in this convention assemblies, at Scran-
ton, hereby renew our allegiance to the
Republican party, whose principles and
tenets have already made brilliant her

the American people and held the ad-
miratiOn of the world.
We pay our tribute of respect and ad-
miratiOn to the wise craftsmanship of
our president, William Mckinley, in the
trying times through which our coun-

mastery hand has so guided the shir

lowering clouds. as to reflect honor
upon our people and our country.
There has been but one course oper
to our government, consistent with
American manhood and our progress.

memorable naval battle won by the
brilliant and intrepid Dewey in Manila
bay. And we commend the policy pur.
sued by our president toward the Phil.

We congratulate our party, and tn
nation, for the wisdom and discretion
which has attended the action of boil
houses of congress in the liberal, logi
