THE RESOLUTIONS.
J. r. Babcock, chairman of the commit
tee on resolutions, read the resolutions, an
nouncing that they had been adopted by
the committee against the protest of the
minority. After pledging support to the
Chicago platform and nominees, the plat
form proceeds:
We believe in that system of protection
which has built up and diversified our in
dustries, which has rewarded labor with
wages and conditions unequalled elsewhere,
and which has made our market the
envy of all the world; and we ar
raign and censure President Cleveland and
the democratic party for their disoyal at
tacks upon American industries and AmeIi-
can labor, especially for their direct and
merciless blows aimed at the great indus
tries of Michigan.
REDUCTION OF THE SURPLUS.
We believe in reduction Of the increas-
ing surplus and national revenues to gov
ernmental requirements by an American
protective and republican system, and not
by an English free trade and democratic
system.
We cordially indorse the progressive
temperance legislation enacted by the last
legislature, and regret that its full fruits
were not realized owing to technical defects
in the laws held by the supreme court TO be
in conflict with the constitution.
We condemn the democratic members of
congress from this state for their willing
submission to the dctation of southern
democratic members, and for their un-
reasonable and disloyal action upon tho bill
refunding direct taxes, passed. by the SEN
ate which legally and justly would have
turned into the state treasury nearly
SoOO,OOO
THIS IS HUMOROUS.
We also arraign the democratic par
ty for its criminal insincerity in in
dorsing the Mills bill and nominating
candidates who have declared their opposi-
ton thereto: its barter and sale Of the prin-
ciples and the name Of the democracy TO
meaningless fusion for the sake OF votes.
DIVIDED ON THE TEMPERANCE PLANK.
Mr. Miller Of Saginaw ktated that the
committee had been unanimous on the re-
port. except on the plank relating to tenn
perance.
Charles j. Osborne Of Marquette said he
had refrained from signing the report be-
cause he disapproved the resolution.
MIR. Babcock OF Detroit said the republi-
can party could not afford TO take back
ward step.
Mr. Irish of Kalamazoo, though in favor
of strong temperance measures, did not
think 1t wise to adopt legislation on a sub
ject on which the best lawyers were divided
Ex-Congressman Hubbell asked for a re-
cess| 10 more fully consider the matter.
Tho motion for a recess was voted down
and tho platform adopted with majority,
apparently, of four TO one.
The convention then adjourned sine die
with three cheers for the tickot.
