be used to improve the frontier, and
then let all the people, cities and al, be
taxed to pay the bonds.
Mr., Washburn, in reply to the first
speaker, explained that he did not wish
to smother the resolution, by action Of
the committee, but there was disagree.
ment among the committee in regard to
it and so he thoug ut best that it be vo.
ted on separately.
A few more remarks we're made, prin.
cipally in opposition to incorporating
anything about the bonds as principle
of the Republican party policy; it being
claimed that it had nothing to do with
politics.
The resolution was rejected by vote
of79 to II, and the remainder of the
resolutions unanimously adopted. The
following are the
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.

party of Minnesota, in convention as
semblad, reahrm their devotion to the

our State affairs, under Republican
policy, has been marked by that fidelity

maintaining the Republican party in
in power.

United States with other nations

Government as citizens Of the United
States as fully as if they we're native
