The report of the committee was adopted
The committee on resolutions made the fol-
lowing report, which was adopted unanimously:
RESOLUTIONS.
ResolUed, That we, the Republicans of the
Second Congressional district of Minnesota, in
convention assembled, heartily subscribe to the
principles enunciated by the great Republican
party in its platform adopted at Chicago and
that these old time-honored principles are
worthy to be the guiding star of a free and
generous people on the road to success and
prosperity.
RESOLVED, That we recognize an interposition
uf divine providence in the action of the Chi
eago convention in presenting to the American
people, as their standard-bearer of the coming
election, the name of James A. Garfield, the
pure and able statesman, patriotic citizen,
soldier, the unimpeached and unimpeachable,
the embodiment of the self-made element in
this free republic, and that in General Chester
A Arthur, our candidate for Vice President,
we recognize an able statesman and patriotic
citizen.
Reso7ged, That the efforts of the Democratic
party, when last in control of Ethe government
to destroy it by our last war, and its recent at
tempt to utilize it's control of Congressional
power to defeat the execution of the fifteenth
amendment by endeavoring to Withhold the
means for Its enforcement, together with its
revolutionary action in struggling tOsmother the
executive veto under urgent public exigen-
cies industriously created for
the occasion as supplemented by the
systematic schemes of the people lately in re-
beIlion, to evade the spirit while obeying the
letter of the constitution, by creating through
the aid of their State governments novel
standard of citizenship, other than race, color
or previous condition of servitude, discloses a
controlling hereditary purpose at war with the
peace, prosperity and perpetuity of the union.
ReSoyged, That we hereby pledge ourselves to
support with earnestness and unanimity the
several candidates of the Republican party,
national and congressional. with loyaluess of
purpose, to remove all opportunity to the Demo
cratic party to assert control of the national
government by unconstitutional and revOlu-
tionary methods.
The committee on permanent organization
reported in favor OF the temporary officers
being made the permanent officers of the con-
vention, which report was adopted and Mr..
Rice renewed his thanks for the honor conferred
upon him.
A FIRE BRAND.
}. N. Searls, Esq, of Dakota, offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
ReSolred, That it is the foremost duty of the
Republicans of this district to redeem their
interests from the defeat of 1878, whereby was
lost to them all opportunity of participating in
the contest now being waged in the national
counsels over the enforcement of the consti-
tutional amendments, and the maintenance of
national policy which shall secure to every
man the equal protection of every law, and to
this end it is imperatively required that our
forces in the coming election be marshaled un.
der the leadership of some citizen whose abil-
ity to meet the demand of every emergency
will be at once recognized, whose streSgth will
be unimpaired by any dissension within the
party, whose policy is undimmed by any defect
and whom the people have not yet been per-
mitted to honor.
This resolution acted as a fire brand, and fol-
time it seemed as though there would be 9
split, bat a prompt motion to lay the reselu.
tion on the table cut off debate, and it was in
continently shelved.
