REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
The Republican party of the territory
of New Mexico, in convention
at Albuquerque, on the LIST day OF OctO-
Der, A. D. 1898, reaffirms Its faith in the
declaration Of principles set forth In the
national Republican platform OF 1896;
and it is with pride that we can again
point to the fact that under q Repubh-
can administration public credit has
been restored, industry, revived, facto-
ries and workshops reopened and pro-
lection given to American interests, un-
der which the people are enjoying re-
newed confidence and prosperity.
We most heartily indorse the Dingley
tariff law, enacted by a Republican con-
gress, despite the persistent opposition
of the Democratic party. Under that
law the sheep and wool and live STOCK
interests have been greatly benefited,
and the wealth of this territory benefit
ed by many millions of dollars.
We believe in sound money, and IN a
volume of money sufficient for all
business demands. The policy of the
present administration in giving m
ployment to labor, and protection to our
various industries Is a solution or the
financial question. We are opposed to all
| financial heresies which call for cheap
| money, believing as we do that all
| money issued by the government should
| be of uniform and equal value.
We congratulate the country upon the
] great success of the present national ad-
| ministration, in which u president
has distinguished himself as a states
man and a patriot in dealing with do
nestle and foreign affairs; II In which
l I,1 Inr c1,nyx GU yrlJnh Wisdom in In
holding the honor of this nation
We heartily approve the wisdom OF
| the annexing Of the Hawaiian islands,
and we favor the retention by this gov
eminent of all territory acquired by u
army and navy where Justice and hui
mainly demand it. We favor the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal under
the immediate supervision and exclu-
sive control Of the United States gov
eminent. the necessity for the canal
having been more strongly emphasized
by recent events.
We congratulate Governor Otero upon
the success Of his administration and
commend him for his efforts In behalf Of
good government and the Advancement
of the material and financial interests
of New Mexico, both at home and
abroad, and we tender to the president
of the United States our thanks for the
appointment of a governor from the
ranks Of the people, a mar who by rea-
son of his lifetime residence in New
Mexico, and Of his intimate acquaint-
ance with the needs Of our people Is best
able to perform the duties Of an exec
utive in this territory.
We heartily indorse the present Re-
publican administration In all Of its
branches During Inc br.ef period Ia
which the present executive has occu-
pied the position he fills, New Mexico
has attained a place In the hearts OF the
American people never before accorded
it. The patriotism Of citizens in send
ing forth a larger proportion of soldiers
to the Spanish-American war than Is
credited to any other state or territory,
and the bravery Of 'ur soldiers dis
played on the field of battle. are a guar
antee OF our right to full citizenship
in the American union. We po.nr with
pride to the immortal record maize by
the New Mexico squadron Of Trough
Riders in the battles Of La Qua 81 ma
and San Juan, by which a established
the intelligence, patriotism and indom-
liable courage Of our people, and where
in they have won for themselves the ed
miration of the civilized world, Il ten
der to the relatives and friends of those
who fell in the struggle for hllma nifty
Justice and civilization, the hearted;
%sympathies of a grateful people. We
congratulate the nation on the rasurn o
peace, and heartily indorse President
Mckinley upon the careful, patriotic
and successful manner in which the dig
nifty of this nation has been preserved ir
the wal with Spain.
We congratulate the people of New
Mexico upon the appointment by the
president Of the present able and fear
less judiciary, and commend the mem
bers thereof for their devotion to dut!
and their answering Interest in the ad'
ADMINISTRATION Of justice.
:! The present congress OF the Unitee
States is Republican in politics, and an!
acts Of that body favorable to New Mex.
leo are Republican measures and canno,
be credited to the efforts of a Demo
cratic delegate from this territory.
). The attitude of the Republican party
Of New Mexico has always been consist.
ent on the question of the admission OF
the territory as a state. We favored the
admission Of the territory when the
Democratic party was united IN theii
opposition against 1t. We still favor 1T
admission, believing that there Is nc
good and substantial reason for keeping
us out Of the Union as a state n pc,
lieve that this can best be accomplished
by the election of a delegate to congress
who is in harmony with Republican pol
tiles and principles.
Our heartfelt gratitude is extended t
the army and navy for their noble sac.
rilces In behalf of their country, ant
their brilliant achievements on land and
!, water; and we emphasize our apprecta
ton Of those brave soldiers known 81
the Trough Riders" to whose ranks on
. territory has so literally contributed
} and whose acts Of bravery and heroisn
have inspired the world with q nev
faith and confidence in American cour
age and valor.
We are in favor Of increasing boil
our army and navy to a size onme
: surate with the interest OF the country
thereby placing the nation In a position
: that will insure it a rightful infuenc
and power among the nations Of tn
earth. We believe in the expansion o
5 American industry and commerce, an
! in the full protection Of American citi
zens everywhere; wherever the Ameri
q can flag has been hoisted in the name o
humanity and freedom. we believe 1
/, F, should stay until every vestige of des
potism has been removed.
