ciples of the Republican party, and in
dorse the wise and conservative policy
Of President Harrison.
Resolved, that we fully indorse the
| action of congress in the passage OF
| necessary legislation demanded by the
people for the past twelve years ana
denied to them by the Democratic party
| while in control of the lower house or
congress-.
Resolved, that we deuounce the action
of the Democratic representatives In
congress who, while present, persistently
refused to vote. and when counted by
the speaker, claimed to be absent. for
the sole purpose of delaying, and at
tempting to defeat wise and necessary
legislation.
Resolved, that we favor the maintain
ance of q protective tariff.
Resolved, that we dsnOunce the course
of the Democratic representatives and
senators in congress in voting against the
silver bill, which gives the people of the
United States an increase of its clrcuia-
ting medium of many millions of dollars
annually, aud places silver on an equal
footing with gold.
Resolved, that the national Republican
party stands now and ever pledged to
the doctrine that all elections, North and
South, East and West, shall be fairy
conducted, each vote deposited freely
and honestly counted as deposited. Stilis
we affirm that so far as Texas Is con-
cerned that Its elections, both state ana
national, are conducted with entire falr-
ness and perfect freedom, and we there
fore condemn the Lodge election bill as
unwise, impolitie and wholly unneees-
sary.
Resolved, that we view with alarm
the plank IN the Democratic platform
recently adopted at San Antonio,
whereby the legislative, judicial aud
executive functions of government are
ATTEMPTED 10 be united to throttle pub
lie improvements aud retard the growth
aud development of the material inter-
ests of our great commonwealth. we
believe that capital and labor are twin
sisters walking hand in hand toward
higher and more perfect civilization
and that the proposed amendment TO the
constitution ia un-Democratic, anti-Re-
publican, dangerous and deadly in its
tendencies and should meet with merited
condemnation at the polls.
