By the Republicans of Stearns county
In convention assembled:
Resolved, That we congratulate the
people OF our county, state and nation
| bn uo 1xy /
affairs, in all branches of industry
and business, as the results of but a
| little more than one year of Repub-
lican national administration. We
believe this to be merely the precursor
of still better times, until ali through
the land labor shall be fully EMPLOYED
at American wages and business con-
ditions shall feel the 1uickeing inspir-
alton of renewed confidence and a.
sound and stable financial policy.
Resolved, That as Stearns county
has already sent one company, it's full
complement under the first call for
troops, to sustain the national honor
and do battle to secure liberty for an
oppressed people, our near neighbours,
it is ready to meet any future call
which may be made under which privi-
lege shall be given it of sending more
of it's brave. and hardy sons to the
| front.
Resolved, That the honest and bust
ness-like character Of Governor David
| M. ClOugh's administration is one in
which every citizen of the state may
| justly feel a pride. 1t has brought
much credit to himself, silencing the
| criticism of calivers, and has been an
honor to the state. Stearns county
feels especially gratified at his action
in giving to Company M place in the
Thirteenth regiment of Minnesota vol
unteers.
Resolved, That we most earnestly
favor the endorsement for re. election
. of both Senator Davis and Senator
Nelson. BY their high abilities they
have given Minnesota a front place in
the United States senate, and by their
loyalty to the interest of the state and
their untiring industry in it's behalf,
have secured for Minnesota much val
liable legislation. The failure to elect
either would be a great loss to the
state.
Resolved, That in representing to
Republicans of MINES ota, as a candi-
date for the nomination Of governor,
the name of Judge l.. w. Collins, of
this city, we offer one who embodies
in himself to higv degree the qualities
of fitness and tine elements of success.
To an honorable military record he
/ adds one Of unusual merit and distinc-
ton in civil affairs. For the past
thirty years he has been almost con-
stantly in the public service, with in
! creasing responsibilities and honors,
and his popularity with the people has
been attested by the fact that in prac-
tically every election in which he has
been candidate he has been elected
by a majority greater than that
given any other name on the
ticket. He has made no personal cam
vass for this nomination and has made
no personal solicitations for support,
tical illustration of that highest ideal
the man and not the man tn Of
fee. He has created no personal an
tagonism and is the heir to no political
animosities. The Republican party of
MINES ota would find his name at the
head of it's ticket in the coming cam
paign an assurance of a triumphant
victory.
