Peoria. May 9.--When the republican
convention reassembled this morning the
committee on credentials reported in ia
vor of seating the majority of the Gull
lom contesting delegates. The report was
adopted without opposition. The COM
mittee on permanent organization re-
ported for permanent chairman ex-Gov-
ernor Joseph w. Fifer, and he was elect
ed by acclamation. Fifer made an elo-
ouent speech, extolling the Mckinley ad-
ministration and appealing to the llli-
nois republicans to act in harmony.
Congressman Hopkins read the report
of the committee on resolutions. Ihe
resolutions reaffrm the principles OF the
national platform OF 1896 and contrast
1.-The present happy and prosperous con-
dition of the American people with their
condition under democratic rule. The
platform continues:
"Our foreign commerce under demo-
cratic administration was much crippled
by the repeal of the reciprocity section OF
the Mckinley law and the substitution
of free trade principles for protection
given to American Industries and labor
under republican legislation has been re-
habiltated under the present republican
administration, and a ready market is
now found for the surplus productions
of our farms and factories in foreign
ports and our export trade is the largest
known in our history. We congratulate
the people of the country upon the en-
actment into a law of the currency bill,
which provides the gold standard as the
monetary unit of value. Financial dis
turbances no longer disturb the business
conditions of our people, and all busi-
ness transactions have been placed on q
basis that insures protection to capital
and encouragement to the employment
of labor '=..'5 s#.s..
In obedience to the demands of hu-
rmanity and in accordance with the SEN
timent of the people of this country, ir-
respective of political party, the present
republican administration put an end to
the evils of Spanish misrule in the West
ern hemisphere. The Spanish-American n
war was declared in obedience to the
universal demands of the people. It was
conducted under republican admins
tration and the splendid achievements of
our soldiers and sailors in that war
formed some of the brightest pages in
American history. Cuba has been made
free from Spanish misrule and d stable
government established there.
The Porto Rico and Philippine Islands
have become the possession of the United
