Rensselaer Republican, Volume 20, Number 51, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 August 1888 — The Victorious Platform. [ARTICLE]

The Victorious Platform.

The national Republican platform of 1888 demonstrates in the clearest and most unequivocal terms that there is a U'ido difference between the principles,, spirit and aims of the two leading parties of tho country, the Democratic, party incontrol of the federal government today and the Republican party. The manner in which tho Chicago convention haa , taken up the challenge of President Cleveland and his obsequious party followers, and has defined tho Republican policy regarding the tariff and the surplus and other largo .questions, leaves no middle ground for the quibblers, the straddlers and the vaeillators. The lines aro drawn so plainly .that there can be no mistake, no hoodwinking of voters this time. The issuo of free trade versus protection is joined at last and must be fought to a finish. This is a platform worthy of a great, patriotic, national party. It is broad, liberal and above all distinctively American. Over it float the Republican colors —the red, white and blue. In hoc signo vjnees! On this ground and under this flag we shall conquer!—Buffalo Commercial Advertiser. ~~ :r
