Of the affairs Of the island possessions,
and until there is such evidence present
dhg itself that the people of these islands
erre capable of establishing stable gov
ornament, protecting the lives and the
property of the citizens thereof, we are
in favor Of governing them without the
consent of any other nation on earth and
without the consent Of the demagOgues
ar insurgent sympathizers at home,
lose argument since the days of 1854
has ever been an agonized howl against
progress and patriotism.
We believe that the Republican party
Of this country has within its ranks more
of the plain, common people who have
more good sense than any party now or
ganized, and that they have the good
sense 70 see that William Mckinley, SOL
der and citizen. VIII stand by this coUn-
try, its institutions its people and its
fag and that in his hands the republic
Is safe, that he thinks as much Of it now
as he did at the time when he stood up
at Cedar creek and with musket in hand
fought for constitutional liberty.
That it is the Judgment of the Repub
lican party Of Sedgwick county that the
request made by the ex-Union soldiers of
this country for the removal Of II. Clay
Evans from the Office Of pension commits
eioner and for the removal of the board
Of review in the pension Office, should be
compiled with.
We charge the management Of the bus
mess Of this county by the present board
Of county commissioners as being a
wasteful, extravagant expenditure Of
public moneys, a large proportion Of
which has been for purely political pur-
poses.
