teach the people to trust and rely in our
plans and purposes. Now, it will be
campaign in which we will show what
has been accomplished, prophesies full
filled and PIECES redeemed, it will be

You will have a rapid protraiture, you

present as compared with the past and
whether this comparison be made by

(Applause.)
In 1886 we gave you an old representa-
tive slaye-holding state. By so doing,
we removed one charge against our par
ty, that it was sectional. The Ohio river
was crossed; Republieanism marched
southwark and this sectional line disap-
peared from the map. We will do it
again. (ApplauSe). We will still show the
the east that Republicanisn-to use
the language of our distinguished
chairman-means action and is always
moving forward. A Kentuckian, a
lover of my native state, believing in
the integrity and honesty of her citi-
zens, I have the fullest confidence in
them; believe they will make final re-
Spouse to every argument and that the
response will be made at our polls in
next November in eleeting electors to
vote for President William Mckinley
for reelection. (ApplauSe.)

Chinese Statesman Prevailed
Upon to Stay at Canton.

Hong Kong, June 21.-Reports have
been received here from Canton, that
owing to the representations of the for
eign consuls, Ii Hung Chang has con-
sented to remain in Canton.
JAPAN MUST ACT.
Yokohama June 21.-The reports of
the murder of foreign ministers at
Pekin and of the death Of Admiral Sey-
mOur, although viewed with suspicion,
have created a profound sensation. The
press expresses the opinion that Japan
must, with or without the consent or
the powers, adopt active measures. The
naval and military officers are very
busy. Probably the whole Hiroshima
division, under command of General
F'ukashima, will be afioat within few
days. The Russian cruiser Rurik has
arrived here with the new Russian min
lister to Japan and will leave for Taku
today.
SEYMOUR'S MARCH.
London, June 20.-A news agency dis
patch from Shanghai, dated June 20,
says:
After an arduous march and fire.
quent fighting with the Chinese, Vice
Admiral Seymour arrived at Pekin sun
day afternoon. On five occasions the
Chinese attacked the column in great
force. There were many mounted men
among the Chinese, but most of the ma
tives were badly armed At times they
fought with admirable courage and
bravery. The losses of the Chinese dur
ing the march are estimated at 500
killed. The losses of the foreigners were
trifiing.
THE exact state of affairs inside
Pekin it is impossible to describe in
view of the many conflicting reports,
nothing has been received from the
legations or foreigners there.
Surprise is expressed at the fact that
a large force of Indian troops has not
been ordered here

YERKES' REMARKS.
In Seconding the Nomination of
President Mckinley.

Convention Hall, Philadelphia, June
21.-Mr Yerkes of Kentucky in second
ing the nomination of President Nc
Kinley said:
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow Delegates:
The supreme thought in my mind at
this moment is what remains to be
said that ought to be said; and that in
time of danger ones thought naturally
turns to his home. I recall that in the
historic Philadelphia convention of 1856
hberty-loving men from my state sat as
delegates in that body. In contrast
with this immense audience this huge
hall with it's splendor of decoration and
its superb equipment, that gathering
would seem to be of small import but in
devotion to freedom, intensity and in
force of utterance, in eternal results that
assemblage has no peer in the history
of conventions. Forty years after that
body adjourned Kentucky for the first
time gave her electoral vote to Re
publican presidential candidate, Major
William Mckinley (applause). Recog-
nized as a citadel ofDemocracy she had
capitulated to the Republicans in the
noted state campaign of 1895. She was
Republican in 1896, is Republican to-
day (applause) and as such seconds this
nomination
1T would be, gentlemen, but a fitting
tribute to our president and to the in
dustrial, Diplomatic and martial vic
state placed the stamp of it's approval
upon his course of conduct; and if OPP
portunity were given there would join
in this majestic chorus of national en-
dorsement voices coming across the
waters from our new to our old shores
voices coming from our insular pos
sessions to this venerable city where
a nation was born and consec-ated
to liberty, to freedom and to independ
ence-and where more fitting place fer
this universal chorus to sound forth
than in this old time city?
Now, gentlemen, these voices that
would come from abroad would ring at
every home from which for the first
time the flag of freedom floats, and that
by the orders of our president. Fur
thermore, today they are linked to our
progress and to our destiny. and therein
stable government, domestic tranquil
ity and Christian civilization are as
sured to them; and just as Lincoln 8
name sounds to the emancipated slave
and his children SO the name of Presi-
dent Mckinley will be to those liber-
ated millions of political serfs. GAP

THE REPUBLIcAN PIATFoRM

The principles upon which the Repub-
ncan party viii go to the country and
ask an endorsement have been formula
ted and announced at Philadelphia. Re-
lance is placed largely upon the party
record in connection with the victories
in war and the revival in business and a
promised continuation of existing condi-
lions.
On the subject Of the currency the
platform says:
we rC ew our allegiance to the prin-
ciple Of the gold standard and declare
our confidence in the wisdom of the
legislation of the Fifty-sixth congress
by which the parity OF all our money
and the stability Of our currency on a
gold basis has been secured. We recog-
nize that the rates are a potent factor
in production and business activity and
for the purpose Of further eQualizing
and Of further lowering the rates of in
terest we favor such monetary legiSla-
tiOn as win enable the varying needs Of
the season and of all sections to be pro-
perly met in order that trade may be
evenly sustained, labor steadily employ
ed and commerce enlarged. The volume
Of money in circulation was never so
great per capita as 1t is today. We de-
clare our steadfast opposition to the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver"
The trust question is referred to as
follows:
we recognize the necessity and pro-
pr1ety Of the honest corporation of cap
ltal to meet new business conditions
and especially to extend our rapidly in
cleaslng foreign trade, but we condemn
all conspiracies and combinations in
tended to restrict business to create
monopOlies, to limit production or to
control prices and favor such legislation
as WI enectua1ly restrain and prevent
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1900-06-21

all such abuses, protect and promote
competition and secure the rights OF
production, laborers and all who are en-
gagged in industry and commerce"
The tariff utterance is found in the
following:
I'VE renew our faith in the policy of
protection of American labor In that
policy our industries have been estab-
lished, diversified and maintained. By
protecting the home market, the compe-
tition has been stimulated and produc-
ton cheapened. Opportunity to the in
ventive genius of our people has been
secured and wages in every department
of labor maintained at high rates, high
er now than ever before. always distin-
gushing our working people in their
better condition Of life from those of any
competing country, enjoying the bless
ing Of American common schools, secure
in the right OF self-g government and pro-
tected in the occupancy of their own
markets, their constantly increasing
knowledge and still have enabled them
finally to enter the markets of the
world. We favor the associated policy
of reciprocity SO directed as to open our
markets on favorable terms for what we
do not ourselves produce in return for
free foreign markets"
More effective restriction Of foreign
immigration is demanded.
Reference is made to the weakness of
American shipping interests but no en-
dorsement Of the Hanna-Payne ship
subsidy scheme appears.
The customary resolution in regard to
pensions appears.
The presidents policy regarding the
civil service is commended.
Southern methods OF eliminating the
negro vote are declared to be revolu-
tionary.
Improvement Of public highways is
endorsed to the extent of advising the
people and the states to do the work
themselves.
Extension of the rural free delivery is
favored; also reclamation of arid lands.
Promise Of statehood is held out to
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
Regarding reduction of war taxes the
platform says:
THE Dingley act amended to provide
sufficient revenue for the conduct of the
war has SO well performed it's work that
1t has been possible to reduce the war
debt in the sum of $40 900, 600. So ample
are the governments revenues, and Sc
great is the public confidence in the in
tegrity of its obligations that its newly
funded two per cent bonds sell at a
premium. The country is now justified
in expecting and it will be the policy OF
the Republican party to bring about a
reduction of the war taxes''
Government construction and owner
ship of the Nicaragua canal is favored
The reference to the colonial policy OF
the administration takes on an apollo
getic tone, but the promise of independ-
ence for Cuba is renewed.
On the whole the platform appears tc
be lacking in the old time ring and
bears evidence of hating and uncer-
tainty.

IN BLoUNT COUNT
Hon. John W. Tomlinson Made I 10
 Strong Speeches

Blountsville, March 2S-(special)- Hon. John w. Tomlinson spoke here las. night in his own interest, and J. H. Montgomery of Birmingham spoke for Stalhnss. The latter spoke first. When Mir. Tomlinson rose to speak, he was given an ovation by the large audience. Many students of the college were present, who gave the col lege yell, among them being MT. Davis of Gate City in AIT. Tomlinsons county.
 MT. Tomlinson, alluding to what Mir Montgomery had said about Stallings' life being a model for young men, said that there were many things in modern politics not worthy of being initiated by the young men. For instance he said, what about promising three men the same office and giving it to the fourth man?" MT. Tom linson's speech was clear and logical, and was enthusiastically received
 This morning MT. Tomlinson was request ed to address the students specially, and made short addres to them in the college chapel, before leaving for Hanceville, where he speaks today.
