Rights of Women.

The Republican party Is mindful OF
the rights and interests OF women. Pro-
lection OF American industries includes
equal opportunities. equal pay for equal
work and protection to the home. We
favor the admission OF women to wider
spheres OF usefulness. and welcome
their cooperation In rosculng the coun.
try from Democratic and Popullst mis-
management and mIsrule. Such are the
principles and policies Of the Republi-
can pnrty. BY these principles We will
abide and these principles we will put
into execution. We nsk for them the
conslderate 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
considerations. In the full assurance
that the election will bring victory IN
the Republican party and prosperity to
the people OF the United States.

THE PIVOT SHIFTS.

For a long series Of campaigns the
middle eastern states have been ac-
counted the pivotal states. The cast
ing Of the votes Of New York, Connec-
ticut, and New Jersey has turned the
balance decisively in contest after con-
test. To propitiatc the controlling ma
chimes and the voters Of these states,
convention after convention has sub
missively bent to the dictation Ot cam
didates and platform planks This cam
paign year witnesses a remarkable
shift Of influence. New York was not
a dominant factor in the St Louis con-
vention, and the state will be Of even
less account in the convention at Chi
cago.
The main battle-ground this year, the
center of the hottest fight will be the
middle states of the West. Indiana
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin will be
contested by every resource at the COM
mand of the gold and silver standards.
The free silver candidates are frankly
avowing their resolution TO abandon
New York and New Jersey TO the Re
publicans, for it is practically recogniz-
ed that the triumph of the silver stand
ard at Chicago will blot out any linger-
ing hope Of carrying the old pivotal
states for the Democratic ticket. The
Democratic New York Journal fatty
announces that scarcely one assembly
district in the Empire state could be
carried on such an issue, and no we'll
Informed politician will sincerely dis
pute this conclusion.
It is frankly proclaimed by the ablest
representatives Of the free-silver coin
age cause that their hope Of success
hinges upon the prospect Of carrying
these new pivotal states Of the West.
If the Republicans can capture the
electoral votes of these states, the swell
Of the opposition to free silver coinage
will be so pronounced that other more
doubtful states will probably be swept
into line behind the sOund-money
standard On the other hand, If the
free silver cause can command the
following in these states which is
claimed by it's ardent boomers it will
scarcely be possible TO defeat the cleo
ton of the nominees Of the Chicago
convention.
This view of the Importance Of these
states in the coming election appears to
be well considered. Victory for one side
or the other will turn in all probability
on the elections in the middle states Of
the West. In view Of the magnificent
rallies for sound money which Will
surely be made on this decisive battle

Independence Of Cnba.

From the hour Of achieving their own
Independence the people OF the United
States have regarded with sympathy
the'struggles Of other American peoples
to free themselves from European dom
nation. We watch with deep ana abid-
Ing interest the heroic battle Of the Gu
ban patriots against cruelty and op-
preston, and our best hopes 40 out for
the full success OF their determined con-
test for liberty.
The government Of Spain, having lost
control OF Cuba and being unable 10
protect the property or lives OF resi-
dent American citizens or to comply
with its treaty obllgationes, we believe
that the government OF the United
States should actively use It's influence
and good offices to restore peace and
give independence to the island.

Pensions for Veterans.

The veterans ot the Union armies de-

Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal OF the reel
procity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was n
national calamity, and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as win equnllze our trade with
other nations, remove the restrictions
which now obstruct the sale Of Amer
lean products In the ports OF other
countries and secure the enlarged mar
kets Of our farms. forests and factories.
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures Of Republican policy. and go
hand In hand. Democratic rule has
reckessly struck down both, and both
must be re-established Protection for
what we produce, free admission for
the necessaries Of life which we don't
produce, reciprocal agreements Of mu-
tual interest which gain open markets
for US in return for our open market TO
others. Protection builds up domestic
industry and trade and secures our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.

AMONG SOME OF THE FAIREsT
SCENES.

On this continent and in the tropics,
malaria poisons the atmosphere with
its pestilential breath sowing the
seeds Of disease and death in every di-
rection. It is in such localities that the
preventive and remedial qualities Of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are most
conspicuously shown. For every form
Of malaria it is a signally efficacioUs
remedy, and conquers disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, remedies in
activity Of the kidneys, and counteracts
the weakness and lack Of stamina
which invites disease by levelling the
barrier which a vigorous operation Of
the digestive and secretive organs OPP
poses TO it. No defensive medicine in
use has stronger Communications in pro-
fessional quarters both fo' purity and
remedial qualities.

The Democratic commissioner Of nav
igation's last report. that for the fiscal
year ending in 1925. shows some rather
startling figures Of shipbuilding condi-
tions under Democratic and Republican
rule, which it is worth while here re-
eording. During the administration OF
Garfield and Arthur. preceding the first
administration Of Grover Cleveland. the
total tonnage Of all vessels built in the
United States amounted TO l.O53,s72.
During Mr.. Cleveland's first term the
tonnage Of all vessels built aggregated
but 623,046 tons, a decrease of Al per
cent During the administration Of
Benjamin Harrison the tonnage OF all
vessels built in the United States rose
again to 1,Os4,ls2, being an increase in
the amount of construction over that
built under Grover Cleyeland's admin
istration Of Just "A per cent. During
the first three years of Grover Cleve-
lands second administration the yes
sells built in the United States aggre-
gated 454,4S6 tons. as compared with a
construction of S94, $50 under the first
three years Of Benjamin Harrisons ad-
ministration, or fall since the Repub-
Hcans lost control of the government
Of 4s per cent. 1t is not difficult TO un-
derstand, from these figures. why ii is
that a large majority, in fact about all.

the country are strongly Republican.

The ridiculous manifesto of the Pop
ulists issued at Chicago yesterday will
surely dispose of the remote possibility
Of Teler's selection as the candidate Of
the convention. It is difficult TO see
how any decent free silver Democrat

entertain the idea of Teller's nomina-
ton after this bombastic and arrogant
proposal to absorb. and wipe out OF
existence all distinctive trace Of the
once great ,Jeffersonian organization.
The insolence and presumption Of such
a suggestion is enough to make the
blood of even Republican boil. There
have been Democratic conventions
where Teller and his boosters would
have been lynched for daring TO offer
such an insult.
