We unreservedly indorse and approve
the work OF Senator Addison G. Foster

have proven themselves more than
equal to the burden imposed by their
selection to the high offices which they

their effective efforts regarding recla-

settlers within forest reserves.
With over two billion dollars of for

TOUR years ago. the Republicans Of
Washington met to mourn over
universal calamity and despair
under Democratic rule. Today we
meet to rejoice over. universal pros
perity and happiness under Republican
rule. Democratic theories become
dangerous when coupled with political
power: and they are not improved by
mongrel mixture of free silver and
Populistic vaRaries. They can be
rendered harmless only by maintaining
Republican rule In nation, state. and
county; and to such maintenance we
pledge our strongest effort.
We are proud of President McKin-
ley and indorse his able. fearless and
patriotic administration. We rejoice
that he is again our standard-bearer
and will continue to be the honored
chief of prosperous and happy peo-
pie. He has fully redeemed the ante
election pledges of his party Under
his leadership protection and recfpro-
city have again been restored to their
proper place in public law: the Hawa-
Han islands have become part of the
Union; Spain has been compelled to
lift her heavy hand from of the West
ern hemisphere; Cuba has been made
free; Puerto Rico is happy under our
flag; the Philippines are rapidly learn
ing to appreciate and accept that kind
OF liberty which is known and under
stood only by the American people;
our army and navy have been ably
. sustained: the honor of our flag has
been maintained at home and ABROAD;
the Democratic heresy of free silver
has been put to sleep by Republican
congress, and the gold standard has
been reaffirmed in the most positive
and satisfactory manner: our country's
credit has been made better than ever
before. and better than that of any
