REPUBLICAN, PLArfoRE.

The republicans Of Wyoming. In con
ventton assembled, congratulate thu
nation on it, return TO republican rule
which furnisheg . sure guarantee Of tht
stability and prosperity Of all our In
situations and q comparison that gives
little hope Of q 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 reafirm the financial plank Of
the platform rs 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
1895, protection and reciprocity, twin
measures Of republican policy, nave
been re-established and have been en-
bodied in, by the enactment Of the
ninoIov hill nnd ~o ncoonfo1Iu non
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 manner 90 wise and pa
trtotic 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-
fidence in his ability to secure such
terms Of peace. which We believe to be
neal at hand, as will advance human
liberty and comfort, with the honor
n dignity Of the American people.
We believe our country under a repub-
lican administration 10 entering upon
Its greatest period Of power, happi-
s and responsibility. and we realize
the mighty future OF successful progress
and duty which il even now before us,
supported by the republican party, is
fully able to pursue q policy upon the
declaration Of peace with Spain which
will at once maintain the dignity and
honor Of u 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 zone forth to battle
for the glory Of our nag and the cause
of human liberty, our deepest sympa-
thy on account Of the sacrifices they
have made and the hardships they are
called upon TO endure, and our warmest
praise for their unoonquerable valor;
We honor. congratulate and applaud our
country's heroes throughout the entire
nation, and especially those from our
own commonwealth, who have once
more proved the matchless Intelligence,
devotion and courage Of American
manhood.
We hold In undydng honor the SOL
dies and sailors whose valor saved
the life Of the nation and also those
who but recently called to arms
In wndication Of their country's hon
or and the, cause Of human liberty In
the war with Spain. and we favor Just
and liberal pensions OF all deserving
soldiers as . sacred debt Of the nation,
and believe the widovs and orphans Of
those who are dead are entitled to the
Of a generous and graceful people.
We most heartily approve Of the an
nexation Of the Hawaiian islands, and
hail with pleasure the American nag
which has been there planted a. an
emblem OF liberty by the republican
administration.
Believing in the great advantages Of
the proposed N~icaraguan canal and Of
the United States control Of the same,
most earnestly commend such q
to the consideration Of our rep
In congress.
We condem the democratic party
IN this state for again attempting to
the people Of Wyoming BY mis-
representations and slander upon the
stats administration. We con-
Tenn the attempts Of the democratic
party to sneak back into power by
means Of calumny and fAlse repressn-
- sst forth In their s~o-called
platform, and We invite . comparison
between tho low wages and the low
prices Of Mvs stock and farm products
which existed prior TO ths adoption Of
he Dinglsy Oil By . republican con
yress. and the condition Of the present
lime. and call attsnk3on TO ne fAck
