On re-assembling in the afternoon,
while the committee was completing the |
nominations, the committee on resolu-
tions made their report. The resolu-
tions were taken up separately, discussed
quite at length and adopted unanimous
ly as follows
The Republicans of Orleans County,
in convention assembled, resolve:
First, That the platform of principles adopted by the
National Republican Convention of 1875 demands our
continued adheance and that the laws of the
should be fearlessy and impartially enforced in all
sections and that every citizen without distinction Of
color or locality should enjoy equal rights under the
law.
Second That the rights and interests of labor and
capital IDENTICAL and that the attempt of certain
parties and organizations secure class legislation and
to incte antpathies and strife between these two i'm
to EACH is raught with great danger to the country
and merits our strongest condemnation.
Third, That in our. judgment the financial welfare
of the country demands stable money, whether gold,
silver paper metalc it should be of such intrn-
sic worth to sell in the worlds market at its face
value currency it should be convertible into specie
| at the pleasure OF the holder.
Fourth. Thai every national obligation should be
met according to the letter and spirit of the promise
and that any agitation or legislation which tends to
impair the nations credit is detrimental the inter-
| ests of all.
Fifth That the times demand the most rigid econo-
my IN both national and state governments and that
we request the coming legislature and the incoming
officers OF the county to reduce expenses to the lowest
possible limit consistent with tn public welfare.
Sixth, Whereas, the evils and abuses connected with
the National Bankrupt Law were found great that
its repeal has met with almost universal approval and
whereas out present State Bankrupt Law would in
judgment be attended by the evils and abuses,
| therefore,
Resolved that recommend its unconditional re-
| peal by our next legislature.
Seventh, That we most heartily endorse the nomina-
ton of Gen. VIM. w. Grout for member of congress
cordially commend him to the of the district
gentleman eminently worthy their suffrages and we
pledge him our hearty and undivided support
Eighth, That pledge hearty support to the
candidates this day nominated.

mitted their report, which was adopted,
