The following preamble and reso-
lutions were passed:
WHEREAS, 1t is net only right but ex-
pedient that the Republicans of Allegany
county should give an expression of opin-
ion and define their position on the issues
that will most likely be agitsted during the
coming campaign, and
WHEREAS, 1t is right and proper that
the people should be apprised OF our posi-
ton on National topics, therefore be it.
Resolced, BY the Republicans of ALE
gany county in convention assembled
l. That we approve of the course of
President Arthur as being wise, discreet
and conclliatory, and that we especially
commend his frmness In his veto of the
river and harbor appropriation bill
2. That we condemn the lavish expen.
diture OF the public money for enterprises
or improvements of doubtful utility that
do no benefit to the people at large and
consider that the surplus fond should be
applied to the payment of the pubic debt.
3. We believe that the time has arrived
when q reduction of Internal Revenue tax
alton is advisable and especially on such
articles as are in use by the masses of the
people, and bear hardly on the laboring
classes.
4. We believe in the maintenance of
such protective tariff as, willie il shall
mol discriminate in favor of any class of
manufactures, will yet afford such protec-
ton to our manufacturing interests as v ill
enable them to thrive and prosper, and to
maintain not only fair but liberal rate
of wages and compensation to the vast Ia
boring class that constitutes 80 large pro-
portion of our population.
3. Tnat while we believe in rigid econo-
my in the expenditure of the public mon.
ey, to the end that the burdens of the peo-
pie mag be lightened, and the debt of the
Nation rapidly exlingaished, yet we are
in favor OF such broad and comprehen-
sive system of public improvements, such
as may be classed as national In their char
acter, and such as may be necessary to de-
velop our vast resources and to as we'll
promote the national commerce and the
national welfare; and be it further
ResolCed, That our delegates to FEEDER
lex shall use all honorable effort to have
these resolutions or others of similar I'M
port adopted at that convention.
The county central committee to
serve for the ensuing year, was form
