resolutions:
''Resolved, that we reahlrm our ale
glance to the teachings and principles of
the Republican party; that we commend
said principles and teachings to the serious
thought and patriotism of all citizens
of our beloved yet unneveioped state {;
that we point with pride to the fact that
the protective feature of the tariff law has
contributed as largely in matter and
morals to the upbuilding of this ma
ton as any law that ever emanated
from the human mind; that we condemn
the persistent efforts of the Democratic
party to saddle upon this nation that for
eigners1 policy which tends to prostitute the
muscles and manhood upon which our
country depends for its support and de-
velopment: that we condemn the
Texas legislature, lament the leg
lslation and dePlore the condition that
gave existence to so odlous law as the
separate coach bill; that the separate coach
bill, like all class legislation, harbors a
most serious and positive menace to the
peace and prosperity of the higher man
hood oflthe present and following genera
tons; that the alien land law,
by repelling capital and turning aside
the tide of immigration, depreciates
the value of our lands and contracts the
circulation of our finances; that patriotism
and progressive politics demand the repu-
diation of both the separate coach and alien
laws.
e "kesolved, further, that we point with
pride aud pleasure to the just, wise and
patriotic administration of Benjamin Har-
risen. which we indorse as being the equal
of any administration with which our
country has been classed, and
Resolved, that we condemn the policy and
cause of the collector of the port as being
singularly unrepublican, and
Resolved, that should our delega-
ton to the state convention be-
come divided on any question
the minority shall be entitled each to only
one-half vote.
Resolved, that the whole number of the
delegation that attends the state conven-
ton SHAH be- considered the whole delega-
ton; thatdelegation is hereby empowered to
cast the vote of this county in the congress
sional convention
The delegation were instructed to support
G. NJ. Ferguson as delegate at large to the
national Repu blicdn convention.
After the election of a county executive
committee the convention adjourned.
