RESOLUTIONS.
The Republicans of Cumberland
County in Convention assem- bled SUBJ
NIT the following:
1st. That we re.affirm our allegiance
to the principles laid down in the plat
form of the National Republican Con-
vention held at Chicago, in June. 1888.
2nd. That we endorse the nomina-
tiOn of Gen. Adward Burd Grubb, as
the Republican candidate for Governor
of the State of New Jersey. In him
we recognize the good citizen; the gal
liant soldier; candidate worthy of the
suffrage of the people, irrespective of
party. 1t is sufficient to say of him
that while his Democratic opponent,
Leon Albeit, was in the Legislature
voting the war failure, Gen. Grubb
was at the front fighting the battles of
his country, at fredericksburg, at
Charlottesville, at Petersburg
3rd. That we endorse the platform
adopted by the State Republican Con-
vention, which so ably presents the
issues now before the people of the
State.
4th. That we approve the action of
the Assemblymen from Cumberland
County in the late Legislature in vot-
ing against the repeal of the local op-
tion High License law placed upon the
books by Republican Legislature,
and denounce the action of P. P.
Baker, Senator from this county, who
by his vote brought about the repeal
of that act, thus deliberately stultify-
ing the record which he had made the
year previous; violated his promises to
the people when candidate for Sena-
tor, and shamefully betrayed the con-
stituency which had given 1900 majority
for Local Option in Cumberland Co.
9th. That we pledge our united sup
port to the candidates for County
Clerk, Senator and Corcners, this day
nominated.
