The Courier. (Genoa, Nev.) 1899-1904, 1900-10-05


The delegated representatives of the Re
publican party of Nevada in deliberate con-
vention congratulate the people upon the
bright prospect that at the ensuing election
this State will be restored to its former proud
position in the national Republican family
and cordially invite all of our fellow citizens,
regardless of former political affiliations, to
cooperate with us in the attainment OF a
triumph which we sincerely believe will sub
stantiate industry in our commonwealth,
greatly benefit every citizen and subject.
AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
We unreservedly approve of the sagacious
and patriotic administration of President
Mckinley as being one of the most beneficent
and resplendent political epoches in our coun-
try's history. We invite comparison of it as
an administration of business capacity and
sound judgement with those of preceding
Democratic administrations of incompetency
and disaster. We call attention to its ability
in spreading prosperity throughout our great
Nation as it promised to do four years ago.
We refer with satisfaction to its uncompro-
missing fidelity in keeping with scrupulous
integrity its every pledge to the people. We
challenge the opinion of the civilized world
upon the dauntless courage and the unfalter-
ing patriotism with which it directed the war
against spain until cruelty and oppression
were swept from the isles of both the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans. We to-day thrill with ma
tonal pride as we see it steadfastly sustaining
our eountry's flag in the very heart of Asia as
an emblem of absolute safety to our Minister
in China and to our citizens soiourning in
that oriental land.
OUR NEW POSSESSIONS.

the sphere of human liberty, of the zone OF
law and order, of the field of commercial
activity, of the domain of literature, arts and
science, and of the en.nobling opportunities Of
liberal education, and so believing. we declare
ourselves to favor the retention of the terri
tory lately acquired by American valor in the
prosecution of righteous war. We strenu-
ously contend that its inhabitants shall, un-
der the tuteage of the United States, be in
strueted in the principles of orderly freedom
until properly prepared to participate with us
in self government. We condemn the pro-
posed policy of the Democratic party as being
one of humiliating cowardice and of retreat
from responsibilities which both national hon.
or and individual manhood demand that we
courageously meet and we Indignantly de
nounce the assertions OF the Democratic
party that the Republican party is committed
to policy of "imperialism" as being a shall
low political artifice and an objectionable re-
Election upon the integrity of political party
which has ever stood before the civilized
world as the champion of the weak and OPP
pressed. We earnestly protest against the
surrender of the Philippine Islands as being
both IA denial 70 their inhabitants of secure
government and an abandonment of region

agricultural and industrial development OF
the Pacific coast
PROTECTION.
We re-allirn our loyal adherence to the
great cardinal Republican doctrines of protec-
tlon to American labor industries and of com
marcial reciprocity and we cite the beneficial
results flowing from the Dingley law as the
latest unanswerable argument supporting the
wisdom OF these Republican principles. We
