The committee on permanent
organization reported recon-
mending that the temporary
organization be made permanent,
which was unanimously adopted.
The report of the com mittee on
resolutions presented the follow
ing report which was also unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, the present republican admin stration
has shown by tts wisdom that it is fully able to
meet the national questions that are constantly
arising. the Philippine question, the Cuban
question the Chinese question, and the financial
question; and has shown that 1t proposes to
leave the old flag where II has been placed by
the heroes of recent days; that 1t is not Indifferent
to the interests of our citizens, ministers and
missionaries in China, that 1t is carrying
out its promise In regard to the Cubans; tnat it
does not propose to compromise with the enemies
of good government on the financial question;
and
Whereas the county has been in the hands of
these who have had the interests of the county
and party at heart and have rendered faithful
service, thereby serving as credit to the party:
Resolved First that pledge hearty
support to President Mckinley and Gov. Roose
welt, that we urge all republicans to sustain the
men who will hold our recently acquired pos
sessions in trust and leave the flag there a
standing warning to the nations who would
trample on the liberties of any people; who have
the right ring in their financial policy.
