Endorse the President

Endorse the President.
I'VE reaffirm our adherence to princi-
pies and to policies proclaimed by the
last national Republican convention
except as to the civil service. We regard
it as settled beyond dispute that the
maintenance of a sound currency
through Republican administration and
legislation is the foundation upon
which rests the most remarkable period
of industrial progress. commercial ac-
tivity and general prosperity within
the experience of the people of the
United States. We commend the pres
ent amendment of the civil service
rules by the president and declare our
belief that further notifications of eX-
listing civil service legislation may be
made with advantage to the public
service"
A large part of the platform is de-
voted to denunciation of the GOebel
election law, the McChord railway law,
and other Democratic measures passed
over the governors veto. The admin
istration of Governor Bradley is warm
ly commended.
Before the call of districts for the
nomination for governor, Captain S.
Is. Stone took the platform and
created a most exciting scene by with
drawing his name and presenting the
name of W. S. Taylor. Then Judge
Clifton ]. Pratt the other candidate
for governor followed Stone in another
stirring speech of withdrawal and
seconded the nomination of Taylor,
which was made unanimous amid the
widest scenes.
When the committee escorted Gen.
eral Taylor to the hall there was an
other great demonstration. General

commissioner of agriculture.
Some of the negroes of Lexington are

General Taylor for governor. and an
effort will be made by them to defeat
him. A number of prominent negroes

cent of miners who strike do so of their
own free will. He said he did not believe

tigate the Occur dAlene mining troubles
