heartily and unequivocally reaffirm
our allegiance to the principles of the
Republican party as set forth and e.
pressed in the platform of the Ma.
tional% convention adopted at St. Louis
in 1896.
That we heartily endorse the ad.
ministration of President Mckinley
and recognize in him a statesman OF
the loftiest character and purest mo.
tives. We especially admire, commend
and endorse his patient efforts to give
freedom to Cuba without %resorting tc
the stern arbitrament OF war and when
that was found impossible, for the
vigor aud effectiveness with which he
has prosecuted the war and is nov
driving the Spanish oppressors from
that ~ill-governed and long-sufferine
land.
That we endorse the present state
administration for the able and eff,
Gent manner in which the laws of the
state have been executed, the econo
mical policy pursued throughout the
different departments of the govern
ment and the many reforms effected
during the last two years.
That we are in favor of continuing
the enforcement Of the present pro
hibition law.
That we especially endorse Hon
