THE RESOLUTIONS.
We cordially affirm our continue d
adherence to the principles set forth in
the Republican national platform and
we congratulate the country upon the
grand results that have followed the
practical application of those prin-
ciples to the affairs of the govern
ment.
We mourn the untimely death of our
beloved president, William Mckinley.
His gentleness inspired the love of
every citizen, while the strength and
majesty of his character commanded
the admiration of mankind.
The Republican party of Allen
county unqualifedly indorses the ad-
ministration of President Theodore
Roosevelt. We most heartily con-

auspicious beginning of their nation,

tration in the action it has taken to
suppress insurrection and establish
the national authority in the Philip

BILE.
The Republ cans of Kansas have
always been the firm friends of the
veterans who fought through the great
civil war to preserve the union, and
we hereby renew the expression of
our gratitude to them and favor lib
eral pensions for them, their widows
and orphans. We are also loyal to
their sons, the soldiers of this day
who, under the leadership of Lawton
and Wheaton and Macarthur and
Funston, have proved themselves
worthy of their heroic sires, and we
condemn in unmeasured terms the
false charges made against them and
the brutal attacks made upon them by
those who seek thus to gain paltry
political advantage.
We cordially endorse the energetic
efforts that are being made by the at
torney general of the United States
under the direction of the president
to enforce the provisions of the
Sherman antitrust law enacted by
Republican Congress.
The Republican principle of pro
tective tariff was never more firmly
fixed in our national policy than it is
now. 1t has developed our industries
preserved our domestic trade, ex-
tended our foreign markets and con-
tributed morethan any other one policy
to toourpresent unparalleled prosperity.
We are proud of the triumphs
achieved during the past five years by
American diplomacy, and we particu-
larly approve the abrogation of the
ton-Bulwer treaty, which will
enable the government to proceed with
the construction of an isthmian canal,
to be maintained under the authority
of the United States and under the
protection of our flag.
We indorse the course of our sena-
tor and representatives in congress.
We earnestly commend the able,
honest and economical administration
of Governor Stanley and the state of
iicers and congratulate the people of
the state that under their administra-
tions its affairs have been so man
aged as to meet the appreciation of
the people Of Kansas.
We further heartily indorse the
nomination of Hon. w. j. Bailey for
governor, and his associates on the
rest of the state ticket, and commend
them to the voters of Allen county.
Believing that worth and merit as
we'll as constant and untiring devo-
ton and watchfullness to the interests

tuents should be rewarded, we, the
Republicans of Allen county in con-
vention assembled, do hereby endorse
the candidacy OF Hon. Chester l
