ANNALS OF BROWN COUNTY.
[1893.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That we, the Republicans of Brown county in convention assembled, proud of the grand achievements of their party in the past and with confidence in its wisdom, its patri- otism and its purity, do again affirm their devotion to its principles as enunciated in the plat form adopted on the 9th of June, 1892 at Minneapolis.
Resolved, That we re-affim with renewed zeal our unswerving fidelity to the American system of protection, believing that American markets should be first for our own citizens. Home markets with an army of consumers engaged in various industries are for the best inter ests of our people and should be protected in order that labor may be remuneratedt and employ- ment furnished for all who may desire it.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse the position of the national platform in demanding "the use of both gold and silver as standard money with such restrictions and under such pro- visions to be determined by legislation as to secure the maintainance of the parity of values of the two metals, so that the purchasing and debt paying power of the dollar, whether of gold silver or paper, shall be at all times equal. The interests of the producers of the country, its farmers and its workingmen demand that every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the govern- ment, shall be as good as any other."
Resolved. That we re-affirm our opposition to all class legislation and to all combinations organized in trusts or otherwise to arbitrarily control the conditions of trade among our citi- zens.
Resolved, That while we would ever welcome to our shores the intelligent, honest and in dustrious citizens of other countries, we protest against the immigration of the criminal and pauper classes of the old world.
Resolved, The security of life and property, the well being and happiness of our citizens, the best interests of all our people demand that the majority shall rule and that there shall be faithful obedience to the constitution and laws of our state. Without this we can have no civil government, and for this disregard for the constitution and the rights of the majority and this open and notorious violation of law we arraign the present state administration and charge them with a violation of their oaths of office We arraign them and all who sustain their ac- tions as false to the best interests of our state and as having by their conduct and slanderons ut- terances dishonored the fair name of Kansas and driven from the state worthy citizens of other states who would have settled within her borders. By discrediting the financial ability and honesty of our citizens they have driven capital from our state and made it impossible for our citizens to get extensions of their pecuniary obligations; and we appeal to the patriotism and good sense of the citizens of our country to arrest their power in behalf of good government and to place the seal of condemnation upon those who have thus proven themselves unworthy of public trust.
Resolved, That the delegates of this convention hereby express their grateful appreciation of the splendid hospitality accorded them by the people of Brown county's "Magic City." To the patriotic women our hearts thanks are extended.
S. W. Moore for treasurer, J. V. McNamar for clerk and S. E. Brown for sheriff were nominated by acclamation.

Resolved, That we re-affirm our devotion to Republican principles as enunciated in the Minneapolis platform and point with pride to the administration of Benjamin Harrison made all the more striking and brilliant by a comparison with the weak and vacillating policy of his successor.
Resolved, that we condemn in unmeasured terms the conduct of the present administra- tion towards the defenders of our country's flag and denounce it as not only unpatriotic but dis- honest and unworthy a great government.
Resolved, The security of life and property, the well being and happines of our citizens, the best interests of all our people demand that the majority shall rule and that there shall be faithful obedience to the constitution and laws of our state.
Without this we can have no civil government and for this disregard for the constitution and the rights of the majority and this open and notorious violation of law we arrange the pres- ent state administration and charge them with a violation of their oaths of office.
We arraign them and all who sustain their actions as false to the best interests of our state and as having by their conduct and slanderous utterances, dishonored the fair name of Kansas and driven from the state worthy citizens of other states who would have settled with. in her borders.
By discrediting the financial ability and honesty of our citizens they have driven capital frem our state and made it impossible for our citizens to get extensions of their pecuniary obli_ gations and we appeal to the patriotism and good sense of the citizens of our country to arrest their power in behalf of good government and to place the seal of condemnation upon those who have thus proven themselves unworthy of public trust.

Resolved, That we heartily commend the Hon. Case Broderick for his untireing efforts in behalf of his constituents and for the faithful and able manner in which he has discharged his duties which entitles him to the hearty and united support of his constituents
Resolved, That in our fellow citizen, Major Edmund N. Morrill, we have a man whom we can present to the Republicans of the state of Kinsas with the perfect confidence born of our long associations with him and friendship for him.
