Our Platform.

We, your committee on platform and resolu-
tons, hereby report the following resolutions as
an expression OF the sentiments of this Conven-
ton:
We cordially approve and endorse the plat
form adopted and the candidates nominated at
the national Republican Convention and
promise them our loyal support. We are un-
swervingly in favor of true bimetallism. We
are unalterably opposed to the fusion fiat policy
which if carried out can only result in silver
recommendation and reduce this country to a
lower grade of civilization.
In this hour of distress and perplexity, we
recognize the necessity of restoring to power
party with practical united and well settled
policy, which has in the past given us prosperity
honor and dignity at home and abroad, and
promises return to the same conditions, and
We regard with apprehension the possible sue
cess of a combination of parties OF various di-
verse, discordant untried and impractical ex-
pedients
We declare that the leading issues of this
campaign are tariff policy that will protect and
promote American industry and enterprise.
Reciprocity that will encourage trade and com
merce on sea and land. Public improvements
of rivers and harbors, and especially the con
struction of the Nicaragua Canal. Practical
craftsmanship and firm and dignifed foreign
policy And declare that the attempt to invest
the free silver idea with undue prominence is
an expedient of demagogues to divert the mind
of the people from the real issues that confront
the nation.
We hold Democrats and Populists responsible
for the disasters they brought upon the country
mainly by the repeal of the Mckinley law OF
protection and reciprocity, and the passage o
the lily adjusted Wilson-Gorman act.
Never in the history of the county has TIT
management of affairs been more satisfactory OF
economically administered than for the last
years and we commend our officials to the favor
able notice of the public, and pledge our nom
inees if elected to perform the duties of their
Office for ths salaries allowed by law
