In this, the first delegate conven-
ton of the republicans of Wapello
county, held subsequent to the tragic
death of President Mckinley, no
words are found adequate to express
the sentiment of public loss and per-
sonal sorrow experienced by every
individual in this community. With
reverent submission to the will of
Providence, we find cause for over
flowing gratitude in the fact that our
government is founded upon those
eternal principles of universal liberty
and personal right and Justice, which
less hand of death strikes down our
best and greatest men.
I'VE see in the prevailing conditions
OF peace, prosperity and progress. the
normal and legitimate fruition of the
practical application to the admins
tration of our government of the prin-
ciples ana policies of the republican
party.

world wide policies inaugurated by
his honored predecessor, and in i'm.
partially enforcing the laws applying
to trusts and corporate combinations,
regardless of what interest may be
amected thereby, meets with our en-.
thusiastic approval. We see in the
Presidents wise and courageous &C.
ton, guarantee of the liberties OF
all the people, and sure indication
that corporate power shall not, under
republican administration, be per.
mitted to usurp functions to which il
is not entitled under the laws or tran
scend the rights of the individual cit
1zen.

No district in the state has, in ou1
