Republican Platform

The republicans of South Dakota, in
convention represented, affirm their full
faith in and ALLEGIANCE TO the declaration
OF principles adopted by the national
republican convention at st. Louis in its
entirety, constituting q platform OF a
great and progressive party, proud Of its
past record and achievements, courage
GUS in it's championship Of the right and
unfaltering in the maintenance Of it's po-
litical tenets.
2. We recognize in William McKin-
ley, IL candidate for president, and
Carrot A. Hobart, the nominee for vice
president, two typical Americans, tried
in the public service and found able and
true, pure in their lives, untarnished in
their honor and close to the people in
their experiences and sympathies, aud
We pledge to them our most hearty and
willing effort and support, with the full
vote OF South Dakota in the electoral
college. With such a platform and in
vinclble leader We enter the contest with
the inspiration Of a sure prophecy Of
victory at the polls in November next.
3. We commend the present republ,-
a administration OF governmental at
fairs Of this state as honest and econom.
ical, and especially commend it's steady
purpose ana effort in exposing and
bringing to speedy punishment a former
defaultiug state treasurer, and recover
ing back for the state 90 large a porpor-
ton of the stolen funds; and We demand q
passage OF an act by our legislature bro
viding adequate punishment for defalc
tons OF public officers.
4 The republican party having al
ways been the friend Of labor and labor
ing men, deplores the frequent strikes
and conflicts between employers and
employ ed, resulting ut times in the de-
struction Of life and property and great
injury to those Immediately concerned
and the public generally, and favors the
settlement OF all questions Of dispute
arising between labor and capitol by le-
gally constituted arbitration by which
all parties interested shall be bound.
g.. We believe the transportation cor.
porations OF this state are the peoples
public servants; We oppose any and all
harsh or unjust legislation concerning
them. but We do demand such legislation
as will clothe the board Of railway com
m~,ssioners Of this state with full power
and authority to correct evils, RICH,
wrongs, snd in general to prevent ell un.

just determinations, and to provide q
reasonable maximum tariff OF passenger
and freight rates.
We recommend that each county con.
v"ention OF this state, for the nomination
of members for the legislature, take such
action as will require all candidates
upon the Legislative ticket to commit
themselves upon the Question OF legisla,
ton to carry out. 1.-The meaning and pur,
pose Of tins resolution.
G.. We view with apprehension the
growth Of corporate power in this coun-
try, and especially are we opposed to
trusts and combines which during re-
cent years have steadily multiplied, seek
ing by unjust and illegal means to stitie
competition, and thereby, while lettering
the producer, to extort extravagant
prices from the consumer. We pledge
the party and it's nominees for congress
| and the senate TO use all efforts toward
their d]estruction.
:. Whereas. complaints are made by
| the people concerning the m~anaSement
of the grain elevators within the state;
Therefore, we demand that the coming
legislature make a thorough lnvestiga-
ton into the details OF such manage
ment within this state, and by proper
legislation provide adequate remedies for
the evil that may he found to exist.
s. We invite every voter who is a low
er of good government and who desires
the return Of prosperous and good times
to Join with us in the election OF the re-
publican ticket in county, state and ma
ton.
In addition to the platform as above
quoted, the convention adopted also the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That since the assembling Of
the last republican convention Of South
Dakota the Supreme Ruler Of the uni
verse has removed from the active scenes
of earth our honored ex-governor, Ar
thur c. Mellette; and that Ia his death
his family has been deprived Of a devot-
ed husband and father, our state which
he SO faithfully served a public benefac-
or, the republican party Of II state a
champion Of masterful ability, fidelity
and courage, and the nation one of the
nob!est works of God-an honest man.
Resolved, That in boiling the st. Louis
convention Senator Pettigrew has ceased
% be in touch with the republican par
ty of this state. and that he has forfeit
ed it's political respect and esteem.

DENNER, Aug. 1T is announced
that State Auditor Parks, who is ex-of-

to spring a surprise upon some of the
leading insurance companies. Several
companies, it is said, have recently
been sending circulars to their policy
holders containing the assertion that if
the Democratic party is successful i'll
the coming election, their policies will
be worth but half the amount on which
the premiums have been paid. 1t is
said Mr.. Parks has been quietly secur-

he claims are evidences of insolvency
on the parts of the companies and lie
now proposes to cancel the licenses of
all such companies which are now do

that the auditors Judgment in such
cases is final. and that if he insists upon
this course, the companies will be barred
from doing business in the J~ata

IN HARD LUCK.

Here is a sample Of the i'll fate I had

could do was to get me a meal ticket at
the Blue Bell-one Of those FL meals
for 81 affairs-and, every time you eat
they punch a figure. I wasn't long us
ing it, and stepped out III the sidewalk
containing the first resemblance to a
square feed l had held for some days. A
gust of wind came down from between
Tenderfoot and Mineral hills, where all
the puffs originate, and blew the meal
ticket out Of my hands. 1t landed face
up on the sidewalk, ten feet or SO away,
and before l could recover it a big 200
pound Cornish miner stepped III it. He
wore heavy boots, with hobnails in 'em,
and as sure as I'm a living man the
nails in his heel punched out the re-

A similar melodrama, whose plot
swung and ratified about a restaurant
ticket, had its scene i'll Chicago. 1t was
before the days when gold cures offered
temporary relief to those addicted to
the rosy. One young man, naturally Of
a thrifty habit, reached a point in his
life when he learned that if he became
thirsty he became very much SC. In
quelllng this thirst he was apt to squan-
der all the money he had saved since
the last time. SO it came that, being
phllosophlc, he rose superior to his pro-
pensity for thrift and disposed Of his
salary as fast aS he earned it Thereby
he got due and proper action for his
money, and also appreciably shortened
the length OF his DRINKS. Having no
reserve fund, he could not continue his
liquor consuming career for long. One
Monday he detected the stealthy ap-
proach OF the thirst. He had become SO
wise that he could tell it IS hours away.
1t was his salary day, and, knowing
full we'll his weakness, the first invest
