Resolved by the republicans of Rock
Island county In convention assembled
First: We pledge anew our feslty to
the republican party. For nearly 40
years it has been and still is the party of
the people. the party of intelligence, in
tegrity, liberty. equality and progressive
ness. 1t came into life as protest
against that greatest of human wrongs
slavery. 1t made Abraham Lincoln the
greatest American president 1t con-
9uered the most stupendous and most in
iquitous rebellion the world has eyer seen.
II restored peace. Its msgniminity was
as great as its vslor. and it forgave the
wrong doer and rest ored him to orother-
heed. 1t recognized the bravery and
deserts of the despised negro, changed
him from thing to q man, and clothed
him with that greatest garment the
robe of American citizenship. With but
one shert break in more than 80 years, it
has welded the powers Of the govern
ment and always in the interest Of the
people. 1t has maintained the dignity OF
the country among the nations of the
earth. 1t has demanded and obtained re-
spect for the American flag. the Ameri-
can sailor and and the American citizen.
1t has furnished IAN honest money
for an honest people," and in
such volume as TO meet the re
quirements OF business. Its revenue
policy has been such that American trade
and industries have been built up. The
American wage Garner has been saved
from the poverty and degradation of the
old world and the necessary revenues OF
our government have been largely paid
by the people Of other countries. Ii has
improved our sea coast hsrbors, opened
up the navigation OF our rivers, built ca
mails, curbed the rapacity OF the railways.
shut out from our borders the criminal
and the vile. and given to every boy and
girl free of Expense, the opportunity OF
education. 1t is the living body of human
| progress. The worthy political fruit Of
the first 400 years of American civilizs-
ton.
Ithas yet work to do. 1t has yet 10
fight the free trade demands OF poverty
stricken Europe and the democratic
party 1t has yet to fight for the labor
interests Of this country. 1t has still to
insist upon honest money, and above all
else it must secure to every voter, south
rs we'll as north, the right to cast ballot,
free from threat, force and violence, free
from the lash, the rope and the shotgun.
Second. We most heartily endorse the
administration of President HARRISON
1t has been able, clean. courageous and
positive. He is q worthy successor of
/ WASHINGTON lincoln and Grant He 10
