The Platform.
Iowa Republicans, meeting in this, the
proudcst era o! the republic and state,
grateful for the services of its leaders and
proud of the prcemincnt position tn ey
hold in the councils of the nation and the
party, commend and indorse the Iowa dele
cation in both the senate and house of
represer tatives; they indorse and com
mend the wise and successful administra-
ton of Governor Leslie NJ Shaw in state
affairs; they have no other platform to
present for the present campaign than
the national platform of Philadelphia,
which meets with the unqualified approval
of Iowa Republicans. The Republicans
of Iowa have no apologies to make
for that platform nor for the candidates
who stand upon it, William Mckinley
and Theodore Roosevelt. 1t asks for those
candidates the support of every citizen
who has at heart the welfare of the re-
public. 1t asks for the nominees of
this convention not only the loyal support
of every Republican, but of every voter
of the state who desires the prosperity of
our people and the progress of the COM
mOnwealth.
The following additional resolutions
gere also adopted:
The Republicans of Iowa have assem-
bled this year under the shadow of great
sorrow, the death of our distinguished
fellow citizen, John Henry Gear. No man
in the state was closer to the hearts of the
people; no one in public life ever served
them more loyalty, faithfully and untir-
1ngly; no one was truer to every public
interest; no one more efficient and Jealous
IN the discharge of every duty. His pub
lie career forms part of the history of
Iowa, and in his death we recognize loss
to the state and nation.
In the remote east, among strange and
alien people, in scenes of terror and of peril,
Edwin II. COnger, a citizen of Iowa, is
now representing not only the honor of
his country, but the dignity and man
hood of the American people. His friends
and neighbors of whatever faith, earnestly
pray for the safety and immediate sue
cor of him and of his family, and that
the day may come speedily when
in his own home he may receive the
assurances of their constant sympathy
and their ever increasing intere st and re
gard.
