We, the Republicans Of Morrison
County in convention assembled, loving
and revering the grand old Republican
party not only because 1t has fought for
and preserved the rich legacy OF the I'M
ion, but as we'll, because, through its
plnck and energy, was wiped out, in the
abolition Of slavery, the only blot upon
our nations fair escuscheon, and because
Of that purity of principles and that wis
dom Of craftsmanship displayed in the
administration af government, which
has given our nation unexampled pros
perity, and reduced the national debt ct
R rate never before equal|ed in the histo-
ry Of the world, d 0 hereby
RESOLVE, That we cordially endorse
the platform adopted by the Republican
party in national convention assembled,
and rejoice in its wisdom in placing at
tho head Of its ticket Names honored
son, not only the peer but the wlaest of
American sta'esmen--the plumed Knight
James 9. Blaine, and because of its
select for the second place upon it's
ticket, Of the man whose true heart snd
strong arm, whose ringing voice and
steady brain was ever ready at his na-
toms call, whether it took him upon the
battle field or in the council room~-the
soldisr's hero and IIlinois'ipride--J ohm
A. Logan. ..p,.E -.
RESOLVED, That we have viewed with
delight the energy and ability displayed
in the discharge Of his official duties by
our'r representative in congress, the Hon,
knute Nelson, and that ws realize that
in his denomination, honor was done not
so mnch to the man as to the ticket and
to the party. His record is his RECON-
mendation and we most cordially endorse
his nomination.. f.
RESOLVED, That we realize that in
making the Republican legislative ticket
for the soth senatorial district, good men
and true a:en Of integrity and ability,
men who having pledged themselves to
any particular line Of action will fulfill
the'r pledge, have been selected But we
realize too that these are no ordinary
times--that Minnesota's fair escutcheon
is darkened--that within her borders
have been allowed to grow up and flour
ish, gigantic monopolies-raonopolies
which have grown rich in corruption,
monopolies which have ground down
the common people, and especially the
farmer, dsnied him the. the just return
earned by the sweat Of his brow u.onop-
olies which have injured his credit,
mortgaged Ills farm, and made desolate
his home; and he has no redress We
demand of our legislative candidates
that they shall pledge themselves to right
these wrongs, that they shall dedicate
their legislative lives to the securing Of
such legislation which shall crush out
these vile monopolies, Legislation which
shall guarantee - every person who has
AGAR load Of freight to Ship car in
which to ship ito every person who
desires to build, without regard to capac-
ity, . warehouse or an elevator upon a
side track, asite upon which to buildit;
legislation as shall guarantee to all
shippers the same rates and facilities,
and q favors 70 none; legislation which
shall prohibit Railroad discrimination
not only as between individuals but also
between localities tort such legisla-
ton as shall establish 4 free and open
market where any man may II and any
man may unl buy and ship. And be it fur
