Following is the report Of the commit
tee on resolutions:
THE Republicans of Salt Lake coun-
ty, this day in convention assembled.
renew their full allegiance and fealty
! to the grand Republican party, which.
since its organization, has been the
most potent political agency for good
OF modern times, and so assembled we
declare the following principles:
flIs5-We reaffirm the admirable
principles of party policy adopted bv
the recent Territorial Republican CON
vention held at Provo.
! Seccnd-We denOunce in specific and
unme9sured terms the methods pursued
by the Democratic party of Salt Lake
county and Utah territory, to obstruct
lull and fair registration of the yot
erS OF this county and territeit. there
oa preventing a free ballot aia a fair
Ialrd-Recognizing the responsibility
Whlch devolves upon US of moulding
the character of Utah. the Youngest
child Of the great republic. we urge
upon all good patriotic citizens the
duty OF so voting that the control of
the coming constitutional convention
snail not be placed in the hands of
that party which in 1892 declared in
solemn terms that the levying of pro-
teetiVe duties, to which this country
owes so much, is demonstrations a
fraud upon and robbery of the Ameri-
can people; that party which since its
control of the government has by its
attempts at legislation shown that it
is the relentless enemy of American in
dustries and American labor
F'ourth-We again declare ourselves
in favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver in the ratio of Is to 1.
Flfth-We endorse with pride the
nomination of the brilliant and aggres-
sive young giant, Hon. Frank j. Can
non, for delegate to Congress: we seek
his election because of his eminent fit
ness for this position and for the prin-
! clples he represents, and pledge to him
our unqualified support from now I'M
til the polls close on the 9Th day of
next November.
we urge his support upon every
American citizen, whether native or
: foreign born, who desires to redeem the
great mineral, agricultural, manufac-
turing and wool industries of this
country from the destructive policy
and legislation of the present foreign
Democratic free trade administration,
because his election by the people of
this fair territory will furnish the most
potential evidence that Utah does not
endorse in any manner such mal-ad-
ministration of the affairs of the peo-
pie"
