! Alter the convention had been pernla-
nently organized by the election OF E. C.
Cooper as chairman. the committee on
rules reported, recommending that NOM
inations be made first for supreme
judge. then congressman, then governor
and the remainder OF the ticket. This
was agreed to promptly.
. Then came the only incident out of
the ordinary in the entire convention.
Fargo had failed to supply any music or
single decoration for the opera house
in which the convention was held. Not
even an American flag or a suggestion
OF bunting was to be seen within the
hall. Senator McGillivray. of Stark
county, first called attention to the fact
and urged that a flag be secured. Mr..
kneeshaw, of Pembina. moved the ap-
pointment OF a committee of one to
either borrow or buy flag. and Chair
man Cooper promptly appointed him to
hunt up a flag. He soon appeared with
a beautiful silk version OF Old Glory,
the property OF the Fargo Woman's Re-
lief Corps.
THE RESOLUTIONS. -
Resolved, That in the interests Of
humanity and more progressive and en-
lightened civilization, we most earnestly
advocate closer relations and a better
understanding between the English
speaking people OF the earth wherever
dispersed. In the future, as in the past,
| we welcome to our shores and to our
hospitality all liberty-loving individuals
| from every cline, and offer to each Of
them full share OF the great blessings
that belong to and are part Of the free
| institutions under our republican form
OF government.
'We fully indorse the action of con-
| gress and the executive i'll the annexa-
ton of Hawaii.
I'VE favor the immediate completion
of the Nicaraguan canal under govern
ment supervision and control
| I'VE favor the construction and main
tenance of navy that shall be second
| to the great blessings that belong to and
are part of the free institutions under
our republican form OF government
'We condemn the civilized and dark
age policy of Spain in its barbarous
treatment OF the inhabitants OF Cuba,
Porto Rico, the Philippines and those
islands yet remaining under Spanish
control. To those of our patriotic
citizens who have pledged their lives
in behalf OF these oppressed people, we
offer our tenderest devotion and our
united support In the marvellous
victories on sea and land our nation has
achieved in the past three months, we
recognize the hand of Providence, and
accept them as assurances OF the success
of our nation in the future We sincerely
believe that Cuba must and of right
! ought to be free and independent.
Spanish dominion over Porto Rico and
the Philippines must cease forever, and
we favor such wise policy as may
be deemed necessary by the administra-
ton for the future government of these
islands.
We favor the construction and main
tenance of navy that shall be second
to none in any sea, and urge the adop-
ton by several states of such measures
las will promote the national guard so
that it will be equal to any military
emergency that may arise.
Money being an instrument of inter-
national concern, we are unalterably op-
posed to the independent free coinage
of silver. The currency OF the American
people is now, and should continue to
be. the best in the world. and the parity
of all forms of money should be main
tanned by wise and conservative law.
We favor the use of both gold and silver
as the standard OF all commercial coun-
tries and indorse the efforts OF the Re-
publican national administration. to pro-
mote the policy OF bimetallislm under
agreement with the civilized nations OF
the world.
