We, the Republicans Of Marshall
county, in convention assembled, dc
hereby resolve:
:. That we most heartily endorse
the nominations Of William McKin-
ley and Garret A. Hobart, as the
standard bearers Of the Republican
party in the present campaign.
?. That we unequiyocally ) endorse
the platform adopted by the nation.
al Republican convention at St.
Louis, and particularly those por-
tions wherein our representatives in
that convention committed the Re-
publican party to the. advocacy OF
an adequate protective tariff and
pledged it's opposition to every meas
ure calculated. to debase our currency
or impair the credit of5our country.
8. That we denounce most en-
phatically the gross attempts OF the
Populist party, and of the Demo-
cratic party under it's present leader
ship, to array class against class,
section against section, one interest
against another, and to stir up strife
and discord among the people OF our
land, solely that the attainment Of
their own selfish ends may result.
4. That we point'with pride to the
general prosperity and contentment
that attended the thirty years OF Re
publican rule in the nation; and
that we believe that in the election of
Mckinley and Hobart lies our. only
hope OF an early restoration to that
prosperity which so recently was
ours and which was blighted by the
temporary triumph Of the party OF
free trade and free silver.
5. That we place the seal Of our
approval upon the record of Hon.
Frank NJ: Eddy during the year and
q half that he has represented this
district in Congress, and, recognizing
in him a faithful and efficient repre-
sentative, true to his party and zeal
GUS in his efforts to promote the best
interests OF his constituency, we
pledge him our votes and our earnest
support for reelection.
6. That we heartily endorse the
wise, economical and efficient admin
istration of our state affairs by our
present state officials.
Z. That we favor the taxation of
unused railroad lands in accordance
with the provisions of the Anderson
bill now before the people.
8. That we favor the adoption of
the amendments to the state constitu-
ton, as proposed by our last legisla-
ture, as follows: Establishing board
Of pardons; Prohibiting the taking,
destroying or damaging of private
property for public use, without just
compensation therefor first paid or Sc
cured; Providing that the permanent
school and university fund of this
state may be invested in the purchase
of bonds of any county, school dis
trict, city, town or village of this
state; Authorizing the taxation of the
property of sleeping, drawing room,
and parlor car and other companies
and owners; and that we also favor
the holding of a constitutional con.
vention to revise the state constitution
8. That it is our earnest belief that
the perpetuity of republican institu-
tions, the restoration of prosperity tc
the American people and the mainte-
nance of our national credit and hon.
or at home and abroad, demand the
election in November, 1896, of the
Republican national ticket, and the
overwhelming defeat Of the ticketrep.
resenting the cohorts Of socialism, re.
pudiation and anarchy.
It is to the great. good sense Of the
American voters. and not to their pas
sions, that we appeal for support in
the present crisis, and, believing as
we do in the righteousness Of oul
cause, we have no doubt Of our ulti
mate triumph.
