the Unanimous Endorsement OF
the Convention.
Cleveland, o., May 2s.-When the re-
publican state convention reassem-
bled Gov. Nash, as the temporary
chairman, called for reports. The re-
ports of the committees on creden-
tails, rules and order of business were
submitted and adopted. The report
making Gen. Chas. ii. Grosvehor
permanent chairman and continuing
the rest of temporary organization
was then adopted. When Gov. Nash
presented Gen. Grosvenor the latter
received quite an ovation.
At the conclusion of Gen. Grosve-
nor's address the platform was re-
ported by Gen. Dick, chairman of the
committee on resolutions. Refer
ences to Roosevelt, Hanna, Foraker
and Gov. Nash were loudly applauded.
On Gen. Dicks motion the resolutions
were adopted. Their principal fea-
lures follow:
Capital and Labor.
mo question now pressing for attention
can be of greater Importance than tnat
which concerns the relations of capital
and labor, and we pledge ourselves 70 the
i,iZation. We welcome the Investment OF
capital within our state to the end that
labor may be steadily and p~roftably EN-
ployed in adding to the wealth ana pros
perity of our people. We believe with
Lincoln that, capital is only the trult OF
labor. and could never have existed IL
the labor had not first existed. Labor IS
the superior of capital, and deserves much
higher consideration
ITO secure for labor the, consideratlon
1t deserves; to uphold the dignity OF toll
to create a healthy public opinion on tne
subject of labor, and the justice OF us
receiving a full share of the values 1t
creates; to bring labor and capital to-
gether on common ground in the ADJUST
ment of such questions as may concern
these two great factors in production, II
is necessary that labor should be intel
ligentiy organized. We believe IN FEWER
hours and larger rewards for labor, ana
favor such laws as will harmonic the IN
terests of labor and capital, and tend 10
tighten the burden of toll.
Chinese Exclusion.
"In our declaration of principles we "a
vored a renewal of the wise provision pyc
which the unrestricted immigration Oh
Chinese has been prevented, and we now
commend congress for re-enacung tne
Chinese exclusion law, thus insurlng CON
tinued protection to American labor from
Chinese immigration.
The resolutions favor a continuation
of the liberal pension policy inaugurated

tension of the postal rural free delivery
service, wherever its extension may De
justified" commend a substantial ana IN
. Interrupted increase in the strength OF the
navy, and urge legislation that VIII ex-
pedite the construction OF the sthmiah
canal.
Trusts.
1--WE recognize the necessity of co-opera-
ton in order to meet new conditions IN
the industrial world, and to compete sue
cessfully for the worlds market, put an
combinations that stifle competion, CON
crease profits and values, and especiahy
when they raise the prices of necessities

THE republican party is the only one
that has dealt courageously ana non
estly with the trust question. 1t enacted,
as early as 1880, a law framed by ina
distinguished statesman, John sherman,
to prohibit and punish combinations IN
or the advancement of prices. This act
framed by a republican, passed by a repup-
lican congress and signed by a rePuD'
venting abuses by such compinatlons
where such abuses were found 10 exist
and is now being vigorously applied by =
republican administration i'll the prose
cution of unlawful combinations. SupSe'
