THE RESOLUTIONS.
ResoLUed, That the Republicans of
Cameron county in convention assem-
bled reaffirm their devotion to Repub-
lican principles.
RESOLVED, That we adopt the platform
of principles as laid down by the Re-
publican National Convention of 1900
and the Pennsylvania State Conven-
tion of 1901.
ResolUed, That we appreciate the

the thanks Of the district for the able
and just treatment which all matters
have received at his hands.
The American Nation, yes, the whole
civilized world, is to-day bathed in
tears. President William Mckinley
has been stricken down by the red
handed assassin Ofall the blows that
could be aimed at the heart of the
American Republic none could have
been more attrocious than the assas-
SIMS bullets that bowed the heads of
every loyal American citizen.
President Mckinley, the foremost
was also the most typical
of the nation over the
destinies of which he presided,
sprung from the humblest beginning,
by dint of constant endeavor and high
purpose, he achieved the highest am

reached an uneXampled state of pros
perity; the people are happy and con-
tented, and the flag is accorded such
respect in foreign countries as is ac-
corded the flag of the most powerful
nation in the world. In the most try

times of peace, progressive, yet con-
The country has lost one of it's very
greatest Presidents, in the death of
William Mckinley. He will take his
place beside Washington, Lincoln and
Garfield. 1t seems strange that in
Republic such as ours, where all men
have equal chances-and no man illus
trates this better in his personal career
than William Mckinley himself-that
the hand of the assassin should be
raised against such a man.
1t is also a sad coincidence that the
only three Presidents who have fallen
to duty in the United States,
have Been given 30 the country by the
party-Lincoln, Garfield,
Lincoln at the moment
he was about to reap the reward of
the years of patient toll and anx-
Garfield, victim of partisan rage, and
Mckinley the victim of blind anarchis,
tic wrath.
