The Committee on Resolutions presented the
following, which were adopted:
The Republicans of Hartford county, in con-
vention assembled, renew their devotion to the
principles of the Republican party. as express
ed and evidenced by its declarations and acts
in national and State affairs, and solicit the
aid and cooperation of their fellow -Repubi-
cans, and of all others throughout the State,
without regard to party utilization, rho are de-
sirous of putting those principles into practice
and of maintaining in this State the good work
which has been accomplished during the past
four years.
We view with satisfaction the wise, able and
statesmanIike administration of President Nc
Kinley, and are especially proud of what has
been accomplished IN the administration of our
State affairs under the mans gemeut of Gov
eTnOr Lowndcs and his able assistants. Comp
trOiler G0ld9borOugh and Treasurer Shryock.
During their terms of Office all pledges have
been IulnlIed; minority representation has been
established in the direction OF school and cleo
ton affairs, as well us in all administrative
boards. Under their leadership improved bust
ness methods and economies have been intro
duced, increased appropriations have been
made for pubic school purposes, in addition to
the large expenditures necessary for free
books, and it has been made apparent that the
rate of State taxation may be reduced in the
near futsIe, without interfering with these ad-
Gitional appropriations.
We earnestly declare for the denomination
and reelection of Governor Lowndes, Comp
troller (ioldsborough and Treasurer Shryock
and believe hat II on John V. L. Findey should
be our nouIinee for Attorney General, and we
instruct our representatives to vote according
ly:
to the pubic from the efforts Of the Republic
cans and independent Democrats in the success
OF the fusion movement of six years ago for
improved methods in the County Commission
ers' office; the public has learned the great ad-
vantage that comes of Iii nority representation,
ana The economies ara GOOD that may pc ac-
complisbed by men determined TO consult the
public good alone in administering their Office.
We earnestly urge the continuance OF minority
representation ia this office.
We commend the course oil State Senator
Stevenson A. Williams in the Legislature OF
1895, at whose instance measures were adopted
which have proven to be to the best interests
of he people of Hartford county.
In the enactment of the County Treasurer
law, wise counsels have prevailed, and the able
administration of tie same by Treasurer Allen
h.s resulted IL the prompt collection of the
taxes and Il large direct saving to the public,
besides the indirect benefit that comes of COLI
Quoting county affairs on a cash basis.
We believe that the administration of the
affairs of this county could be further imprOY
publicsrs, and we commend the nominees of
this convention to the consideration and SUI
(rages of our fellOw.citzens.
The temporary officers were made perma-
ncnt.
