Doorway to Victory In 1900.
The coming campaign is but the door
way which leads to victory IN 1900, and
II Is an open door. The Republicans In
Iowu and of the nation fear not the
verdict OF the people at the coming cleo
tlon. Do you doubt that this is a Re
publican year or that these are Repub-
llcnn times? Then a glance at the
prosperity Thermometer Will speedily
dIspel such doubt. The distinguished
results of Republican victories in the
past are happy augurers of the future.
The Republican party will, II permitted
under providence. continue to adminis-
ter the affairs Of the government,main-
tain order and law and put down all
insurrectlons. It will also solve and
administer abe affairs of finance, as
they produce the greatest possible ben
efits to all the people. It viii so adjust
and readjust our trade relations with
other nations that the wage earners of
this country will maintain their pres-
ent proud position Of being the best
paid and most intelligent laborers in all
the world. 1t will surely grupple with
the problem OF unlawful trusts and
combines, so that no oppression or ty-
ranny. or injurious monopolIes shall
distress or burden the people, and 1t
will make this government in the fu-
turc, as It is now and mas been In the
past under its benehclent policy and
superior genius. the idol Of its own cit
liens and the admiration Of the whole
civilized world"
The resolutions were read and adopt
ed with a hurrah and the convention
adjourned sine die.
