We take from the Yuma Republican
the following resolutions adt pted by the
republican county convention of Phillips
county.
To the republican county convention
of Phillips county, Colo.
We, your committee appointed TO pre-.
pare resolutions for the consideration of
this convention would respectfully re-
port tne iOllOWiHE.
Whereas, from time immemorlal it has
been the custom when political parties
have placed before the public list OF
candidates and asked for the suffrage OF
the people, to declare the principles whch
actuate them and upon which their oil
cial acts will, il elected, be governed
Therefore be 1t resolved by the ropub
lican party Of Phillips county, Colorado
IN convention assembled, that ". fully
endorse the administration Of President
Mckinley as wise and conservative, and
point with pride TO the fulfilled promises
and pledges of the party made in its
platform and otherwise in the last pres.
idential campaign.
Resolved. that we hail with JOY the re.
turn OF confidence and prosperity as evi
denced by the stimulation OF all our in
dustries and increase in commercial bus
mess. The opening aud operation Of
oi thousands OF American workmen al
remunrraiive wages, thereby crenting II
better market for our vastly increased
crops over those OF preceding years.
Resolved, further, that while We be.
lleye prosperity IL general throughout
the country, yet the conditions of Phil
lips county are such that they demant
that the public officers practice the strict
est economy in the transactions of tb,
business OF their various offices. and tina
| ,hoy share in the general depression q
wages. That thereby the burden Of tn,
taxpayer may he made us light AS posi-
| BILE. While our state legislature has 10
/ galized certain fees aud sallriea as com
penshtion for the various offices, these II
our judgment are excessive when apple,
10 counties situated as ours is. Tw'
years ago tho republican party of Phillip
county. recognizing this, through its rep
resentatives in convention assemble
pledged It's candidates TO the perform
ance Of the duties 81 the respective Of
fees without deputies. This has proye'
u saving to the comfy in tho past tw'
years OF over iour thousand dollars. Ye
we realize that u further retreDchmen
is necessary. To this end, therefore, ",
would recommend that the county com
missioners he requested 10 reduce still
further the salaries Of the various offices
and that It may become binding we de
mnnd thnt enth oi our candidates be 10
