the same spirit, as quite number of new

Committee met pursuant to adjourn

On motion it was ordered that the
county committees be and the same
are hereby requested to call commit.
tees in the several counties of the
Territory to meet at least twenty days
before the first Wednesday in May
next, to elect delegates to said Terri
torial convention.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That the Republican
party Of Idaho protest against the
threatened removal of the imperative
duty on lead. Tha. we condemn the
policy Of the present administration
as set forth in the last message of the
President to Congress favoring, as it
does, direct competition between
our citizens and the i'll paid, Ill-fed
and degraded labor of foreign coun-
tries. We believe if that policy shall
be adopted its consequences will be
disastrous to very many of the mining
enterprises in this Territory which are
now profitable and tlourishing, and in
u great measure cut of our revenues
and hinder the development and check
the growing prosperity Of our Terri
tory. We believe it to be the true
policy of the government to foster and
protect all industries throughout the
whole country, and in particular those
in which the welfare of the great un-
developed West is involved. Lead is
one OF the chief products of our Terri
tory, and we view the proposal to re-
move the tariff upon its importation a
