The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported the following:
RESOLUTIONS:
The nomination by the Populist national
convention of the Democratic candidate for
president, leaves practically but two great par
ties to make the contest this year for political
supremacy The one is the Democratic party
with its long record of laundering incompe-
tency and failure and the other is the Republi-
can party with its long record of splendid
ability and success The Democratic party has
never shown itself capable of wisely admins
tering the affairs of this nation. The Republic
can party has demonstrated the wisdom of its
principles and the patriotism and strength of
its leaders in war and in peace. We, therefore,
the Republicans of Allen county, in conven-
ton assembled, declare our pride in the past
achievements of our party and our faith in its
future triumphs. We believe that the doctrines
it maintains are essential to the happiness and
prosperity of our country, and therefore we en-
dorse the declaration of principles formulated
by the Republican national convention at St.
Louis, and enthusiastically ratify the nOmina-
ton of that gallant soldier that wise statesman
and that honest man, William Mckinley.
We congratulate the people of Kansas upon
the defeat of Populism and the return to power
in this commonwealth of the Republican party.
The honest and economical administration of
the business of the state whereby thousands of
dollars have been saved out of appropriations
already made and turned back into the treas
ury, the dignity and sobriety with which all
the state officers have conducted themselves,
and the freedom from scandal of any kind,
mark a contrast with the preceding administra-
ton as striking as It is gratifying, and again
demonstrate the fitness of the Republican party
for the administration of the affairs of this great
state
We are proud of the splendid record that has
been made by each of our county officers. amply
making good the claims we made for them to
the people OF the county, and we pledge our
hearty support to the nominees of this eonven-
ton, believing that they will prove worthy sue
cessors to the good and true men that have pre-
ceded them, and so administer the affairs OF
their respective offices as to amply justify the
confidence of their party and of all the people.
