 The Republicans of New York in con- vention assembled congratulate the coun- try upon the conclusion of the war with Spain It was not undertaken for con quest. but for the sacred cause of human ity and for the just protection of Ameri- can interests. It has resulted in the com plete triumph of American arms on land and sea, and we meet with resolute faith all the responsibilities which our victories impose.
 We congratulate the country upon the patriotic wisdom. the patient courage and the broad humanity which distinguished the conduct of President Mckinley during the critical periods of diplomatic negotia- tfon and battle and which now guide him in the restoration of peace. Citizens of every state and every party fought and won under his command. All lingering sectionalism was burned out in the heat of battle. and today, with the war ended and peace assured all our people give honor and praise to the president who so bravely and so wisely enforced the tional will and upheld the national arms.
 We congratulate our army and navy upon the splendid victories of the war. and we welcome home our brave soldiers and sailors. who by their courage and sacrifices have added a new dignity to American citizenship and given new pow CT and meaning to our flag.
 We have abiding confidence that the president will conclude this peace upon terms that will satisfy the conscience. the Judgment and the high purpose of the American people. We realize that when the necessities of war compelled our na- tien to destroy Spanish authority in the Antilles and in the Philippines we as- stunned solemn duties and obligations alike to the people of the islands we conquered and to the civilized world. We cannot leave them, unarmed for defense and un- tried in statecraft. to the horrors of do- mestic strife or to partition among Euro pean powers. We have assumed the re- responsibilities of victory. and wherever our flag has gone there the liberty. the hu- manity and the civilization which that flag embodies and represents must remain and abide forever. The Republican party has been the party of brave conservatism. of wise progress and of triumphant faith in the nationality of this people, and we know that the president and statesmen and voters Of the Republican party will  and triumphantly as we have met the issues of the past.
 We commend the annexation of Hawaii in the interest of commerce, of national security and national development.
 We renew our allegiance to the doc trines of the St. Louis platform. We con- tinue to condemn and resist the Demo cratic policies declared at Chicago. The organized Democratic party of the nation adheres to these policies of free silver and free trade and denies the right of the courts and of the government to protect persons and property from violence. On the coming Sth of November We are to elect not only our state officers. but also representatives in congress and members of our state legislature. That legislature in its term will elect United States sem ator to succeed the present Democratic senator from this state. Democratic lead CTS declare that they will conduct this campaign upon state Issues alone. But 1t is known that if the Democratic party se- cures the state legislature 1t will re-elect to the United States senate that Democrat who now represents his party there and misrepresents the state. That senator supported the cause of free silver. sup ported the nominees of the Chicago con- vention in the last presidential election. gave his vote in the senate Tor the here sies of that Chicago platform, and must. fl reelected. continue to support those heresies. Democrats may try to decsiys the people by ignoring the anarchisth doctrines of that instrument in their state platform. but their members of congress and their senator, if they shall succeed in rs-eiecting him, cannot and YUl not ig-
