RESOLVED, First-That we believe that III,
triumph OF the principles OF the Republican
party is essential to the welfare OF tn,
country and TO the preservation OF the re
suits Of the late civil strife, and consequent
ly that the election of its representatives In
the persons of Blaine and Logan Is impera
tive.
Second-That we believe in the purity o.
the personal character of these standard
bearers, and also believe In their trained ca
pacity rs statesmen to meet the claims of the
high offices for which they are in nomina
ti0n.
Thhd-That we protest against the corona
tion of conceded personal fmpurity as rep
resented by the head of the Democratic tick
ct, and while we deplorethe necessity we dc
not eyade the responsibility Of declaring oul
judgment to the world OF this insult to Chris
tian civilization embodied in such a nomi
tion for the Presidency of the Republic,
Fourth-That we are opposed to putting g
premium on dislOyalty. as presented by the
candidate for the Vice. Presidency Of the
Democratic party.
Fftb-That we exhort all well-meanine
and loyal citizens, regardless OF party, when
purity is at stake, not by voting for the Pro
hibitfon candidate, to cast half vote for the
Democratic candidate with the semi-sanc
tion OF impurity and dissipation, nor to cast
whole vote for a man whose name Is now
conspicuous synonym OF incapacity and
Inconsistency.
sirth-That we exhort our fellowcitizen
to aasl one vote for virtue in home; for pro
lection TO the rights OF the humblest citizens
at home and abroad; for protection fol
American industries; for the settlement OF
International differences by arbitration; fol
the war against polygamy; for DECENT treat.
mept OF the Indians; for the preservation OF
the results Of the wars of the Revolution and
of the rebellion: and for every sacred inter
est of our beloved country, by voting the
Republican ticket at the ensuing election.
A number OF ministers spoke, when Mr..
Blaine responded as follows:
