The report was adopted.
The committee on resolutions pre-
sented the following report, which was
adopted, the reference to Congressman
McCleary being received with ap-
plause:
AS representatives of the Republicans
of the Second Congressional district in
convention assembled, we deem it a
distinctive honor to again pledge our
faith in and adherence to the tenets of
the Republican party, With single
voice we most cordially endorse and
approve the administration of Presi-
| dent Mckinley, and commend his wise
and statesman like official acts in all
matters affecting the welfare of the
American people. We heartily ap-
prove his vigorous foreign policy, and
unite with the liberty loving people in
endorsing his straight forward, un-
swerving fidelity to the cause of Cuban
Libre, the establishment of a civil
government in Porto Rico, and his un-
daunted courage and firm determine
ton in demanding that the American
flag, planted in Manila by the yalor of
American sailors and soldiers shall
stand there. as here, as an emblem of
liberty to the people of the Philippines
to be respected and not assailed; and
that submission to the great humani-
tartan principles for which it stands as
an impenetrable rock against treason,
oppression and armed opposition must
and will be had, let the cost be what it
may.
The fulfllment of pledges made by
the Republican party at its convention
four years ago, are matters for con-
graduation. The splendid monetary
system vouchsafed the people by the
present congress makes the American
dollar worth one hundred cents in every
civilized country of the globe.
The credit of the United States
was never in its history, on so
firm a foundation as now, and
for this are the people indebted to the
Republican party, Much credit for the
stability of our currency and the settle
ment of this most important issue. is
due to the hard work and valuable as
sistance rendered by the present MEM
Der of congress from the second dis
trict of Minnesota and as constituents
of Congressman McCleary we take ex
ceptional pleasure in publicly express
ing our appreciation OF his efforts in
this and other matters of public i'm
portance.
The invaluable services rendered the
country by our distinguished senator's
Davis and Nelson, have placed Mime
sofa in an enviable position in the SEN
ate of the United States, the Second
district Republicans join with all Min.
nesotans in expressions of genuine ap
probation of their unfinching fidelity
to the interests of the American people.
The temporary organization was
made permanent.
