THE PLATFORM.
/ w. A. Anderson, for the Committee
/ on Platform and Resolutions, report
/ ed as follows:
/ The Republican party of the city
of Sacramento represented in con-
Vention declares:
That the Republican party has
always been, and now is, for ma
tionaI honor, the protection of
! American industries American in
] COuSuIuu1aL1On
/ OF the grand American idea of
! progress.
We hold to the principle that the
American flag shall never be hauled
down upon lands lawfully acquired
by the valor Of our soldiers and
sailors.
/ We are steadfast in our belief
that it is better to expand than to
/ shrivel. Trade and commerce fol-
/ lows our flag, and that flag must
! afford protection to both. The as
! saults upon the Administration by
| the opposition are destructive of
/ our national prosperity at home
and national honor abroad.
1t has been the policy of this ma
ton from time to time to place un-
/ der our flag empires larger than
/ those Of Western Europe. Our in
| stitutions, our people, our great en-
! terprise demand more room. Con-
stitutionS can be expanded by the
/ will Of the people. despite the hiss
/ of the modern "copperhead" and
/ the wall of modern "dough-face."
We emphatically indorse the Ad-
! ministration Of President William
Mckinley. From the Democracy,
| the party of negatives and political
! heresies this nation inherited hard
| times and distress: but, under Re-
! publican rule, these are now only a
| memory. Remarkable prosperity
/ has marked this era; commerce,
| manufacture and enterprise are in
the ascendant; ample employment
| for labor and high wages are the
/ order This condition demonstrates
that high prices constitute the
/ handmade to high wages.
There is no place in this nation
for those who are reckless of our
national honor. or those who de-
mand return to the old heresies
which will bring disorder in our
commercial and business affairs,
and bring disgrace and dishonor
to our country. There is no room
for the party which would haul
down the American flag where it
has now been unfurled.
We denounce as unfair and un-
statesmanlike the course of Dem
ocratic orators and Democratic
newspapers to cripple the arm of
the Administration by associating
and confounding Imperialism with
expansion. No American can be
an imperialist. We have extended
the national domain, vlndicated and
established the national honor
among the Powers of the world
without the slightest sentiment of
imperialism.
We indorse the efforts of Senator
George c. Perkins in support of
President Mckinley in his broad
and liberal policy, and as a faith
ful representative of our State.
We commend Governor Henry r.
Gage for his vigilance and care in
the conduct OF our State institu-
tions, and for the principles of
economy which thus far charac-
terizes his administration
We pledge our candidate for
Mayor and our nominees for Trus-
tees to the lowest possible rate of
taxation commensurate with the
conduct Of public affairs; and pledge
all our candidates to the strictest
economy in the administration of
their respective offices.
We pledge our candidates for
School Directors to economy and
reform in the school department.
and deem the erection of a new
High School building an act of
economy in the broadest sense of
the word.
A better and purer supply of
