The national administration is in
dorsed in the following paragraphs:
I'VE. express our confidence in the
Mckinley and the high qualities of
craftsmanship with which he has i'm
pressed them on his administration. He
has enforced an efficient conduct of at
fairs in every department Of the gov
eminent; he has seconded the diplo-
matte service SO as to win for the
United States the respect and admira-
ton of foreign nations.
THE recent war with Spain, which
was necessitated by humanity, has been
overwhelmingly vindicated by the re-
suits SO speedily and splendidly at
tanned.
1--WE recommend the tact, the patience.
the skill and the statesmanlike spirit
with which the president has ap-
preached the perplexing problems aris-
ing from the war. Under the treaty
with Spain the law of nations put upon
the United States the responsibility for
the peace and security of life and prop
erty, the well being and future govern
ment of the Philippine islands; accept
ing this responsibility, it is our pro-
found trust that the present hostilities
can be brought to an early termination
and that congress, guided by wise and
patriotic administration, will establish
and maintain in this nation, hitherto
the home of tyrants, a government as
free. as liberal and as progressive as
our own
The administration of the navy de-
partment by Secretary Long is particu-
larly commended.

I'VE condemn the depriving of any

due process Of law and We especially
condemn the unwarranted lynching of
colored citizens in other states
I'VE affirm anew our support of APP
propriate legislation to secure protec-
ton by law for life and property for
every citizen of the United States, with
out regard to race or color" @g
