ADOPTING RESOLUTIONS.
The announcement OF the delegates was
interrupted by the committee on resolu-
lions. which reported the following resolu-
tons:
we the delegated representatives of the
Lincoln league of Indiana, in convention
assembled, hereby reaffirm our faith In the
principles of the Republican party. as de-
clared in the last State and national con-
ventions. We believe that the prosperity
and wellbeing of the American people de-
pend upon the success OF the political and
economic principles of the Republican
party.
CT administration Of Benjamin Harrison,
and the excellent laws enacted by the
Fifty-frst Congress. and call the attention
OF the people to the sharp contrast between
the material conditions then prevailing.
With the Mckinley bill in full operation and
pure protection the well-deined policy OF
the Nation the wear 1NQl VA the most
prosperous the American people have ever
enjoyed; with the certainty OF the destruc-
a purely revenue tariff, the year 1893 has
proven the most disastrous known since the
Democrats last had full control of the gov
eminent. We denounce as unfair and I'M
patriotic and as contrary to all ideas OF
Justice and right the policy of the present
Democratic administration in depriving ex.
Union soldiers of their pensions, without
giving them a hearing.
I'VE look with sorrow and humiliator
upon the diSgraceful efforts of the CleVe-
land administration to reverse the former
foreign policy of this government. TO re-
press the efforts Of the Hawaiian people &c
establish a republican form of government
and to restore a monarchy by replacing
upon the throne a dissolute. ty%rannical anC
| barharOuS Queen.
I'VE have firm faith in the undying prin.
ciples of the Republican party, as first eN.
emplifed in the administration of Abraham
Lincoln. and believe that in pushing the or
ganization of clubs in every township and
precinct we are using the best methods OF
/ attaining success IOF tnCSe IT-lCfIitS. W
earnestly recommend the widest circulation
Of Republican newspapers as being the
most efficient means to the doc
trineS OF good government. to the end tina
RepublicaniSm shall eventually triumph IL
every State in the Union"
SEVERAL TIMELY SPEECHES.
All OF the districts were not ready with
the names Of their delegates at the time
the roll was called. and the interim was
occupied by a speech from ex-senator Love
lard. He said:
This being a purely business meeting. Il
has assembled under flattering auspices. A
little over a year ago it was said that tn,
defeat of the Republican party augured g
continued defeat for years. / have watched
the turning CT the tide, and see now tbs
incoming Of the Republican party to vic
tory because IL deserves IL. / know tn,
OF The Union Ii is not a party that ha.
ridden into power on false pretenses ans
as soon as IL has attained power began q
fight over the Spots as dogs for Il bone
ITO the delegates here assembled | wan
to say that so long as we favor only sucl
men are as stanch and loyal to Republic
anism so long will We be successful. II
the winds with mugwumpiSm! Let Vi
strengthen ourselves in local politics anC
advance only such men as are faithful 4
the party in sunshine and storm. Strength
in our local affairs means State and ma
tional strength"
James Watson was then called upon 70

his seat i'm the rear OF the room he wa.
greeted with an ovation. He said n
