!, The report was adopted.
, The committee on resolutions pre-
sented the following report which
was adopted by adding the wards
"sound money" at the end of the first
: resolution:
Resolved, That this convention fully
and earnestly endorse the principles
OF the platform adopted at the Repub-
lican national convention at ST. Louis,
and pledge our earnest efforts in be-
half of protection and reciprocity,
and sound money.
ReSOlUed, That we urge upon our
United States senators and members
of congress to use their best endeavOrS
to secure an international agreement
} on the coinage question.
l.
furious theories and practices of the
. present Democratic administration
and the wilder falacies of Populist
theorists as tending to the ruin of our
industries and business interests.
RESOLVED, That we pledge ourselves
to enthusiastic efforts for the election
of the standard bearers of our party,
J VIM. Mckinley and Garrett Hobart.
Resolved, That in our present con-
gresham, the Hon. j. T. McCleary,
we recognize most faithful and eff
fective worker for the cause of Re-
, publicanism and pledge our united
efforts to retain him in the halls of
congress, believing that the best in
terests OF the party and the country
require the valuable services which
he has always shown himself ready to
give.

other resolution in favor of sound
money, and thought that the conven-
tion should come out squarely on the
question, as the first convention had

and d vote was taken, but the chair
could not determine which side won.
A standing vote showed that the
substitute was defeated by large
majority.
A motion was made by L. M. LANCE,
