The report of the committee on resolu-
lions was called and chairman Of the COM
mittee, c. H. Bentley, read the report
which was as follows:
The Republican party of Sedgwick
county, i'll delegate convention assembled,
congratulates the people on the success OF
American principles and the campaign OF
1888 which eliminated in the election OF
BENJAMIN Harrison as president, and Lew
p Morton as vice-president OF the United
States, and the retaining Of the lower
house of congress from the control OF free
trade Democracy, and hence from foreign
influence.
We indorse the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison and on behalf of the PEN
soners of the country, thank Commission
er Tanner for his liberal policy in their be-
half; and believing the time has arrived
we advocate the passage by congress and
the approval thereof by the president, of a
service pension law for all honorably dis
charged union soldiers.
We indorse the administration of Gov
ernor Humphrey and congratulate him
upon his management of state affairs.
We are uualterably opposed to trusts
combinations, pools and all arrangements
that have tendencies to increase the price
of any article to the consumer, and de-
mand the earnest enforcement of the anti
trust law passed by the last session OF the
legislature.
We charge the Democratic party oil
Sedgwick county with total insIncerlty
upon the question of resubmission OF pro-
hibition and to that end point to thell
recent resolutions adopted by their county
convention in which they only pledge the
people to force the fighting upon this ques
ton during the present year.
We believe that there is growing dis
position on the part OF the people of this
county and of the state OF Kansas, for an
other vote on the constitutional prohib-
itory amendment, and the Republican
party being part of the people, by the
people and for the people, we therefore de-
clare that we are in favor of resubmitting
this question to the people of Kansas fol-
their determination,
We point with pride to the honest ad
ministration of the affairs of the people in
this county in the past by Republican Of
fice-holders and pledge and guarantee the
people a continuation OF the faithful and
earnest performance Of their duties by ouI
officers.
We believe, that all men are free and
evual, that all are entitled to the benefit.
of the free institutions of this country
withous any distinction of race or color.
We pledge to the ticket this day nomi,
mated the earnest, energetic and undivided
support of the Republican party of Sedg-
WICK county,
The clause referring to the campaigne oil
1855 was freely applauded as was also ref.
erence to Tanner The prohibitory amend
ment was loudly cheered. The resubmis
sion clause was cheered to the echo.
| On being read Mr.. Bentley moved the

Recognizing the fact that our state con.
stitution was framed and adopted at
time when our population was muct
smaller than now, and that the condition
