Republican State Platform.

Resolved, that in. the interests of
humanity and a more progressive and
enlightened civilization, we most earn
estly advocate closer relations and a
better understanding between the Eng
lish speaking people of the earth.
In the future, as in the past, we well
come to our hospitality all liberty-lov-
ing individuals from every cline and
offer to each a full share of the great
blessings, that belong to and are a part
Of the free institutions under our repub-
lican form Of government.
We condemn the unciviliZed and dark
age policy of Spain in it's barbarous
treatment of the Inhabitants IF Cuba,
Porto Rico,i the Philippines and those
islands yet remaining under Spanish
control; to those Of our patriotic 1citi-
zens who have pledged their lives on
behalf of these oppressed people we
offer u tenderest devotion and united
support. In the marvellous victories
on sea and land our nation has achieved
in the past three months we recognize
the hand Of Providence and accept
them as assurance of the success of
our nation in the future.
We sincerely believe that Cuba must
and of right ought. to be free and
independent.
Spanish dominion over Porto Rico
and the Philippines must cease forever
and we favor such wise policy as may
be deemed necessary by the admins
tration for the future government and
control of those islands.

gress and the executive In the anneXa-

national concern. we r unalterabiy
opposed to the free coinage at silver.
The currency OF the American people
