THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM


The delegates to the Republican
Convention assembled herewith, do
declare az follows:
Fret, We reafirm our allegiance to
Mark Hanna and Jehovah. and prom
ipe to stick by the former to the bitter
end.
We desire to call attention to the
fact that William Mckinley, during
the past four years, has been q faith
fnl servapt to every financial interest
IN the country. and has done every
thing that be has been told to do, and
We point to his record with pride as
being the greatest one yeti As an
instance Of bis fealty TO party inter
este, he has even placed ten thousand
Offices outside the civil service, where
they a be within reach Of all who
vote for the O.. o. p, without regard
to age, experience or previous ras-
cality.
Four years ago the whole country
was In a helpless financial condition,
due to the peace and plenty policy Of
the Democratic party. To-day we
have money to burn, and are burning
1t. As 3 proof Of this, we have only
TO call attention to the fact that we
are spending ten times as much az we
ever dared TO think OF before. -Four
years ago we were poor and respecta-
BILE. Now we are rich and reekIng,
not only with money, but blood.
We point with pride to our sue
cession Of victories on land and sea,
over people whom, while we may
never be able to ChristianIze them,
win be a good thing In the long run.
From diminutive Porto Rico we ex-
pect 10 reap q revenue large enough
TO buy all the stationery for the next
Republican Congress.
We desire to call attention TO the
faci that during The last year, In the
Philippines alone, we have practically
won a battle on every working day
and sometimes on Sundays.
We believe In extending the right
foot Of Anglo-Saxon fellowship to
every nation on earth that we can
s~ubjugate, and we lay our money and
our record at the feet Of the voting
population, in the firm belief that, by
seeing the former and ignoring the
latter, they viii help rs to reap the
profits for another four years to
come.
We love everybody-men, women
and children, pensioners, Plutocrats,
Philadelphians, hayseeds, wheelmen
and bosses. But, above all things, we
love and revere Mark Hanna. 1t is be
that made ne. Amen.-LVe.

BIG BOLTERs
From the Republican Top Ranks Wor-
rying the Manager.

From the Washington Times.
In nc recent Presidential campaign
have the Republican managers had
to face the embarrassment at the out
set caused by the lukewarmness OIL
outright bolt OF leaders OF great in.
fiuence as at present. The list OF big
Republicans who either have openly
declared against the ticket and policy
Of the party or have shown a lack Of
interest in the party's success con-
tains the names of ex-Presideni
Harrison, ex-speeker Reed, Senator
Wellington, OF Maryland, and ex.
Representative Henry U. johnson, Of
Indiana. No assurance has come
from either Of the two first named
that he viii contribute anything to
the reelection Of Mr.. Mckinley, and
the other two r in open revolt,
Gen. Harrison has immured himself
in the Businesses Of the Adirondacks,
and probably will not emerge from
his hiding place until the critical
stage Of the campaign has passed
The Republican managers apparently
have exhausted all their resourcesin
vain 10 extract from the former
President some word Of encourage
ment. Not since he denounced the
Oxnardized Porto Rloan bill has Gen.
Harrison been known to make any
comment upon the administrations
course or bis party's policies. Just
before he came East he was broadly
quoted as declaring that Indiana
would vote against Mr.. Mckinley, and
no authoritative denial of this declara-
tion has yet been obtained. 1t seems
that Mr.. Reed has promised to make
q few speeches in the Maine State
campaign, which closes in September,
but be has not pledged himself to ap-
pear on the stump as a pleader for
Mr.. Mckinley. Senator Wellington
has issued q statement avowing that
he lie unalterably opposed to imperial
ism, and saying further:
ST am opposed to President McKin-
ley because be has deceived me In
national affairs, and shall oppose his
re- election."
The Marylander is Of German ex-
traction, and wielda q tremendous in
huence with that element Of voters In
his State. Besides, he has a we'll
organized machine In Maryland, and
will operate through this to throw the
electoral vote Of that State for Bryan
and Stevenson. 1t 10 conceded that
his detection from Mckinley will
more than overcome whatever effect
he lukewarmness OF Mr.. German
may have upon the Democratic situa-
Ion in Maryland. Mr.. Johnson's per-
'onal following in Indiana is large and
oval, and there are few as powerful
in the country az he. Better
It'll, he is thoroughly familiar not
lone with the Indiana temperament,
'ut also with the "tricksu of the
ioosIer Republican politicians. Not
My bile eloquence and logic, there
ore, but also bis knowledge Of Re-
ublican election methods will be ]
urned to good account for the Demo
ratio ticket In Indiana. I
