! These resolutions were passed:
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
/ that administration of that patriotic
statesman, VIM. Mckinley. and declare
that we demand his denomination for
president, which we believe will result in
his triumphal reelection.
THAT we are also proud of the sta e
administration under Governor w. z.
Stanley, and his associates, whereby the
state is redeemed from corrupt anu de-
bauching practices, by incapable iule of
men placed in Office by blgating and I'M
holy fusion, and hereby instruct the Gee
gates to the state convention from this
county to support our present elective
state officers. from governor down. and
as our victory of two years ago was
largely aided by the good management of
Morton Albaugh, chairman Of the state
committee, we instruct said delegates 10
support him to be continued as such
chairman.
THAT we hereby endorse the wise and
patriotic course of United States Senator
Lucien Baker and Hon Chester l. Long
in the congress of the United States, and
declare it is our opinion they should be
continued in their respective places, and
to this end we instruct the delegates to
the congressional convention at Hutch
aF he
Hon. Chester L. Long as congressman
from the Seventh congressional district
of Kansas.
There being some time at the disposal
of the convention after the appointment
of committees, Judge T. B. Wall of
Wichita was called upon for a speech.

ment ever founded among men. In the
history of all the past the pages writ en-
by the American nation are the brightest
and even the enemy must admit that
the brightest pages of our history were
written by the Republican party.
THE national convention four years
ago was confronted with the question
whether this country should sink to the
level of Organism CT be elevated 10 a po-
sition as one of the great powers. The
flag had been hauled down in Hawaii.
You remember the American flag was
not respected, and the United States was
not considered among the first-class
powers Of the earth-the shadow Of want
and discomfort brooded over the land.
But no sooner had VIM. Mckinley been
elected than industry seemed 10 have a
magic wand waved over il. All gloomy
predictions of the opposition have been
dispelled. Nevertheless, today we are op-
posed by the same old fusion aggrega-
tion-not simon pure Democracy nor gen
uine Populism-but a something that can
only be described as Organism. It is
made Up OF the vices OF the Democrats
and the vices of Pooulism with all the
good Qualities left out
Two years ago this district in which
the people have more gray matter in
their craniums than any other congress
sional district in the United States. was
represented in congress by that apostle
of despair, Jerry Simpson. We promised
to redeem the district and nominated the
gallant young statesman, Chester l.
