REPUBLICAN NATIONAL PLAT
FORM.

The platform reads as follows:
The republicans of the United States
assembled by their representatives in
national convention, appealing for the
popular and historical justification of
their claims to the matchless achieve
ments of 80 years of republican rule,
earnestly and confidently address
themselves to the awakened intelli-
gence, experience and conscience of
their countrymen in the following dec
laration of facts and principles:
Fol the first time since the civil war
the American people have witnessed
the calamitous consequences of full
and restricted democratic control of
the government. 1t has been a record
of unparalleled incapacity, dishonor
and disaster. In administrative man.
agement it has ruthlessly sacrificed in
dispensable revenue, entailed an I'M
ceasing deficit, eked out ordinary cur
rent expenses with borrowed money.
piled up the public debt by $685., 900, 900
in time of peace, forced an adverse bal
ance Of trade, kept a perpetual men,
ace hanging over the redemption fund,
pawned American credit to alien syn
dicates, and reversed all the measures
and results of successful republican
rule. In the broad effect of its policy
1t has precipitated panic, blighted in
dustry and trade with prolonged de-
preston, closed factories reduced work
and wages, halted enterprise and Grip
pied American production while stimu-
lating foreign production for the
American market.
Every consideration of public safety
and individual interest demands that
the government shall be rescued from
the hands Of those who have shown
themselves incapable to conduct 1t
without disaster at home and dishonor
abroad, and shall be restored to the
party which for 80 years administered
it with unequaled success and prosperi-
ty. And in this connection we heartily
endorse the wisdom patriotism and the
success Of the administration OF Presi-
dent Harrison.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORMS
REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.

ktEf ODlLlSfAAN
The republicans Of the State OF Wyo-
ming in convention assembled most
heartily approve and endorse the nomi-
nation Of William Mckinley for presi-
lent and Carrot A. Hobart for vice
president:
We reafirm our allegiance to repub-
lican principles and policies and de-
clare, with that able and conspicuous
exponent of republican principles
William McKinley-that the only safe
policy Of the American people Is a
speedy return to that system which
will provide a sufficient revenue for the
expense OF the government; cherish,
protect and build up its Industrial in
terests, and afford employment with
liberal compensation for every man
and woman DESTROYS Of obtaining 1t.

paramount issue of this campaign.
We favor laws in aid of state immi'

mines, to make homes on the million:
of acres of irrigable and fertile public
land, to develop and utilize all our i'm
mense and unused resources.
Ii the rich rivers which now run Il
waste were diverted and used, if the
valleys which border them were re,
claimed and occupied. it would add
hundreds of thousands to our pOpula.

taxable wealth. 1t would stop the
drain of money sent each year to sur
rounding states to purchase farm pro-
duc;s. revive trade in our cities and
towns, tighten the burden of taxes and
afford employment to labor. To secure
these results and to aid those who re-
claim and make productive these I'M
occupied wastes, we favor legislation
by the general government in aid of
irrigation. We believe that every dol
lar paid for desert land should be re-
turned 10 The state and expended on
bitches and reservoirs to make these
and other lands productive.
We recognize the need of laws to
protect and preserve our mountain for
ests and favor legislation to hat end.
We condemn the present forest reserve
law, which prevents the legitimate and
harmless use of timber by settlers, pre-
vents the ownership or development
Of mines in reserved areas and does
nothing to protect the forests from fire

We favor laws for the preservation
of che native grasses on the open range

and taxpayers of this state the exclu-
sive right to occupy and use the ranges
within it's borders and protect their
homes against the hocks and the herds

TERRITORIES.

We favor the admission of the re-
mGing territories at the earliest prac-
ticable date, having due regard to the
interests Of the people of the territories
and of the United States. All the fed
eral officers appointed for the terri
tories should be elected from bona fide
residents thereof, and the right of self
government should be accorded as far
as practicable.
We believe the citiz1ns of Alaska

that needful legislation may be intel

RIGHTS OF WOMEN.
The republican party is mindful OF
the rights of women Protection of
American Industries includes equal op-
portunities. equal pay for equal work,
and protection to the home. We ia
vor the admission Of women to wider
spheres of usefulness and welcome
their cooperation in rescuing the
country from democratic and popuulist
Encouragement and m~isrule.
Such are the principles and policies
of the republican party. b. these prin-
ciples we will abide. and these policies
we will put into execution. We ask for
them the considerate Judgment of the
American people. Confident alike in
the history of our great party and in
the justice of our cause. we present our
platform and our candidates in the full
assurance that their election will bring
victory to the republican party and
prosperity to the people Of the United

we favor all measures designed to

standard, the standard of the most en-
lightened nations Of the earth.
PENSIONS.
The veterans of the union armies de-
serve and should receive fair treatment
and generous recognition. Whenever
practicable, they should be given the
preference in the matter of employ
ment, and they are entitled to the en-
actment Of such laws as are best cal
culated to secure the fulfllment of the
pledges made to them in the dark days
Of the country's peril. We denounce
the practice in the pension bureau, so
recklessly and unjustly carried on by

ing pensions and arbitrarily dropping
names from the rolls. as deserving the
severest condemnation of the Ameri-
can people.

 MARsELLEs, Sept. 9o.- -[Copyrighted, 1896, by the Associated Press. l-There exists a condition of affairs here at present which seems to be disgrace to Europe and to the Armenian associa- tions generally throughout the world. Subsisting upon the government, mu. nieipal or private charity here, are 50o unfortunate Armenians, men, women and children, young and old, healthy and sick, who succeeded in escaping the bloody massacres at Constantinople, and who, one and all, buoyed up by hope on landing here on being able to event ually reach the United States, but weeks have already elapsed and nothing def mite appears to have been done for theii relief, much less toward finding them homes by any of the many associations for the relief of suffering Armenians which have been organized in England and America. These unfortunates, how. ever. seem to be the very class to which the hand of charity should bo first ex. tended. They are homeless and nearly all penniless, many enduring the bangs of hunger, and yet nobody seems will. ing to steer in and guide this band of refugees to some place where they can begin life anew and under more prom. ising circumstances.

 DALTON. O.. Oct. Though but 2 mere child, itwas g felonious motive that enraged little 7.year-old Carl MeIlhony to plan and then deliberately shoot and kill his playmate, Tommy Kidd, last Monday.
 Tommy Kidd was sitting in his crip- pie chair in which, by means of handle wheels. he had managed to move his little paralytie body about from room to room. He was just II years old, hay ing for 10 years of that short existence, been an invalid and confined to the house He was bright, intelligent and had an aptitude for study.
 The parents of Tommy, when they left two weeks ago, decided to leave the little invalid ill the country in the care of Mrs McIlheny, who is widow Carl, the childmurderer, has been the active terror of the whole country ever since he donned kneebreeches. Two years ago he set fire to his mothers barn. Tommy Kidd, in defending him self from one of Carl's practical jokes. slapped Carl This was the proyooation for the murder
 Last Saturday John Homan returned borrowed doublebarrelled shotgun to the McIlheny house; the gun was put in the front parlor, in place quite out of the way. The barrels were empty. Carl hunted for and found the gun, loaded both barrels, came down, con- siderately drew hls baby sister from the range of his aim, aimed at little Tom my's head and deliberately shot him, killing him instantly.

 The boymurderer is not legally re- sponsible, although he has confessed. He will never occupy a criminals cell for the murder he has committed. He is one year too young for that. How ever, efforts are being made to send him to reform school.

Facts Familiar.

The newspaper that pleases every body has not yet been printed, re- marks an unidentified exchange. People are quick to take offense at an item that is contrary to their views, and too easily forget any favors shown by their home paper. There is a certain amount of, epnsid- eration and charity due ta every- body, and the publisher of the local paper should not be exempt. He is human, and has feelings like other people. If everybody were to culti- vate and practice the virtues, people would understand each other better and enjoy life more.

Has Taste of Campaigning That
 Tries His Wits.
 BOSTON, Sept. 29-Mr. Bryan and his escort had taste of the hardsbips of campaigning Monday, having left Bath. Me, at midnight. where there was scramble for sleepers. The party was aroused from much needed sleep at , o'clock, when Lynn, Mass. was reached. The candidate was billed for a speech at this place At Newburyport a portion of the Democratic city campaign com mittee boarded the train to receive MT. Bryan, and at Lynn station the other members were in waiting. The com. mittee had provided carriages and the party were driven to Hotel Seymour, where breakfast was served and an in- formal reception held Shortly after 2 o'clock Bryan and Sewan were escorted to Highland square, where a stand had been erected. Here Bryan delivered brief address.
 At 8:20 o'clock the party caught the train for Boston, arriving there about 20 minutes later, where they were met by several hundred enthusiastic admir-. CTS A quick trip across the city in carriages was necessary in order to make connection with the Colonial ex- press which left Providence depot at 9 o'clock.
 Bryan's departure from Boston was noticeable only for the enthusiasm eyinced by 15o0 people who saw him aboard the Colonial express at Provi- dence depot. He made no speech and simply stood upon the platform of his car and smiled goodby to his yelling ad- mirers.
