SAEA1oaA, Sept. 1.-THE following
resolutions were adopted:
Reselsed, That this financial achieve.
ment Of the administration is OF the
next Importance to its work Of the pres
ervatiOn Of the nation itself. as attested
by the rapid liquidation Of the great
public debt incurred 10 meet national
emergency, and by the reduction of the
rate of interest to its present low figure
aud that the policy Of the party being
taxation at the lowest practicable limit
and by the stricteet system. to reduce
the Government expense and the mum.
ber Of tfose employed in the collection
Of tbs revenue, has thus relieved the
public OF all unnecessary burdens.
Rsso,ced. That public services should
be placed upon proper basis by ade-
quate legislation, 70 as to give facilities
for the execution Of laws now upon the
statute books, with a competitive test
for admission to service, to be managed
% a. TO secure the necessary quali6ca-
tion for the position, together with q
fixed term for incumbents, removal from
Office during the term Of appointment
to be only for cause.
Resoipsd, That the recent Law of Con-
gress, des1gned to suppress polygamy,
which is against the moral sense Of
mankind, prevents the administration
Of justice through the usual instrumen-
tally Of law, approves itself To the peo-
pie, and that it should 10 supplemented
by such laws az inay be necessary to at
tain the object in visw.
The resolutions following this eulo-
giZes the State administration Of Gov.

sent on questions which have heretofore
occupied much public attention. such as

influence of corporations in this contest
Ito b6 judged by its past declarations
and acts.
Resoised. That equitable taxation,
reaching corporations as well az per-
sons, il approved Of al . correct sys-
TEN, which should be perfected. The
practical results of recent legislation
upon the subject fully Justify the action
Of the Republican party in its adoption.

ing the people or unfairly discriminat-
ing against local interests are wrong in
principle, and should not be tolerated.
Reso'red, That stringent legislation
should be enacted 20 secure purity and

possible safeguards should be thrown
about these sources of the political &C
tion Of tbs people.
Kesoire1, That tho practice of appeal
ing to the Legislature to overrule the
action Of local authorities, when coufin-
ing themselves within the powers con-
ferred upon them, should be discour-
aged both by tho Legislature and the
Governor, and should be resorted to
only In extreme casea.
Resoised, That changes In the furda-
mental law should not ordinarily be
the subject Of party action, but they
should, when proposed, always be care
fully acrutinized by the people, who
should signify their wishes with refer

anime with intelligent oaro tho COnsti-
tuttonal amendments submitted to
them, and 10 express their wishes thore-
ON.
