Whereas, We, the representatives and delegates
VI patty I'tVl SuuFit!
convention assembled, recognize the necessity Of
good gOye rIlmeat, and this can only be had under
| our federal constitution BY the choice through
party action, OF wise and patriotic men to admin
,ster It's various departments and secure to indi
yiduals Of all classes and conditions, without re
gard to race or locality the rights and privileges
I guaranteed to them BY the state and federal laws
Whereas The history Of the Republican part,
since its acquisition OF power has shown this to be
its aim and tnat its policy has always been frameG
with view OF attaining this end and at the same
! time Of strengthening our own institutions ant
extending and protecting our own industries so a.
| to characterize them rs uistinetlvely and eAelu
i Slyely American: therefore, be It
/ Resolved, That We hereby reai1lrm our fealty *
the principles and policy OF the Republican part
as enu1lciated in the platform Of the Nationa
i Republican convention Of 1888; also hereby pledg
Ing ourselves to aid By all laudable means in on
power to maintain and perpetuate its principle
and policy.
1 Resolved, That We most heartily endorse AM
approve the honest, ullWavering, able and thor
Oughly patriotic administration of Preslien
Harrison which has been characterized through
the wise policy OF juCcious protection and reel
procity With prosperity unexlmpled III the cen
tury, and that we especially applaud with glowing
i pride the administration OF the state department
by the peerless American, James G. Blaine, Whose
ability, fidelity and courage has given added lustrs
/ to the flag Of the great republic on every lant
and sea.
Resolved, That the vicious attempt of the Dem
ocr;ltc party i'll congress to undermine the Repub
lc;ln system OF protection TO American industries
1 by the inSidiouS and dishonest method OF attack
ing the system through those industries that arr
not numerically strong at the polls or in congress
is exposed and eXempliied in the recent action Q
the house OF representatives in attempting to re
! peal the tariff on wool. to the great wrong an,
injury OF /; large and worthy number OF the peopl
of Montana, and that we condemn the action 0
the representative, W. W. Dixon, i'll voting il
favor OF that repeal.
| Resolved That the clandestine demonstration
of silver in 1873 and the degradation of that twill
money metal to All article of merchandise. was
gross wrong to 1t and to the people Of the United
States that should be promptly rectifled by 1t
restoration on parity with gold, and It's tree am
/ unlimited coinage by the national mlnts; tina
anything less than this falls short OF the measur.
/ OF Justice to Il noble money metal that was $.
recognized from the first dawn OF civilization unit
/ the OVerWeening avarice OF creditor classes dis
/ covered greater gains in its demonstration; tina
a continuance OF present conditions is Il srievous
| wrong to Montana, to the American people and
violation OF the spirit Of protection to American
| Industries; therefore, it is further
Resolved, That our delegates to the state con
vention be and are hereby requested to vote onl.
for delegates to the national convention who art
| true to the interests of Montana on the si1yel
question and will faithfully endeavor to secure
recognition Of the rights OF silver and such actor
by the national convention as will result in 1t:
/ enlarged use.
| DR.. Q. Lesser, Of Anaconda, raised the
only objection to the resolutions. He
moved qualification Of the resolution
