"We, the republicans of the state of Wash

following declaration of principles:
I'VE indorse in its entirety the patriotic
and intelligent administration of President
Mckinley, and instruct the delegates selected
by this convention to cast the vote of the state
of Washington for his nomination. We in
dorse the course in congress of Washington's
republican senator, A. @. Foster, and Wash
lpgtOn's two republican representatives, w. L.
Jones and f. W. Cushman.
'We congratulate the country upon the re-
turn Of prosperity, following the re enactment
into law of the protective tariff principles of
the republican party.
I'VE indOrse the action of congress in hav-
ing enacted into law the existing gold stand
ard aud oppose the free coinage of SILVER
we congratulate the country upon the
fact that the present republican congress has
removed the monetary question from the
realm of doubt and uncertainty into that of
settled law.
"We adhere to the doctrine that the terri
tory acquired as the result of war with Spain
is under complete control of the government
OF the United States, and subject to such laws
as congress may from time to time enact We
favor the prompt establishment of such per-
manent government in this newly acquired
territory as will promote civilization, educa-
tion and commerce. In the formation of such
government We advocate the homerule prin-
clple We oppose any backward step on the
subject Of expansion.
I'VE favor the maintenance of an effective
national military organization, with an ade-
quate militia reserve in the several states. We
favor the further upbuilding and perfecting of
our already splendid navy. We favor the es-
tablishment of strong merchant marine,
which as a naval reserve, will be an aid to
commerce, and nursery of the navy in time
OF peace and a means of defense in time of
war.
Humanity is indebted to the American
soldiers and sailors for their valor and sacri-
fee in all our past wars and especially DO we
glory in the record of our own First Wash

Will Stick to Bryan,

On the other hand, the Herald's in
formant added, it was expected that a
large majority Of the members OF the
present democratic national committee
and other leaders, swept into power by
the Bryan campaign, would repudiate
Admiral Dewey's candidacy and would
adhere to the cause of William J Bryan,
The present national committee, having
been chosen at the Chicago convention,
which made Bryan it's candidate, will
expire at the meeting of the Kansas
City convention. They are Bryan's
friends. Many changes, if the plans of
Dewey's friends do not miscarry, will be
made in the new national committee,
which will have great influence over the
work of the Kansas City convention and
which will conduct the campaign that
will follow.

STORY OF DEWEY'S BOOM.
Sprung Sooner Than 1t Was Intend
ed to Be.

New York, April 5.-The Herald saws
Briefly stated, this is the story of the
! Dewey candidacy as given to the Herald
last night by prominent party leader
who has successfully manipulated state
| and even national conventions:
! The scheme to nominate Admiral
Dewey at the Kansas City convention
was carefully planned at a series of con
ferences held principally in this city and
in Washington.
Arthur L. German, acknowledged one
OF the most skillful political managers
IN the democratic party, was asked to
| take charge of the movement. Such con-
spicuous longtime party leaders as Will
liam Z. Whitney, Daniel c. Lamont,
Richard Olney, John r. Mclean and
Edward M. Sheppard participated ac-
lively IN the conferences.
They canv8ssed the entire situation
until they became convinced that the
movement could be successfully carried
out. Admiral Dewey and all OF his
friends discredited the reports that the
hero OF Manila bay would run for presi-
dent under any circumstances.
Would Spring it Suddenly.
They proposed to spring the plan
suddenly, not long before the assent bling
OF the democratic national convention,
and on the wave Of enthusiasm which
Dewey's announcement was expected to
make, calculated on sweeping aside all
obstacles and on making Dewey the
party candidate. Admiral Dewey's an
nouncement of his candidacy at this time
was not contemplated by the leaders in
the movement. They regarded April as
too early.
That the announcement should be
made by Dewey now is due to the per-
sistent reports from Washington that
Mr.. and Mrs. Dewey would go abroad.
This latter announcement is declared by
the admiral to have been absolutely
without foundation and regarded as an
effort to fOrestall and sidetrack the
Dewey boom.
Wording is Discussed Weeks.
The exact wording OF Admiral Dewey's
statement was under discussion for sew
eral weeks. 1t was prepared with the
utmost care, and a draft of the state
ment was sent to the admiral while he
was on his recent visit to st. Augustine,
Fla.
1t was pointed out last night that
democratic leaders OF the prominence of
those mentioned would not have con-
sented to the publication of Admiral
Dewey's statement at this time unless
they knew the exact situation. They
are men too shrewd and too experienced
in political manipulation to force Ad-
miral Dewey into the position of a can
didate without g. fair assurance of sue
cess.

A Second Johnstown.

Austin, Tex, April This city is to-
night in pitch darkness with a raging
river, one mile wide and swollen far be-
yond it's natural banks, roaring and
surging through all the lower portion of
town, having spread destruction and
death in its wake. In addition to the
vast loss to property interests, it is cal
culated that so lives have been sacrificed
and the reports coming in from the trib-
utary country do not tend to improve
matters. The food is not unlike the
disastrous Johnetown food, some years
ago, in that a raging river, already
swollen far beyond it's capacity, bore too
heavily upon an immense dam spanning
the river, breaking it and letting loose
reservoir Of water thirty miles long, half
a mile wide and sixty feet deep, to aid in
carrying destruction down the valleys of
