| WHEREAS, The Republican party has from
its birth to the present time been the cham
pion of measures just to all and Of progress
| sive, enlightened legislation upon oil subjects
touching the paramount interests of the citi-
Gems. Therefore,
4 4 be IL Resotied. That were-affirn our devo-
| ton to the declaration of principles laid
down by the National Republican Conven-
| ton of $780,
| WHEREAS, Agriculture is one of the prin-
cipal resources of Montana Territory, and
any legislation which would in any manner
| Interfere with the free and absolute use by
by the first appropriations of water rights in
this Territory for purposes of irrigation,
would be of incalculable injury to the pros
Eperity of cur people. Therefore; o..
| Belt Resolved, By the Republicans Of Deer
| Lodge County, in Convention assembled, that
the Legislative delegation from this county
be and are hereby instructed to oppose all
measures which would in any manner inter-
fere with the rights of appropriations to the
waters in the streams of this Territory, or
tend to the devastation of the timber in the
| vicinity thereof for speculative purposes.
| WHEREAS, Experience has taught us that
/ tho employment of convict labor, in other
| than public works, is prejudicial to the
interests of free labor; and, WHEREAS,
The cost to the Territory in guarding con-
| victs when engaged in labor outside of the
prison walls, and recapturing those who
! escape while so engaged, neutralizes the
benefit derived therefrom. Therefore,
| Belt Resolred, That our Legislative delega-
ton be and is hereby instructed to use all hon.
orable efforts to have the necessary laws
| enacted to prevent the employment of con-
victs on other than public works outside of
| the prison walls. WHEREAS, We hold that
labor and capital are natural allies and not
enemies, and the laws Of Montana Territory
lernbody acts Of protection to capital while
labor Is still practically unprotected in its
lrights Therefore, = ~.
/. Belt ResoIred, That the statutes of this Ter.
ritory should be so amended that the just
wages due all employees shall constitute 9
first and cumulative lien, without record Of
notice, upon all real or personal property o.
the employer, be it person or corporation
within the Territory of Montana, for whom
such labor IL performed and our Legislativ,
delegation is hereby instructed to favor ant
procure the enactment of legislation havin,
this object in view. VIE "..
And while mailing with satisfac
!. ton the advent of and extending t,
railroads and other corporate enterprises
cordial welcome, we hold that it is an essen
tial feature of good government that th
burdens of taxation be. fairly and eiuitabl
I apportoned. Therefore, .1
