symptoms plainly
show that their blood is thin and
poor, that it does not circulate prop
erly, and that their liver is in a very
bad state. That is why they have
these miserable symptoms and COM

Stomach troubles,
Constipation,
Nervousness,
General weakness,
Headaches and backaches,
Chilly sensations,
Dizziness,

who suffer from the miserable, wear

is to take Warmers Safe Cure regu-
larly, and it will make you strong
and well. Take it just for short
time and you will soon notice a

liver and kidneys will do their work.
This great remedy, in short. will put
new life and vigor into you. 1t will
make you feel better than you have
felt for many day. Will you not
try it?
