| The committee on resolutions submit
ted the following:
Resolred, That the Republicans of Los
Angeles county, in convention assem-
bled, reaffirm the principles enunciated
| ka >1ot nf tho o60nto1 hx,
the state and national Republican con-
ventions of 1888, and renew their alle-
glance to that great political party which
has produced Lincoln and Grant and
their illustrious associates and success
sors, and under successive administra-
tions of which the country has enjoyed
unexampied prosperity for period of
thirty years, a prosperity which single
Democratic administration under the
check of Republican senate was unable
to seriously retard.
Resolved, That the administration of
President Harrison has met the just ex-
pectations of the country, has been
marked by prudence, wisdom, states
manship, and conscientious regard for
| the interests of the whole people.
| Resolved, That in eliminating from the
rules of the house of representatives the
absurd legal fictions which have for
more than three-quarters of century
clung like barnacles to them, enabling
the minority to defeat the majority, to
retard public business and seriously de-
lay and cripple the operations Of the
government, the Republican members
of the present congress, and especially
the clear-headed, intrepid and patriotic
speaker, the Hon. Thomas B. Reed, have
rendered a distinguished service for
which they are entitled to the thanks
and confidence of the whole country.
Resolued, That the sincere and we'll
considered efforts of Republican con-
gress to adjust the tariff on imports to
the present and future condition of the
country, and in consonance with the
great American principle of protection,
and to enact a law which shall restore
silver to its rightful place as one of the
money metals of the countrv-both
measures of great Importance to the
Pacific coast states-are evidence OF the
statesman-like breadth of view of the
congressional leaders of the Republican
party, and renew their title to the con-
tidence of the country.
Resolved. That the long and honorable
career of the senior senator of this state,
Hon. Leland Stanford, as governor, pub
licist, and as the moving spirit in vast
enterprises that have resulted in popu-
lating and enriching the Pacific coast,
and as one who has endowed state in
stitution of learning in 80 princely a
way that it will ever remain monu-
ment to his foresight, public spirit and
philanthropy, command the respect and
promote the pride Of the people of Cali
fornia.
Resolved, That the Hon. William Van
dever has been faithful representative
OF this district, that he has uniformly
labored to foster its industries and pro-
tect its diversified interests, and that
his distinguished services and his high
character entitle him to the esteem of
his constituents.
Resolved, That while the Republicans
of Los Angeles county with pleasure and
commendable pride assert that there are
in the party in other portions of the
state many gentlemen of great and
recognized ability and prominence who
would be available candidates and eff
cient as chief magistrates; nevertheless,
as the banner county, having given Gen
eral Harrison nearly four thousand ma
jority, as county from which no Re-
publican nominee for governor has ever
been elected, they now ask of their
brethren in the state the honor of hold
ing the right of the line in the forth
coming battle, and of fighting under
gallant leader chosen from their own
files.
Resolued, That in presenting Hon.
Henry H. Markham for the Republican
nominee for governor, we name a
gentleman who is the peer of any other
in the state; as citizen, irreproachable
in his personal, social, domestic and
business relations; as statesman,
man of broad views and of public affairs;
as soldier, one who bears upon his per-
son the honorable scars which attest the
heroism and courage with which he de-
Tended on the battlefield the national
flag, life and honor.
Resolved, That this convention, COM
posed of the neighbors, friends and ac-
quaintances of our candidate, among
whom he has gone out and come in for
the past thirteen years, who have entire
confidence in the integrity of his life and
the purity of his character and an affec-
tionate regard for his person, instruct
the sixty-three delegates from this
county to do what each and every one of
them would gladly do without instruc-
tions, vote for and use all honorable
efforts to secure in the interest of no
coofior hut in fbot nf tho opt;ro ID
