To the convention now in session
your committee beg leave to submit |
the following:
Resolced,-That we are proud of the |
historic achievements of the National |
Republican party in war and in peace, |
and believe that it is destined to rule the |
Nation until her poorest citizens, black |
or white, shall be enabled without terror |
to cast a free ballot, and secure an honest |
count.
ResoIUed, That we heartily endorse the
reform in our State expenditures, and
listing laws enacted at the last session of
the Legislature, and recommend such
further legislation in the same direction
as will secure economy in all State eX-
penses, and perfect equality in taxation.
Resolced, That believing intemperance
to be political, financial and moral evil,
it is the duty of all good citizens to aid in
creating and maintaining such public
sentiment as to secure the impartial en-
foreement of our prohibitory laws alike
against the rich and the poor. and to Sc
cure such further legislation as will pro-
tect our property, our persons, and our
lands against the drink curse.
ResolUed,-That we will arise OH the
morning of election. red-hot to keep the old
fashion Republican majority of Spun
ky Lamoille up to the line, and to elect
the ticket this day nominated, with the
same patriotic enthusiasm as when led to
battle by Lincoln or Garfield.
The nomination of officers was then
'esumed, resulting in choice Of the
named gentlemen, all of
whom were chosen by reclamation :;

town. There was some difficulty in
fixing the last named Office upon any
one, but by mastery stroke at the
hand of Mr.. Parker of Cambridge, it !
fell to the lot of the Cady's Falls in
surance man. Dodge, equal to the oc-
casion, arose and said that under
standing that his name would be set

dates, he believed he would accept.

duced by Hon. Geo. Wilkins of
