Synopsis of Platform Adopted.
The Republicans of the Empire state,
the home of Theodore Roosevelt, in
convention assembled fifty years after
the birth of the party, congratulate
the country on the splendid results of
the recent elections in Oregon Ver-
mont and Maine and the inspiration
that they have given to the cause Of
Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
We endorse the platform of the Re-
publican national convention in Chi
cago June last in all it's declarations,
particularly those in favor of the gold
standard and protection to American
Workmen and the industries by which
they thrive.
We appeal for support to the COM
mon sense of those who do not be-
lieve in a change for the sake Of max
Ing change and who are willing to
"let well enough alone" to those who
believe in the kind of protection the
Republican party has always stood for
and not in the kind with which the
Democratic party, with its free trade
allies, is trying to delude Industrial
workers.
National as well as state politics are
involved in the outcome of our state
election and we commend to every
citizen the faithful performance of his
patriotic duty.
