some further views with respect TO
the questions in issue before the peo-

The principles which are SO frank

platform adopted by the republican
national convention meet with my
heartiest approval. In the main they
have been subjected to the test OF
actual experience and have been found
to be we'll suited to our industrial

brought us to high state among the
powers OF the earth.
The utterances of political parties
must be interpreted in the light OF
that practical construction which they
have put upon them when intrusted
with power 1t is not alone what they
say, but what they will do which
should weigh in determining thell
capacity to administer public affairs

they assented TO the suggestion made
by the administration, limiting the

lead to future friction.
We favor the adjustment Of inter
national disagreements by an appeal
TO reason, rather than TO arms. A
great majority of the questions which
arise between nations, may, without
compromising the national honor, be
submitted to arbitration. The admin

well to aid in the creation OF The
Hague tribunal, and President Roose-

being the first to invoke its jurisdic-
