the convention ~ delegate from that
precinct, aud the convention 80 Or
dered.
The temporary organization was
made permanent with the addition Of
John l.. Murray as assistant secretary,
aud the order of business adopted is
indicated by the report of the couven.
TONS proceedings.
Following is the platform:
Four years ago the Republicans of San
Juan county met to cOndole with one an
other over universal calamity and despair
under Democratic rule. Today we meet
happiness under Republican rule: We
need no instructor to teach US which Is
best for us and for all the people. Demo-
cratic theories become dangerous when
coupled with political power; and they
are not improved by mongrel mixture of
Free Silver and POPulistic vagaries,
They can be rendered harmless only by
maintaining Republican rule in Nation,
State and County, and to such MAIN
tenance we pledge our strongest effort.
We are proud of President Mckinley
and endorse his able, fearless and patri-
otic administration. We rejoice that he Is
again our standard bearer and will con-
and happy people. He has fully redeemed
the ante-election pledges Of his party.
Under his leadership, PROTECTION
and RECIPROCITY have again been re-
stored to their proper place in public law;
the Hawaiian islands have become part OF
the Union; Spain has been compelled to
lift her heavy hand from on the western
Porto Rico is happy under our flag; the
Philippines are rapidly learning to ap-
Dreciste and accept that kind OF liberty
which is known and understood only by
the American people; our army and navy
| have been ably sustained; the honor Of
our flag has been maintained at home and
abroad: the Democratic heresy OF free
silver has been put to sleep by Republi-
can Congress, and the GOLD STAN
DARD, for which the Republicans Of San
Juan have always unwaveringly stood,
has been re-sffirmed in the. most positive
and satisfactory manner; our country's
credit has been made better than ever be-
| fore, and better than that Of any other ma
tiUn on earth; the sun Of prosperity has
driven away the clouds of despair and the
civilized world acknowledges and ap-
plauds the glory and honor which nave
crowned the nation. This record ought
to be satisfactory to every patriotic Amer
| Jean. ,
nomination OF Governor Roosevelt fol
| yice-president. He has contributed much
to the success and glory of the first term
OF President Mckinley and will add both
strength and honor to the next.
| We endorse the Republican Natiosn
platform and the platform OF the last Re-
publican State Convention at EllensburG
and commend them to the voters OF this
county as able expOsitions OF Republican
do ,trine and of correct public policy.
| We still stand for loyalty to the flag
| for the gold standard Of value for all oul
/ money: for Protection and Reciprocity
| for the Nicaraguan canal, owned, oper'
ated and defended by the United States
| for the further enlargement Of our trade
and commerce.; for such Discrimination
and national aid as shall speedily resul
