DELEGATES TO DISTRICT CONVENTION.

HARDINsBURG, KY, July 3O.-Ihe
Republican mass convention was called
to order at o'clock by Chairman A. X.
Kincheloe, OF the Rublican county COM
mittee, who stated that its purpose was
to select delegates to the Congressional
Convention to be held at Elizabethtown,
August 3. John p. Haswell was elected
chairman and Herbert M. Beard secre.
tary of the convention. On motion of
r. N. Miller the following gentlemen
were appointed as a committee on resolu-
tons: VIM. Ahl, w. s. Ball and G. ID.
Shellman who reported the following
which were adopted.
We, the Republicans Of Breckenridge
county, in mass convention assembled
adopt the following resolutions:
First,-We unqualifedly endorse the
National Administration in all its acts
and especially do we commend the wise,
conservative course pursued by the Pre-
sident in the conduct OF the Spanish war
which has been without error or mis-
take. We think the terms of peace
should demand the ceding of all the
conquered territory, as we are opposed
to hauling down the flag wherever it has
been raised.
Second,-The present State Admins
tration is entitled to the cordial sympa-
thy and support of every Republican and
good citizen in the commonwealth,
Third,-That Senator II. NJ. jolly and
Representative John p. Haswell, Jr.,
for their faithful representation of this
Senatorial and Legislative district in the
last general assembly, deserve our high
est commentator and we hereby hearth
ly indorse their actions in that body.
Fourth,-We recognize in Hon r. N
Miller, worthy citizen, gentleman OF
high moral character a lawyer OF ability,
Republican in the full sense OF the
word and born political leader, there
fore We heartily indorse him for Office Of
Attorney General OF Kentucky.
Fifth,-We denounce in unmeasured
terms the partisan and disgraceful acts Of
the last Legislature. Especially do we
condemn the Prison Bill and the Goebel
election law. The former was simply
the result of an effort 70 provide place
for hungry Democratic henchmen and to
GUST the Republican officials from posi-.
tons rigntlully theirs. The Gobel bill
strikes at the very foundation of popular
government, destroys the right of the
people to regulate local affairs and places
in the hands OF INSCRIPTIONS politicians
the power to defeat the will of the PEG.
pie at the polls. We call upon all good
citizens, irrespective OF parry affiliations
to unite with us to secure the repeal oil
such an undemocratic, obnoxious and
inlquitous measure.
