REPUBLICAN PLATFORM,

nation on its return to republican rule,
which furnishes a sure guarantee OF the
stability and prosperity Of all our in
situations and a comparison that gives
little hope Of a return to power Of the
democratic party, the party Of decep-
ton and disappointment.
We reaffirm the declaration OF facts
and principles adopted by the eleventh
national republican convention at St.
Louis, July II, 1896.
The financial policy Of the republic
can party having brought prosperity
to the entire country, and given III a
place among the nations OF the earth
and enabled us to conduct successfully
a foreign war, we, therefore, unhesi-
tatingly reafirm the financial plank Of
the platform as expressed by the ma
tional convention at St Louis.
We congratulate the country upon
the fact that in response to the demand
Of the st. Louis platform. and the will
Of the people expressed at the polls In
1896, protection and reciprocity. twin
measures Of republican policy, Dave
been re-established and have been en-
bodied in, by the enactment Of the
Dingley bill. and we especially on
graduate the people Of Wyoming upon
the enactment Of this law, which has
directly benefited our two great indus
tries, viz: the raising Of live stock and
the mining Of coal, by which both d.
rectly and indirectly have brought
prosperity to every business within our
state.
We most cordially approve the ad-
ministration OF President Mckinley.
He has met the unusually grave and
difficult questions which have arisen
since his incumbency OF the presiden-
tial office in a name so wise and pa
triotic as to challenge the admiration
Of all parties at home and to win the
approval Of the best people throughout
the civilized world. We express our
earnest approval Of the vigorous prose-
cution of the war and our entire con
fidence in his ability to secure such
terms Of peace, which we believe to be
near at hand AZ will advance human
