On the northwest coast, about &c
miles from Baracoa there is natural
cove, well sheltered by fringe of noun
tain pines, and it was the aim of our
captain to reach this cove, where the Gu

For two days we lay off at safe dis

portunity to clude the vigilance of the
Spanish gunboats, and run in, when,
through IA dense fog, we discerned the
outline of a government cruiser bearing
directly for us.
1t was impossible to escape, for our
steamer was as slow as n tortoise, so we
resolved to Sight. We knew that cap

termned to sell our lives dearly. The
conflict lasted only is minutes, and we
were boarded and captured, after we

ges of our workingmen against the IA
tai competition of low-priced labor, we
demand that the immigration laws be
thoroughly enforced and so extended
as to exclude from entrance to the
United States those who can neither
read nor write.
The civil service law was placed on
the statute books by the Republican
party, which has always sustained it,
and we renew our repeated declaration
that it shall be thoroughly and honest
ly enforced and extended wherever
practicable.
We demand that every citizen of the
United States shall be allowed to cast
one free and unrestricted ballot, and
that such ballot be counted and re-
turned as cast.
We proclaim our unqualified con-
domination of the unciVilized and bar
barOus practice, we'll known as lynch.
ing, or killing of human beings sus.
pected or charged with crime, without
process of law.
We favor the creation of a national
board of arbitration to settle and ad-
just differences which may arise be-
tween employers and employees engag-
ed in interstate commerce.
We believe in an immediate return
to the free homestead policy Of the Re-
publican party and urge the passage by
congress of the satisfactory free-home-
stead measure, which has already pass
ed the house and is now pending in the
senate.
We favor the admission of the re-
naming territories at the earliest prac-
ticable date, having due regard to the
interest of the territories and the
United States. All the federal officers
appointed for the territories should be
selected from bona fide residents there
of, and the right of self government
should be accorded as far as practic-
able.
We believe the citizens of Alaska
should have representation in the con-
gress of the United States, to the end
that needful legislation may be intelli-
gently enacted.
We sympathize with the wise and
legitimate efforts to lessen and prevent
the evils of intemperance and promote
morality.
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 favor the admission of women to
wider spheres of usefulness, and vel
come their cooperation in rescuing the
country from Democratic and PopuIfst
acknowledgement and misrule.
Such are the principles and poIicjeW
of the Republican party.
By these principles we will abide
and these policies we will put into exc.
cution. WSask for them the consider
ate Judgment of the American Deople.
Confident alike in the history of our
great party, and in the justice of our
cause, we present our platform and our
in the fun assurance that the
election will bring victory to the Re-
publican party and prosperity to the
people of the United States.
