COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.
The following was presented and
read by FRANCIS Nj. Walker, chairman
of the committee:
The Republican party OF tho State
of Delaware, through their represeu-
tative5 III convention assembled, hero
by express their approval OF tho sa
gacious, wise, manly aud patriotic nd
ministratiun of President Harrison in
tic conduct Of the foreign affairs OF
tho country Under him. and his
great secretary, james q. Blaine. the
national homer and dignity have been
maintained, in striking contrast to the
teehleness and pusilianimity which
marked the administration of his
predecessor. While under tho exer-
cise OF the discretion committed to
| him by law, reciprocity treaties have
been concluded, which open up new
aud rich channels OF trade and COM
| mefeo
4 We record our approval of the great
| principle Of protection to American
| Industry, rs enacted in tho tariff act
known rs this Mckinley bill. Put bo.
lore the nation under "a tOrront OF
Democratic Misrepresentation and
ubusa, its complete yindication has
! teen found in the beneiiuant results
oi ono year OF actual experience. Tn
, del 1t, new industries have been es-
tabi!5hcd aud Old ones flourish. Ameri-
CAN labor has continued to reap its
rich reward, while the prices of pro-
tectcd products have not advanced.
The removal Of revenue taxes has re-
duced the price OF sugar. The Cana
dian competition IN farm and other ia
tural products has boon cut oil and
new and rich markets for both have
been opened, both in South Ameri-
ca and Europe; and the markets
OF the United States have been demon
strated to be the power to secure ami
maintain reciprocal trade on favord-
bic condltiOns from foreign nations.
No arc in favor OF the firm IN ii nte-
nance OF the principle established un-
X
that ships under the American ilag and
in our coaStwise commerce should be
| built i'll American ShiypardS, to the cad
that we should be independent of
othcr nations for both ships and sea-
Iuen in time of.war, and that his indus
try, III which our state has SO large an
interest, shall be preserved for AIueri-
| can mechanics and capital. We are in
fslvor of the construction of strong
and efficient navy. i'll order that our
commerce may be properly looked
after. our national policy enforced.
and our citizens everywhere made to
feel that tho national flag Is their sure
protection.
Ne are unreservedly in favor of the
free coinage of silver whenever, but
not until by proper agreement be-
tween the nations, we ayI assured OF
restoration OF the parity OF silver with
geld; ana We commend the efforts OF
President Harrison, by an internati on
al conference, to secure the end so
much desired.
We are iii favor of Just and liberal
pensions for tho soldiers and sailors
who fought for the preservation OF
the nation.
We again denouncc tho conspiracy
Which, under the name of tho Demo-
cratic party, continues to misEoyern
this State; which confines TO odious
officials the power to deny our citi-
zens the equal opportunity to qualify
to vote, and has, by an act of unpar
alleleu Capitalization, given to the
governor the power to appoint every
where his partisans as registrars; that
turned out of oifiee in New Castle
County the collectors of taxes ap-
pointed according to law, and put in
the hands of one man the power over
the payment of taxes and tho qualili-
cation OF voters; and by an act of ger-
rymander underworld to place the
control of that county in u Levy Court
to be elected by minority and not by
majority of its people.
We call the attention Of the people
of the state to the fact this prolonged
and hitherto successful undertaking
to control our State government by
the disfrHnchisement OF its citizens
has brought its legitimate fruit in a
crop OF deialcations of officials, and to
an extent, hitherto happily without
precedent in our history; and that the
