/. RESOLVED, that we reatfirm the
principles laid down in the National
Republican platform, believing that
the interests of the country will be bet
ter served by the continuance of the
American system of protection.
2. RESOLVED, That we condemn the
attempt of the Democrats in Congress
under the lead OF President Cleveland,
because of the vital Importance of such
action to every State and community,
to force practical free trade upon the
country in the passage of the Mills bill
and thus degrade the industries of the
country to the low level TO which they
have been reduced in Great Britain
with their demolalizing blight upon
honest labor.
3. RESOLVED, that we heartily and
enthusiastically endorse our National
standard bearers, Harrison and Morton
and pledge to them, rs well as to our
candidates for Congress, Hon. Christie
pher A. Bergen, and to our popular
candidate for the Assembly, John c.
Ward, a loyalty and unfaltering devo-
ton that will make Salem comfy and
the lst Congressional District decidedly
Republican. aud thus help to place
New Jerseys electoral vote in the Re-
publican column along with every
northern State.
A. RESOLVED, that AS our govern
