RESOLUTIONS.
We, the republicans of Barto
county, in convention assembled, re
joice at this opportunity of reaffirmin
our faith in the principles of th
national republican party, which hav
in the past led the nation to the pir
nicale of prosperity, and which will ye
relieve the general distress and extren
ity now prevailing as a result of tn
ruinous policy of an incompetent den
ocratlc administration; and especial
do we assert our answering confdeno
in the republican idea of protectiS
tariff, which will under all circuu
stances insure a revenue amply ade
quate to meet all the expenses Of tt
government, and will at the same tin
foster and build up American industrie
cherish American enterprise, promo'
American thrift and guarantee to labt
constant employment at remunerati'
wages.
We congratulate the whole people
the United States in lifting their vost
above the clamor of selfish politician
and naming as their leader that Prime
of Statesmen, that Imperial gentlemal
soldier. scholar, citizen, patriot, WI
