REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The republicans Of Wyoming, in con-
vention assembled, congratulate the
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 us 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, nave
been re-established and have been en-
bodied In, by the enactment Of the
Dingley bill. and we especially con-
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 ann 80 wise and pa
triotic as to challenge the admiration
Of all parties at homo 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-
idence in his ability to secure such
terms OF peace, which We believe to be
near at hand, as will advance human,
liberty and comfort, With. the honor
and dignity Of the american people.

THE NEW EVIL OF TEA-sMoKINt

AAliI ANA<N VA AIE
Physicians in various parts OF the
country report an alarming growth OF
tea-smoking. The habit is contracted
by those whose nerves are disordered,
who can't sleep, whose digestion is i'm
perfect, whose liver is out Of order, who
gel the blues" and feel their strength
departing. 1t eem strange that SUI
ferers from the above disorders should
no cure themselves with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. This is a medicine
which whets up the appetite, regulates
the bowels, steadies the erve and in
duces sound sleep. Those who take it
find that 1t cures dyspepsia, and there
is no bad taste in the mouth in the
morning, no feeling of weakness after
the days work is done. 1t is well worth
a trial.

SPANISH AND NATIVES CLASH.
Some Happenings in Our New
Possessions.


In answer to q request from the
American Commission at Porto Rico
the Washington authorities have
wired instructions to the Commission
ers to notify the Spanish authorities
that the American flag will be raised
over the island to-day.
In accordance with these instruc-
tions the Spanish Commission was
formally notified that on day named
the Americana will take full charge.
This knowledge relieves the strain
ed relations between the Spanish and
the Americans. The uncertainty here
tofore existing has had very dis
quieting effect. American occupation
is the only thing needed to insure
peace throughout the island.
A number of Spanish soldiers and
Porto Rican, while drinking in cafe
at Arecibo, on the north coast west OF
Porto Rico, on Sunday, became in
volyed in q quarrel. The Spanish
withdrew and armed themselves and
then returned and fred into the
crowd of unarmed civilians, killing
five of them and wounding twenty
five.
Five of the wounded will die. The
natives were furious over the action
of the Spaniards, and after the shoot
ing they attacked number of houses
occupied by SPaniards iu the SUI

American forces taking charge of the

Tells the Fourth Tennessee Reqi-

ABOUT THEIR UNCLE SAMUEL
A Characteristic Speech Of the
Gifted Tennessean.

Gov. Bob Taylor, in presenting a
flag to the Fourth Tennessee at Knox
vile, drew this picture of Uncle Sam:
"The most striking and picturesque
figure in all history is the picture OF
lean and sinewY old man with long
hair and chin whiskers and wearing
an old-fashioned plug-hat. His pant.
aloons are in stripes of red and white,
and his blue swallow-tail coat is be-
spangled with stars. He is the per-
sonification of the United States and
we call him Uncle Sam.
ale is the composite of the wild
cat and the cooling dove-the lion and
the lamb, and the summer evenings
last sigh that shuts the rose. He is
the embodiment OF all that is most
terrible. The world stands appalled,
at his wonderful power. and bows in
admiration of his matchless magma
nimity.
Gle is the tallest individual on this
mundane sphere, and when he steps
across the continent and sits down on
Pixies Peak and snorts in his hand
kerchief of red, white and blue, the
earth quakes and the monarchs trem-
BILE on their thrones.
"From the peaceful walks of life he
can mobilize mighty army in sixty
days, and in ninety days he can de-
stroy powerful navy and demolish
an empire.
she is boss of the western hemis-
phere, sheriff OF Cuba, justice of the
peace of Porto Rico, and the guardian
ad Item of the Philippine Islands. He
is as brave as Caesar and as meek as
Moses.
"He is as fierce as tiger and as
cool as a cucumber. He wears the
tail feathers of the eagles of France
in his hat and the scalp of Mexico in
his belt. He laughs at the roar of the
Russian bear, and is already for
schooner of German beer. All that is
left of Spain is her 'houah' since her
combat with Uncle Sam. No longer
the lion of England roars at our door,
but the twain now stand together for
liberty and humanity.
"Oficers and soldiers of the Fourth
Tennessee volunteers, you are a part
of Uncle Sam, and in the name Of
seventy millions of his nephews and
nieces and especially in the name of
his favorite k1nfolks in this beautiful
city, present you this flag. Behold
its beautiful colors! The red-lipped
GIRLS of Tennessee have kissed it and
10! these crimson stripes. They have
pressed it to their innocent hearts and
10! these stripes of snow. Your
mothers and wives and sisters and
sweethearts have looked upon it and
they sanctified it with their prayers
and blessings, and 10! this azure field
of radiant stars, the symbols of hope
and of love, and tokens of truth and
loyalty. Take these gorgeous colors
from these loving hands and God
bless you.
