REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM.

The following IL the platform adopted
BIZ the republican party C Oregon In
ssss convention assembled at Astoria
Ttuf- sy April a. 1ses:
the republican voters of the
state Of Oregon. in conveItion assem-
bled. congratulate tf5s people 90 the
state as well as Of the whole nation on
he unmistakzble fact that the dark
cloud Of adversely. which has hung Ike
A pail over our fair land. has been dis
sipated- We recognize that the return
Of prosperity is due 70 the restoration
OF the republican party to power.
we are in favor Of the maintenance
Of the present gold standard: we are
unqualifedly opposed to the free coin
age Of silver and to all other schemes
boxing TO the debssement Of the cur
rency and the reputation Of debt We
believe that the best money in the
world is none too good to be assured
by the government to the laborer as
the fruit Of his toll and to the farmer
as the price Of his crop. We condemn
the continued agitation of free silver
as calculated to jsopardise the prosper
ity Of the country and to shake the
confidence Of the people in the main
tenancs Of a wise financial policy; We
particularly condemn as unpatriotic,
the efforts Of the free silver agitators
tn array class against class and sec
ton against section; we declare that
the interests Of all classes and Of all
sections Of our country alike demand
a sound and stable financial system
While We ceplore the imminence OF
war, We recognize that the country is
on the eve Of a war. undertaken for
the vindication Of the national honor
and the performance Of a work dictated
by every instinct Of humanity; we de-
clare that the administration Is en-
titled in this conflict to the confidence
and support Of the entire people.
We are firmly attached to the prin-
ciples Of the federal constitution; we
recognize that representative govern
ment is one of these principles. and we
are opposed to any change in law or
constitution which will abrogate this
time-honored principle.
I'VE are in favor Of retrenchment
and reform in state and county mat
ters.
I'VE demand strict economy in pub
lie affairs, and the abolition of all
needless Offices and commissions.
The salmon fishing industry, so
fruitful a source OF revenue to the
state, should be fostered, and to that
end we favor state aid In the artiheel
propagation of salmon, and their dis
tribution in the waters Of the state.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the
principles Of the republican party of
the United States, as enunciated by
the republican convention in st. Louis
in 1896.
we denounce the fusion party Of
Oregon as an aggregation Of spolls-
men, who are ready to subordinate
principles to Offices. Each Of the par
ties to this compact Is willing to stul-
tlfy itself and form alliances with ele-
ments which II has heretofore de-
nounced as dangerous and unfit TO be
intrusted with power; we declare that
good government cannot come from
such an alliance"

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, OF Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years / have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now il is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless OF fatal. S.S.S. is the c1.=
real t..ooa remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces It out perma-
nently.
