thusiastic Convention and Pass Resolutions
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
NoBLEsyILLE. Ind, Jan. 9.-The Repub-
lican voters of Hamilton county met in
mass-convention at the courthouse in this
city at 10 o'clock to-day. The convention
was one of the largest, most enthusiastic
and harmonious ever assembled In this
county. Hon. Thomas j. Keene was chosen
chairman. "A frst-class committee was
chosen for the campaign and delegates Sc
lected 10 meet in district convention at
Lafayette. The convention adopted q Sc
ries of resolutions indorsing the admins
tration of President Harrison. after ap-
propriate mention of the memory of the late
Hon. Joseph X. Gray and Gov. A. T.. Hovey
the resolutions proceeded as follows:
From the dead we turn TO the living and the
first that confronts nS is PRESIDENT Benjamin
Harrison, whose splendid administration Lac
been and now is an aspiration 10 every Repub-
lican. With clean hands, pure heart and clear
intelligence he has directed the government OF
our country in an unexceptionable manner and
we accord TO IL and 10 MIN personally our un-
qualified rraise and thanks; and shouid the next
national Republican convention inquire whats
the matter with Harrisonl" we viii respond in
one voice, "He's all right"
We. in common with all other Republican as
semblages, OF whatever character, revere the
memory and appreciate the value and extent of
the services of the Union soldiers and sailors OF
the civil war. and commend their claim TO the
most liberal consideration of Congress. AS they
fought 10 establish some OF the cardinal princi-
pies of party against the attacks OF the
Southern Democracy, we now. in return, tender
them our service in repelling the assaults OF the
same foe on them and theirs.
In the scheme of tariff reform ana reciprocal
trade relations with other nations, as exemph-
fled in the Mckinley bill, with such revisions
and amendments as the progress or time, indus
trial growth and the wlsest statesmanship shall
dictate, rests the only safety OF the Industrial
welfare of our Nation.
The currency advocated by the Republican
party is the safest and best Let the gold sil-
yer and paper dollar be or the same value the
country over. AS our party struck down the
local wildcat" currency OF Democratic origin,
which depended on locality for Its value. and
substituted paper currency on a par with gold
and silver throughout the civilized world, 80 we
now protest against an effort on the part OF tire
Democracy to localize and disorganize the uni
form aud universal value OF the silver dollar by
making IL of less than par vaiue. and this, too
at the expense OF the government, and 10 the
detriment of the people. aud fer the sole benefit
of the mine-owners and silver kings.
The resolutions proceed by condemnina
the tax law of the last Legislature. and
indorsing the action and course Of State
Senator Boyd and Representative John s.
Hougham. Enthusiastic speeches were
made by Hon. Robert Graham, Senator
Boyd. and Others. In q burst of enthusiasm
the convention gave three rousing cheere
and adjourned. All feel that grand day'f
work has been accomplished.
