Of course some of these names have
been added since the roll-call.
A difference of opinion arose in the
Convention as to whether the returns
then on the Secertary's table should be
opened and tailed, or whether he tab
ulation should be delayed until all the
returns were in and it was settled by
rising vote in favor of delay; and the
chairman and Secretaries are to meet
today at P. NJ. and tabulate and count
the returns if then all in.
The Committee on Resolutions agreed
to set of resolutions, and they were

They read as follows:
RESOLUTIONS.
We the Return Delegates of the Re-
publican party of Butler county in Con-
vention assembled declare as follows:
1st We renew our allegiance to the
principles of the Republican party as
declared by the National Convention of
1896, and congratulate the country on
the faithful services of our Senators
and Representatives in framing and
passing the American Tariff Bill known
as the ''DingleY Bill and the good re
suits flowing therefrom, in opening our
mines, mills and workshops to the
labor of our own people, instead of hav
ing the goods and wares we use man
ufactured by the labor of foreign coun-
tries; in the increased prices the farm
ers are receiving for their wool, and
sheep and other products of their farms,
and the generally improved condition
of the business interests of our country,
that are influenced by protective
tariff
End We heartily endorse the patri-
otic and business like Administration
of our President, to whose wisdom and
earnest Americanism is largely due the
improved business conditions of the
whole country, and feel certain with
time to overcome the damage done the
business interests of our country by the
last Democratic Administration, we will
then derive the full benefit of our
American Tariff policy and enter upon
an era of prosperity that will inure to
the benefit of the whole country and
our people east, west, north and south.
Dr6 No 10
tives in Congress the Importance of
passing as promptly as possible emigra-
tion bill passed by the Senate and now
in the House, restricting the emigra
tion to this country of so many of the
undesirable class of immigrants that
are taking the place and work of our
own labor people who need protection
from that class the competition of this
class of labor.
4th We congratulate the people of
the country upon having the President
and Cabinet, and Congress to support
them that we have in the present emer-
gency, brought about by the strained
relations in Spanish affairs, and feel
that our country is in safe hands, and
that the best interests of the Nation
will be taken care of whatever be the
turn our affairs with Spain may take.
9th We commend the candidates this
day nominated for the respective off
ces believing them worthy the support
of all Republicans.
