the sentiment turning strongly toward the
latter.

The Platform Adopted.

The platform adopted was as follows
We rejoice that in the semi-oentennial
OF the Republican party we can survey a
record OF progressive measures and bene-
iioient achievement without parallel since
the founding Of our republic Our party
has gained pre-eminence in constructive
statesnianship through measures like the
Morrill, tariff aud successive great systems
of protection for American industry; na-
tional banking, specie payment and gold
standard laws; the college land grant for
the benefit 0f our American youth; eman-
cipation, Southern reconstruction and the
opening and development Of our vast
West: the glorious launching OF the Cu an
republic: and the extension Of the bless
ings Of our American institutions and the
possibility Of progressive home rule to the
long oppressed inhabitants Of the Philip
pines.
The Republican party bas withstood
every assault upon our national integrity,
whether OF slave power OF Of rebellion OF
of repudiation, or Of silver imitation, or q
subversi0n of our federal courts; and u
still stands as the peoples bulwark against
the waves Of popnlistic fantioism which
are ever breaking through their democrat
IL barriers aud threatening to dash upon
the national capital

pubIicans to recall the illustrious services

MlRAL skRYDLoFF.

st. Petersburg, April 21.-So far as
can be learned no action has been
taken in regard to Viceroy Alexieff's s
application to be relieved Of his du-
ties. Indeed, it is not officially ad-
mitted that such an application has
been received. Rumors CT the vice.
roy's approaching return have gained
wide circulation, but further than ad-
mitting the fact of the existence of
unfriendly relations between the two
men the official world did all in its
power to discourage the idea that Vice
Admiral Skrydloff's appointment to
command the Russian fleet at Port Ar
thur could lead Admiral Alexieff to
take a hasty stsp. Skrydloff himself
has had a long interview with the en-
peror and it is considered quite prob
able, now that the situation is the sub
jcct of public discussion, that way
may be found to smooth matters over
for the present in order to preserve
appearances, ~ -A

ALEXIEFF WOULD RETIRE

pERs HIS RESIGNATION
TO THE CAR. r.

st. Petersburg, April 21.-The czar
has received a telegram from Viceroy
Alexieff asking that he be relieved
of his position as viceroy. The re-
quest will be granted.
This statement comes from relia-
BILE authority and the official announce
ment is expected at any, time.
The cause Of the viceroy's applica-
3tion is reported to be the appointment
of Vice Admiral Skrydlof, one Of Ad-
miral Alexieffs strongest enemies and
sharpest critics, as successor TO the
late Vice. Admiral Makaroff. in COM
mand Of the Russian navy in the Far
East. III ~
] IT Is said that Vice Admiral Skryd-
Ion, in his interview Tuesday, let his
majesty understand that he does not
care to assume control of the fleet un-
til Alexieff has withdrawn. Therefore
the two men will not meet at Port
Arthur.
The cause of the enmity between
Alexiefi and Skrydloff is believed to
be deeper than mere difference OF
opinion as to the policy to be pursued
In the Far East. -
Skrydloff has not hesitated, in talk
Ing to his friends, to charge Alexien
with responsibility for the disasters
to the Pacific squadron by his division
of the fleet, which segregated four ar
mored cruisers at Vladivostok and sta
toned the Variag and Korietz at Chs
mulpo.
