Boise, Idaho, July 18-The republican
state convention adjourned late this
afternoon after a most harmonious two
days SESSION There were no contests
on h floor excepting over attorney
general n mining inspector. The fol-
lowing is the full text of the republican
platform:
THE republican party of idaho q in
convention assembled renews it's alIeg-
ance to the principles of republication,
and declares it's unqualified approval of
the national platform adopted at Phil
adelphia. its adherence to the princi-
pies represented by the official acts of
the administration of William McKin-
ley and pledges itself to the support of
the same. a.
IA new and momentous situation hav-
ing arisen in China since the meeting of
the national republican convention, we
express our utmost confidence in the
ability and ulpos of the republican
party to settle this question upon that
high plane of craftsmanship which has
characterized every act of the present
national administration.
I'VE are IN favor of amending the con-
situation of the United States so as to
give congress the power more fally to
regulate and suppress trusts, and we
the action of the democratic
party in the present congress, who by
NhAN otSSs 90 liz pItpoSlllo14 "
T submit such an amendment to the peo-
pie of the United States for their rati-
fication.
The present history of the republican
party and it's record in this state is a suf-
ficient guarantee that life and property
will be protected and obedience to law
enforced upon all alike through the es-
tablished forms of law. hat no man
shall be deprived of life, liberty or prop
erty without u process of law;nor shall
the right OF any man to seek and obtain,
or contract for labor or employment
in accordance with Law be in any wise
curtailed or interfered with.
1--WE condemn the policy of the present
administration whereby it has sought to
deprive a large number Of honest settlers
in the northern part of the state of their
lands taken up Under the homestead
laws of the United States and which has
further resulted in them losing to tine
state thousands Of acres of valuable
timber lands.
w condemn the policy Of the present
state administration in converting the
boards in control Of the various state in
stitutions into partisan political ma
chimes indirectly, and the republican
party pledges itself to place these in
situations in the hands Of those who viii
conduct them solely for the purpose Of
the public good and not in the interest OF
any political organization.
w remember with feelings Of graft
tude and pride the gallant and patriotic
services rendered to our country by the
brave lunte soldiers from Idaho and
glory in their deeds of valor and faith
fulness to their call to duty. Gmt
