REPUBLICAN RESOLUTIONS.

At the approach of this city campaign,
the f%orerunner of those political transac-
tions of wider scope which will, in this
closing year of the present century. en-
gage the earnest and solicitous consldera-
ton of all good citizens, we congratulate
the republicans of Silver Bow county
and of Montana, upon the harmony ana
unity of purpose prevailing amongst
them, and predict that with the united
~strength-their solid phalanX lined up
undiminished by a single schism of fac
ton, a glorious victory will be achieved
at the polls.
The republican party of Butte City in
convention assembled, does enthusiastic
cally declare it's allegiance to the wise and
patriotic administration of William Nc
Kinlep. We do most heartily endorse the
idea of expansion and declare that 1T is
our belief that the islands of the sea
brought under our sovereignty can be
wisely governed by this, the greatest and
best government on earth. That the best
interests of our possessions will be SUBJ
served by carrying them our benign laws,
our scheme of public education, and our
system of enlightened liberty. That by
retaining the territory Wrested from tyr
annical Spain in the successful prosecu-
ton Of a war waged in the interest of HUI
man rights, we not only assist these here
tofore unenlightened peoples, but open up
markets, encourage commerce, n ex-
tend our trade and thus aid the western
states in the enjoyment of that great
prosperity brought back to the nation by
the present wise and able republican ad-
ministration; and hat we have unbound
ed confidence and trust that the republic
can party can successfully formulate Il
carry out such plan of government for
our ney possessions that yill be a lasting
benefit to the inhabitants thereof.
Realizing that whenever there is any

gurated and carried to effect in this
country, and for this country, the re-
publican party must do it. We conf
IDENTIFY proclaim that the republican
party of the nation will more rapidly
advance the interests Of silver than the
discordant and divided cohorts who,
under various banners, now pretend to
advocate the free coinage of silver in
the west. gold standard in the east,
and all. with one object in view-to de-
ceive the people, achieve Office and Of
fetal spoils.
Confident hat the good name of the
state will best be served by the an
n~ouncement to the state and nation that
the good conscience of Butte has one
more redeemed the city from democratic
misrule, we urge upon all good citizens
who believe in the enforcement of law
that it is their duty to rise in their nigh
and proclaim their liberty by voting thu
republican ticket, ana we pledge th(
nominees of this convention to act wher
elected. for the best interest of all the PEG
pie. and to provide a progressive and sen
sible administration of municipal affairs
And that the sanitary conditions of tn
city shall be improved; and all laws AM
regulations looking to the maintenance
of the health Of our citizens be rigidly EN-
forced.
We realize that the laborer is worth,
of his hire and we note with anDroval tn

campaigns that are carried on by tn
unions of this city for a more equitabl
adjustment of their hours Of labor.
The republican party Of this city

a free ballot and a fair count. and W
denounce is unreasonable terms tn
democratic disposition to ~colonize cleo
ton districts and their constant en-
deavors to influence voters by the us
of money and gold bricks
We congratulate the people of this cit
and state that the two factions of tn
democratic party whose political histor
and conduct, whether acting Jointly @
seVerally, has been a stain and reproac
upon the fair name and fame of Nor
tana, have at last turned states eyidene
against one another. and that their col

independent manhood and integrity I
this commonwealth is now exposed h,
