denounCe and will continue to resist All
attempts to make these evils the perpetnd
heritage of posCerIty. As our only adeUaate
protection we demand the division al na.

admission Of the two parts into the Unioh
as the States of South Dakota and North "a.
kota as a right by virtue of the wealth, pop.

endorse the action of the Republican, sen.
ators in congress in the passage OF the bin
for division and statehood, and we ASSURE
our friends in the house of Representatives
that their efforts in III behalf are warmly
appreciated.
Resolved, That while tariff revision Is from
year to year necessary there is no relief given
in the Democratic measures now before con-
gress, which under the pretenBe OF reforEn
are intIinsically political and sectioaaI ID
their nature. We believe that reasonable
protective tariff is for the best Interests oil
the country n Of the people, and such
tariff should protect American labor and
American industries. yet in their infancy;
that protection to the agricultural Interests
and labor deserves consideration in az equal
dGgree with protection to manufacturing
interests; that as far as consistent with pro-
lection to American labor and American In
du5trIes tariff should be confined 10 the
of life as against the necessaries.

hands of its friends and not in
the hands Of its enemies. Gratefulto the
of the nation which enabled the
party toachievaits great objects.
we acknowledge that there yet remains
much noble work OF citizenship to be ac-
complished. There are relics OF barbarissn
only partially e~radicated, still contesting
their right of supremacy, and among them
are polygamy and intemperance.
Resolved, That we denounce the doctrine
of civil service reform as practtced by the
present administration in this territory as a
fraud, a delusion and a snare, and view with
the action of an executive with pow-
ers as unlimited as a dcspot in debating and
controlling the action or caucuses and con-
yentions
