tended an invitation to the Republicans of

| confidence in the distinguished ability, high
character and invaluable public service of

senator from this state. During his entire
congressional career he has reflected honor
| upon the state and nation. The matchless
| skill and judgment which he has shown in
dealing with the difficult problems which
| now confront the nation have challenged
| the admiration of men of all parties and
give him established position in the
| front rank of American statesmen.

and nation will be subserved by his re-
| election to the national senate, we. the

The war and money planks of the plat

I'VE are in favor of the immediate an
| nexation of the Hawaiian islands, not only
| as an absolute necessity, but as the frui-
| ton of one of the noblest aspirations of
| one of the long line of our greatest states
| be of unquestioned advantage to the Amer
lean people.
I'VE believe the national honor and the
| material interest OF the American people
require the maintenance of the present
| gold standard.
We declare our unalterable opposition to
the free coinage of silver and all schemes
looking 10 the debasement and the
| repudiation of debts. We condemn the
continual agitation of free silver as
| tending to debauch the public morals and
| JeopardiZe the prosperity of the country
! the highest interests of which demand a,
| all times a sound and stable financial sys-
| tenn.
I'VE desire especially to commend the
wisdom and patriotism of the present ad-
| mfnistration of the management of the cX-
| listing war between this country and Spain
| a war which appeals to the patriotism OF
every citizen in that it is being prosecuted
| in the interests of humanity and for no self
| ish ends whatever.
ITO the end that its objects may be
speedily realized and the war brought tc
| an early termination. we pledge all the
| moral and material support in our power.
