led the opposition, moved to seat dele

General Grosvenor reported the
platform which was adopted:
We cordially endorse the wise
and patriotic administration of
President Mckinley, whose signal
achievements in war and peace, states
manship and diplomacy mark an epoch
in the history of the nation, and whose
brilliant success justifies and demands,
In the highest interests of the coun-
try, uninterrupted continuance, Through
another term, Of his great but uncom-
pleted work. t
Every pledge of his administration
has been faithfully redeemed,
1t dispelled long business depres-
sion, restored protection to American
labor and industry, re-awakened uni
versal confidence, re-established pros
perity unparalleled, assured to labor
the steadiest employment and highest
pay, opened new fields of enterprise
and new markets for trade. 1t brought
to agriculture better condition than
for many years, fixed the gold stand
ard upon the firm foundations of law,
made our national currency larger in
volume and sure in value, lifted our
national credit to the highest plane
any nation ever reached. In the |
broader tleld of world duty and in
huence 1t met an unavoidable war for |
humanity with unequalled vigor and |
success, crowned the matchless
triumph of our arms on sea and land,
with the courageous acceptance of its
high and solemn obligations; faith
fully studied and sought equally the
true honor of the nation and the
greatest good to the. peoples who
come under our flag and has through
wise use and expanded opportunity
led our country on the pathway of
greatness and renown.
We reaff1rm the principle in which
the republican party had its birth,
and on which Abraham Lincoln was
elected president, that the representa-
tives of the people have full power
over territory belonging to the United
States, in harmony with and subject
to the fundamental safeguards of our
free institutions, for liberty, justice
and personal rights
We have faith in American patrio-
tism, character and capacity, and we
know the American government will
extend the inestimable blessings of
our freedom, law and civilization to
the peoples brought under our pro-
lection. The sovereignty over the
Philippines must not be repudiated
and the high motive OF it's origin must
result in the establishment of peace,
order and the blessing of individual
liberty among the peoples of the Philip
pine Islands.
The republican party of Ohio stands
committed to legislative aand execu-
tive opposition of threating combina-
tions of capital and that seek to res
trict competition and stife independ-
ent producers; we invite within our
borders capitalistic investments ma
terial to the industrial development
rof the state, and the largest employ
ment of labor, but we insist that in
furious combinations shall be forbid
den and so-called trusts be SO regulat-
ed, from time to time, and be so res
tricted, as to guarantee immunity
from hurtful monopoly and assure
fair treatment and protection to all
competing industries.
