PLATFORM.

The Republican party of
Eedgwick county respectfully
and briefly states its convic-
tions upon the questions of
public interest.
It 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 adj
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, ut is
a good time in a good coun-
try" that it has placed the
country where of right it
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 MAY
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.
ance with the laws of every
civilized nation, and in accord,
ance with the express desire.
as it is written in the march
of human events, of an over.
ruling Providence, rightly
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 insured
ton is no longer a party ques-
ton; to uphold the govern.
ment so long as armed forces
are opposing it in its efforts
