republican government, pledges cordial and
earnest support to the principles euunciated
and being carried out by President Harrison
and that we recommend that It be the sense
of this convention to maintain at all times an
answering devotion to the republican party.
| and an indissoluble fealty to the rights and
interests of the h0mesteaders Of this county,
who have by hardships: industry and noble
| endeavor, done so much for the interests of
this county. That we declare the gratitude of
the nation to the defenders Of the Union, can
not be measured by laws, and favors liberal
both expressed and implied, to the soldier
when he enlisted: to the end that no Union
soldier should want for bread; and denounces
the democratic vetOes which sent many
Union soldiers to the aims house.
That the convention expresses a cordial
sympathy with all wise and well-drected eff
forts for the promotion of temperance and
morality.
Approving without reserve. this clear ex.
preston OF republican faith. We heartily en-
dorse the administration at Washington. and
pledge to the county ticket our undivided
support. and express our confident belief that
it will be continued.
We approve and commend our state admin.
istratiOn as wise, prudent, economical and
just. All the officers have been faithful to
their trusts. and are deserving of high COM
mendatiOn.
We believe in the protection of the home
from the saloon. We demand the complete ex-
ecutiOn of the prOhibitOry laws in this coun-
ty. idcluding the vigorous prosecution of
officers who fail to perform their duties under
the law. as we'll as the prosecution of the
viOlators of the law. The republican party of
Thomas county is convinced that prohibition
Is right and is success: and we assert that
those who seek refuge in the prohibition
party, blindly seek revolution in our gov
eminent for that which revolution cannot
give.
That we renew our expression Of confidence
lCh Sryt, ast FD.S <y,., v~l.,, = NJ,
in as much rs his noble actions in the senate
of the United States, have placed him among
the foremost advocates of republican princi.
pies, and loyal American in the nation.
That we express our highest confidence in
Senator Preston b. Plumb. As Il statesman
he is unsurpassed by any other senator of
the United States, as one who is familiar with
all the complicated machinery of the govern
ment, he is unexcelled. As wise, prudent
and patriotic legislator for all the interests Of
the people. he has no superior. He Is invalu-
believe his course i'm public questions meets
with the unanimous approval of the republi-
cans of the state.
Demanding of the nominees of this conven-
ton an honest. economical administration of
the officers of Thomas county and promising
them the undivided support of the party at
the polls, we submit all to the wise arbitra-
ment OF the ballots in November next.
