Resolved, by the Republicans Of Dee
Lodge County in Convention assembled
LIST. That we pledge anew our allegiance
TO the Republican party aud proudly refer to
the record Of its past acts a. surety for Its
future adherence TO just principles. That In
National issues we heartily endorse the plat
ny INC last NhllUHAl nspuDll-
can Convention assembled al Chicago.
I'd. That 10 Territorial aud County mat.
tiers we believe In supporting and strength
eniRg by all honorable means our political
organizations, and that the will of majority
should always be the rule for the govern
ment Of cur action.
Sd. That although we shall have no vote
for Presidential electors at the coming cleo.
ton, nevertheless we very earnestly endorse
the nominees of the National Republican
Convention and hail with del gbt their pres
ent brilliant prospects for election. We rec.
ognizs James G. Blaine and John A. Logan,
not only as illustrieus opponents Of the liv-
ing principles which have characterized the
Republican party since its organization, but
also in their individual capacity, on account
of their superior ability, stsiesmanlike com.
prehension of the vital issues of the day and
the fearless exhibition of their political con-
victions on every proper occasion, we know
them TO be fit leaders OF the best elements OF
American civilization.
4th. That we appreciate The action of our
Delegates to the National Republican Con.
vention In securing the adoption by that
body of the resolution recommending that
the selection of Federal officials for the Ter
ritores shall be made from bona fide citizens
thereof, and we feel especially grateful To
those delegates In recommending as . mem
Der Of the National Republican Committee
Capt. James II. Mills. q citizen Of Deer
Lodge county, whom we esteem as an able
and conscientious advocate Of Republican
experience and integrity as proper person
to fill that position or any other within the
gift cf the people Of Montana Territory, and
We now, with great reluctance, caused only
BY his own positive prohibition, refrain from
presenting bis name rs a candidate for Del
egate to Congress TO the Republican Terri
torial Convention to meet In Helena on the
9th inst.
9Th. That we favor and would urge upon
oil Republicans the adoption NJ the coming
election Of the Constitution framed by the
late Convention at Helena, which was com
posed Of the ablest men Of the Territory oil
Montana, regardless Of their political afilia
lions and We would threrefors recommend
that the words, "For the Constitution" be
printed upon the Republican tickets for Deer
Lodge county.
9th. That believing the existing laws re
lsting to the land grant railroads have At the
instance of the Companies owning them been
90 framed Is to enable them TO escape THAR
Just proportion of taxation, It Is the duty
of the Delegate Of Montana To support and
aid by every means In his power action by
Congress to compel such companies To So
cure the survey of said granted lauds 1t the
earliest practicable day, and TO take out pat
ents for such lands Immediately after such
survey is made: or, In their failure so TO do,
that the said lands shall be forfeited 10 the
United States. We further ask the Legisla
ture Of Montana to earnestly memorable
Congress on this subject, setting forth the
exacting and selfish policy Of the Northern
Pacific Company 10 Montana; It's excessive
charges for lands; the outrageous reserva
tions IL makes In conveying titles, and the
rigor with which II has arbitrarily and hastily
compelled settlers to purchase Of IL lands
where doubt existed whether the company
