RESOLUTIONS.
Mayor Doughty, chairman of the committee
on resolutions reported the following:
Resozved, By the Republican convention for
the Second Congressional district:
That the clear duty of the National govern
ment is to protect and preserve to all its citi-
zens of whatever condition, in all their
political rights and privileges, guaranteed
them by the federal constitution and it's
amendments.
70 encourage and promote by all proper
means the most friendly relations and good
feeling between all sections of the country and
all classes of citizens.
To uphold the national faith and credit.
To restore stability to the national
finances by an early return to specie
payments and the preservation of a uniform
standard and measure of values, SO that the
rights of both labor and capital shall be re-
spected and secured.
To observe a wise economy in all matters { f
expenditure and appropriations of the public
money, to the end that the public burdens may
be lightened.
To elevate and purify the civil service of the
country, without interfering with that free and
independent exercise of political duties and
privileges belonging to every citizen.
Resolued, That we believe in such a judicious
system of public improvements and inland
navigation as will aid in the de-
velopment of our resources, give employment
to the laborer, and lessen the cost Of transport
alton of our agricultural products to the great
markets of the world.
Resolued, That we denounce the efforts of the
Democratic party to cripple and render inefi-
cient the army and navy of the United States.
RESOLVED, That we have full confidence in the
present national administration, and hereby
pledge it our hearty support in the mainten-
ance and preservation of Republican principles
and in the maintenance of honest government
for the people.
Mr.. Craft said the resolutions had the old
Republican ring about them, and he would
therefore move their adoption.
The Charman-If they have The old Repub-
lican ring about them, they might do to be
adopted without the ring.
The hint was not accepted by the convention,
for the ayes came out decidedly weak when
called for.
DISTRICT COMMITTEE.
Mr.. j. G. Stoever reported the following as
the members of the district committee:
William Wilson, Scott, chairman.
X. H. Killing, Brown.
H. B. Wilson, Goodhue
VIM. Schimmell, Nicollet.
G. Granrud, Kandiyohi.
w. H. Fuller, Wabashaw.
Levi Nutting Rice.
Gen. Jennison-Wlll the secretary read the
names again. l presume the committee is as
agree dupon, but would like to compare it with
my list.
The secretary accommodated the general by
rereading the list. and it is presumed it was
in accordance with the agreement, as no protest
was made, though Mr.. Craft thought the east
ern portion of the district DAD been
given greater strength in the
committee than it was entitled to.
A delegate moved its adoption.
Gen. Jennison read the list over by counties,
emphasizing each but making no comment.
A Redwood delegate allowed that that county
was to be a tower of strength in the approach
ing contest, and he therefore moved that the
name of James Mcmillan be added to the COM
mittee. Adopted.
Gen. Jennison said it was usual to have such
committee composed of an odd number so as
to insure a majority upon any question in dis
pute. In cases where the committee was one
sided, as in this instance, it would make no
difference, of course, but to follow out the
principle he would move to add the name of
W. j. Ives. of Mcleod. be added, which motion
prevailed, and Jennison subsidized.
THE CANDIDATE,
Mr.. Craft, the gentleman from Dakota, who APP
peared to have taken the contract to run the
greater portion of the convention, moved that
an informal ballot be had for representative
in the forty-sixth Congress.
The motion prevailed and the chair named
James Robletter, of Brown, and Robert Dea-
kin, of Goodhue, teilers.
Nominations were then called for, and Mr..
Craft nominated H. B. Strait, the present incum-
bent. The chair announced the nomination,
and then waited for ano ther, but the silence of
the tomb seemed to have fallen upon the con-
vention, and seeing indication Of any one
finding his tongue, he directed the secretary to
call the roll of counties, the vote resulting in
s. votes being cast, as follows:
II. B. Strait. SO S. P. Jennison 3
D. L. How. ......... 3 Sumner Ladd.... 5
M. G. Russell. ...... 8 Henry Poehler . !
Gordon E. Cole. ..... l M. S. Chandler. ). 2
G. T. Brown. .... 2
Gen. Jennison-As the vote shows a decided
majority in favor of ii. B. Strait and to save
him, l move his nomination by reclamation.
Mayor Doughty, of Wabashaw, representing
