RESOLUTIONS
1. We. the Republicans of Sedgwick
county, congratulate onr fellow citizens
throughout the state upon the auspicious
outlook for their material and business
prosperity. We recognize the fact that
the dry weather and short crops OF 1890
cost the state a Republican United States
senator and five Republican members of
congress, but we rejoice in the further
fact that abundance and good times are
the best allies OF the Republican party.
and that while the wall Of the calamity
orator is still heard in the land, a smiling
Providence is again filing our barns with
plenty and our ranks with voters.
2. We recognize the fact that Wichita is
the chief commercial city of the state; that
the best interests of the county and Of the
city are inseparably connected, and
that everything injurious 10 the CONNER
cial credit, or which reflects upon the busi-
ness integrity of Kansas or its people. in
fiicts special injury upon the people OF
Wichita and OF Sedgsiek county. We
therefore denounce the sl2nderoUs mis-
statements regarding the financial condi-
ton of our people, spread broadcast BY the
leaders Of the peoples party, and we call
upon all houest men to repudiate such
statements as libel upoa the state, its
people and its resources We condemn the
spirit and doctrine OF reputation inculcA-
ted and propagated by these leaders; and
any QlInC0ltT Wnscn our people may now

representations OF these men
