Resolutions.
We the return delegates of the Re-
publican party of Butler county in con-
yention assembled, make the following
declaration:
1st. We renew our allegiance to the
principles of the Republican party as
set out in the platform of the last
National Republican Convention, and
congratulate the people of the country
upon the improved condition OF our IN
dustrial affairs, as evidenced by the gen
eral employment of our whole people
and the increase in the compensation OF
our wage earners, as we note from
time to time the advance in wages vol
UNFAIRLY given by 80 many OF our man
ufacturers to the wage earners IN their
employ, which is the result of the pol
icy of the Republican party, and pledge
ourselves to support and maintain the
same.
I'd. We heartily endorse the patriot
ic and American administration OF Will
liam Mckinley, that has so largely
contributed to the gradual return OF
prosperity to the whole country, which
Is giving employment to the thousands
of unemployed that were deprived OF
employment by the policy OF the last
Democratic administration, and believe
that another term for our patriotic and
real American President, William Nc
Kinley. untrammeled by the enormous
cares and responsibilities imposed by
a foreign war, would bring prosperity
to our entire country, and full reali-
zation of the benefits of the policy Of
the Republican party.
3D.. We congratulate the people of
our country upon the successful termi-
nation of our war with Spain, have full
confidence in the sagacity, prudence
and patriotism of William Mckinley
and his advisors, and under their guild
ance believe the oppressed and down
trodden people of our new possessions
will in due time be placed in position
to realize that liberty and self govern
ment they 80 long desired and sacrificed
80 much to obtain.
4th. We commend the candidates
this day nominated for the respective
offices to the consideration of all Re
publicans and ask their hearty support
at the fall elections.
w. E. Brown nominated Levi M.
Wise for County Chairman, and as no
opposition was named, he was elected
by acclamation, and the temporary secre-
taries continued as permanent in same

fidence reposed in him. Messers

ton the committee on resolutions be in
