which was adopted:
THE republican party of the city of
Walkerville, in convention assembled,
hereby affirms it's allegiance and devo-
ton TO the principles of the republican
party, state and national. We arraign
the national democratic party under
the leadership of Grover Cleveland as
the foe of silver and every material in
terest of the West. We condemn the
national democratic party for it's ac-
tion for the repeal of the purchase of
the Sherman law without any corre-
spondingly favorable legislation in fa-
vor of silver as one of the money met
ais of the country. We point with
pride to the republican delegation from
Montana in the congress of the United
States and the gallant fight which
they have waged in favor of the
unlimited free coinage of silver. We
believe that the republicans of the
city of Walkerville have just reason
to feel proud of their management of
municipal affairs since the incorpora-
ton of the city. Under the present re-
publican administration the city of
Walkerville has been provided with a
city hall and quarters for the fire de-
partment without any burdens or in
crease in municipal taxation. We be-
lieve that the record of the present adj
ministration is such as to inspire the
confidence of the people in the patriot
iism and fidelity of the party and such
as to entitle IL to the Endorsement of
the people in the coming election
Mr.. wellington, nominee for mayor,
was called on for a speech, and in re-
Spouse said that If elected he would
give his best efforts to advance the
city of WallServille and the interests of
its citizens. Mr. Dent and some of the
other nominees were also called on for
speeches and responded briefly. A res
olution was adopted pledging the party
to do all in its power to elect the NOM
inees, after which the convention ad-
journed.
The opposition to the republican tick
ct in VAUDEVILLE will be a citizens
