The matter of preparing a. State
platform was deferred until thehext
convention, but platform of
Principles" was adopted which will
furnish interesting reading for men
Of all parties. BY some strange
oversight no mention is made of the
herculean efforts of Mr.. Mckinley to
"free the slaves" in Porto Rico and
the Philippines, but the good things
for which be is given credit are suffi
cient, and will be pondered over by
all thoughtful voters. They are as
as follows:
History has once again demon
strated the wisdom OF the Republi-
can policy. and the patriotism OF the
Republican party. Nowhere is there
to be found a more complete vindi-
cation of a man or Of principle than
that which followed the election of
President William Mckinley.
"No more utter overthrow ever
swept a great party into ignominy
than that which has overtaken the
Democrats. In the year 1892 the
people put them in complete con-
troll OF the Legislative and Executive
branches of the Government for the
first time in q generation, and they
Immediately put their policy into
effect, with the result that has fol.
lowed free trade and Democratic in
competency every time they have
been tried. II brought on a crash
that shook the financial world to its
foundation stones, crushed rich and
poor alike, beggared the American
farmer, completely overthrow Amer.
lean industry and made tramps of
many American mechanics. Eng
land, France and Germany, even
Spain, were running their shops day
and night, while those Of this coun-
try stood idle or we're operated at
loss.
"Mr. Bryan and his class said all
this ruin came from o Democratic
mistake, but he promised to bring in
new kind of Democracy, with
patent system of finance which
would make every man rich whether
he worked or not, and every body
happy by the scratch of a pen. He
pledged his word OF honor that his
was the only way to restore trade
and bring back the good old times.
The issue was clearly made and the
result is before us. The Democrats
can only escape it by completely
overthrowing all logic, history, SCI
ence, and truth. Not single one
of their evil prophecies has ever been
realized; no part of the Union has
responded to their dismal hopes. In
Clevelapd's time over 40 per cent of
American laborers we're idle, but now
all are busy except four per cent,
and they have offers every day at
advanced wages. No class of citi-
zens has been left out in the msgnifi.
cent and wonderful revival of pros
perity which has swept into sweet
forgetfulness all the mysery, hunger
aud despair of the previous four
years. We can plainly see now that
If Bryan had been elected it would
have meant the same old free trade
