Brainerd, Mimi, Special, Aug 2s.-Hon.
9. a. ToWne Of Duluth was nominated for
congress by reclamation at the Sixth dis
trict Republican convention, held here to-
day.
The convention was organized at 10: 30
this morning by electing Col. George II.
Whitney Of Wadena temporary chairman,
j. B. Tarbox Of Wright county secretary,
and ]. ]. Engle of Anoka assistant. ST A COM
mittee of one from each county was APP
pointed on resolutions, and on credentials,
organization and rules committees of five
each We're appointed by the chair. The con-
vention then took recess until 80.
Where They Stand.
Upon reassembling the committee on reso-
buttons presented the following, which were
unanimously adopted: 2l{S
I'VE, the Republicans Of the Sixth con-
gressional district Of Minnesota, in con-
yention assembled, declare anew our devo-
ton to the grand old party Of liberty and
progress, and our loyalty to its principles.
We congratulate the people upon the re-
moval OF the constant hindrance of the re-
operative forces Of the country by the adj
journment of the Democratic congress,
whose coming together completed the
paralysis of the Industries Of the land begun
by the Inauguration Of the Democratic pres
ident, whose deliberations aroused the pity
of mankind, and whose results are salts
factory to nobody.
.'We reafirm our belief in the great Re
publican doctrine Of protection to the Amer
lean farm, American factory, American
mine and American workingmen, the pres
ervation of our home market for the home
producer, the maintenance Of a standard of
wages that make those who earn them the
greatest consumers in the world, and safe
repositories of duties and privileges of
American citizenship; and we condemn the
Democratic party for enacting tariff law
based upon no principle and embracing con-
cessions to protection inspired only by per-
sonal, partisan and sectional Influences,
while striking down the wise system of reel
procity which had its origin in the genius of
a James G. Blaine and it's justification in
experience.
1--WE believe that the consistent application
Of protection requires the regulation of i'm
ported persons as well as imported goods,
and we declare for radical legislation look
ing to restriction Of undesirable immigra-
ton and the expulsion Of anarchists and
those who proclaim themselves enemies of
all society and government.
The Financial Plank.
"By tradition, interest and conviction he.
American people are favorable to bimet.,
allism and the Republican party of the
United States and Of Minnesota is definitely
pledged thereto in its state and national
platforms. TO that principle we proclaim
our adherence. Bimetallism is the equal,
| privilege Of coinage at government minis
of both gold and silver and inasmuch as
the party is pledged to that actievment
| and believing it. to be in the interest OF
and speedy accomplishment of it under
such conditions as shall insure the parity
of the two metals and their common en-
| ployment as the ultimate standard money
| in the effecting Of exchanges and payment
| of debts. There is no doubt that the ma
jority of governments Of the world embrac-
| ing many of the commerce creating nations,
| and especially those whose markets afford
| the most alluring prospects to our export
| trade, would instantly upon our invitation
! become parties to an agreement providing
| for the free and equal coinage Of both gold
and silver at the minis of the associated
i governments at a ratio to be determined by
] the same considerations as those which orr
| ginany guided the United States in the
| choice Of a ratio for our coinage system.
A discriminating tariff duty upon imports
l from countries refusing to accede to the
1
| growth of our commerce with other bimet-
| allie nations, would speedily secure the CO.
| operation of hesitating powers. We abhor
| and reprObate tile delusiOn of fiat money,
and declare that the Republican party alone
has constructive craftsmanship competent
| to furnish the country with safe and suf-
| fcient monetary system.
1--WE demand that free ballot and fair
count shall be granted in every quarter of
the republic and we denounce the repeal
of the federal election laws by the Demo
cratic congress as an attack on the vita!
principle of government.
1 ownership OF Railroads.
s.We do not believe that government
ownership Of railroads is at the present
time either practicable or desirable, but we
favor the establishment Of Il system of
official supervision and control of railroad
construction and operation, and OF audit and
inspection of railroad accounts, to the end
that: First-The legitimate earning capacity
Of roads shall not be impaired by require
ment Of interest OF income from watered
stock and fictitious capital; second, that
capricious and sudden changes shall not
be made in the wages of employees and
terms and conditions Of employment; third,
that arbitration shall lake the place OF
violence in the settlement Of dispn. IS;
fourth, that full faith and credit may be
given to the published statements Of the
financial condition and business management
Of roads.
1--WE believe in the enforcement and ex-
tension OF civil service reform, and we
denouncc the betrayal Of that cause by
President Cleveland and his party.
'SThe Republican party will always be
just and generous towards the old soldiers
and sailors and their families, and pledge
itself to the redemption Of all promises made
to them in 1861. We believe the defenders
Of the flag found service no picnic and
that no party or candidate so characteriz-
ing it ought to be trusted to legislate for
those who saved the Union.
I'VE demand the forfeiture of Ill I'M
earned railroad land grants and their re
turn to the public domain so as to be
available for settlement under law, and
equitable taxation Of all vacant or unused
4 railroad land.
While we recognize that, wisely and
prudent]y operated corporations are not only
legitimate but necessary and beneficial in
81 stitutions, we nevertheless realize the dan
ger in their rapid multiplication in number
and growth in power, and we demand the
enactment and enforcement Of laws safe.
