ern IN Its strength and volume. The New-York

highly appreciated by the delegations from the
other States that the Office of National
vice-president was especially created and be-
slowed upon our member, L. w Mott, Of Os-

National and State organizations, as follows:
We, the members Of the Republican League Of
the state of New-York, in convention assembled,
renew our confidence In the established doctrines
of the Republican party and at the beginning
of National campaign pledge ourselves TO re-
newed zeal IN that party's cause
he piaETa IN fha trim lioio- Iojl
down IN the National platform adopted at Phila-
delphia, and we indorse and pledge our hearty
support to the candidates then selected, Will
lam Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt. We
register our conviction that the maintenance of
the National honesty at home, the dignity of
American citizenship and the honor of the
American flag, for which fathers fought, can
only be maintained by a victory for these candi-
dates at the polls
The administration of William Mckinley dur
ing the last four years has been glorious in its
achievements. 1t has conducted a righteous war
TO a victorious end. 1t has adopted and
forced policies under which the high water mark
of prosperity has been reached. 1t has added to
domain, and has brought opportunities
and given new value to American citizenship.
1t has met and is solving more serious prob
lens than have confronted any other Admins
tration since the close of the Civil War. We
have entire confidence in the wisdom, the in
tegrity and the patriotism of the American peo-
pie to grasp these problems and so deal with
them that the blessings of American civilization
will extend to the far distant islands that came
to us unsought while the American flag assumes
and more glorious meaning among all
civilized peoples.
We indorse the administration of Theodore
Roosevelt and his associates in the conduct Of
the government of this State during the last
two years. It has been wise, patriotic and eco
nomical; every branch Of it has been honestly
and capably conducted, and even it's bitterest
fees have found no scandal on which to assail it.
Candidates for State offices soon TO be
named by Republican convention. Relying on
the wisdom of that convention, we tender in ad
vance our hearty support to those chosen to be
the standard bearers.
Believing in the Republican policies for the
future, and glorying in the party achievements
in the past, appeal to the young manhood
of America, and for ourselves we resolve to do
our utmost to achieve victory at the polls in
November.
George E. Green, of Binghamton, former presi-
dent Of the league, made speech, in which
he declared that the slogan Of the league would
be mo apathy" and declared it to be the duty
of the component clubs to thoroughly or
ganize that no one in the district should neglect
his duty upon Election Day. Mr. Green's speech
created considerably enthusiasm, and at its gon-
clusion the convention adjourned. ~
