Republican Convention.

There was no question as to the
nomination of President Mckinley
that matter having been long ago
fully settled, but the contest, over
the candidate for Vice President
while earnest and divided with sew
eral available names was not acri-
monious. The prevailing idea seem
ed to be to select statesman of
acknowledged ability and availibil-
ity, and, with the number who fair
ly met these requirements it be
came also a question as to who would
be strongest in New York and the
west. The sentiment for Governor
Roosevelt, of New York, grew
strong, and had he consented to al
low the use of his name the matter
would have been determined in ad-
vance. He halted but fiually the
pressure became so strong that he
was compelled to yield whereupon
all of the candidates withdrew and
both Mckinley and Roosevelt were
nominated by acclamation.
The platform adopted embodies
the following leading points. A
lessening of war taxes which bear on
the masses. Legislation to foster
trade in the far East and maintain
the open door.
Laws to prevent monopolies urged
AID combinations to control prices
condemned.
A steadfast adherance to the
Monroe Doctrine. ~
Independence and self govern.
ment will be given Cuba as promis-
ed.
The largest measure of self gov.
eminent for the Philippines con
sistent with their welfare and our
duties.
The construction of the Isthmus
canal and control by the govern
ment.
Attempts to nullify franchise on
account of color called revolution
ary and condemned.
The platform is invincible and
with the men upon it will sweep the
country.

Free Pictures Every Week.

The appreciation of the recent pict-
ures given free to readers of the great
"Philadelphia Sunday Press" has in
duced the management of that paper
to announce that a beautiful picture
will be given with every copy of the
"Philadelphia Sunday Press" every
Sunday. The assurance is also given
this series of pictures will be the most
magnificent ever distributed. The
subjects are all original and by the
highest class of artists.
The picture for next Sunday, June
2l, will be a decided novelty. 1t will
be 14X20 inches in size and its prom
inent feature will be a reproduction
of Percy MOran's famous water color,
''The Ideal Summer Girl" Every
body knows Moran and his Summer
girls, so that this picture is certain to
be immensely popular. 1t will have
added value to the fact that in one
corner will appear an artistic calen-
der for July, something that every
body will prize. 1t will be well to
order next Sundays "Press" early.
