adopted:
We, the Republican party of Denton
county II convention assembled, pledge
ourselves anew to the constitutional doc
trines and traditions of the national Re-
publican party. We heartily indorse the
administration of Benjamin Harrison
and congratulate the country on the
passage of the silver bill. We desire
consistent and reasonable revision of the
tariff, and are In favor of consideration
and legislation on the sub-treasury bill.
We view with apprehension the pending
election bill, and believe no good will re-
suit from its passage. We favor the
principles Of reciprocity as advocated by
James G. Blaine, believing that the
adoption of the same by congress will
inevitably bring on the greatest pros
perity ever enjoyed by this nation.
In state officers we favor the strictest
economy and lowest possible rate of tax
alton consistent with an efficient and en-
lightened administration. We believe it
A.
to control, protect and supervise rail-
roads and other corporate property, but
we believe the commission amendment
proposed unrepublioan and unnecessary
and productive of legislative evils, Great
ing useless offices and their parapher-
MALTA and entailing upon the body of the
people an unnecessary expense and an
unjust, arbitrary and tyrannical inter-
ference with private capital and enter
prise. We favor the states compiling
and designing the books to be used in her
public schools, copyrighting, printing
and binding them herself and furnishing
them to the scholastic population at
actual cost of publication. We
favor the reduction of the legal rate of
interest to per cent. with heavy PEN
alties for usury. We favor the working
of the public roads by poll and ad valorem
tax, but are opposed to the issue of
county bonds for said purpose. We favor
the working of all convicts within the
walls of the penitensisry and are opposed
TO the leasing or hiring out of convicts
on farms, railroads or otherwise. We
favor an amendment to the constitution
providing for the reorganization of the
judicial department. lSigned.l
