After lengthy speeches by Capt. Allen
and Mr.. Hort, the report of the COM
mittee on resolutionswas read. AS finally
adopted by the convention, the report
as submitted by Gen. Cutcheon. is as
follows:
The Republicans of Michigan in state
convention assembled declare anew
their devotion to the principles and
organizations of the National Republi-
can party, and adopt as their own the
platform of the National Republican
convention, upon questions of national
policy, and pledge their utmost efforts
for the success of its principles and CEN
didates.
Here followed the platform adopted
by the National Republican convention
in Chicago.
The Republican party recognizes the
need of more efficient laws To protect
the rights CT the laboring men of the
state in obtaining the just reward for
their labor, and it therefore promises
that it will favor tho enactment of such
lien laws and other measures as will
carefully guard and promote the inter-
ests of the laboring men. That the Re-
publican party pledges itself to resist
the practice OF importing into the state
the convicts and contract laborers OF
other states, territories or countries, to
be employed in competition with the Ia
boring men of this state.
The Republican party has always
recognized that the unrestricted manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liquors
are productive of evils of the great
est magnitude; and that it is
the duty of the law-making
power to adopt from time to
time such measures rs are found most
practicable and efficient for the restraint
and removal of such evils; and it now
reaflirms that its policy will be in the
future to accomplish the same result by
enactmeEts of such laws as experience
