RESOLUTIONS.
During twenty-four years of power
the Republican party has emancipated
and enfranchised the slaves, brought
the nation safely through terrible
civil war, re- established the Union on
a firmer and more enduring basis, re-
stored specie payments, extinguished a
great portion of the public debt, and
provided for the manned and wounded
soldiers of the republic, their widows
and orphans, through a system of
pensions the most magnificent in the
history of nations.
This great party has given to our
country Lincoln, Grant and Garfield,
names which will never die.
Notwithstanding its great achieve
ments in the past its work is not yet
done, or its mission accomplished.
In the campaign now pending it re-
mains for the great party to assert it's
supremacy at the ballot-box, in order
that good government NAV continue
at Washington, and bring forth still
greater fruits for the benefit and pro-
lection of the people.
AS the exponent and defender of a
Tariff, not for revenue exclusively
but for the protection of honest labor
against unjust competition from pau
per Europe, the Republican party de-
serves, and should receive the suffrages
of every laboring man, be he either
the man who labors with his hands or
his brain.
For the eighth time the Republican
party presents Il Presidential ticket
for the votes of the people, In James
&. Blaine, of Maine, and John A.
Logan, of Illinois, we have the emf
nent statesman, and the model soldier,
fit representatives of Republican prin-
ciples.
Proud of the glorious record of our
party, and proud of its great chieftains,
we, the members of the Blaine and
Logan Club, of Bridgeton, hereby re-
solve that we will render to the candi-
dates and the cause our hearty and
untiring support from now until the
close of the polls on November 4th.
The resolutions were adopted amid
applause.
A roll of membership was opened,
and nearly one hundred persons signed.
After the transaction of some routine
business the Club adjourned with three
hearty cheers for Blaine and Logan.
Beginning with Saturday evening,
September 27th, Grosscup's Hall will
be opened nightly as the headquarters
of the Club.
