The national platform is endorsed and

ment assistance for the Nicaragua canal

party is ''pointed to with pride;" the
election Of United States senators by
the people is recommended, and a de-

lowing closes the document:
Whereas, 1t has come to our knowl-
edge that in recent primary elections in
the city of Los Angeles and elsewhere
in the county certain parties have re-
sorted to unfair and dishonest methods
in the attempt to overslaugh the will OF
the majority; and,
Whereas, One of the cardinal princi-
lples of the Republican party is free
ballot and fair count; and,
Whereas, The resort to such dishon-
est practices is an infringement of the
rights of individuals, tends to the de-
'moralization of the party councils and
to cast reproach upon the entire organ
ization; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That this convention here
by repudiates any resort to anv such
unfair methods, and pledge protection
to every member of the party in a proper
expression of his wish at primary elec.
tions and at all elections.
Resolved, That we instruct the county
central committee that future primary
elections be called under the Porter
law, to the end that any who attempt
to abuse and pervert the party or
ganization may be punished as they de-
serve.
DON'T WANT FRAUD EXPOSED.
Colonel Nudge wanted all portions of
the resolutions referring to any frauds
that had been committed at the prlma-
ries stricken out. He did not know of
any irregularities that had been COM
mitted, and he did not think it proper
that the convention should take any
cognizance of the rumors that were
afoat.
Mr.. Thorn, chairman of the committee
on credentials, said that plenty of evil
dences of fraud had been shown to the
committee.
Mr.. Spalding said that it was an open
fact that frauds had been committed at
the last primaries. and it was about
time for the Republican party to put the
stamp of disapproval upon this work,
and clear its skirts of crooked prima-
ries.
Colonel Nudge said that he wanted
the declaration of the resolutions that
fraud had been committed at the last
primaries eliminated. This was all.
JUDGE CHENEY SPEAKS PLAINLY.
Judge Cheney opposed the amendment
OF Colonel Nudge to amend the report
of the committee on resolutions. Colonel
Nudge withdrew his amendment.
PROF. MEMORIES TOUCHING TALK.
Prof. Neimore, colored, of the Seventh
Ward, presented set of resolutions as
printed in the HERALD yesterday on be-
halt of the eolored Republicans, who
thought that they were entitled to rep
-resentation on the county ticket. The
professor spoke feelingly atsome length
in support of his resolutions. But he
was sat upon. He claimed that the
negro had helped the Republican party
and had got the worst of it here in Los
Angeles county. The professors re-
marks were both applauded and hissed.
After he took his seat he WAS given to
understand that supplementary re-
port of the committee on resolutions
would be made as to the colored race.
The committee then retired, and later
reported the following resolutions:
Whereas, The colOred citizens OF Los
Angeles county are faithful supporters
ofsthe Republican party and it's princi.
pies;
Resolved, That they are entitled to
share in the prosperity of the party in
the distribution of clerkships and
offices.
RECEIVED BUT NOT ADOPTED.
The resolutions were received by the
convention, but not adopted.
The order of electing members of the
county central committee was passed by
the convention until tomorrow morn.
