AND RESOLUTIONS.

IiA1TORA AND RESULT IONS.
The Republicans OF Urmsby County
represe nted by delegates il Convention
assembled, affirm their devotion to the
princi pies enUn ciated n the Platform
adopted by the Republican state Con
vention.
In addition to our Solicitude FOR the
prosperity OF the whole country, az al
fcctcd by the present unjust diScrimi-
nation against silver, We have a per-
sonal interest in the question SO far as
it HIS been used as an argument for
closing the Carson Mint:
We charge the Demo cratic leaders in
this State. under dfctatiCn Of Senator
Fair. with having conspired against the
Carson Mint, and with having caused
its doors to De closed against gold and
silver producers OF this state.
We condemn She action OF the Demo.
cratic officials fox de!ayirg orcra,ions
upon the proposed put,ic Government
building 10 be erected in this city, and
tor which the appropriations now lies
idle in the Natin al Treasury.
We favor abso ute exclusion OF TIE
Chinese from this county, now and
forever, and we call attention TO the
fact that the p-oposcd Exclusion Act
Introduce. by senator Mitchell, a Re
publican senator from oregon, was
passed by a Republican Senate, and
WAS subsequently rejected by II Demo
cratic House of Represen; atiyss. We
recogu!Zr that tho people OF tie entire
country, whenever they becom" ac-
Quaint with the merits of This que.-
ton, coincide with The Pacific Coast
view, but We wish distinctly To point on
that SO far as effective action on this
great subject is concerned, the Repu biz
can party has shown its earnes'ness i'll
he matter by attempting legislat O., for
the benefit of the people. This at
tempted Legislation has been defeated
by Democr tic House of Representa-
tives. Let the people judge between
he parties as they stand upon the rec
Or.
We cordially accord TO Senator Jones and
dation and approval for their constant attention
to the wants and requiem nts Of their constit
uae.s, and for their unrcmi;ting efforts on be-
half OF the g1est interests Of tie entire coun-
try.
With pleasure We end NE nominees
named BY the Republican Convention and
ere9ics success in November Tor the entire
ticket.
Economical management Of locol affairs
in officers should be c,reful in gusrdins expen-
di;ures. from the county funds. To this policy
Ike Republicans OF crnsby County stand
pledged
Rcsolrcd That the Legislative nominees OF
this Convention are pledged to 0rmsby County
men and measures ia all matters touching

Ed. SPIRIT: SiEce my last writing Eve
met with several Monroe cotinty men in
Belmont county who are gaining con
siderable celebrity In the education Of
the people of this county, both in an ed

whom is the Rev j R Hissom. of Sar.
die, and Prot. Jacob Tschappat, former

A few days ago met the Hon. A C..
Ramape who was member Of the Leg
islature when the new county OF Noble
was formed, and of the State Board OF
Equalization at the time j. r Morris
was. He related to me whv the jog, or
stair steps, as our school boys term it,
was formed 10 the Western boundary OF
Monroe. John A. Davenport went to
Columbus to save as much of Monroe
as possible from being struck of into
the new county. Ramage champioued
his cause, and even after the bill had
been formed succeeded In saving that
part Of the county where the Jog is made
at Stafford from forming part of No

been the case your humble servant would
have been citizen for the most OF his

his time in writing speeches for his fell
