The following report of the com.
mittee on resolutions was then re.
ceiyed aud adopted.
First The republicans of Prowers
county, Colorado, in convention assem-
bled reatiirm our devotion 10 the pTinci-
pies OF that party announced in the ma
tionai platform OF 1881. Two years ago
it was predicten from one end df the land
10 the other in democratic platforms ard
speeches, that disasters hitherto nnheard
Of would follow republican success and
adherence 10 the political principals OF
the republican party. Confident in the
right that party fought the great battle
of 1886, ard imposed its principles and
policies upon the country, which was
then in a state OF business collapse
through democratic mIsrule. Its splen-
did ability TO see the right, and do the
right at the right time and in the right
way, bas again been demonstrated by
the event, while all the III omened pre-
dietions made by the democratic party
as sure TO follow republican success have
one by one been crueiied on the cross OF
time.
