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
stitutions and a comparison that gives
little hope OF a return to power OF the
democratic party, the party Of decep-
ton and disappointment.
We reafirm the declaration of facts
and principles adopted by the eleventh
national republican convention at St.
Louis, July II, 1896.
The financial policy Of the republi-
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 reaffirm 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, dave
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
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 preslden-
tial Office in a manner SO wise and pa
triotic as to challenge the admiration
Of all parties at home 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
fdence 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.
We believe our country under a repub-
lican administration is entering upon
Its greatest period Of power, happi-
ness and responsibility, and we realize
the mighty future of successful progress
and duty which Is even now before us,
supported by the republican party, is
fully able to pursue a policy upon the
declaration Of peace with Spain which
will at n ce maintain the dignity and
honor Of our nation and bring pros
perity to the islands which will come
under her control and protection.
We extend to the brave men on land
and sea who have gone forth to battle
Tor the glory of u flag and the cause
OF human liberty, our deepest sympa-
thy on account OF the sacrifices they
