organization was adopted and Hon.
John Kelley and N. S. Rochelle were called
on to conduct the permanent officer to the
chair. Mr. Morris acknowledged the COM
pliment in very handsome speech. lie
said he was comparatively stranger in the
country, but being a stranger he had no AK
to grind and he assured the convention that
he was not chosen in the interest of any par
ticular candidate. He referred in the most
complimentary terms to the record of the
Republican party in the county, state and
nation and expressed a firm belief that the
candidates named by this convention would
be elected to fill the offices for which they
were nominated. He connseled harmony
and unity of action and hoped that those
who sought nominations here to-day, and
were not fortunate enough to get there,
would work in the interest of the ticket

brought forward splendid likeness Of Cen

chairmsn's desk amid trmenduous cheering.

Your committee on resolutions beg leave
to submit the following report on resolu-
lions:
Resolved, That the Republicans of Sedg-
wick county in convention assembled refer
with just pride to the past history of the
Republican party in its administration OF
national, state and our county affairs, and
while suffering defeat at the last national
election on account of the unequal distribu-
ton ofthe political rights of the people
brough, about by the Acknowledgement of
the citizens of several states by fraud and
intimidation, yet We are still confident that
the Republican party, advocating now, as 1t
has in the past, the purity of the ballot ard
the right of every citizen TO the full enjoy
ment of the elective franchise, will again in
1888 assume the control OF the national az
fairs.
Resolved, That We in common with the
citizens of the nation recognize in the death
of General l.. 5. Grant. the loss Of an emf
nent Statesman, pure citizen and great
general whose memory will ever be cherish
ed with profound reverence by the Ameri-
can people.
Resolved. That We pledge ourselves anew
to the time-honored principles of the Re-
publican party.
