at the polls.
The republican party of Butte City IN
conv vention assembled, does enthusiast
cally declare it's allegiance to the wise anu
patriotic administration OF William NC
Kinlep. We do most heartily endorse the
idea of expansion and declare that II Is
our belief that the islands OF the sea
brought under our sovereignty can be
wisely governed by this. the greatest and
best government on earth. That the pest
interests of our possessions will be SUP
served by carrying them our benign laws,
aour scheme of public education, ana our
fsystem of enlightened liberty. That py
retaining the territory wrested from tyr
annical Spain in the successful prosecu-
tion Of a war waged in the interest or nu-
man rights. we not only assist these mere
tofore unenlightened peoples. but open up
markets, encourage commerce, ana ex-
tend our trade and thus aid the western
states in the enjoyment of that great
prosperity brought back to the nation Oy
the present wise and able republican ad-
ministration: and that we have unbound
ed confidence and trust that the republic
lean party can successfully formulate ana
carry out such plan of government FOR
benefit to the inhabitants thereof.
li Realizing that whenever there is any
wise and beneficial policy to be inau-
gurated and carried to effect in this
/ country. and for this country. the re-
publican party must do it. We coni-
IDENTIFY proclaim that the republican
party of the nation will more rapidly
advance the interests of silver than the
discordant and divided cohorts who,
under various banners, now pretend to
advocate the free coinage of silver IN
the west. gold standard in the east,
and all. with one object in view--to de-
ceive the people, achieve Office and Of
fetal spoils.
Confident that the good name or the
state will best be served by the an
Inouncement to the state and nation that
the good conscience of Butte has once
more redeemed the city from democratic
misrule, we urge upon all good citizens
. who believe in the enforcement of law,
that it is their duty to rise in their might
and proclaim their liberty by voting the
republican ticket, and we pledge the
+ nominees Of this convention to act when
elected, for the best interest OF all the peo-
pie, and to provide a progressive ana SEN
! sible administration of municipal affairs
And that the sanitary conditions OF the
city shall be improved and all laws anc
e regulations looking to the maintenance
= of the health of our citizens be rigldly en-
forced.
I We realize that the laborer is worth,
of his hire and we note with approval tn
= we'll organized and orderly conducted
campaigns that are carried on by tn
unions of this city for a more equitabl
d adjustment of their hours of labor.
The republican party of this city
county and state have always stood TO

democratic disposition to colonize elec

of money and gold bricks

democratic party whose political histor
and conduct, whether acting jointly o
% severally, has been stain and reproac
a tupon the fair name and fame of Mon
