Among the various reports Of COM
mittees after dinner, WAS adopted
The following report on Resolutions:
Resolved by the Republicans Of Sa-
line county In convention assem-
bied,
First, That we reahirm our devo-
ton 10 the principles Of the Repub-
lican party, and pledge our united
efforts TO the support of the doctrine
thkf al men clothed with the rights
~ citizenship under the constitution
e eur county shall be protected In
the fun enjoyment Of those rights In
avery State Of the Union.
Second, That the fragrant methods
Of Intimidation, violence and fraud
prevalent in the south whereby the
privilege Of free ballot and a fair
count Is denied, and the results Of
unfair elections shamelessly appTO-
priated 10 the support OF the Demo
cratic party, deserve the cOndemna-
ton OF all good citizens.
Third, We welcome that frater-
nifty which is pledged to a loyal ae-
ceptance Of the results of the great
struggle for the preservation Of the
Union, and while we cherish no bit.
terness, we demand that the lessons
drawn from that conflict, and the
memory Of those who died for the
right shall be preserved. The tears
Of kindred which fall upon the
graves Of the heroic dead, north and
south, are sacred to all, but we de
mand the laurel for the grave Of hin
who wore the blue, and denouncC
the sentiment which puts a Judge
upon the supreme bench TO interpret
the law Of treason, the ink Of whose
pardon for the crime Of treason il
not yet dry.
Fourth, We favor such regulation
OF tariff duties as shall best prOmOt,
the welfare of our common country
and In determining methods for the
reductions Of surplus revenues, vi
favor the policy Of protection e
American industry supported by eX
perience, rs containing a bette
promise of safety, than the prescrip
ton Of Free Trade rendered by Presi
dent Cleveland and endorsed by
British statesmen.
Fifth, We honor the men 81 nj
parties who support the claims Of TIA
dependent Union soldiers.
We thank Senator Ingalls, anC
Plumb for timely words spoken il
rebuke Of the insults offered by Gro
yer Cleveland and his southern adj
mirers, aud we send a special greet
ing to our Senior Senator with TIA
assurance that II he will slay thu
Butternuts I'm his front, Saline coun
~ will help to guard the rear;
