the i committee on resolutions perspired copiously copi-ously as he read the tollowing ENDLESS NKSOLTITIOXS The Republicans or Utah in convention assembled as-sembled congratulate the people of the terri tory that the time has come when they can I push old differences behind them and move forward for-ward upon tnese lines that tend most directly to the punlic gooa We hold that it is the part of wisdom and of patriotism to recognize the changes that have occurred and to accept their inevitable tendency ten-dency aud ve maintain that any effort to force conditions under which old lines would be reestablished and old bitternesses revived is to bo condemned as inimical to the best interests inter-ests of all the people of Utah We congratulate the Republicans of Utah upon the Urge vote polled at the recent election elec-tion Circumstances were such that the party could scarcely hope to make more than a beginning be-ginning and the splendid pioportions of that beginning encourages our confident belief that the time is near at hand when a large majority of the people of the territory will be found arrayed ar-rayed under the oanner of the party of progress pro-gress Believing that the party upon which communities com-munities anally rely for the best results of government should clearly define its position before the people upon all questions of general interest aud importance we hereby enunciate the following as the platform of principles of i the jublican party of Huh We are unalterably attached to the principles of the Republican party and are prepared to maintain them before the people of this territory terri-tory believing that they are best calculated to foster the Interests of the section in whch we live as well as the interests of every other section sec-tion of our common country We affirm our unswerv ring devotion to the national constitution and to the indissoluble union of the states t the authority reserved to the states under tho constitution and to tho personal rights and liberties of citizens in all the states und territories The Republicans hold that all political pover is of the people that national authority is derived de-rived from the people of all the states and state authority Irom the people of the particular state that the government of the Onited States possesses thp powers named in its constitution and those necessary to their exercise that the people of the state possess the powers not so corf erred or denied t them by that instrument that the state government may exercise such powers a remain with its people as they have not in their constitution forbidden the use of that the national and state governments are sovereign in their respective spheres and that there can be no conflict between their rights so bounded And we further affirm that the allegiance of the citizen of the United States is direct and immediate and that his allegiance to the state cannot intervene and that from this it follows that the United Statesis a nation while Democrats hold that the national constitution is simply a compact between the states and that the United States is not a nation This doctrine was first announced an-nounced in the Kentucky resolutions of 17U9 penned by Thomas Jefferson They declare that the state is authorized to judge of any infraction in-fraction of its rights under the national constitution consti-tution and that nullification by the I state is the rightful remedy when it decides that they are invaded This right of the state as claimed t decide upon the authority the national government gov-ernment and to annul it was defined as state rights and led to nullification in 1S32 and in 1851 to nullification rebellion and treason To defend de-fend the United States government from assaults as-saults of the Democratic adherents and champions cham-pions of states ights so defined by them and to preserve its existence cost the American people the lives 01 nunareus or tnousands of patriotic and brave men untold suffering and incalculable treasure We aro uncompromisingly in favor of the American system of protection We protest against its destruction proposed by the Demo critic party It serves the interests of Europe Ye1dl support the Interests America The protect e system must be maintained its abandonment has always been followed by general disaster to all interests except those of the usurer und the sheriff We conaemn the proposition of the Democratic Demo-cratic party to place wool on the free list This policy persistently urged by that party would work measureless disaster to one of our most important industries bring ruin to many throw a vast number of men out of employment em-ployment and lose to Utah a very large part of her income now annually received from the wool clip We viewwith undisguised alarm the persistent per-sistent efforts made by the Democratic party to admit Mexican lead ore free of duty That party supported that proposition in the last Congress and would carry it through i it should be permitted to come into complete control of tho national government Tho Republican Re-publican party has given our great mining industry in-dustry protection gen the peon product of the southern republic and has thereby conferred confer-red an inestimable blessing upon Utah and it I is entitled to the unwavering support of all hoP I ho-P for their individual prosperity upon the prosperuyoi u UU LUUL We take pride in the policy of appropriating the public lands of the United States forhome steals for American citizens and settlers not aliens which the Republican party established in ISfW against tho persistent opposition of Democrats in Congress and which has brought our great w esteru domain into such magnificent development And in contrast with the Republican partys record in this respect we point t the failure of tho Democratic administration under Grover Cleveland to execute the laws securing to settlers set-tlers their titles to homesteads I We endorse the administration of President Harrison and particularly commend the course pursued by our state department AVo heartily approve the reciprocity policy Inaugurated by this administration believing it 1 open new and enlarged markets for American farmers and manufacturers and be of the greatest value to this country We point with pride to the record of President Harrisons administration in connection with federal appointments in this territory the appointments ap-pointments having been made from among the bona tide residents of Utah this being in marked contrast with the record of the Democratic Demo-cratic administration that preceded it Wo are lovally attached those principles the Republican party under which i strives to build up the American merchant and marine and the American navy to protect the right of franchise to maintain free schools to encourage encour-age temperance to maintain tho honor of the American flag to protect American citizens at home and abroad and to secure proper and adequate ad-equate pensions for the veteran of the war and for th dependent families of deceased soldiers We demand that silver shall be restored to the position that it held before the passage of the demonetization i acj of 1873 u we win carry lorwaru poputnr government in Utah regardless of religious distinctions by our united efforts free from all distinction We are opposed to the disfranchisement of any citizen except of crime of which he shall have been convicted by due process of law and we favor the free exercise of the power of amnesty to all citizens disfranchised on account ac-count of polygamy or polygamous relations whit will obey ana uphold the laws of the United States Unied We assert and recognize the dignity of labor and the necessity of proper legislation to protect pro-tect its interests that home laborers and contractors con-tractors who contribute t the public funds are justly entitled to the preference in all public works and that Utah work should go to Utah workmen The national Republican party in its platform plat-form adopted in liSt declared The government govern-ment by congress of the territories is based congess upon necessity only to the end that they may become states in the union Therefore whenever when-ever the condition of the population material resources public intelligence and morality are such as to insure a stable local government therein the peonle of the territories should be permitted as a right Inherent in them to form for themselves constitutions and state governments govern-ments and be admitted into the union I We deny that the Republicari party in Utah is organized to unduly hasten statehood The question of statehood for Utah is not Involved in the present political Issues or in the division divis-ion of the people of the territory on national party lines We urge the enactment of laws which will establish uniformity and equity in the application applica-tion of the general laws of the United States ii I > < v government In respect to the location and development de-velopment of mining property so that prospectors pros-pectors may be more greatly encouraged to continue their explorations in our great mineral districts distrcts We demand the enactment of a law making it a misdemeanor fo employers to practi e what is known as blacklisting or to interfere with the freedom of their employees in the exercise of the franchise by any sort of coercion coer-cion We hold that eight hours should bo made bylaw by-law a days work on all public work We are In favor of equitable railroad legislation legisla-tion under which railroad companies shall be encouraged to build the lines that are needed for tho further development of Utahs great resources and which shall at the same t me fully protect the interests of individuals and communities in their relations to the common carriers Wo demand such legislation as will satisfactorily satisfac-torily equalize the assessment and taxation of property We favor the enactment of a personal registration regis-tration law which shall compel voters to register regis-ter in person or by satisfactory vouchers giving their exact residence and we urge the adoption I adop-tion of a ballot law modeled after the Australian Austra-lian system so that the disgrace of fraud at the polls hitherto too familiar in some places in this territory may not hereafter attach to the fair name of Utah CRITCHLOW CRITICIZES IT E B Critchlow took exception to the part of the resolutions charging that the Democratic doctrine was that the United States is not a nation and he moved to strike that part out as it was usually understood un-derstood that the Democratio doctrine was the direct opposite the Republican doctrine doc-trine He thought that by defining the Republican Re-publican position the convention did all that was politic While all the resolutions might be true it was not dignified nor usual to embrace it in the partys platform Frank Cannon was opposed to taking the words back as ccVtain men had been around this territory telling the Democrats what Democrats believed in and he thought it was as well to tell them what they are Thereunon Mr Critchlow informed the young man that this was a political convention conven-tion and not a cross road stump At this moment Chairman Hulaniskihove in sight and Judge Lynch relinquished the chair in his favor Of course Hulaniski made a speech The Republican party he said owed much of everything it was to James G Blaine men tno convention went wild nrown split a toothpick and Balderston gave the Colorado yell At this juncture Judge Miller introduced intro-duced an individual who travels on his hair He vowed he would never cut it until Henry Clay was elected president and as Henry Clay is no longer in politics the hair remains uncut The individuals name is A B Morton and his mission just now he says is to take his hair to Ohio in behalt of McKinley Of course ho too made a speech and he too concluded with thanking the Lord for James G Blaine More applause President Harrisons name was referred to later on but it only received faint applause ap-plause WHAT WOULD BECOME OF THE LILLIPUTIAN Arthur Brown offered as an amendment to the resolutions the following Resolved That it is the sense of this convention conven-tion that the federal appointments for Utah should be selected from the Republicans of Utah who are loyal und true to the party and who vote its ticket and the Republican administration admin-istration is requested to select appointees from R epublicans only and remove all others In commenting upon this resolution Mr Brown created much merriment by saying I is due to the high offlcesthoy hold that we should give them some alight courtesy I think that the administration should be advised on this point W L Brown offered this substitute to Arthur Browns resolution I is the senso of this convention that as an organized party of this territory we are entitled to the recognition of the national administration administra-tion in future appointments by the administration administra-tion for this territory under the IncumUency of the Republican party The second Brown wanted malice toward none and charity to nil and he fortified himself with sundry eloquent quotations Nevertheless the first only and original Brown carried his point and his amendment amend-ment was adopted excepting the last line which was stricken out The resolutions were then adopted including cludinar the amendment offered by E Blackstone Black-stone Critchlow Mr Sleater read a resolution in regard to labor but it was ruled out of order I pm On motion a recess was taken until 730 i wo keep zealously at work we will surely get there bye and bye The crowd called for Frank Cannon and the incipient Webster hurled his fiery darts at the Democratic party thick and fast He too concluded with booming the sick knight John Henry Smith was called out and said saidI 1 am the fellow the Democrats charge as being be-ing the champion liar of the party Great laughter I propose to stay with them or die in the attempt T Xh A vote of thanks was extended to the Republican Re-publican league clubs and the chairman of the convention At Judge Lynchs suggestion a vote of thanks was given to the Republican press of the territory for tho able and effective work they were doing in disseminating the doctrine and pledging them the support of the convention |
