That we are earnestly opposed to all leg
islation designed TO accomplish the disfran'
chisement OF citizens upon lines OF race,
color or station of life, and condemn the
measures adopted by the democratic party
in certain states of the union to accomplish
that end.
That we stand by the historic policy Of
the republican party In giving protection TO
home industries and point for Its ample
vindlcation to the extraordinary rapldiy
with which our national resources nave Deen
developed and our Industrial and financial
independence secured.
We favor such changes in the tariff from
tine to time as become advisable through
the progress OF our Industries and their
changing relations TO the commerce Of the
world We endorse the policy Of reciprocity
as the national complement Of protection
and urge its development as necessary to
the realization of ouI highest commercial
possibilities.
That we assert the sovereignty Of the peo-
pie over all corporations and aggregations
of capital and the right residing In the
people TO enforce such regulations and re-.
strfctions or prohibitions upon corporate
management as will protect the individual
and society from abuse Of the power which
great combinations of capital WELD. We
favor such amendment Of the Interstate
commerce act as will more fully carry
out its prohibition Of Determinations In
rate making. and any modification Of the
tariff schedules that may be required 10
prevent their affording shelter to monopoly.
That the republican party will seek
faithfully to guard the interests OF all the
people, to develop the resources OF this
country for the common welfare, to levy the
necessary taxation without bias or favor
and to secure that just recognition OF the
rights OF every Individual under which all
find security and prosperity together.

and representatives In congress The char

lions held upon the standing committees,
the long and distinguished careers Of the
older members, have acquired for the state

Judah, the daughter Of Emanuel
judah. She was left an orphan at an
early age, kidnapped by slave dealers
and sold into bondage. This enslaved
Jewish woman then became the moth

to be one of these two white children.

lieutenants, the sergeants and the
corporals, for in fighting the guerrilla
bands large bodies of troops were USE

Kinley's administration, the balance was
in excess OF 1854, 100000, surprising by
SJOOOO,OOO the great year of 1898. The ii.
nances OF the country were never upon so
sound and prosperous a basis. The amount
of money in circulation exceeds S2,177 900,
Co., a gam of more than Sl14,OOO,OO0 over
year ago. The per capita circulation is
SIS 1900, the largest amount in the history
of the country. The cash in the treasury
is In excess of 1926, 49,, 900, an amount larg.
or than that possessed by any other nation
in the world. Labor is In demand ut more
than living wages. The products of the
farm and the shop find a ready market at
prices that are profitable, and this age Will
be known 10 history and posterity as The
Golden or Mckinley Age and stand as a
high water-mark OF prosperity throughout
the future.
But in the pride Of achievement we
must not forget that our party and the
nation are beset with many great and per-
picking problems, upon the correct solution
OF which depends our future progress and
the successful determination of which calls
for courage, wisdom and craftsmanship Of
a high order.

SAFE WAS BLOWN OPEN
VISIT OF BURGLARS TO THE OPERA
HOUSE SALOON.
Safe Crackers Frightened Away Just as
Success Was Ready to Crown
Their Efforts.

Safe crackers paid a visit to the Opera
House saloon during the early hours Of
yesterday morning, Entrance to the saloon
was effected by way of the side door which
opens on short digit of steps leading to
the opera house entrance. The door
fustens on the inside by means OF an ordI-
nary lock with bolt above. The burglars
made an aperture about six inches square
IN the door midway between the lock and
the bolt A hand and arm were thrust
through and the matter of throwing back
the bolt and lock was easy. After gain.
ing entrance, the safe crackers turned their
attention TO the safe, which Is stationed
near the entrance In the east corner Of the
building. a hole, which appears to have
been made with IL quarterinch steel dull,
was bored midway between the combina
ton and the knob. The explosion shat
tered the door ana played havoc with the
FIRE proof brick with which IL was lined.
one OF the bolts held firm and the door
refused 10 open more than half an inch,
The character OF the explosion indicates
that nitro glyccrine was used The fact
that the burglars left behind them a ham
mer, chiSel and hi indicates that they
took a hurried departure. A gentleman
stated that about O'clock he attempted
TO enter the place with n view Of taking
| a drink He tried the outside door and
foand II locked. IL is probable that his
! action frightened the burglars away be
fore they had flashed the job A roomer
upstairs stated that he heard the ex-
| plosiou, hut that he was dreaming about
| a boiler explosion. He awoke and decided
/ the noise was accustomed by shot In
| the street. He looked Mt his watch and
| found that IL was $3.50 n, m. The safe con
