,evotion and courage of American

devotion and courage OF American
manhood.
We hold 10 undying honor the SOL
diers and sailors whose valor saved
The life Of the nation and also those
who were but recently called to arms
in windication Of their country's hon
Or and the cause Of human liberty In
the war with Spain, and We favor Just
and liberal pensions OF all deserving
soldiers as a sacred debt Of the nation,
and believe the widows and orphans Of
those who are dead are entitled to the
care Of a generous and grateful people.
We most heartily approve Of the an
nexation Of the Hawaiian islands, and
hail with pleasure the American nag
which has been there planted as an
emblem of liberty by the republican
administration.
Believing in the great advantages OF
the proposed Nicaraguan canal and OF
the United States control Of the same,
we most earnestly commend such a
to the consideration Of our rep
in congress.
We condem the democratic party
in this state for again attempting to
deceive the people Of Wyoming by mis-
representations and ISLANDERS upon the
present state administration. We con-
denim the attempts Of the democratic
party to sneak back into power by
means Of calumny and false represen-
tatlons, as set forth In their so-ca1led
platform, and We invite a comparison
between the low wages and the low
prices Of live stock and farm products
which existed prior to the adoption Of
the Dingley bill by a republican con-
gress. and the condition Of the present
time. and call attention to the fact
that the congressman elected by votes
largely secured through m1srepressn-
tation at our last state election, voted
and worked against the adoption Of
this measure and all republican lsgis-
lation, which has meant 30 much to
the people Of this state.
We most heartily commend our rep
resentatives in the United States
senate, Hons. c. D. Clark and F. q.
Warren, for their zeal and untiring Of
forts in behalf of every measure A.
fecting the people Of this state and fos
the unswervertng loyalty to the prssi-
dent IN UNFOLDING and strengthening
his hands in every hour Of legislative
need.
We commend the wise, prudent and
and patriotic administrs-
ton of Governor Richards and the
state officials and while the
party, through !ts so-callsd
platform. has attempted to viihfy thess
oficials, we invite a comparison b.
tween the conduct Of the state govern
ment under the present republican Cd
ministration and the administration a
Osborn IL.
The highest income received during
any one year by the state land board,
Of which Governor Osborne Yves presi-
dent. was about s12.970. But the IN.
come Of the state has been steadily and
increasing from the commence
ment Of Governor Richards adimnis-
tration until during the last fiscal
year, 1897, the amount received By the
state board for said year, from the
Of public lAnds to settlers, in
this state amounted to $se.ss3.ss. In
addition to this, the state land board
has secured from the United States
without additional legds-
lation. as lieu lands. 81, ITO acres, for
which application for leases have al
ready been filed which will bring TO
The state a further additional annual
revenue of 317.0s3. While Governor
Osborne was chdef executive ol the state
