This was followed by the reading by
Ira Cole of the report of the platform,
which is as follows:
We, the republicans of Rosebud
county, in convention assembled, proud

whose principles have made the nation
great and prosperous. Republicanism
In the White House has always meant

immunity from the barbarism of Tagal
tribes. We honored Vim. Mckinley
living with the highest gift in the pow
