The first formal ballot was & walk
away for Jolley, and after the first few
counties had voted all jumped for the
band wagon. When Marshal county
was reached it was seen that JolIey's
nomination was assured, and motion
to make it unanimous went through.
COL John l.. Jolley is at present state
senator from the Clay county district.
The following resolutions were then
adopted without contest:
We. the representatives of the Republican
party Of South Dakota, III delegate conven-
ton assembled, heartily approve of the
splendid administration of President Harri-
son, and especially do we commend the pol
icy OF reciprocity as developed by our dis
tinguished fellow citizen, James G. Blaine
We congratulate the Republican congress
upon its wisdom in enacting the Mckinley
protective tariff bill, whose fruits are already
manifest, and whose beneficial effects are
destined to materially benefit all our labor
ing classes, agricultural, manufacturing and
mining industries.
We approve of the octon of congress in
the development of an effective system Of
irrigation in this state and throughout all
portions OF the West, where such artificial
aid TO agriculture is necessary, and ask for
additional appropriations by congress to
still further develop the great artesian basin
of the Northwest. We favor such legislation
as will prevent all illegal combinations and
all unjust eXactl0ns by aggregatOns of cap
ital and corporate powers As our govern
ment has invited all nations to participate
with us III 1893 in review of the wonderful
progress of American development, we com
mend the effort now being made by our
worlds fair committee to secure by private
subscription funds necessary to make q suit
able exhibit for south Dakota.
We heartily endorse the action of the late
Republican congress in passing silver bill,
by which S50,0000O0 of currency is yearly
added to the amount In circulation and ia
vor such further increase in the coinage of
silver as is consistent with such financial
policy, and we favor complete reconciliation
of silver.
We heartily indorse the pension legislation
of the last Republican congress and favor
such further legislation as will grant to every
honorably dircharged soldier full service
pension.
Resolved. That we indorse the interstate
commerce law, and favor such further regu-
lation OF all railway and transportation lines
and telegraph and express companies as will
give reasonable and equitable rates to the
general public.
Whereas 1t has pleased divine providence
to remove from among us Hon. John r.
Gamble
Resolved, That we recognize in him an up
right citizen, an able statesman, a brilliant
lawyer and true man. Young in years he
was ripe in experience. In his untimely
death the state loses one of its safest and
wisest counselors and the nation true and
patriotic son.
