SOME GOOD RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolutions were
adopted with cheers:
The Republicans of Dickinson coun-
ty, by their delegates in convention
assembled, declare as follows:
First, We endorse and reafirm the
platform Of principles adopted by the
National Republican convention Of
| 1896.
Second, We endorse and commend
the administration Of President Will
liam Mckinley as eminently patriotic,
wise, pure and just. Especially do
we commend the course OF the presi.
dent during the war with Spain, his
wisdom and forbearapce In seeking a
fpsacesble solution oflthc CAOan ,ues-
lion before resorting to arms, while at
the same time prudently preparing
for war, and when circumstances
finally made armed Intervention nee
essary, his yigor, ability and energy
in the speedy and successful prosecu-
tion Of the same.
Third, We denounce and condemn
the state administration of Governor
Leedy as the most bitterly partisan,
imbecile and corrupt administration
in the history OF Kansas.
Fourth, We denounce and condemn
Governor Leedy for his unreasonable
and intense partisanship as displayed
in getting the Kansas volunteers in
the field. For the sole purpose Of
placing his political henchmen in
army offices he turned own the well
drilled and equipped Kansas National
Guard and substituted for the compe-
tent officers thereof men inexperienced
and disqualified for military service,
the result OF such incompetent politi-
cal military citizenship being that not
a single Kansas regiment was proper
ly equipped and drilled in time 10
participate in the war with Spain.
Fifth, We hereby endorse the nom.
inees Of the state, district aud county
conventions and pledge our hearty
support Of the same.
