Your Committee on Resolutions
beg leave to submit for adoption by
this mass meeting the following
resolutions, towit:
Resolved, lst, That we endorse
the principles of the Republican
party declared by the National Re-
publican convention held IN st.
Louis IN June, 1896.
Resolved, I'd, That it is an undis-
puted fact that during the Harrison
administration, from 1889 to 1892,
this country enjoyed peace and
prosperity, but that upon the in
coming of the Democratic admin
istration of President Cleveland a
blight to the business and prosper
ity of the whole country came upon
us like u simeon, which lasted dur
ing the whole of the Democratic
administration. That upon the sue
cess of the Republican party in
1896 and the election of Republi-
can President and Congress, IA re-
vival of business and confidence
was restored, and the administra-
tion of President Mckinley has met
the expectations of his supporters
in the campaign of 1896, and we do
now approve of the conservative
and patriotic present administra-
tion of our national affairs, both in
its peaceful and its war measures
Resolved, Sd, That we do com
mend and approve of the admins
tration of our Gov. w. o. Bradley,
but especially do we approve of his
effort to defeat the vicious legisla-
tion of our Democratic General
Assembly.
Resolved, 4th, That we condemn
and denounce the extreme partizan
legislation enacted by the late Dem
ocratic Legislature in restricting
Congressional and Judicial dis
tricts, the revolutionary election
bill known as the "Goebel bill" and
of the legislation respecting the
management of the Penitentiary
and charitable institutions of the
State.
Resolved, 9th, That We condemn
as unpatriotic and reasonable the
Democratic members of Congress
who forced the Republican admin
istration into a war with Spain and
then refused and voted against fur
nishing money and means to sue
cessfully carry on the war.
Resolved, 9th, That it is source
of great pride and qualification to
us to know that our army and navy
have achieved victories in the past
three months over our enemies,
which has added glory and renown
to our people and nation.
Resolved, 7th, That our represen-
tative in Congress, Hon. Saml. j.
Pugh, has faithfully represented
the Ninth Congressional district
and deserves an Endorsement and
reelection. That the delegates ap-
