The report of the committee on reso-
lutions which was unanimously adopt
ed by the convention was as follows:
We reat1irm our faith in the princi-
piles of republicanism as enunciated
in the state republican platform, and
pledge our support to that party,
which for more than a third OF CEN
fury has demonstrated its ability to
safely conduct the nation in times of
peril and promote its progress in times
of peace.
That in coming national republi-
administration, we hail the day when
| the questions of tariff and finance will
| be wisely considered and safely settled
| Believing that in the future as in the
past the republican party can be trusted
we have confidence in its ability to
care for all pending questions OF social,
personal and political nature and
enact such legislation as will further
| the suppression or control of vice and
immortality.
2. We endorse the administration of
Gov. Frank ID. Jackson, as eminently
| wise, patriotic and judicious, and we
particularly commend to the people of
this sever: teenth senatorial district,
the careful attention which has been
given to the management of our state
Institutions by the executive COUNSEL of
the state.
3. We appreciate and endorse the
services of Hon. II. f. Andrews, as
senator of the seventeenth district of
Iowa in the Gath and 25th general as
semblies, recognizing his adherance to
the principles of republicanism, and
his devotion to the interests of his con-
stituents aud we especially approve
and commend his efforts on behalf of
the SURVIVING veterans of the union
army.
4. We congratulate this convention
upon the floral decorations of this hall
and the presence here today of so many
of the fair ladies of Audubon and hail
it as an omen of the coming time when
woman will be permitted to cast her
ballot with that of her-at present
too selfish brother.
