90 That while the Republican party dis
claims any sympathy with indiscriminate war
upon associated capital, with blind disre-
gard of its rights, it is entirely independent of
all corporate power; it is opposed to all
schemes in state, county and city, whereby,
under the pretense of providing gas and water
to communities, or irrigation for farming n
few men seek to enrich themselves by impos-
ing heavy burdens upon the people; it repels
all attempts of corporations to Erce into office,
through Republican conventions, men who
will guard their interests rather than those of
the public, and expects to be judged by its acts
and the character of its candidates, rather
than by the false accusations of its enemies,
who. after having had tho executive power of
the State for the past eight years, divided
equally between them, can present no better
claim for the public confidence than loud and
empty professions of horror at alleged corrup-
tions and protilgacy In public affairs, which
they themselves have managed and controlled.
RESOLVED, That wo earnestly invite the CO.
operation of the great farming interest of the
state in the reduction of tho cost of trans
portation, the reduction and equalization of
taxes, and tho Inauguration of II plan for
irrigation, by representatives of their own Sc
lection in the Legislature.
RESOLVED, That confident of the substantial
agreemc mt on National and State questions of
al who sustained the nation during the great
civil war; regretting the alterations among
Republicans which have been too apparent
during the past few years. desirous of making
all becoming concessions to secure harmony,
we cordially invite all who are opposed to the
restoration Of tho Democratic party to power,
to forget the striies of faction, to disregard the
cOunselS of those who seek to continue un-
seemly and unnecessary divisions, and keoping
in view the overwhelming Importance of tho
approaching Presidential election, aid in re-
uniting the Republican party of the State, and
! a
ism and real reform.
