RESOLUTIONS:
ResoIred, That we regard the continued ex-
istence OF the Republican party OF primary i'm
portance; the chief defender protector and vindi-
the future %eI as the I present @ call for it, w I
dom. patriotism and statesmanship.
Resolred, That in the Democratic party, esti-
mable in social and private life as many Of its
members are, we leOk in vain for the principles,
purposes and wisdom demanded for the perpetuity
can't fact Calling for the attsntiou Of every cIti
zen, that the House Of Representatives, largely
under its control has not originated or passed TO
a.conclusion a single measure tending TO promote
the interests of business Of labor in any Of their
diversified forms. On the contrary, IT has ex-
less investigaticns and has well earned the ap-
pellation Of The Great 1ncompetents."
RcsOlred, That we respectfully rscGmmend to
party two current maIims: First. consistency is
jewel" and, second, people who live in glass
houses should not throw stones" And while We
are anxious so far as possible, to bury the bitter
and bloody past, and to cultivate kind feeling
and friendly relations we suggest that this cannot
of the character and acts ofthose who and
stood by the nation in its hours OF extreme peril
and on the tields Of battle especially If the de.
nuncation and aspersion emanate from those
who did all they could TO destroy the hrst nation
ofthe civilized world.
ResOfved, That we fully approve the admins
tratiOn OF U. 5. Grant, an accomplished general
hero Of rare ability and success the fields Of
battle-he has been eminently wise and prudent
as President Of nation. and his patriotism and
statesmanship have both been fully established,
and amid reckless yituDeraton and low asper-
sion no one has or can point 10 q single corrupt
bad act In the two terms Of his administration
History, impartial and fair, will place his
in the true and g-and positions which he has won
and held q military chiefiain and statesman.
Res0fred, That we believe in the right and ad-
vantages Of selfgovernment, local as well as ma
tional, and that o government for the District
should be provided wisely, combining the inter-
ests Of the National Government with the inter-
ests Of the citizens by means Of appropriate ap
pontments and the elective franchise; the inter
ests Of the latter should not be ignored, but be
carefully studied and promoted, and especially
because the District Is unrepresented In either
House Of Congress.
Resolred, That the Republican citizens of the
District should be represented In the Cincinnati
Convention by tried and consistent members Of
the party, and not BY those who n the last cam
paign arrayed themselves against T. 5. Grant
and the departed Henry Wilson.
Resolred, That the delegates Of the District to
