The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-07-04

Tuesday of this week was field
day for the Republicans of Garrett
county. Representatives of that party
were in Oakland in force and nomi-
mated probably the strongest ticket
ever placed before the citizens of Gar
rett county for their suffrage. The
work of the convention did not, how
ever, terminate with the nomination
of the several candidates, as a new
State Central Committee was elected
and also representatives to attend the
State Convention to be held in Balti-
more on August End.
Every district in the county was
represented by delegations composed
of five persons, and the manner in
which they disposed of their duties
and transacted the business which
brought them to Oakland has been
very favorably commented upon by
number of people. The delegations
from the several districts were as fol-

The Republicans of Garrett county,
in convention assembled, do reaffirm
our allegiance, loyalty and devotion
to the party of patriotism, progress,
protection, sound money and equal
rights to all citizens of this favored
land; we stand by the party, which
in the face of all opposition, has stood
by the union and the flag and has
brought this nation to the forefront
of commercial and industrial pro-
gress, and has elevated it to an hon
ored position among the first nations
of the earth.
We endorse the wise and patriotic
course of President Mckinley and his
advisors in dealing with the intricate
and complex questions that have con-
fronted them in the discharge of their
official duties.
Lewis f. McComas, United States
Senator, and Hon. George A. Pearre,
our representative in Congress, in the
course pursued by them, and the po-
sitions taken on all great public ques-
tions, and for their fidelity and devo-
ton to the best interest of the coun-
try at large, and especially of our own
State people.
We endorse the course pursued by
the members of the last Legislature
from this county and especially their
efforts at the extra session to preserve
the franchise to some of our worthy
but unfortunate citizens, and their
efforts to prevent the enactment of
vicious legislation.
We desire to commend the faithful
discharge by our county officials of
their duties and especially those hav-
ing charge of our finances. Liberal
