Immediately following the roll call
of delegates the following resolutions
were introduced and unanimously
adopted:
We, the Republicans of Garrett
county in county convention assem-
bled, reaffirm the principle in which
the Republican party had its birth,
and the principles enunciated in the
National Republican platform of 1896,
and that the representative of the
people have full power over trrritory
belonging to the United States, in har-
mony with, and subject to, the fund
amental safe guards of our free insti-
tutions for liberty, justice, and per-
sonal rights. We sustain the Presi-
dent of the United States and Con-
gress in exercising this power with
due regard for the safety and welfare
of the Union, and with the most just,
generous, humane and fraternal con-
sideration for those over whom the
authority of the Nation is extended.
We advocate for them free schools,
full security for life, liberty and pros
perity, and most liberal measures for
the development of their agriculture
and industry, and the largest degree
of local self-rule.
Be 1t reSolUed, That we fully indorse
the wise and patriotic administration
of Honorable William Mckinley, the
President of the United States;
Be ut further reSolUed, That we full
ly indorse the course of our able men
ber of Congress, Honorable George A.
Pearre, especially in his splendid work
for the old soldier, and his able and
eloquent fight in opposition to the un-
American theory of Civil Service and
for his answering loyalty and atti-
tude to the National Administration
on every public question which has
been before Congress of which he is a
member, and pledge him our support
in the Congressional Convention for
his denomination to Congress, and if
renominated, we hereby pledge him
an increased majority in Garrett
county.
and be it further reS0Ioed, The
course of our Senator and members of
the House of Delegates be commended
in their work for the best interest of
the whole people of our county, and
especially their endeavors to pre-
vent vicious legislation attempted by
the Democratic majority, and for
their work for the schools of this
county.
Be ii further reS0lUed, That we de-
nounce the action and position of the
Democratic party in the passage and
enactment of law to legislate out of
Office the School Board and it's Secre-
tary, elected by the people of Garrett
county, as being a vicious, iniquitous,
and inimical measure. We believe
that the voice of the people should be
the supreme law of the land. We de-
nounce the action and attitude of the
Democratic party in their efforts to
thwart, battle and frustrate the will
ofthe people of our county, as express
ed at the ballot box in this matter
and we view their position as being
in contravention and direct violation
of all principles of Republican insti-
