Republican Program.
Southern Representation in Federal
Affairs to Be Reduced.

That Will be Practical Acquiescence
in the Disfranchisement of the
Negroes Of the South.
Boston, Mass, Feb. PA special
to the Transcript from Washington
says:
The great question of domestic
policy of the next congress has, for
good reasons thus far, been kept out
of the newspapers. The secret need
no longer be guarded, however, now
that it is the intention Of the Repub-
lican leaders to scale down The repre-
sentation of the Southern states in
congress and in the electoral college,
to correspond to the percentage Of
the male population of these states,
which is disfranchised.
This is in accordance with pro
vision of the fourteenth amendment
of the constitution which has hereto
fore been allowed to become a dead
letter. The time is believed to be
absolutely ripe for taking this step.
It is through the Federal census
that such a corrected apportionment
can be made, and now that the
twelfth decennial enumeration is
about to be taken, the Republicans
find themselves in control of the
House, Senate and Presidency. Re.
publican leaders have been keeping
very quiet as to their purpose in this
regard. They did not dare to say
anything about it before the elections
in November because had their cleo
tions turned out unfavorably the
Democrats would have had them.
Now they are in position to
weigh the losses and gains and act
accordingly. Nothing could be more
history-making in its importance
than Republican acquiescence in the
disfranchisement of the negro. 1t
would revolutionize the rotations of
the two parties in congress and in
the electoral college,"

Whisky and snakebite.

Another popular delusion is shat

a United States government expert,
says that whisky, instead of being
an antidote for snakebites, according
to the general belief, is really an ag-
grayation of the trouble, as it accel-
crates the circulation of the blood
and hurries the poison through the
veins and arteries with creates rapid
itv than it would otherwise have.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET,
PLATFORM.

The Republican party of
Sedgwick county respectfully
and briefly states its convic-
tons upon the, questions of
public interest.
1t has full confidence in the
integrity, craftsmanship and
high purposes of WILLIAM
MCKINLEY, president of the
United States. 1t is our be-
lief that his administration
has added to the renown and
stability of Republican insti-
tutions and forms of govern.
ment at home and abroad:
that its influence marks the
beginning of a new era in
which humanity has been ad.
vanced to a higher plane, at
home and in the nations of
the world: that his admins.
tratiOn has restored national
prosperity, and we agree with
the words of the great Demo.
cratic New York World, 1T is

try" that it has placed the
country where Of right If
properly belongs-the leader
among the powers of the
world.
That the administration of
the affairs of this state, now
in the hands of the Republi.
can party, with a citizen of
our own county, the Hon. w.
E. Stanley, as chief executive.
is capable, clean, deserving
of, and does, receive our most
cordial endorsement.
With intense satisfaction
we commend the glorious rec.
ord made by our army and
navy and the unexampled
gallantry Of General Funston
and our Kansas volunteers in
the Philippine campaign.
1t Is our deliberate convic.
ton that when on that Nav
morning a year ago Dewey
sailed into Manila bay and
won the greatest naval vic.
tory of modern times, the
American flag was, in accord.
Rnce with the laws of every
civilized nation, and in accord.
Rnce with the express desire

placed upon the Philippine
Islands. That this right has
been recognized by every civil
lied power, ratified by the sen.
ate of this country by solemn
treaty with the power recog,
nized by the world as the ma.
ton owning the Philippines.
That our right to be there
and oppose armed insurrec-
ton is no longer a party ques-
ton; to uphold the govern.

ment so long as armed forces
are opposing it in its efforts
to establish a stable govern
ment there, is loyalty; to op
pose it is disloyality. We
condemn and denounce the
unpatriotic and un-American
utterances of all who are Civ.
ing encouragement to the Fill
pinos in their resistance to
the American flag. Never yet
has the old flag retreate
before any armed foe, and
wherever raised there it must
stay.
The aggregation in this
county known as the Fusion
party is neither moved by,
Tor in possession of, a con-
viction or moral principle.
1t has abandoned every issue
which brought it into life
save the greed for Office, and
it now seeks by having it's
platform of treason adopted
by the people of this county
to bring the fair name and
fame of Sedgwick county into
d isrepute and to disgrace the
name Of the gallant soldier
which it bears.
We are opposed to aggre-
gated capital, whether organ
lied in the form of trusts,
corporations or otherwise for
the purpose Of controlling
the industrial affairs of the
people, and we demand of
our party in this state and in
the nation such legislation
which will at all times be for
the best interests of all the
people. That it is our con.
viction that every great ques-
ton in which the people of
this country have been inter
ested has been in the past
and will be in the future,
settled in the interest Of the
people, by that genius of
Justice and right which pre-
walls in and which brought
the Republican party into
existence; that it has the
ability and integrity to prop
erly settle and adjust the
relations of capital and labor
in the interest of the people.
