lied to count and declare the result in the
sub- districts. The tabulation then pro-
ceeded and was finished about o'clock.
Mr.. Greer, of the Committee on Reso-
lutions, then arose and read the resolutions,
which were in'the handwriting of Col. Sui
Ivan. They were as follows:
The Republican party of Butler county
adhere with unswerving fidelity To its
principles as announced in the platforms
of its National and State conventions, and
as represented by its martyred leaders,
Lincoln and Garfield, and their worthy
Republican Presidential successors Pro
tection to every branch of American In
dustry, sound and reliable currency,
represented by the honest dollar, redeem
able at its face in all parts of the world.
Strict accountability and rigid economy III
the administration of the government, a
pure and unterrorized ballot box, most
liberal governmental provision tor the
soldier who has periled his life IN defense OF
his country, and for his widow and orphan
oh hlldren, general educationand the severest
restraints and penalties of law against
e rim or nrn mi N mi
points in our political faith. Born as the
party of freedom, the Republican party in
| It's mere than thirty-five years OF growth,
confidently points to its record in the past
with all its records faithfully fulfilled, ami
mated with single continuous aim to pro-
mote the best interests of the whole people
| OF this great Nation, as an assurance and
prophecy of what may be expected II ON II
| in the future.
| On the eve of another important Pres
| idential election, in which the signal gun
of victory from Rhode Island opens the
campaign, the Republicans of Butler
county declare:
| lst. Confidence in and approval of the
administration Of Benjamin Harrison,
| President of the United States. Distin
guished ability, unimpeachable integrity
and broad, intelligent craftsmanship,
| Respected at home and honured abroad,
| for his conscientious regard for every
pledge he made before he assumed his
office, and for his firm and dignitied
assertion and the maintenance of the rights
| of our Nation in the face OF every foreign
power, President Harrison has proved him
| self in every respect equal to the require
mcnts of his great Office. 1t can worrhily
and most safely remain in his hands for
another term, and SO far as the instructions
OF the Republicans of Butler county shall
have weight with the delegates to the
National convention, they are hereby
given for President Harrison's nomination.
End. The Republicans of this county
who have stood by James G. Blaine,
Pennsylvania favorite son, in every
canvass in which he has he. etofore been
named for the Presidency, regretfully
| accept his own declsion.i to remain no
longer in the field, as final Official
distinction cannot now add to the COM
pleteness of his fame. The political his
torian of this century will assign him his
nobly earned place rs ''the leader of lead
ers," like Webster and Clay with higher
honor than the Presidency could confer
Sd. The declared choice of the Repub-
lcans of this county for the United States
Senatorship at the next election for Sena-
tor, is Hon. n. S. Quay, and the candidates
for the Legislature this day nominated, if
elected, are instructed to vote for him.
Our generous support we are confident
will be justified by Senator Quay, by such
o representation of the great interests of
Pennsylyania in the highest council of the
Nation, as will reflect cledit upon himself,
and honor upon bis State
4th. The unanimous endorsement Of
Thomas w. Phillips by the Republicans Of
this county at the primaries for Congress 10
q merited tribute to the ability and worthof
citizen, who has closely identified him
self with the business interests of this
county. and his election will give US a
capable, efficient and trustworthy repre-
sentation.
9Th. Hon. Harry White, of Indiana
county, presents an honorable record,
civu, MILITARY aud jUdittst which strongly
