suggested one Oi the delegates.
Il know 10 has not been customary,
answered the chairman. "But where

tions is left until the last, very often
there are many delegates who do not
remain 20 near It. Therefore We wdl
now hear tae report
Speaker J. j Reed Johnson re-
marked one OF the delegates.

Nm. Alden Smith then made the re-
port OF the committee on resolutions,
which was as follows:
The Republicans OF Kent county, in
convention assembled for the purpose
OF nominating candidates Tor the yari-
Gus county Offices and delegates TO the
State and Congressional conventions 10
be held hereafter, do hereby express
their approval of the official acts OF the
officers chosen by the last Republican
convention, who received the endorse
ment OF a majority of the voters OF the
county for the various positions OF
honor and trust Teposed ln them; and
congratulate the people that the adj
mmstratIon of county. State and M
tlOral affairs has been in harmony with
the best sentiment of the intelligent
citizens whose sutfrages resulted In
their selection at the last general elec-
ton. The cohorts OF Democracy and
free trade were overwhelmingly de-
feated, and the policy of protection
which has for the past quarter OF cen
tury done so much 10 build up and de-
vciOp the great territory occupied by
the United states has been enthroned.
The Republican party. always true to
its conviction founded upon the princi-
pies enunciated IN the constitution of
the land, has undertaken TO so legIslate
for the Nation that the best possible re-
suits that could be attained by IN in
teilgent direction of our economic af-
fairs should be realized. 1t has re-
deemed the pledges made TO the people
IN the last general election, by admit
ting tho territories to statehood, by re-
lief of the soldier through the disability
pension bill, and by the passage of the
silver bill, VIII stimulate the arteries of
trade TO n higher and better degree of
prosperity.
We congratulate the National House
of Representatives upon the fact that
they are presided over by man VINO
can detect q Democratic member with
in the bar of the House nOtwithstand-
ing he protestations that he is not pres
ent, and that Speaker Reed has the
courage 10 count such member present
m the interest of the speedy conduct
of the public business and the passage
OF the Mckinley bill, j. matter of con-
graduation, and we hope with the re-
clproclty suggestions contained IN the
utterances OF that far-sighted states
man, James O.. Biaine2 thatit may soon
find Us way upon the statute books.
We congratulate the House Of Repre-
sentatIves upon the passage Of the
Lodge Federal Election bill, and believe
it 20 be IN cOusOnance with the general
sentiment OF the Republican party
everywhere and IN harmony with the
constitutional safeguards thrown
around the exercise OF the right Of suf-
frage. For many years proof of the
most substantial nature Of the outrage
Ous manner in which the elections are
conducted m the Southern States hs.
