The republican convention met al
Boise on the 9TH and it was very
harmonious affair. John T. Nor
rison pulled the congressional nomi.
nation over Ex- governor Mcconnell.
There were practically no contests,
the nominations being made by ac-
clamatlon.
The platform reads follows:
The republican party of Idaho, in con.
vention assem- bled, renews its allegianc,
to the principles of republicanism. and de
clares its unqualified approval of the ma
tional platform adopted at Philadelphia
it's adherence to the principles represented
by the official acts of the administration
of VIM. Mckinley, and pledges itself t.
the support of the same.
A new and momeDtous situation hav
ing arisen in China since the meeting o
the national republican convention, W
4 ity and purpose of the republican part
to settle this question upon that higl
t plane of craftsmanship which has char
o acterized every act of the present nations

siitution of the United States SO as I
- give congress the power more fully
= regulate and suppress trusts, and we dt
j., nounce the action of the democrati
party in the present congress, who, b.
S their votes, defeated the proposition
submit such an amendment to the peopl
J of the United States for their ratifica
ton.
The past history of the republica
party, andits record in this state is a su
It ficient guarantee that public order wi

/ We condemn the policy of the presel
Is state administration whereby it hs
sought to deprive large number of hol

h state of their lands taken up under Il
homestead laws of the United States; III
= which has further resulted in losing
the state thousands of acres of valuap
timber lands.
III We condemn the policy Of the presei
)t state administration in converting Il
boards in control of the various state i
le stitutions into partisan political m
r chimes; and the republican party pledg
itself to place these institutions in tt
"a hands of those who will conduct the
Of solely for the public good and not in u
interest of any political organization.
e We remember with feelings OF gra
T. tude and pride the gallant patriotic Sc
vice rendered to our country by Il
