THE BOLTER DENOUNCED.
Resoluei ms .+dopted by the Regular r.
, publican Convention in the Forty-FOus:A
Senatorial: District.
WHEREAS, A body of men headed by
s. G.. Comstock, self called and self elected,
met at Moorhead on Oct. 10, and not dar-
ing to insult the intelligence of the people
by pretending to be the Republican con-
vention, yet assumed to act for the Repub-
lican party of this district while in fact
representing nothing but the corporate and
monopolist power in the same, and where
as: The so-called county convention by
which its delegates were chosen, made no
pretense to being Republican conventions,
but were composed of every element op-
posed to the Republican organization of
this district, Democrats, disappointed can
didates and non residents.
RESOLVED, That we reafirm the princi-
pies which have from its organization
controlled the Republican party, and un-
der which the country has advanced to its
present condition and unparalleled pros
perity, and regard with equal disfavor the
attacks of enemies without and of traitors
/ within.
RESOLVED, That we recognize the highim-
| p~ortance of true civil service reform, and
regard the improper use of political pat
ronage in perpetuating political rings and
their tools in their tenure of power as
fraught with the greatest danger to true
Republican interests.
Resolued, That we regard with equal dis
favor the irregular and disgraceful tactics
of Knute Nelson and his managers, as ex-
emplifed in their indefensible attempt by
fraud andSbolting, in almost every prelim-
mary caucus and county convention, to
secure control over the Detroit convention,
their shameful refusal to submit to the
overwhelming preference of the Republican
voters of the Fifth district, as there express
sed, their evident determination to per-
manently disrupt and ruin the Republican
party in this district, and their shameful
use of the power in the old Third district
ring and of public patronage to attain that
end.
RESOLVED. That we recognize the Hon.
Charles F. Kindred as the regular Republi-
can nominee for representative from this
district and denounce the so-called nomi-
nation of Knute' Nelson as a shameless,
causeless and wholly inexcusable attempt
to foist upon this district a man whose
antecedents, whose instincts and whose
connections are hostile to its highest in
~terests.
Resolued, That we recognize Knute Nell
son as the nominee of the Minneapolis
pine ring and of the railroad corporations,
and as the representative of every
interest opposed to the development and
best interests of this district.
Resolred, That We recognize in Charles
F.. Kindred a man to whose clear foresight,
business ability and broad views is due in
a high degree the wonderful growth of
this new Northwest, and one who by ma
ture, by training and by community of in
terests stands as the able and earnest cham
pion of those interests.
RESOLVED, That we re cognize the import
ance of the magnificent grant of lands for
the purpose of internal improvement; that
we regard these lands and the funds aris-
ing from their sale as a sacred trust, held
by the state for the benefit of the settler,
and that we denounce without measure the
~disgraceful attempt of the last legislature
to divert this fund to the payment of the
old railroad debt of southeastern Mime
sofa, as a most fragrant breach of trust,
and especially that we denounce s. G..
Comstock for his advance of this nefari-
Gus scheme as unworthy the confidence Of
the people and a traitor to the district.
RESOLVED, That we regard with fear and
distrust the growing power of the great
railroad corporations; that we demand suit
able legislation for the prevention and
correction of the growing abuses of that
system for relief from its uncomfortable tyr
amy and for the improvement and devel-
opment OF our natural and artificial water
highways and especially protest against
the candidacy, at this critical period, of 8,
G. Comstock and Knute Nelson, men whose
influence, wealth and power are wholly de.
rived from their subserviency to this des.
potic interest.
Reso!ued, That we recognize in W.. ]
Bodkin and J. ". Childs, our nominees fol
senator and representative, men who by
ability and integrity command our highest
respect, and are worthy the higest honor
that can be conferred on them by the vo
ters of this district.
