We your committee on resolutions
| beg leave to report as follows:
The republican party Of Ravalli
county in convention assembled here
by resolve. ..*=-
Frst-That we renew our allie
glance to the principles Of Protection,
Bimetallism and Reciprocity.
Sccond-That we hereby endorse
the present administration in it's
conduct Of the war with Spain: that
we recognize in William Mckinley a
brave, patriotic American citizen,
who can be safely trusted to guide
the ship Of state through the storms
OF war as well as through the equally
turbulent waters OF peace.
Third-That with hearts overflow
ing with gratitude we recognize the
magnificent heroism Of our soldiers
and sailors, officers and men, and
equally those who Trough not called
on to meet the enemy showed theil
willingness by voluntarily enlistinG
to defend this country as those who
actually participated in host5lities
That we believe in the wisdom, intel
: ]igcnce and patriotism of the volun
teer array Of the United States, ant
that the late war with Spain has
demonstrated the necessity Of en-
!" trusting aud granting to each regi
: mcnt the power Of electing its OWL
conlssary under such rules and regu
I lations as congress may devise.
l Fourth--That we believe in the
? free coinage Of both gold and silver
at the ratio of 6 to /, equally now a:
: we did prior to the declaration of tht
St. Louie conventions; but we believe
; in working for that great boot
| through the medium Of and Withi1
the republican party. We believe
[ this, recognizing as we do the fac
: that the democratic party never &C
' complished a positive reform; tha
+ said party is opposed to nationa
. progress and development, is, in fact
, a party OF negation: recognizing fur
). ther, its inability in the first plac
and it's unwillingness in the second
as demonstrated by it's acts, to gran
free coinage or anything for whic
i republicans contend.
q Fifth-We believe In the unfurl
It ing of our flag to the winds of ever
"a cline and extending our commerc
l. wherever it floats, that America
l., labor may be always protitably en-
Il ployed: We believe in dccpenin
}. and strengthening our channels {
l. philanthropy, and ever guarding til
5. liberties Of the people with the sagat
J. ity and forethought Of Hn Abraham
e Lincoln.
is Sixth We congratule the state {
large and RayalIi county in partc,
a lar upon the prosperity enjoye
D. under the bcncticent doctrine
4 Protection, and believe it to be I'll
s. duty of every clector who has bee
u identified with the republican part
lg as well as Of every other patriot
es citizen, to uphold the hands Of tt
Id administration under which we ha'
le SO prospered.
r. 0Seyenth-W condemn the dem
ot cratic party Of the nation for its pc
~ icy of opposition during the time
ae actual hOstilitics with Il foreiS
as country, and particularly for its a
1e tempt to cripple the administratit
1T in it's vigorous conduct Of the war
opposing the war revenue bill.
