w. |. Squires of Toledo, who has been

ing resolutions:
w u Allc lCDlNCNhl Vi wv ''NE'"'
lican League Clubs of the United States
in national convention assembled, re-
affirm our belief in and devotion TO the
principles of the republican party as
enumerated by the national republican
convention in 1872.
We point with pride to the passage Of
IA general law for the safety Of life and
limb of railway employees. We declare
that we are in hearty sympathy with
every Legislative enactment which will
promote the interest of wage earners and
tend to cqualize the conditions and hHr-
monizc the relations between labor aud
capital, always regarding the moral and
material welfare of the g,eat body Of the
| people as the primary object 10 be al
tanned. We declare our faith in genuine
secret ballot laws, fortified by c]iiicicnt
acts of suppression Of corrupt Practice
in elections.
We demand the suppression III al,
public gambling, whethe: III food prod
ucts or by means Of lottery tickets.
We heartily urge an amendment TO
the constitution making the president
ineligible 10 IA second successive term.
We recommend to the favorable . q
sideration Of the republican clubs Of the
United States the matte, of education;
and the question Of granting to women
of state and nation the right to vote at
elections on the same tcnms and cOndi-
tions as male citizens.
The foreign policy Of Benjamin ij&r-
rison and James q. Blaine deserves ana
receives, the commentator of all Ameri-
cans who believe in preserving the rights
and dignity Of the United States and in
extending the scope of its influences. In
accordance with that policy we reailirm
our determination to encpurge the en-
forcement of the Monroe doctrine,
not only as it applies to North
and South America, but also to those
islands in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
which are or may become necessary to
the protection of our coast line and our
trade. When the American flag covers
American interests and American honor
it must never be lowered,
Whereas, the democratic party for
the first time in thirty-two years has
succeeded to power in both the execu-
tive and Legislative branches of the gov
eminent, we now direct attention to the
fact that it should either give the people
a fair trial of the policies advocated in
its national platform or admit that it
gained supremacy by gross misrepresen-
tation and hypocrisy.
