The Platform.
The pint form was presented and adopt
ed ea follow..:
The Republicans of the United States, as
sembled by their representatives in national
convention, appealing for the popular and his
torical jnntiflcation of their claims to the
matchless achievements of W years or nepun
llcan role, earnestly and confidently ad drew
themselves to the awakened Intel 11 annoes, ex
perience and conscience of their countrymen
In the following declaration ox races ana prin
ciples: For the first time since the civil war the
American people have witnessed the calam
itous consequences of full and unrestricted
Democratic control of the government. It hat
been a record of unparalleled incapacity, dis
honor and disaster. In administrative manage
ment it has ruthlessly sacrtrloed indispensable
revonae, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked
out ordinary current expenses with borrowed
money, piled up the public debt by fU,0OO,00C
in time of peace, forced an adverse bnianoe oi
trade, kept a uerpetual menace hanging ovei
the redemption fund, pawned American credit
to alien syndicates and reversed all tne meas
ures and results of successful Republican
rule. In the broad effect of its policy it hat
precipitated panic, blighted Industry and
trade with prolonged depression, closed fae
tories, reduced work and wages, halted enter
prise and crippled American production whlli
stimulating foreign production ror the Amor
lean market. Every consideration of publi.
safety and individual interest demands that
the government shall be rescued from the
hands of those who have shown themselves In
capable to conduct It without disaster at home
and dishonor abroad and restored to the party
which for BO years administered it with un
equaled success and prosperity. And In this
connection we heartily indorse the wisdom,
pntriotiwm and success of the administration
of President Harrison.
THi TABivr. we renew and emphasise out
allegiance to the policy of protection as the
bulwark of American industrial Independence
and the foundation of American development
and prosperity. This true American policy
taxes foreign products and encourages horn.
Industry. It puts the burden of revenue on
foreign goods. It secures the American market
WILLIAM M' KIN LET.
for the American producer. It upholds the
American standard of wags for the American
workingm an. It puts the factory by the sids
of the farm and makes the American farmer
less dependent on foreign demand and price.
It diffuses general thrift and founds the
strength of all on the strength of each. In its
reasonable application it is Just, fair and iin
partial, equally opposed to foreign control and
dotiieatio monopoly, to sectional disorimnatioa
and Individual favoritism.
We denounce the Democratic tariff as
tioiial, injurious to the public credit and de
structive to business enterprise. We demand
such an equitable tariff on foreign imports
which come Into competition with American
products as will not only furnish adequate
revenue lor ths necessary expenses or the gov
ernment, but will protect American labor from
degradation to the wage level of other lauds.
We are not pledged to any particular schedules.
Tha question of rates is a practical question to
be governed by the conditions of the time aud
of production. The ruling and un compromis
ing principle Is the protection and development
of American labor and industry. The country
demands a right settlement, and then it wants
rest.
KaoiPBOOiTT. We beliere the repeal of the
reciprocity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was a national
calamity, and we demand their renewal and
extension, on such mrui wUJ aaaJkM
trade with other nations, remove the restric
tion which now obstruct the sale of A merles a
products in the ports of other countries and
eecura anlarged markets for the products of
Kur fit rw , furtuii and factories.
protection and reciprocity are twin measures
of Republican policy and go baud iii hand.
Dsmocratio rule has recklessly stsuck dew a

Mo!ort The Republican party Is hnreserr
edly for sound money. It caused the enact

of specie payments in lMty, and since then
every dollar has been as good as gold.
We are unalterably opposed to every measnr
calculated to debase our currency or lmpnh

to maintain inviolably the obligations of the
United Btntes and all our money, whethel

Pr.NSn.fm. The 4Vtcransof the Union army
deserve and shnnld receive fair treatment and

thfy should Mfci'n preference In the mattni

enactment of such laws as are best calculated
to secure the fulfillment of the pledgee made
to them In the dark days of the country 1b peril.
We denounce the practice in tho pension bu
reau so rerklesHly and unJnHtly carried on by
the present administration of reducing pen
sions and arbitrarily dropping names from the
rolls as deserving the severest condemnation
of the American people.
FnHEioN Ruinations. Our foreign policy
should be at nil times firm, vigorous and dig
nified and all our interests in the western
hemisphere carefully watched and guarded.
The Hawaiian Islands should be controlled by
the United Htates, and no foreign power should
be permitted to interfere with them. The
Nicaragua!! canal Should be built, owned and
operated by the MJnited Btatee, and by the
purchase of the Danish Islands we should se
cure a proper end much needed naval station
In the West Indies.
Ahmbnian Massacres:. The massacres ol
Armenians have aroused the deep sympathy
and Just Indignation of the American people,
and we believe that th United States should
exercise altthe Influence it can properly exert
to bring these atrocities to an end. In Tur
key. American residents have been exposed tr
the gravest dangers and American property
has been destroyed. There and everywhere
American citizens and American property
must be absolutely protected at all haznrdr
and at any cost.
Mow hob Doctrinb. We reassert the Monroe
doctrine in its full extent, and we reaillrm thf
right of the United Btntee to give the doctrine
effect by responding to the appeals of any
American state for friendly Intervention In
case of European encroachment. We have not
Interfered and shall not Interfere with the e
Isting possessions of any European pdjwer if
this hemisphere, but those possessions must
not on any pretext be extended. We hopefully
look forward to the eventual withdrawal ol
the European powers from this hemisphere
and to the ultimate union of all Anglian speak
ing parts of the continent by the free consenl
of its Inhabitants.
Cuba. From ths hour . of Achieving theli
own Independence the people of the United
States bare regarded with sympathy the strug
gles of other American peoples to free them
selves from European domination. Wei watch
with deep and abiding interest the heroic bat
tle of the Cuban patriots against oruelty and
oppression, and onr best hopes go out for the
full success of their determined contest fol
liberty. The government of Spain, having lost
control of Cuba and being enable to protect
the property or, lives of res'dHftt American cit
Isens or to comply wjth its trskty obligations,
we believe that tihe government of the United
Htnvos should use! Its influence and good officei
to restore peace and give independence to the
island. i '
The Natt. The peace and security of the
republic and the maintenance of Its rightful
Influence among the nations of the earth de
mand a naval power commensurate with It
position and responsibility. We therefore
favor the continued enlargement of the navy
end a complete system of harbor and seaoQast
defenses., .
OHBioif IiiMtonaf ion. For the protection
of the quality of our American citizenship and
of the wages of our workingmcn against the
fatal competition of low priced labor we de
mand that the immigration laws be thoroughly
enforced and to extended as to exclude from
entrance to the United States those who esq
neither road nor write.
Civil Bkhviob. The elvll service law wat
placed, on the statute books by the Republican
party, which has always sustained it, and wt
renew our repeated declarations that It shall
be thoroughly and honestly enforced and ex
tended wherever practicable,
Fhrjj Ballot. We demand that every ol ti
tan of the United States shall be allowed tc
east one frcwi and unrestricted hajjkot, and that
such ballot shall 4hj counted etM' returned at
east.
Lynohinos. We proclaim our unqualified
condemnation of the uncivilised and barbarotu
practice known as lynching or killing of hu
man beings suspected or charged with crime
without process of law.
National Ahbithatior. We favor the ore
atlon of a national board of arbitration to set
tle and adjust differences which may arise be
tween employers and employees engaged in
interstate com me roe.
Hombktbads. We belleve ln an immediate
return to the free huniesteiul policy of the Re
publican party and urge' tile paasage by con
gress of the satisfactory free homestead meas
ure which has already passed the house and
Ijttiow pending In the senate.
Terhitohiks. We favor the admission oi
the remaining kerritoriesat .the eiulieat prac
ticable date, having due rfrd veTths Inter
ests of the people of the territories and of the
United States. All the federal officers ap
pointed for the territories should be elected
from bona fide residents thereof, and the-right
of self government should be accorded as Xi
as practicable.
Alaska. We bclievs the) cit I eons of Alaska
should have representation in the oongress of
the United etatjs, to the end that needful leg
islation may be Intelligently enacted.
Tkmpkramob. We sympathise with all wise
and legitimate efforts to lessen and prevent
the evils of intemperance and promote moral
ity. Rights or Womkw. The Republican party
is mindful of the rights and interests olj wo
men. Protection ol American industries In
cludes equal opportunities, equal pay fur equja
wore and protection to tne noma. We favor
the admission of women to wider spheres of
usefulness, and we esteem their co-operation lit

Populist mismanagement and misrule.
Buck are the principles and policies of the
BfeoanJiean nartv. - or these uiinctytes wt

VIEWS OF GEN. LEE.
DENOUNCES SPAIN'S MISRULE IN A
PRIVATE LETTER.
Official Report of the Consul General
Awaited With Great Interest Conserv
ative Cltleens of Havana Deslr Annex
ation to the United State.
Washington, June 84. A very Interest
ing letter bos been received by a relative
from General FltE Hugh Ijee. It was writ
ten on the lath and deals pretty fully with
Cuban affairs. The Spanish authorities,
the general says, have treated hltn with
great courtesy, and Captain General Wey
ler has granted every request thus far pre
f erred, even allowing him to visit the prls
ons where the oaptured Americans are con
fined.
Of the Spanish troops, he says they are
fairly well drilled, but under a system of
tnctlcs and manual totally different from
any the general hd ever seen.
As to the Insurgents, they practically
have oontrol of the Inland. Their emissa
ries come In and go out of the towns and
cities as they will, and he believes the en
tire native population is In sympathy with
them. As to the Inhumanity of the Span
ish commanders, Goneral Lee expresses
himself in the plainest terms. "Thoy do
not regard the laws of modern war nor
the usages customary among civilized na
tlons at nil."
He says: "From every quorter there Is
tho same testimony oonoerning the barbar
ities of the Spanish soldiers. Some of the
evidence I have heard would be beyond be
lief did I not know It to he most reliable.
Violations of women, the plunder of Inof
fenslve citizens, murder, every form of ra
pine, Is the unvarying story of prisoners
and nntlves of the Island who happen to
be under suspicion. And It tukos very little
Indeed here to place you uudor suspicion.'
General Lee doubts If peace could he
made now short of a basis of absolute In
dependence and froedom from Spaulsh con
trol.
Spaniards Are Ferocious.
MADRID, June 88. The prof ounrl est
sensation hns been caused here by the
news of the nllegod purpurt of a report by
United States Consul General Lee to Pros
ldont Cleveland on the state of affairs In
Cuba, which report Is sold, to be on the
wnv from Havana to Washington.
The effect of the intelligence is difHoult
to exaggerate.
All classes of tho community are grontly
wrought up, but the commotion Is espe
cially great in parliamentary and polltloal
circles.
The lobbies of the senate were extremes
ly unlimited just before Senator Comas be
gan an energetlo antl American speech on
moving nn amendment to the address In
reply to the speech from the throne asking.
the government to annul all treatlus be
tween Spain and the United States.
Tho impression is general among poli
ticians and military men that the govern
ment will be requested to withdraw Con
sul General Lee's exequatur if he really
has expressed opinions as unfavorable to
Spanish rule in Cuba as rumor credits
him with having done.
The minister of the colonies introduced
In the cortes a bill authorizing the gov
ernment to expend In the war in Cuba as
muoh of the colonial and lmperlnl reve
nues as may be necessary to secure success
nnd also authorizing It to negotiate un
limited loans or credit.
The Madrid press continues to lay much
stress upon the doner relations likely to
be established between Spain, France and
Russia when occasion arises. The mark
edly friendly welcome given to the French
fleet in the ports of north Spain is hailed
by Spaniards as a happy omen.
Want Annexation.
Nitw York, June 88. Mr. William Ry
an of Richmond, collector of internal rev
enue for the eastern dlstriot of Virginia,
who has been visiting friends In Cuba.
was a passenger on the Ward line steamer
Yumurl, which has just arrived. Along
with a number of other passengers from
the tropical zone he Is quarantined at Hou
man islnnd. Mr. Ryan says that the Cubans
are more olamorous than ever for annexa
tion to the Untied States, and that while
the few representative men of the Island
express some doubt as to the possibility
of annexation the great majority regard
guob a thing as one prnotloal and desirable
for both the United States and Cuba as
the one solution of the situation. Sooner
or lntor, tho Cubans say, annexation must
uroly be accomplished.

"WHAT SPAIN THINKS.
THE
DONS ARE VERY BITTER
WARD THIS COUNTRY.
TO-
An Ameramn Lately In That Conntry De
clare Tkstt the Spaniards Ar Kgr tc
Fight rs Think Wa Are Utigratefnl.
The Feelfng Toward Cahst.
Mr. Hobiu-t C. Chatfi-ld-Taylor, Trho
was tho escort of the Ppttnish infanta
En I alia wbon sho Tisitod this conntry at
tho time of tho Chicago exposition, and
whose favorable disposition toward the
Sptininh government hns been officially
recnCTiiwd by royalty, returned to New
York Inst week from Spnin, where he
hnd spent srveral months. While at
Madrid a short time ngo he had the
honor of being prrwnfpd to the qneen
regent, and ho also had interriews with
a number of Spanish statesmen. As goon
as lie arrived in America he conversed
with tho reporters alxiut Spanish affairs,
the Onlmn war and the attitude of Spain
toward the United States.
While in Spain he observed the pe
culiar state of the Spanish mind aa fol
lows :
"I saw and heard enough to convince
me that the Spanish people and the
Spanish press have an intensely bitter
feeling against the United States."
We have information which confirms
tho truthfulness of this remark of Mr.
Chatfipld-Taylor, who, we may say, is
an American of Chicago. The enrions
thing in this ease is that the feeling
spoken of is all on one sido. The Ameri
cans have not an intensely bitter feeling
against the Spaniards. On the contrary,
we are their well wishers. We do no'
reciprocate, their hatred. We desire that
they shall enjoy liberty, peace and all
their rights. We respect their honor.
We do not seek to interfore in their af
fairs. We have had reason to esteem
many individuals among them, and, in
deed, wo have an especial liking for
many of tho qualities and a high ad
miration for many of the traits of the
Spanish people. We say frankly that the
bitterness of tho Spaniards against tho
Americans is not relevant to any bitter
ness of the Americans against the Span
iards.
Look next at another remark of Mr.
Chatfleld-Taylor:
"There is no que'stion in my mind
that Spain, if not desirous of war, is
not averse to a conflict with this conn
try."
Hero again is a difference between
the two countries. We are unwilling to
engage in a conflict with Spain. We are
averse to such a conflict We desire to
live at peace with Spain. Spain has no
cause of quarrel with us. We ask noth
ing but fair play from Spain. In a num
ber of instances this country has man!
tested its good disposition and its long
suffering toward Spain. We should
think that if Spain were in her right
mind an were acquainted with ns she
would hfi exceedingly averse to a oon
flict with tho United States. It would
be a very foolish thing for Spain to
force a quarrel upon ns.
Mr. Chatfleld-Taylor speaks of Spain
in this way :
"Spain is a proud and a sensitive na
tion."
This is a truthful statement. It is
to the credit 1 ' Spain. A country that
is without it;- share of pride, in this age
of presumption, swagger and rapacity,
must be in a state of docay. So also in
regard to sensitiveness. It is to be re
spected, either in a man or in a coun
try. So far as American pride and eon-
itiveness are conoerned we need not
say much. Wo are not destitute of pa
triotic pride any more than Spain. We
are in a measure sensitive like Spain.
We should suppose that two countries
which are both proud and sensitive
would be able to indulge in mutual ad
miration, and that each of them would
be very careful in its dealings with the
other. It is true that Spanish pride has
fallen very often, but we know that
there is a good deal of it left yet and
that it may fall again without suffering
annihilation.
Hera is a very interesting statement
or Mr. Chatfleld-Taylor:
"There is a feeling in Spain that this
country, the United States, is ungrate
ful. The discovery of America by Span
iards is the cause of a feeling that if
Spain is not the mother country to this,
she should at least be looked upon as a
sort of grandmother to the Americas. '
Ah, indeed! "Base ingratitude blas
phemes hia feeder, ' ' though fed by his
own grandmother. It was Weyler, the
butcher of Cuba, who reminded us as
soon as he) arrived at Havana that we
ought to be grateful to Spain for discov
ering America, bo grateful that we
would justify him in butchering Spain's
lost American child, the one known ass
the " Pearl of the Antilles. " We tried
to argue the case with Weyler at the
time, but his only answer was a roar for
carnage. We may as well say at onoe
that we are not grateful to Spain for
anything, and that we don't recognize
her either as our mother or as our grand
mother. She playei the mischief with
Spanish America after the Italian whom
she abandoned had discovered it, and
all of her American children cut loose
from her as soon aa they were able to
walk alone, expressing not gratitude,
but hatred and scorn. She was a cruel
old savage who maltreated her offspring
and regarded them only for what she
could get out of them. If we are to be
grateful to any country for discovering
our part of America, it is not to Spain.
Mr. Chatfleld-Taylor again :
"The Spaniards believe that Spain
has nothing to lose and muoh to gain by
wir with the United States.
We do not see how we can change this
Spanish belief. Yet we must say that
we do not think it is well grounded.
Even if Spain were to conquer this
country, we doubt whether she would
find it a pleasant place to live in. New
York, fur example, is oold in winter
and hot in mmnier, while few of us un
derstand Spanish. We are told that
Spain could scud out privateer to prey
upon our commerce, forgetful that wa
might send out canoed to prey upon hex
privateers.
Once more Mr. Chatfleld-Taylor:
"The favorite idea in Spain is that
the Americans are a commercial people,
and that as soon as stocks fall in Wall
treet we will cry 'Kuoughl' "
Why, truly, the Spaniards who favoi
this idea are too oute fur anything. We
invite them to come over here without
their gun and cast a glance at sucb
people as they muy happen to meet

Is only one sentiment in Spain regard

MRS. FLEMING FREE.
THE JURY SAYS SHE DID NOT KILL
HER MOTHER.
The Verdict of Acquittal Was Iteeelvael
With Great Applause In tha Courtroom.
Tha Defendant Showed Zdttle or
Emotion.
New York, June 24. Mrs. Mary Alios
Fleming, acoused of having murdered her
mother, Mrs. Evallna M. Bliss, with poi
son, was acquitted aftor the jury bad de
liberated on the evldenoefor 18 hour.
When Clerk Brophy asked Foreman
Charles B. Poor If the jury had agreed up
on a verdlot, he replied:
"We have. Not guilty. "
In an Instant the crowcfl courtroom
was filled with a Joyful uproar. Every
man clapped his hands and cheered. Mra
Fleming did not lose her composure. She
was Immediately surrounded by an enthu
siastic crowd, who shook her hands and
congratulated her.
In summing up the case and presenting
Che evldonoe to the Jury Recorder Goff
mid: "In spite of the mass of testimony
and the abstruse nature of muoh of It this
case comes down to a simple question of
faot oonoerning the guilt or Innooonoe of
this dofendant. "
Then he called the Jury's attention to
the fnot that in order to make out a oass
of murder In the first degree the element
of premeditation and deliberation must be
established. Aftor dilating on the faot
that premeditation and deliberation could
inly be Inferred or determined from what
was done the recorder went on to say that,
above all, 'murder by poisoning furnished
the most conclusive evldenoe of premedi
tation.
Aftor more generalities concerning the
manner In whloh the credibility of wit
nesses could be impeached, the recorder
took hold of Soheele, the expert chemist,
and told the jurymen that If they thought
his oredllbllty had been successfully im
peached they could discard all hi evldenoe,
or sunh of It as they ohose. A general
refutation for untruthfulness did not nec
essarily warrant the jury In rejecting all
that a witness had said. It oame down In
the end to a matter for them to decide
upon a to how much they would aoocpt
and how muoh rojeot, if any.
Little Florenoe King and her practically
uncontradicted testimony wa next com
mented on and the jurymen warned that
they wore not to aooept it necessarily for
MRS. FLEMING.
it face value because It wa uncontradict
ed, but were to consider ber Intelligence,
her ability to observe and In spite of ber
few years whether or not for any reason
she would be prejudiced.
Tha Matter of Motive.
Touching briefly on the ease of tba prose
cution, the recorder said apropos to the
question of motive, It was immaterial
whether or not Mrs. Bliss was a legal bar
to Mrs. Fleming' enjoying her estate. It
waa only necessary for them, in order to
establish the fact of motive, to asoertata
whether or not th defendant thought
her mother stood In her way. It was L it
even necessary to establish a motive. If
they found that the defendant procured
the poison, put It In the ohowder and sent
It to her mother, thee facts were sufflolent
to establish a case of murder in th tint
degree. The establishing of a motive could
only strengthen the contention of th proa
yautlon. While disclaiming any desire to go Into
the question of the various abemlcal analy
se of the state' experts, the recorder nev
ertheless recapitulated the result esd re
minded the jury that thay had revealed the
presence of about 8U grain of areenle and
44 grains of antimony In the stomach and
contents of the stomach of Mra Bllsa.
After his reading the recorder rum laded
the Jury that a reasonable doubt was not
a mere susplolon, an Imaginary doubt, but
a substantial reason baaed on a lack ot
evldenoe. Absolute oertalnty wa not pos
sible often, he said, but If the evldenoe
satisfied their judgment beyond any uoh
Imaginary doubt, they were In duty bound
to find against the defendant.
