Committee on resolutions reported
the following, which was unanimously
adopted:
We, the Republicans of Stevens
county in convention assembled, cor
daily endorse the national Republi-
can platform adopted at Minneapolis,
and cordially endorse the nomination
of Harrison and Reid.
We view with pride the vast tide of
prosperity which blesses our country
under Republican rule. and undaunt-
march of progress at either the rebuke
of Democrat Or the calamity howl
of a Peoples partyite.
Our belief in the past in Republican
principles remains mistaken, and
thirty years of control of the nation
by the party to which we belong is an
history the parallel in greatness and
glory has never been equalled at any
time by any people on the globe. No
nation is wise to exchange existing
prosperity for an uncertainty. The
Democratic party has no record upon
which it can hope to gain a vote.
The Peoples party has none what
ever, except it's reputation to cry
calamity it justly being denom-
mated a success in that line.
We cordially endorse the brilliant,
wise and patriotic administration of
President Harrison, and pledge him
our hearty and undivided support.
