Resolutions Reported.
William Alden Smith of the commit
tee on resolutions reported the follow
ing resolutions, which were received
with applause:
The republicans of Kent county in
convention assembled make the follow
ing declaration of principles:
We congratulate the republican party
in Michigan upon the result of Mon
days election, whereby many strong
holds of democracy were turned over
TO the custody or the republican party.
We denounce the administration of
the democratic party IN Mich igan, es-
pscially the acts of the late democratic
legislature known as the "Squawbuck
Legislature" whereby two republican
senator's we're dishonesty deprived of
their seats in that body to which they
bad been fairly elected, thus enabling
the democrats to control the legislation
of that body, and We call the attention
of the people to their attempt to steal
electoral votes for their candidate for
president by passage Of that most IN
iquItous measure, known as the miner
Law" which takes from the people of
the state their rightfui representation
In the electoral college.
We denoupce the democratic party
in Nj chigan for its parsimonious policy
in failing TO make sufficient appropria-
ton to permit Michigan to be credit
ably and properly represented at the
Worlds FAIR in 1898. Accidently CON-
ing INTO power IN 1891 they have shown
themselves incompetent and unit to
be intrusted with the management of
the affairs of state.
The able, upright, fair and fearless
administration of President Harrison,
both IN its foreign and domestic policy,
cxeites our honest admiration, and we
cordially endorse the same as meeting
the highest expectations of the Amerl-
can people.
We point with pride to the record of
the republican party made hy Its
chosen representatives in the fifty
congress, where, under the leadership
of gallant Tom Reed, they redcemei
the promises made IA their platform of
lsss.
The experience of the past twelve
months under the workings of the Nc
kiulev tariff law and the silver bill,
shows that the republican party Is now.
as il has always been, the true friend
of the great labor interests of the
United States, the former measure.

WILL give .mplovment To labor at good
wages, tbe latter giving us q dollar
worth 100 cents with whicn TO pay for

We endorse the reciprocity policy,
