The following resolutions were un-
animously adopted by the convention:
Resolved, That it be the sense of this
convention that we heartily commend
the action of the Hon. VIM. NJ. Ire
loar, our distinguished Congressman,
for espousing the cause of American
workmen against European cheap
labor, in his loyal stand for the old SOL
diers and for his business-ik method
of looking after the interests OF the
whole people in this Congressional
district, and that it be the further
sense of this convention that our del
egates to the Congressional Conven-
ton, which meets at Warrenton, be
instructed to use all favorable means
to secure his nomination, and further
that we urge all lovers of good gov
eminent to vote for his election in
November. Recognizing the condi-
ton of our country and the evils
brought on by the ascendency of the
Democratic party, and realizing the
great need of placing an American in
the exalted position of President of the
United Stares, we, the Republicans OF
Audraln county, in mass convention
| assembled, desire to give expression
to our convictions in regard to the
| next Chief Executive of the nation.
Therefore, be it
ResolUed, By this convention, that we
| recognize in the c%learness of econom-
ic principles, in the incompatible
| character in the loyalty to America
and Americans, elements of states
manship (that few men possess), and
that the person who embodies these
| characteristics is entitled to the sup
port of every Republican throughout
this great and compact land. There
fore, we join the hearty efforts of this
convention with friends from every
state, in placing upon our banner the
illustrious name of VIM. Mckinley for
the next President of the United
States.
