RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That the Republican
party in West Virginia through it's
representatives Assem- bed pledge
anew their fealty to the great po-
lIrIcal organization which has
been the great ruling force in the
affairs of the nation during the
past as years of its history that
we point with pride to the marvel
Gus growth and development of
the American people in every line
of industry, commerce and manu-
facture since the reins Of govern
ment were first turned over to a
Republican President, the immor-
tai Lincoln. The record of mate.
rial, intellectual and moral
achievement of this nation under
Republican administration has
been without a parallel in all his
tory.
Republicanism is more than q
mere party name. 1t is a system
of political principles, an order of
government which has been writ
ten into the laws and constitution
of the United States. Under it's
benefcent Influence we have
ceased to be a discordant union of
states and have become great
and splendid nation. We have
ceased to be dependent on foreign
manufacturers and have developed
every branch of industry until we
lead the world. We have ceased
to be debtor nation, paying enor-
nous interest charges to the old
world each year, and have become
creditor nation whose growing
enterprises in foreign lands give
us a commanding position in the
world of finance. We have ceased
to be a weak and impotent naval
power aud have taken rank among
the mighty nations who have the
courage to assert their rights and
the power to protect the interest
and welfare Of their citizens in
whatever land they see fit to invest
their money and venture their
persons.
Under a Republican President
We have fought a great and sue
cessful war. We have acquired
vast territorial possessions and we
have made the name of America"
honored and respected to the re-
motest corners Of the earth.
We have been no less active in
the works of peace that make for
the betterment and welfare of all
men. We have begun and are
splendidly carrying through the
great Isthmian Canal, a work
which bsfIled the skill and
strength of one great nation and
which fell to us az legitimate
task in the furtherance of enter
prises for the common good of the
world. We have taken a leading
part in the counsels Of the nations,
at all times exercising our in
huence in the interest os peace and
justice. These are some of the
fruits of Republican administra-
