We the committee on resolutions beg
leaye to submit the following report
| The republicans Of Custer county in
convention assembled do hereby renew
their allegiance to the policies and
principles of the grand old republican
party.
We heartily indorse the administra-
tion Of VIM. Mckinley, which has been
confronted by serious and unexpected
problems, many of which could not
haye been anticipated, and all If which
have been, or are in the process ofbeing
solved in a manner satisfactory to the
hearts and minds of all true Americans
| We point with just pride to the fact
that all the promises made by the rspu-
blican party four years ago have been
fulfilled, and that in place of the unrest
and enforced idleness Of millions of peo-
pie at that period we are now enjoying
a period of unparalleled prosperity;
labor Of all kinds employed at wages
hitherto unknown, peace, prosperity
and contentment reigning from the
humblest hamlet to the teeming city.
! We are proud of the exalted patriot
ism and splendid heroism ofthe soldiers
and sailors Of our country in the late
war which was commenced and carried
on by liberty loving people in the in.
terests of humanity, Christianity and
human civilization. These patriots thus
proved themselves worthy successors Of
the veterans of the civil war.
We believe n and favor the time hon.
ored expansion policy of our nation and
confidently intrust the solution of all
questions that may arise to the wisdom
of our national administration.
We favor the amendment of the ma
tional constitution, if same shall be
found necessary, to allow the enactment
of such laws as will regulate all those
trusts and monopolies that endanger the
welfare Of our people, and to the enact
ment Of such laws we pledge our best
endeavors.
We heartily endorse the faithful SER
vices of our representatives in congress,
Robert ]. Gamble and Charles H. Burke,
and point with pride to the splendid
records each has made for himself and
it is with deepest regret that we admit
of being responsible for the only man
in the U. s. congress who is heartily
ashamed OF his country, and who
through his reasonable utterance, both
in our state, and on the floor of the
United States senate has placed us in
the most unenyiabke position.
We declare it as a matter of para
mount importance to the Black Hills

resentaye in the National Congress from
this section, one acquainted with our
