RESOLUTIONS.
The republican party of Alturas coun-
ty, assembled in convention, declares:
That we renew our faith and allegiance
to the great national republican party,
and the .principles which have made it
the greatest and most worthy alliance of
citizens the world has ever seen.
That by Its fostering care of the indus
tries Of the people Of the whole country,
it has proven itself, as its aim has always
been, to be the party of the people, and
their staunch friend; that the people of
Idaho have reason to be, and are, particu
larly grateful to the national republican
party for the protection it has given
them in the products of the mines, and
the consequent stimulation of every bust
ness and enterprise throughout the state,
in the face Of the strenuous and organ
lied opposition of the democratic party
That we pledge our hearty support to
these principles in the future, and will
use our best efforts at all times to main
tain and perpetuate them by our ballots
for the election of the men whom it may
select to ELL the various offices of the state
and country, and by every honorable
means in our power.
We again declare our unalterable de-
termination that Idaho shall be forever
free from the evils of Mormonism in pol
itics and ont of it, and demand the rigid
enforcement of the laws enacted for its
suppression.
We demand an equitable adjustment
Of our county debt, which will insure to
the creditors Of the county the full pay
ment thereof as speedily as careful man
agement and the economical administra
ton of public affairs will admit.
That we desire to show to Hon. Fred
T. Dubois and Governor Geo. L. Shoup
our appreciation of their devotion to the
interests of our people and state, and ten
der to them the most sincere expressions
of hearty appreciation, esteem and conf
dence.
We congratulate the people that Idaho
has entered upon an era of prosperity
such as we have never seen before, and
ask them, regardless of party affiliations,
to unite with the republican party in its
efforts for the advancement of the natural
interests of the state.
To republicans throughout the state we
extend the hand of brotherhood and urge
upon them to maintain the prestige with
which we enter the first campaign as a
Of the great union of the states,
and by their united strength to secure
the full fruits of the magnificent victory
which awaits US. Alturas, though some
what disigured, is still in the ring, and
what ia left of her may be counted on to
60 republican by the usual majority.
Several men were then nominated
for marshal, or sergeant-at-arms,
and after considerable debate, Maj.
Pinkham nominated constable Mar
ATT. The convention finally con-
Guided that it was scarcely proper
20 put republican convention un-
Ter the charge of a democratic
marshal, and Judge Hodson was
and held the peace during
he remainder of the day.
Nominations for sheriff being then
n order, Mr.. w. C. Tatro appeared
before the convention and briefly
stated that he had dropped on the
and would not be
candidate for that Office, where
upon, Mr.. James Mcpherson was
chosen by reclamation, paid his IS
md returned thanks. An effort was
hen made to adjourn until to-mor-
ow, but refused, and the delegates
<ept steadily at work according to
he programme. The Office of clerk

luditor and recorder being called,
