We send to the brave soldiers of
the republic expression of our pride
and gratitude, and we rejoice that
those who went from Montana
proved themselves worthy the com
mouwealth, whose renown they
have, on all possible occasions aug
mented on land and sea.
We express our abiding approval
OF the principle of protection to
American industry and cherish with
undiminished anxiety our purpose to
see the rewards of labor are main

We endorse without reservation or

We renew our abiding faith in the

to emancipate from the thralldom Of
arbitrary power so many millions OF
human beings, and confer on them
the priceless heritage of liberty. And
in this good work to be carried to it's
ultimate conclusion we pledge him
the unwavering support of every pa

of the duties of peace he has entitled
himself to he unqualified cOmmenda-

The Republicans of Montana salute
their fellow countrynen newly allied
with them with their congratula-
