RESOLUTIONS.
Representing the Republicans of Butler
County in County Convention this day as
sembled, we hereby declare our views up
on the political questions of the day, as fol-
lows:
selves upon the growing increase of our
marty and the spread of Republican prin-
ciples. as manifested by the increased vote
ofthe party at all elections recently held,
vet we deplore the causes that have pro-
duced the existing condition OF affairs we
frd in our country to-day, brought about
as we believe by the folly present rule and
uncalled for policy OF the Democratic
marty now in power. Upon its coming In
to mower that party declared its hostility
10 the great American principle of pro-
teet1on to home industries, thus alarming
the people with fear Of sudden change
causing business and enterprise to hesi-
tate or stand still. existing mills and fac
tories to either close or work upon half
time. thus decreasing labor and wages and
increasing idleness and want, with doubt
and uncertainty prevailing on all sides and
now eliminating in large bodies of discon-
tented men marching to the Capital OF the
Nation to demand unusual legislation and
unusual laws as remedy for the depress-
ion in trade and business.
2nd-That we continue to hold last to
the principle of protective tariff upon all
foreign imports and articles that come In
eompetition with our own growth, labor or
manufacture, and we denounce the DEM
ocratic Wilson bill now pending in Con-
gress which has for its avowed object the
cutting down ofpresent tariff rates with
the consequent reduction of the wages of
labor in this country. We approve OF the
votes of our Senators and members in Con-
cress against said Wilson bill and urge
them to continue their opposition to the
passage of the same.
3rd-That on the question OF the curren-
CIV we approve Of the declaration made on
the same by the last Republican National
Convention, to the effect that the Repub-
lican party demands the use of both gold
and silver as standard money under such
provisions by legislation as will secure ths
narity of values of the two metals so that
S the purchasing and debt paying power of
the dollar whether of gold, silver or paper,
shall be at all times equal and that every
dollar, of paper or coin shall be as good as
any other.
4th-That the ability and faithful SER
vices in Congress of the Hons. Galusha A.
Grow and Alexander Mcdowell demand
their denomination at the coming State
Convention as the Republican candidates
for Congressmen- at Large from this State
and our delegates to the State Convention
are hereby requested to vote for them.
5th-That in the Hon. Thomas W. Phil
lips this district has worthy, useful and
influential member in Congress and his
unanimous denomination at the coming dis
trict Convention will meet with the hearty
approval of the Republicans of Butler Co.
The Delegates to said Convention from
this County are hereby earnestly request
ed to vote for his denomination as the ex-
preston of the will OF our people.
6th-That the unanimity over the State
designating General Daniel Ii. Hastings as
the next Republican candidate for Govern
or of Pennsylvania, meets our warm ap-
proval. We regard him as nobleman by
nature, worthy OF our confidence, and one
who will make strong candidate ana
safe Governor.
7th-That the Delegates to the State
Convention from this county are hereby
requested to vote for the nomination of
the Hon. Walter Lyon, of Allegheny coun-
ty. for Lieutenant Governor.
Sth-That we endorse the candidacy of
the Hon. J. B. Showalter for the NOM
ination for Secretary of Internal Affairs at
coming State Convention, and our dele
