is issued by Chairman John E. Dooly
to the members of the state commit
tee. accompanying a call for meeting

aid yesterday, with the exception of
the recommendation that the two fac

of the minority when the respective
standing of each is determined in the
convention, which was eliminated at
the last moment, was entirely in con-
formity with the document, which is
given herewith in full:
IMPORTANT POLITICAL CAM
PAIGN.
A most important political campaign
will soon open in our new state. Its
progress must deeply concern all Re
publicans who love their party and be-
lieve IN its principles, for upon the
results OF the campaign may depend
the difference between national pros
.1erlty anQ adversely.
Three months ago the triumph of the
Republican party seemed assured.
Three years of Democratic rule had
left the nation so prosTrated in all its
material interests: had spread so heavy
a pail over the land, that men seemed
TO be counting the days until the time
should come when they might, with
their ballots, retire from power par
ty so incapable Of managing the affairs
of the nation and compromising the
needs of the people. After three years
of trial-two Of which Democracy he'd
full control of every branch of the
law making departments of our govern
ment-the industrial interests of the
nation were paralyzed, confidence was
destroyed, hundreds of thousands of
men were idle, and distress and ruin
prevailed throughout the land.
UNEXAdPLED PROSPERITY.
AS stated by President Harrison in
xhis message TO a Democratic congress
fOecember, 1892 the country was then
enjoying unexampled prosperity, and
that from October 6, 1890, to October
%. 1892, under the inspiring influence
of the Mckinley Law" there had
been erected in the Union:
Three hundred new industrial estab-
lishments.
One hundred and eight existing es-
Establishments had been increased.
Forty million four hundred and forty
nine thousand and fifty dollars new
capital had been invested in manufac-
turing, and 1925 new employees had
been given work.
Let us turn from this great record of
progress and prosperity to the Demo-
cratic record:
RESULTS OF DEMOCRATIC RULE.
Within three years after President
harrison's message, the prosperity
which had blessed the country and
brought contentment and happiness TO
the homes of its people, had departed
under the whitening effect of Demo-
-Ncratic rule and legislation, and the
people were compelled to gaze upon
the Illuminating spectacle of a great
government, rich in all that is neces-
sary to insure the material welfare of
its people, forced in a time of profound
peace, to sell interest bearing bonds
in order to obtain funds to meet its
current expenses. Under Republican
rule there was a surplus every year,
and the bonded Indebtedness was
steadily decreased.
BONDED INDEBTEDNESS.
1t remained for the Democratic party.
the DrOcl9l0l61 GNdI1Sel OIL OTOSDGT1Gy.
TO be the first to increase our bonded
indebtedness since the close OF the civil
war. May not a clear reason for this
lamentable fact be partly found in the
statement by the toast master at the
chamber of commerce banquet in Lon
don when William L. Wilson, the
author of the Wilson BILL" was the
guest, as follows:
IF, as he hoped, the period of tariff
was beginning to end, both countries
(America and England ought to honor
Efr wilson Benefit had already been
experienced in England. because of
che Democratic tariff law.) Furnaces
shire and an impetus had been given
to textile industries
Contemplating this disgraceful rec
ord, 1T has been no wonder the people
waited impatiently for the opportunity
tc make change, and restore the Re-
publican party to power.
The great political parties of this
country have met, adopted their Flat
forms and nominated their candidates.
WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
The Republican party, true to its
principle of protection, has selected as
its standard bearer William Mckinley,
whose devotion and loyalty to his coun-
try was shown on the bantiefelds of the
nation, statesman OF the ripest ex-
peTience. the best tested wisdom, whose
fame as the friend Of labor and industry
is world-wide.
WILLIAM J BRYAN.
