threatened overthrow of the McKinley bill and our system of protection. 3. That we are in favor of maintaining both gold and silver as legal tender, and that every dollar—gold, silver or paper—shall be kept of equal value. We denounce cheap and depreciated money. 4. We endorse the administration of Benjamin Harrison. 5. We denounce the attack of the present administration upon our pension system, and assert that Its pretexted economy is an attempt to destroy the whole pensionsystem. 6. Prohibition Is no test of Republicanism. Our prohibition law is strong, but its retention or repeal must be determined by the General Assembly, and we relegate to that body the regulation of the liquor traffic. At the conclusion of the committee’s report a full State ticket was nominated. Gen. I. D. Jackson, of Des Moines, receiving thetaomination for Governor. ’
