South Dakota read the report Of the COM
mittee on credentials.
The committee on resolutions reported
as follows:
The representatives Of the National League
of Republican Clubs of the United States, In
convention assembled In the city OF Detroit,
reafirm their unfaltering allegiance to the
lection, sound money, reciprocity and patri-
otism, as expressed In the st. Louis plat
form. The faith which prompted the nom
nation of William Mckinley and Republi-
can Congress has been justified, and we con-
graduate the country upon the evidences of
returning prosperity. We pledge anew the
energy and support Of the great army OF or
ganized League men, In every State OF the
republic, for the advancement and continued
success OF the party OF Abraham Lincoln.
we view with satisfaction the progress
that has been made during the short period
of the present Republican administration
toward the fulfllment OF every pledge made
to the people; and commend the President
and Congress for their prompt and decisive
action In sending a monetary commission to
confer with other great powers OF the world
In the interests Of international bmetallism.
We rejoice In a conclusion OF a treaty pro-
viding for the annexation OF Hawaii, and
expect that, pending the ratification thereof
by the Senate of the United States, the ad-
mlnistration will protect the Islands against
all Interference.
The Republican party proclaimed In 1896,
Its active interest In and sympathy with the
Cuban patriots in their long and heroic strug.

at the demand OF this nation since March 4.
1897. The verdict OF the American people
and the voice Of humanity is that the useless
and inhuman efforts of Spain to govern
Cuba have lasted long enough, and we believe
that President Mckinley may be relied upon
to interpose his good offices to end that
struggle with the greatest promptitude con-
sistent with wise administration.
