The committee on resolutions reported
the following which were unanimously
adopted and the convention adjourned.
| Resolved. That we reaffirm our loyalty to
the cardinal principles of the republican party
as enunciated in the platform of the national
convention at st. Louis in 1896, especially
| the doctrine of protection and sound money,
and that our confidence is mistaken that
| this party, which represents the mind and
heart and conscience of the American people
will wisely settle the tremendous questions of
| American policy as they confront us.
We believe the United States should build
and control the Nicaragua canal.
| We heartily endorse the administration of
President Mckinley. Especially do we COM
mend his wise. conservative, patient and
statesmanlike management of our relations
| with Spain, whereby he demonstrated his
| purpose to exhaust the resources of diplo-
macy before rcsorting to war. and thereby
| challenged the admiration of thinking nen
| of all parties and won the respect and conf.
dence Of the civilized world.
We commend the wisdom of the state ad-
ministration In providing for full regiment
| Of volunteers, thus anticipating the second
| call for troops and preserving the unity and
individuality of Vermont soldiers in the war.
| We also approve the action of the legislature
| in voting the state pay to those Of our citi-
zens who do our work and maintain our
| honor In this contest at the hazard of their
| lives.
We congratulate the state OF Vermont
upon the record her sons have already made
| In the war; upon land and sea, and 1t Is
matter OF especial pride to us that, without
a foot OF seacoast, Vermont has produced
| the most famous naval commander in the
world today. We are opposed to the resur-
render to the Spanish misrule of any terri
| tory which the valor Of one army and navy
has rescued, or may hereafter rescue,
from the hands Of the enemy, and we have
the abiding confidence that republican
president and congress will so shape the
future of such territory as best to promote
| the welfare of it's inhabitants and the true
| glory of our country
We welcome the increasing signs OF SYM
pathy and unity between North and South
and trust that in this blaze of war all bar
riers between us may be burned away We
are not unmindful. either, of the hand that Is
| stretched to us across the sea, and in Eng
lands sympathy with us at this time we see
| fresh proof that "blood Is thicker than
water" and feel increased confidence that in
the Anglo-Saxon race rests the cause of hui
| man liberty throughout the world.
For the first time In a generation the re-
nation at war. Many of our citizens have
become soldiers. They are beyond our bor-
ders, perhaps on foreign soil. They are
fighting for the nations honor as their
fathers fought for the nations life. 1t is
therefore fitting that we should proclaim our
faith and purpose. We are at war with
Spain, not for revenge, not for conquest, not
for glory, not for the love of war. We are at
war WITH SPAN TOT the love OF our IellOWmcn,
for the sake of humanity, in the holy cause
of liberty. We are at war with Spain be-
cause we have heard the poor that cry, and
have remembered them that are in bonds,
and are bound with them. Therefore the
war must 60 on until the war, until the in.
fanny Of medieval methods of government In
the dawn of the twentieth century and at
the very doors of this republic shall have for
ever passed away, and until a permanent and
honorable peace Is secured. To that end we
pledge our loyal support to the president of
the United States.
The candidates for state Offices nominated
here today we commend to the confidence
and suffrages of the people Of Vermont, and
pledge to them our cheerful and loyal sup
port,
