cordial and united support OF the Republican

recognize able and efficient auXiliaries and
welcome them to the ranks OF the Republican
party and to active participation in the affairs
of State.
ResoEred, That the Republican party of Cal

early completion, under Government control,
or The Nicaragua Canal, and the liberal eX-
penditure OF money to improve our harbors
and internal waterways; and it invites cap
ital to build into the State other and compel
ing transcontinental lines of railway pledg-
ing protection and support TO all instrument
talltles existing and to exist that may pro-
mote the general welfare and give to the peo-
pie the benefit of the law of competition.

t1on be instructed to telegraph our representa-
