That the Republicans of the First
Assembly district of Jefferson county,
in convention assembled, hereby en-
dorse the administration of William
Mckinley as being wise and patriotic
In the treatment of the unexpected
questions that have arisen during his
administration. We endorse his re-
nom nation as we do the nomination
| OF Theodore Roosevelt for vice presi-
| dent.
We also heartily endorse the admin
istration of Governor Sco6eld and his
associate officers in the state govern
ment. The excellence of their labors
IN the conduct of the state affairs not
only reflects great credit upon them
selves, but upon the Republican party
as well. We further believe that the
efforts of said associate officers are
entitled to endorsement from the Re-
publican party in the shape of reuom-
lnatlon to their. respective offices for
another term, and TO that end the
delegates are hereby instructed to
work for their denomination.
We regret the retirement of Hon.
John G. Spooner from public life, as
he has by his able aud brilliant SER
vices been credit to the state. He
Is peerless as senator and a worthy
successor to the lamented Howe, Doc
little and Carpenter, which quartette
Will live forever in their country's
history as among the ablest men of
their day.
