The Republican party of Brown county in the state of Kansas, in the convention assembled through its regularly chosen delegates with great pride and satisfaction, approve of the princi- ples of the party as expressed in all its national conventions, from its organization until the present time.
We declare our loyalty to the Republican party and pledge our earnest and hearty support to the principles enunciated in the platform of the national convention held in Chicago, JJune 19, 1838 and to the principles expressed in the platform of the state Republican convention held in Topeka, Kansas on the 25th day of July. 1888
We heartily endorse the nomination of Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana and Levi P. Morton, of New York for president and vice president of the United States, as true Americans of great ability, purity of character and most fitting representatives of the Republican party and a free and enlightened people.
We recognize the good judgement of the state Republican convention held at Topeka, July 25, 1888 in selecting for the state ticket mien of progressive ideas who are devoted to Republican principles and the progress of our state and the welfare of its people. We recognize their abil- ity and integrity and pledge them our earnest support.
We approve and commend the present state administration as wise, economical and just and we recognize that the officers have been faithful to their trusts and deserving of our highest commendation.
We believe in the protection of American labor and American product and denounce as un- wise and unpatriotic the attempts to embody in our legislation principles of free trade. Intel- ligent and prosperous free labor is the cornerstone on which our government is founded and we protest against its being impoverished by competition with the production of underpaid la- bor of Europe, or degraded by the importation of pauper labor from China or any other portion of the world.
We believe our soldiers and sailors of the Union in the late war placed the nation under a debt of obligation and gratitude which it can never pay, but that it is the duty of the govern- ment to discharge its obligations so far as it is possible to do so by granting pensions and es- tablishing homes for all such old soldiers and sailors as are disabled or in want, and we approve the course of our Republican senator and members of congress in voting pensions and urge

them to do all in their power to show the nation's appreciation of the old soldiers and sailors' services in the war of the : ebellion.
We condemn the actions of President Cleveland in vetoing a vast number of worthy private pension bills and denounce as degrading the dignity of the office which he holds and as insult- ing the memory of every dead, and slurring the honor of every living soldier and sailor by the manner in which he expresses his false reasoning for his veto.
We arraign the Democratic administration of President Cleveland for having failed to keep the pledges on which it came into power. It promised economy and has been most extravagant in expenditure which has exceeded by $25,000,000 the preceeding Republican administration. It promised to reduce the surplus in the treasury, but reversing the rule of previous administra- tions in using it to pay the debt has permitted the surplus to lie idle and accumulate to the great injury of the business of the country. It charged the Republicans of having 30,000 more office holders for the administration of affairs of the government than was necessary and promised to reduce the number, but instead of reducing the number has increased it 7.000 more in order to satisfy the hungry hoards of office seekers in the Democratic party. It promised to care for and give attention to the disabled soldiers and sailors of the late war and has treated with con- temptuous vetos every pension bill against which it could find any shadow of technical objec- tions. It promised to protect the person and property of citizens both at home and abroad and maintain the dignity and honor of the nation. yet in its relation to England. it has shown itself unable to give protection. either to person or property and has permitted onr flag to be insulted without proper protest almost in sight of our shores. It promised obedience to civil service re- forms and to strictly enforce the law governing the appointment of clerks and officials. It has disregarded that law and destroyed its effect.
Resolved, That weexpress our highest appreciation and approval and success of the con- duct of our United States Senators John J Ingalls and Preston B. Plumb and that we are in favor of their re election.
Resolved, Further, that we heartily approve and endorse the work in congress of our es- teemed fellow citizen. E. N Morrill, and that we especially approve and express our satisfac- tion with his able and untiring effort in serving the best interests of the First Congressional district and we pledge ourselves to work earnestly and cordially for his re-election believing that his majorities can be increased to five thousand.
