THE RESOLUTIONS.
| The republicans of the city of Butte.
IN convention assembled, view with par.
donable pride the past history of the ~
publican party, and feel assured that
such past history is a guaranty of its
future actions.
We begin the twentieth century With n
republican national administration. at
whose head are the two great repre-
sentative American citizens. William
Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt.
We arraign the democratic party of
the city of Butte for it's utter misman-
agement and incompetency in the affairs
of municipal government, as shown by
their utter disregard for public health.
furnishing to us nothing but dirty
| streets.
For their contempt for public morals,
as shown by the open and notorious VIC,
lations of law in the citySof Butte.
For their lack of proper apprecia-
ton of the advance movement of the
twentieth century in public morals and
good government. as shown by their in
competent and inefficient police regula-
tiOns in the city of Butte.
For their inefficient police officers, who
have become but the mere political ma
chine of the present administration, as
shown by their open and fragrant advo-
cacy of politics rather than the atter-
ton to public duty.
For their failure to provide suitable
ordinances to improve the condition OF
the community. thus failing to insure a
condition of advantage to which every
citizen is entitled.
