III. Inc report OF the committee was unan-
The convention was solid for Mckinley
and no other candidate seemed to have a
friend present. The following resolution
was adopted as expressing the sentiments
of the conventions
Resolved, That the republicans of Chat
nam county, in regular convention as
sembled, recognize In the Hon. William
Mckinley of Ohio. the most distinguish
ed champion of the republican policy of
protection and reciprocity, and of eqaui
rights and equal recognition of all men re-
gardless or color or nationality, that we
honor him as the defender of a sound sys-
tenn of finance and believe in him as
type OF the best American citizenship in
both public and private life; and that
we hereby express to the delegates cleo
ted to the st. Louis convention our judg-
ment that they shall use all reasonable ef-
forts to secure his nomination for the
presidency.
There was considerable skirnishing on
the question Of delegates from this con-
gressfonal district to the national reDuh-
lican convention at St. Louis. Rev F. K
Love is ambitious to be a delegate and so
also are Capt. M. J. Doyle and Prof. S. b.
Morse and some other lesser lights Some
of the other counties in the district also
have men who are ambitious to be dele
gates to the national convention and Chat
ham may not be able to get both dele
gates. The matter was compromised by
the adoption of a resolution endorsing Rev
E. K. Love. Prof. S. B. Morse and Cant
M. j. Doyle and favorng the selection of
any two out of the three as delegates to
the national convention
The convention adopted the following
resolution on the subject of the Blair edu-
cational bill. introduced by DR. j. II. Bugg:
Resolved, That the republicans of this
county view with profound favor the eff
fort on the part of republicans to revive
an interest in the Blair educational bin,
and that they respectfully ask thesdele-
gates to the national convention to use
their strongest efforts to have adopted
into the republican platform a plank. ia

education
