THE RESOLUTIONS.
Judge Carson, of the committee on reFo.a-
tions. reported the following. which were
adopted:
Whereas. The Republican party of Dakota
in convention assembled, takes this oppor-
| tunitv of renewing to the principles OF 5ae
national Republican party. We are proud OF
its history and its achievements, and beHeYe
the day not far distant when it Will De re-
turned to power We hail the advent OF an
! other presidential campaign, confidently De-
| lievirg that the discussions to be had thls
year VIII inform the people OF the treatment q
this territory has received at the HANDS OF
! the Democracy and hasten the recognition OF
our political rights
Resolved That the most vital questions TO
the people of Dakota at this time are those
/ of boundaries and statehood; ana we arralgn
The Democratic party for the poiltlca! CRIME
/ of denying TO 600, 600 Americans, rlca IN all
the elements of enlightened civilization, The
| most cherished right of citizenship ana Tor
the equally grave offense of attemrting to
dictate the prom otion of 10000 square
| miles of territory against often repeated and
/ earnest requests for division OF the same,
/ ratified by majority vote OF the people;
that, having experienced the evils of an over
| sized territory in the increased cost OF adj
mlnistration and tendency to ring rule by
reason of the inability of the people TO
participate in representative assemblies, we
denounce and will continue TO resist all
attempts to make these evils the perpetual
| heritage OF posterlty. AS our only adequate
protection we demand the division OF Da-
kota, east and west, on the line Of the sew
! enth standard parallel, and the immediate
admission OF the Two parts into the Union
as the States of South Dakota and North Da-
kota as right by virtue OF the wealth, pop
| uiatlon and resources of each. We heartily
endorse the action of the Republican SEN
| ators in congress in the passage of the bill
| for division and statehood, and we assure
| our friends in the house of representatives
| that their efforts in our 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 pretense of reform
are iutrinsically political and sectional in
their nature. We believe that reasonable
| protective tariff is for the best interests Of
The country and of the people. and such
tariff should protect American labor and
that protection to the agricultural interests
and la Dor deserves consideration in an equal
Qegree with protection to manufacturing
interests; that as far consistent with pro-
lection to American labor and American in
duStrleS tariff should be confined to the
luxuries OF life as against the necessaries:
that revision of the tariff should be in the
hands OF It's friends and not in
the hands OF its enemies Grateful to the
patriotism of the nation which enabled the
no tJvt hi itcrr
we ackn oWledge that there yet remains
much noble work Of citizenship to be ac-
comphshed. There are relics of barbarism
only partially eradicated still contesting
their right OF supremacy, and among them
are polygamy and intemperance
Resolved. That we oenounce the doctrine
OF civil service reform as practiced by the
present administration in this territory as a
fraud, deluSion and d snare. and view with
disgust the action OF an executive with pow
ers as unlimited despo6 in debating and
controlling the action OF caucuses and con-
VentiOns
