lican county convention met here to-day
and unanimously nominated Hon. F.

were adopted amid great enthusiasm:
We, the delegates. representatives Of
the Republicans Of Mineral county, as.
semblsd in convention at Keyser, do
resolve
Flrst. Tha! It Is our firm belief.
doubly strengthened by the political
events Of the past two years, that the
Republican party has been, and still 10,
right on the great issues before the
American people-riRht on the tariff
Question-right on financial queetions
right on foreign relationships on
domestic economy, and that tho Demo
cratic party 10 wrong on these Issues,
woefully. dissstrously wrong.
Second. That We find sufficient proof
Of this in comparing the brave, patriotic
aud prosperous administration Of Ben.
jamin Harrison, having at his right
hand that peerless and much lamented
statesman, James g. Blaine, with the
strange, SecretiyO aud cnlamitous i'd
ministratIon Of Grover Cleveland, IN
administration whose bane and blight,
even at this hour, are felt In our land
in the destruction OF public confidence,
in the stoppage Of industrial enterprises,
in the depreciation OF property and in
the increase OF idleHeas, poverty and
discontentment.
Third. That we look with our pride
upon tho record Of The last Republican
Congress, tho fifty-lhIrd, presided over
by that Incompatible parliamGntarian,
Thomas Reed, a Congress that gave TO
the country the Mckinley bill, which,
during It's short existence, did so much
to build up American industries; and
We look with shame and foreboding
upon the record OF the Democratic Con.
gress Just adjourned, which has exposed
its incompetency TO the eyes OF the
whole nation, and has framed q tariff
bill, which the chief executive himself,
n member OF the party which enacted
tho bill, has pronounced a crude and
traltorous measure.
Fouth-That we bemoan the continued
suspense into which tho country is again
thrown by the recent utterances OF
Grover Cleveland and W. L. Wilson,
with regard to the withdrawal oil taritl
agitation, il the Democratic party should
10 continued in power.
Fifth-That We resent the effort made
by the ways and means committee OF
tho house OF representatives. under the
leadership OF the chairman, tho above
mentioned resident and representative
OF our own Congressional district, TO
cripple, By tariff legislation, tho indus
tries OF our county and state which are
go necessary to their proper Develop
ment, including tho great industries in
iron ore, coal, lumber, farm products,
and especially wool, to tho production
OF which our county is particularly
adapted.
Sixth-That We lament tho business
and financial depression which hovers
over our land like q great cloud.
brought on by Democratic ascendency
"a depression from which our own
state and county have not escaped-and
which has given rise to those conditions
which have created strikes and social
turbulence, resulting in great loss :both
to capital and labor.
Seyenth-That We reaflirm our DO.
lief in the protection OF home indus:
tries, in tho maintenance of sound
money and In the rights OF the Ameri-
can soldier.
Eighth-That VIC favor, as our party
has always done, Wise and liberal views
with regard TO the FREQ schools and
other benelcent institutions OF the
state and county, and We also approve
all enterprising and honorable means
that arc taken 10 develop tho resources
OF tho state and county; in these and in
other respects taking pride in making
West Virginia the peer OF any state in
the Union, aud in making Mineral
county a homo. known afar for the
comfort. tho intelligence and tho pros
perity Of its people.
Ninth-That we heartily indoree tho
action OF the congressional convention
held at Elkins, in nominating tho Hon.
A. G. Dayton to represent III Congress
the Second congressional district OF our
state, and that wo extend to him cor.
dial greeting and the pledge to do all
in our power to secure his election.
And teuth-Tlat wo in convention
assembled, with faith in the principles
OF the Republican party, and with un.
bounded hops in its future success and
usefulness, do appeal to the Repnblt-
cans OF Mineral county. and to thinking
peoplo in general. and that We say TO
thom, "a ballot cast for tho Republican
ticket in November will be your part
this fall toward restoring public cont.
dence, toward bringing back prosperity,
and toward securing an administration
OF affairs that shall be wise, firm aud
