Tho dclny in calling tho convention to order was due to the completion of <" some resolutions that were to be pre sented. But the music of tho band and the evidont good humor of the crowd made tho time pass rapidly and there was no manifestation of Impatience.

PLATFORM ADOPTED Principles and Policies of Republican Parly Outlined TME ADMINISTRATION IS ENDORStD Administration Strongly Endorsed and the Party's Record Cited as a Pledge for the Future ? Democratic Party Declared Untrustworthy, Es pecially as Regards the Currency and Tariff ? Congressional Action on Suffrage Restrictions Favored. Following is tho full text of the plat form of tho Republican party an adopt ed by tho National Convention In ses sion In tho city of Chicago on Juno 1:2nd: "Fifty years ago tho Republican party came into existence, dedicate!, among other purposes, to the great ?.ask of arresting tho extension of human slavery. In 1800 It elected its flrst President. During twenty-four of the forty-four years which have elapsed since tho election of Lincoln, tho Republican party bus held com plete control of the government. For eighteen more of the forty-four years It has hold partial control, through i h<> ??o>?scssion of one or two branches of the government, while the Demo cratic party, during the same period, has had completo control for only two years. This long tenure of power by the Republican party Is not due to chance. It Is a demonstration that the Republican party has commanded the confidence of tho American people for nearly two generations to a degree never equaled in our history, and has displayed a high capacity for rule and government which has been made even more conspicuous by tbt incapacity and I infirmity of purposo shown by its op ponents. "The Republican party entered upon its present period of complete supre macy In 1X97. Wo have every right to congratulate ourselves* upon the work since then accomplished, for it has added lustro even to the traditions of the party which carried the govern- ; inert through the storms of civil war. "We then found tho country, after four years of Democratic rule, in evil plight, oppressed with misfortune and doubtful of the future. Public credit ?had/b'een lowered, the revenues were declining, the debt was growing, the administration's aUitudc towards Spain was feeble qnd mortifying, tho stand . ar'd of valuQs was threatened and un certain, labor was unemployed, busl j ness was sunk In the depression which | had succeeded the panic of 1893, hope I was faint and confidence was gone. Unhappy Condition^ Met. "We mot these unhappy conditions vigorously, effectively and at once. 'iWe replaced a Democratic tariff law, based on free trade principles and garnished with sectional protection, by a consistent protective tariff; and In dustry, freed from oppression and stim ulated by the encouragement of wise 1 iws, has expanded to a degree never before known, has conquered new mar- j kcts and has creatcd a volume of ex ports which has surpassed imaglna- | Hon. Under the Dingley tariff, labor | hns been fully employed, wages have risen, and all industries havo revived and prospered. "We firmly established the gold standard, which was then inCnaced with destruction. Confidence returned to business, and with confldcnco an unexampled prosperity. "For deficient revenue, supplement ed by Improvident issues of bonds, we gave the country an incomo which pro duced a large surplus and which en abled us, only four years after the Spanish war had closed, to remove over one hundred millions of annual war taxes, reduco the public debt, and lower the lntorettt charges of the govern ment. "The public debt, which had been so lowered that in time of peace a Demo cratic administration made large loans at extravagant rates of interest in or der to pay current expenditures, rose under Republican administration to its highest point, and enabled 'tis to borrow it c 2 per cent, even In time of war. Expansion Record. "We refused to palter lone with the miseries of Cuba. Wo fought a quick and victorious war with Spain. We set Cuba free, governed the island for throe years, and then gave It to the Cuban people, with order restored, with ample revenues, with education and public health established, free from d< bt and connected with the United States by wise provisions for our mu tual Interests. "We have organized U?6 government cf Porto Hico; and its people now en joy peace, freedom, order and pros perity. "In the Philippines, wo have ?op pressed insurrection, established order and given to life and property a secu rity never known there before. We have organized civil government, mad* it effective and strong in administra tion and have conferred upon the peo ple of those islands the largest civil liberty they have ever enjoyed. ? "By our possession of the Philip pines, we were enabled to take prompt and effective action In'tho relief of the legations at Pekin and a decisive part in preventing the partition and preserving the Integrity of China. -"The possession of a route for an isthmian canal, so long the dream of ] American statesmanship, Is now an ac complished fact. The great work ol connecting the Pacific and Atlantic by al catral ttrBt last t>o?\m.~ana II Is due tb the Jfcepuhitcan party. "We /have passed lawa which will bring the arid lands of the United State? within the area of cultivation. "We have reorganized the army and put it in tho highest' state of efficiency, "We have passed Htwe for the im provement and support of the mlliUa. "We have pushed forward the build ing of the navy, the defence and pro tection of our honor and our intereata. "Our administration of the great de partments or the government baa been honest and efficient, and wherever wrong-doing haw been discovered, the Kepnbllcan administration ha* not he* | itatod to probe the evil and bring of fenders to justice. without regard to parly or political ties. Tru?t Regulation. " I <a w s on act oil by the Republican party, whl? h (ho Democratic party fail ed to enforce, and which woro intended for the protection of the public against th.o unjust discrimination or the illegal encroachment of vast Aggregations of capital, have been fearlessly enforced by a Republican President; and new laws, insuring reasonable publicity as to the operations of Kreat corporations and providing additional remedies for the prevention of $li?<'t'iminatlon in freight rates, have been passed by a Wtfpublteati -Congress. '*Tn this record of achievement dur ing the past eight years may bo road the pledge^ whi< h the Republican party has fuldlled. We promise to continue these policies, ?ud wo declare our con stant adherence to the following prin ciples; Principles Declared. "Protection, which guards and do volops our Industries, Is ft cardinal policy of the Itepublican party. The measure of protection should always at least equal the difference In tho cost :>f production at homo and abroad. Wo Insist upon the maintenance of the principles of protection, and. therefore, rates of duty should bo readjusted only when conditions have so changed that the public interest demands thtdr al teration. but this work cannot, safely be committed to any other hands than those of tho Republican party. To en trust It to tho Democratic party la to Invite disaster. Whether, as in IK'JIi, the Democratic party declared tho pro tective tariff unconstitutional, or whether it demands tariff reform or tariff revision, its real object Is always tho destruction of the protective sys tem. However specious tho name, tho purpose Is ever the same. Democratic tariff has always been followed by busi ness adversity; a Republican J,arlff, by business prosperity. To a Republi can Congress and a itepublican d'/csl dent, tiiis great question can l?o fiafoly Intrusted. When the only free trade country among tho ^mat nations agi tates a return to protection, the chief protective country should not falter In maintaining it. "We hove extended widely our for eign markets, aiul we b'dlovo in the adoption of all practicable methods for their further extension, including com mercial reciprocity wherever reciprocal arrangements can be effected con sistent with tbe principles of protec tion and without Injury to American ngrieulturo. American labor or any J American Industry. The Gold Standard. "We 'believe it to ho the duty of the Republican party to uphold tho gold standard and the integrity and vji^o of our national ciffretitfy. Tho main tenance of the gold standard, estab lished by the Republican party, can not be safely committed to tho Demo cratic party, whfoh resisted its Adoption, ?and has never given any proof since that time of belief in it or fidelity to it. r "\VhiIo. every other industry has prospered under tho fostering aid of Republican legislation. American ship ping engaged in foreign trade in com petition, low wagps und heavy subsidies of foreign governments, lias not. for many years received from the govern ment of the United States adequate en couragement of nny kind. Wo. there fore, favor legislation which will en courage and build up tho American merchant marine, and wp cordially ap prove tho legislation of' the last Con gress which created the merchant ma rine commission to investigate and re port upon this subject. Maintaining the Navy. "A navy nawjcrful onough to <Jef<jnd tho United Sthtos against nny attaca, to uphold tho Monroo doctrine and to watch oyer our commorco, is essen tial to the safoty and tho wolfaro of tho American people. To maintain such a navy is the fixed policy of tho Republican party. "Wo cordially approve tho attitude of5 President Roosevolt and Congress in regard to tho exclusion of Chinese labor, and promise a continuance of tho Republican policy in that direc tion. "Tho civil swvlco law was placed on tho statute books by tho Republi can party, which has always sustain ed it, and we renew our former declar ations that it shall bo thoroughly and honosl.lv enforced. "Wo are always mindful of the country's debt to tho soldiers and sailor* of the United States, and w? believe In making ample provision for them, and in tho liberal administra tion of tho pension laws. ' "Wo favor tho peaceful settlement of International difficulties by arbitra tion. "We commend the vigorous efforts made by the administration to protect American citizen's In foreign lands, nnd pledge oursolvcs to Insist upon tho just and equal protection of alt cur citizens abroad. It is tho un questionable duty of tho government to procure for all our citizens, with out distinction, the rights of travel and sojourn in friendly countries, and wo declare ourselves in favor of all proper efforts tending to that end. "Our groat interests and our grow ing commerce in the Orient render the condition of China of high impor tance to the United States. Wo cor dially commend the policy pursued in that direction by tho administrations of President MeKinloy and Presldei.t fioosovolt. Suffrage Restriction. "We favor such Congiesalonal ac tion a3 shall determine whether, by Fpecial discriminations, tho electWe franchise In any State has been un constitutionally limited, and, If such Is the ease, wo demand that represen tation In Congress and In the electoral college shall be proportionally reduced as directed by tho constitution q{ Jhe "United States.^ Combination* of capital and of la bor are tho results of tho ecomonlc movement of tho ago, but uelther must be permitted to lnfrlngo upon tho rights and Interests dMhe.people. Such combinations, when lawfully formed for lawful purposes, ,4re alik* entitled to tho protection of the taw*, and neither can ho permitted to break them. "The great statesman and patriotic American, William McKloley. whe was re-elected by the Republlcah-wr ty to the Presidency four years ago, was assassinated Just at the threshold of hU second term. The entire a* lion mourned his untimely death and did that justice to his great qualities of itiiud and character which history will coil Arm and repeat. AdmlrilCtratlon Endorsed. ^The American people wero fortmy ate in his successor, to whom they turnod with a trust and a confidence which have been fully JuBtiflod. J'rcs ident Roosevelt brought to the greAt responsibilities (bus sadly forced upon him a clear head, a bravo hoart, nn oarnest patriotism and high ideals of public duty *pd public sorvlce. True to the principles of tho Itepubllcan party and to tho policies which that party had declared, ho has also shown himself ready for every emergency, and has tm* new and vital questions with abllltly and with success. "The confidence of the people In his Justice, inspired by his public careec, enanied nun to render, perSdbally, an inestimable service to the country by bringing about a settlement of tho coal strike, which threatened such dis astrous results at tho opening of win ter In 1902. (fflr foreelgn policy under his admin istration has not only been ablo, vig orous and dignified, but In tho high* est degree sucecssf.il. Th# fi&mpllcat ed questions which anise In Veno. zuola wero settled In such ? way^by President Roosevelt that thq, Mghftoo doctrine was signully vindicated and Ihe cause of peace and arbitration ireatly advanced. "His prompt and vigorous action in Panama, which wo commend in tho highest terms, not only secured to us tho canal routo but avoided foreign complications which might have beon o.' a very serious character. "He has continued Uio policy of President McKlnley in the Orient and our position In China, signalized by our recent commarcinl treaty with that empire, has never been so high. "Ho secured the tribunal by which the vexed and perilous question of the Alaskan bouftdry was llnally settled. "Whenever crimes against human It y have been pcrept rated which have shocked our people, his protoat has been made and our good o(Ilee3 have been tendered, but always with i"io re gard to international obligations. "Under his guidance wo find our selvofl at peace with all the world and never were wo more ?ves?cctod or our wishes more regatdca* by fotblgn na tions. "Pre-epilently succesBful In regard to our foreign relations, ho has been equally fortunato in dealing with do mestic questions. Tho country has known tiiat. the public credit and tho national currency wero absolutely hafo in tho hands of hl3 administra tion. In tho enforcement of tho laws lie 1ms shown not only couraKO but tho wisdom which understands that to permit laws to bo violated or dis regarded opens flip door to anarchy while tho Just enforcement of tho law Is tho soundest conservatism. He has hold firm to tho fundamental Am erican doctrine, that all men must obey the law, that thero must be no distinction botween rich and poor, be tween strong and weak, but that Jus tice and equal* jirotcclJioD VifitffT tho law must be secured to every citizen without regard to race, cr<?od or con dition. i His administration has boon, throughout, vigorous and honorable, high-minded and patriotic. We com mend It without reservation to the considerate judgment of the American peoplo. CAROLINA SEASIDE RESORT. V/rlghtsvllle Beach Unsurpassed For Health arid Pleasure.
