PLATFORM AND RESOLUTIONS.
Chairman Anderson read the report
of the Committee on Platform and Res
olutions, as follows:
The Republicans of the county of Sacra-
mento in convention assembled, declare:
THAT our adherence and devotion TO
| the principles enunciated in the national
Republican platform of 1886 are hereby re-
newed.
1.-The grand and glorious administra-
ton of President William Mckinley and
his conduct of the affairs of the nation IN
the critical and trying times. marx an
epoch in the worlds history for brilliancy
and craftsmanship never before sur
passed.
The firm deliberate and master mind
which directed the conduct of the war
with Spain has endeared President Me
Kinley to the hearts Of the American
people.
ties have been prosecuted by our willing
soldiers and sailors who were not bought
by bountes nor enforced by drafts
!
and in a manner to silence forever the
elements of sectionalism, and has MADE
US world power of the first magnitude
The American flag has been raised
where a Democratic Administration pull
ed it down. Our nation is for expansion
when il becomes necessary in the trend
of events to promote the American idea
and to foster and protect American in
stitutions and American commerce.
3.-We are proud of the history OF TINS
grand old party. and feel that nothing
of absolute greatness would be left If it
were possible 10 strike out from history
its great achievements.
Our party has always stood for local,
State and national development and prog
ress, free from demagogism, passion or
At has been demonstrated by recent
events that the Nicaragua, Canal IS ma
tional necessity and should be built own
ed and conducted by Americans.
SIT is self evident that the idea of
principle does not actuate any of the pc,
litical parties arrayed against us: and
that only the greed for official recogni-
ton prompts their action. This sentiment
is made manifest by the fusions and all,
national conventions.
6.-We are opposed to any dogmatic leg
islation, or the acts of any commission
whereby the standard of wages for over
20,0e0 railroad laborers may be reduced
and are in favor, of maintaining a broad
and liberal standard for laborers' wages
in all departments of industry.
I've pledge our candidates for the
Assembly TO protect our State school
I
o. the book rings who seek its destruc-
ton to the injury of the people Of this
State.
S-The preservation of navigable rivers
is all important and we pledge our can
didates for the Assembly TO use all hon
ton TO improve the condition of our great
natural waterways
9-We indorse the course of Senator
George c. Perkins in the United States
Senate particularly his efforts in the mat
ter of Hawaiian annexation.
10.-We pledge our candidates for the
Assembly 10 use their best endeavors to-
ward the reform of our State institutions,
which have been made so thoroughly par
, tisan through the baleful influence of
the present Democratic State Admins ira
ton.
live pledge our candidates for the
Assembly and Supervisors to use all hon
orahle means TO secure proper legislation
looking toward permanent good road i'm
provement
12-The closing OF the State Printing
Office hv the arbitrary veto of Governor
James II. Rudd was a public calamity
brought upon us by the anger of an ex-
ecutive who could not control. and. there
fore determined to destroy. the present
State Printer and the Office he has dur
. was evidently sought by this veto to de-
stroy the ability of the State to continue
the manufacture and publication of its
own school books and school stationery.
The results have been disastrous 10 the
common schools and the children attend
ing them. as well as to the hundreds of
. Z,
and the business interests. not alone of
Sacramento County but the State
13.-We pledge our candidates for AS
sembly and Supervisors to use all honor
able means TO secure proper legislation
looking toward permanent good road i'm
provement
We condemn Governor Budd for his
action and denounce the late Sacramento
County Democratic Convention and its
candidates who Endorsed Governor Budd' s
action in closing the State Printing Of
flee as unworthy Of this city and county:
enemies of the common school, and of the
system of printing school books by the
State.
The voters of Sacramento should. and
we firmly believe will condemn by an
overwhelming vote this malicious assault
upon the common school system of Cali
fornia made at the behest OF the Eastern
school book monopoly that is trying to
hasten itself once more upon the purses
or California parents. We invite ALL with
out distinction OF party, who believe that
the public schools are the safeguard of
the nation, to unite with us this year at
least in working for those schools and
Rudd and the Sacramento Democra tic
Convention, seek to injure and destroy
them.
