YentiOn assembled, renew our allegiance TO the
time hOnored principles Of the republican party
We heartily endorse the national platform adopt
cd nc 81 Louis and pledge our united efforts 10
the election Of the candidates upon that splendid
platform
We point with pride to the record Of the repub.
lican party under the national administration OF
Benjamin HARRISON which redeemed all OF the
pledges made 10 the people and distinguished two
hundred millions of dollars OF the national debt,
and when compared with the record OF the pres
cn democratic administration, which has not only
failed 10 redeem any OF It's pledges, but has ncreas
ed the national debt two hundred and sixty.two
millions VI dollars, and 20 adjusted the tariff OF
the country ae TO run the government IN debt IN
stead OF reducing the national indebtedness, gives
the people d desire 10 return TO the prosperous
times which an administration Of affairs by the
republican party guaruuteeS; and with VIM Nc
Kncy as President ana re'enactment OF the
great tariff law which bears his name TO guide us,
We confidently look for return Of the prosperous
times which were ours up 10 four years ago

state administration Of Governor Morrill, with the
miserable failure OF his predecessor, Governor
Lewelllng We find that there has been financial
saving TO the taxpayers Of the state OF nearly a
quarter OF million Of dollars, under The able ad-
mnstratiOn OF affairs by Governor Morrill, and
his efficient corps Of co.slate officers That instead
Of a scandal IN every department OF state, not one
thing has occurred, under the present administra
ton, to bring the blush Of shame TO the cheek Of
any Kansan, and having continued falth in the
ability, honesty and integrity Of Governor morrill,
and the other state officers who have been such
invaluable assistance 10 his matChese adminiatra-
ton we hereby express ourselves in favor OF the
denomination Of Governor Morrill, and the present
efficient corps Of state officers
We wish also TO express our greatful apprecia
ton Of the greatly Improved financial condition OF
our county under the present able ana eiiicient
corps Of republican officers, when their record is
compared with that OF their predecessors Under
their administration OF county AFFAIRS, il0ating
debt Of twelve thousand dollars, which the county
inherited from the recent pOpulist administration,
after turning over 10 them balance OF $1,000 in
the treasury, is nearly wiped out, and the market
value OF county warrants has been raised from 80
cents to Os cents on the dollar ana IN less imam
six months under republican management the
debt will be entirely eXtmguished and the county
will be doing business upon a cash basis again, to
the great benefit of the taxpayers Of the county
