The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-08-01

we would strenuously adhere to that
uniform practice of the republican
party, when i'm power, to 80 modify that
the interests of protection TO Ameri-
can industries shall be subseryed and
not the interests of British freetrade.
ResoiUcd-That we observe with Pc
culiar satisfaction i'm the national plat
form of the republican party the recog-
milton of unfading obligation to the
men who, in the hour of our country's
peril, when unity and liberty were at
stake, when they who now seek to con
troll the nation were struggling TO de-
stroy it, came freely forward and per-
lied their health and their lives that
the nation might live. We hold that to
these men, who so bravely battled for
the government against armed seces-
sion, the nation owes "A debt of unend-
ing gratitude; to those who survived and
to the widows and orphans, a bounti-
full recompense, ungrudgingly paid;
and to the memory of those who died,
the tribute of nations grief, and we
condemn that spirit of ingratitude and,
above all, that disregard of what is
seemly in one in high position that was
manifested by the president of the
United States in devoting to recreation
the day that has been consecrated by
national decree rs a day of respect to
the memory of the heroes who SO nobly
persisted in defense of their country.
Res0iUed-That we commend the judg-
ment and fidelity of the convention in
the selection of candidates for the Off
ces of president and vice-president of
the United States, and that we recog-
nize i'm the gentlemen whose names are
presented for ratification by the people
i'm November, candidates worthy of the
high Offices they are destined 70 fill. In
General Harrison, we recognize
the name of one of the staunch and
noble fathers of the republic name
affixed to the immortal Declaration OF
Independence. We recognize in HIM a
worthy grandson of that earlier Harri.
son, of that noble old warrior, states
man and farmer, ever victorious, alike
i'm war or in peace, the hero of Tippe-
canoe. When Charles the l. assembled
the throne of England, almost the first
victim of his malevolence was Gen
Harrison, one of the leaders of the
Cromwellian army, and thus, in the
great struggle for human rights and
constitutional government, in England
and in America, the ancestors of the
republican candidate have been promi
inent actors ever on the side of liberty
And when, i'm the dark days of 1861
President Cleveland, though strong in
health, young in years and without ties
of family or business relations to re
strain him, sought for substitute to
represent him at the post of duty in his
country's service, Gen. Harrison, true
to the loyal instincts of his race, him
self took his sword and sped to the
front to do soldiers duty until the
enemies of his government were sub
dued and vanquished. And so, again
at the head of the great republican
phalanx, he marches now TO assured
though peaceable, victory.
ResOtUed-That, distressing the loyal
ty of the democratic party, and regard
ing with apprehension its theory OF
national impOsts as set forth in the
platform of the convention held at st
Louis, and the policy of its Legislation
as outlined by the president in his mes
sage and by the democratic majority il
congress, and to the end that we may
crush out this nOn-patriotic policy o.
the democratic party and restore anC
perpetuate that system and policy tina
has proved so beneficent to the country
we most cordially invite the co-opera
ton and utilization Of all citizens; be
lieving that the highest recompens,
for political endeavor will be found il
the success of republican principles.
