n President Mckinley has conducted the
distinguished credit to the American
people. In releasing US from the vexa-
tious conditions of European ALLIANCES
for the government Of Samoa, his course
Is especially TO be commended: By
securing 60 our undivided control the
most important island OF the Samoan
group and the best hnrbor IN the South
ern Pacific, ever ~ American interest has
been safegua rded.
The provi sions Of The Hague conven-
ton were wisely regarded when Presi-
dent Mckinley rendered his friendly
offices In the interest Of peace iIetween
Great Britain and the South African
republics. While the American govern
ment must continue the policy pre-
scribed by Washington, affirmed by every
succeeding President, and imposed upon
Us The liauge treaty, OF non Intervention
In European controversies, the American
people earnestly hope that way may
soon be found, honorable alike TO both
contending parties, to terminate the
strife between them.
In accepting by the treaty of Paris the
just responsibility Of our Victories in the
Spanish war, the President and 1.-THE
senate won the undoubtful approval OF
the American people. NO other course
was possible than to destroy SPANS
sovereignty throughout the West Indies
and In the Philippine islands. That
course created our responsibility before
the world and with the unorganized
population whom our intervention had
freed from spain, to provide for the
maintenance OF law and order, and for
the establishment OF good government
and for the performance OF international
obligations. Our authority could not be
less than our responsibility and wherever
sovereign rights were extended IL became
the high duty of the government TO main
tn mt
instruction and to confer the blessings
OF liberty and civilization upon all the
rescued peoples. The largest measure of
self government consistent with their
welfare and our duties shall be secured
to them by law. 10 Cuba independence
and self government were assured in the
same voice by which war was declared
and to the letter this pledge shall 10
performed.
The Republican party upon its history
and upon this declaration of its princi-
Piles and policies confidently invokes the
considerable and approving judgment OF
the American people.
