In taking the chair Senator Edmun DIS
sand, the outlook for the Republican party
for 1884, was, at this early period of the
campaign better than at any time in the
past fifteen years. Every perso1 believes

only exercised wisdom in selecting can
didate. The following resolutions were
offered by SenatorHoar.

agreed upon by that committee and the
Republican national committee.
ResoIUed, That we express our sympathy
for and will extend our cooperation in all
practicable ways to all southern Republi-
cans, struggling to exercise the vital and
fundamental right of free suffrage in pop
uIar elections, and no less do we pledge
our friendship and assistance to all citi-
zens of the southern states who have not
| been Republicans, but who are
manfully contending against the pro-
scriptions or murder of voters, and
favor the freedom of politics, honest
political methods and the public educa-
| tion of the whole people; and we recon-
mend prompt and cordial union of the
Republicans with allsuch patriotic citizens
in combined efforts to redeem their states
from the fatal domination false ideas and
