The following is the report Of the
Committee on Resolutions:
WHEREAs.-The Republican party,
true to the inspiration Of public faith
which committed % lts management
the affairs Of government. has fully
exemplified its loyalty 20 the interests
Of the people during period which
embraces the most trying portion Of
our National history, and
WHEREAs.-It again presents its
claim for the continued confidence Of
the people by the declaration Of
policy Of statesmsnship, which seeks
toIpTOteet fand preserve the fruits Of
aNAAAEAAAAAAA nEAM MAAA 01A
National prosperity depends; There
fore
ResOlrcd. /. We heartily endorse
the platform Of principles adopted by
the National Republican Convention
held ct Chicago, July Sd, 1884, and
pledge our support 10 the standard
bearers Of the party, james q. Blaine
and John A. Logan.
2. We denOunee the policy Of nul.
lificatiOn adopted by the Democratic
party Of Kansas, as fOreshadOWed I'm
their platform OF 1882, and exempli-
fed IN their administration Of the
Executive power Ofthe State, as being
inimical 10 good government, and full
Of danger to our institutions. Ohioers
whose official Oaths under the cOnBti-
tuition require them 70 ''see that the
laws are faithfully executed are
not vested with discretionary powers.
8. We fully subscribe to the prin-
ciples Of the Republican Platform in
declaring In favor Of obedience 10 all
laws, and affirm that good citizenship
demands q support Of this principle
In order that q spirit Of respect Tor
law, 90 essential TO public order, may
be inculcated among the people.
4. The question Of submitting to q
vote Of the people q proposition 20 re-
peal the ProhibltoFy Amendment to
the Constitution Of the State ls one
which should be decided by the ma
jority Of the electors IN each Repre-
sentative and Senatorial District, for
while political parties may delegate
power TO their representatives, In
legislative councils TO write laws upon
the Statute Books, the Constitution
can only be changed by authority Of
q majority Of all the electors Of the
State voting upon the question. The
Republican party has always main
tanned the right OF the majority TO
rule, and prosecuted q war 70 main
tain this principle In National Affairs,
while the Democratic party has an
tagonized this right, and now seeks |
through the imposition Of false issues, |
and the exaggerated claims Of public |
service rendered by Its eg0tistical /
chief during q brief period Of acei- !
dental power, to re-establish its con-
troll Of State affairs.
5. In accordance with the views /
herein expressed We will cause to be /
printed upon the ballots to be cast for /
the Republican nominee for Repre-
sentative In the S4th District the |
words, "FOF the resnbmission Of the |
PrOhibitory Amendment" and
Against the resubmission Of the |
PrOhibitOry Amendment" and we |
hereby invite our opponents to do |
likewise with the understanding that
the voice Of the majority Of all the |
voters Of the District as thus expressed |
shall be received by the Representa-
tive elect as an instruction upon this
question, and in the event Of q refusal
on the part Of our opponents to accept |
this plan Of securing q DOn-partisan
expression Of opinion upon the ques-
tiOn Of resubmissiOn, the nominee Of
this convention is hereby instructed
TO respect the wishes of a majority Of
those voting the Republican ticket,
as ascertained by the District Com
mittee.
8. We respectfully request the var
iOus canvassing Boards to canvass the
votes, For and Against Resubmis-
sion, +" In order that the wishes Of the
people may be fairly ascertained.
Z. We deem ii for the Interest OF
the Republican party that Senator
John J ingalls, should be retained In
the public service, and hereby In
struct our nominee for representative
to support his reelection TO the
United States Senate.
S. We call upon all citizens who
endorse the sentiments expressed in
the foregoing resolutions who sympa-
thiZe with the purposes and aims Of
the Republican party In National and
State affairs, 10 unite with US In a
cheerful, hearty support Of the nUml-
nees OF the Republican party, so that
Saline county may regain her old
position in the Republican column.
