OF the 1874 delegates elected at the re-
publican primaries to the county repub
lican convention, 1862 We're on hand at
Cofax, either in person or by proxy,
yesterday, and at 10 o'clock the conven-
ton was called to order. DR.. Harvey,
of Colfax, was made chairman, and
Miles Miller, secretary. After the ap-
pointment of committees on credentials,
platform and order of business, the con-
vention took Il recess till one o'clock to
give the committees time to prepare re-
ports.
At one O'Clock the reports of the COM
,,,it+oag, paal md Mat
form was enthusiastically adopted.
The platform reaflirms belief in re-
publican principles; arraigns the dem
ocratc party for mismanagement and
declares that only the restoration OF the
republican party to power will avert
impending disaster and promote the
welfare OF the people. The Wilson tariff
| bill is denounced, belief in civil and re-
ligious liberty, law and order declared
and more stringent enforcement OF for
eign immigration laws demanded. Pa
ternalism, as represented by the peoples
party is denounced, and the populists
further condemned for their denounce-
ment of the president of the United
States in his efforts to put down lawless-
ness. The populists are further de-
nounced for endorsing Coxeyism and
other things of socialstic and anarchis-
| tic tendencies, and one plank reads :
"We denounce as un-American and sub
versive OF liberty armed secret political
organizations whose avowed purposes
are to force their own political views up
on the people by threatened and actual
violence"
The silver plank is as follows: eve
favor bimetallism. Silver as well as
gold, is one of the great products of the
United States, and its coinage and use as
a circulating medium should be steadily
maintained and constantly encouraged
by the national government, and we ad-
Yocate such policy as will, by legisla-
tion or otherwise, most speedily restore
to silver its rightful place as a money
metal"
After the adoption OF the reports and
of the platform the attention OF the con-
vention was given to the nomination Of
the different county officials.
