We, your committee appointed on
resolutions. beg leave to report that
as such committee we believe in the
Republican party with it's progressive
ness and its policies heretofore pro-
nounced, believing that the Democrat
ic admi inistration is, as 1t has always
been, detrimental to the people as a
whole, and that the acts Of Congress
and the Senate on the tariff and the
money question, will be detrimental
to the people at large, and bring times
not wanted to the American people as
a whole. We. in MACS convention,
endorse the Republican party in all its
undertakings from the days of the
great and grand old Abraham Lincoln
up to the present date, and we recom'
mend in this, the county of Marion
that primary be held some day in
the future az will meet the will of the
people here assembled, and that we all
pledge our allegiance to the Repubi-.
can party and ITS principles of all the
past.
