During the absence of the Committee
on Resolutions the Convention was
entertained by stirring speeches from
W. A. Wallace and M. lleatty. The
Committee then reported the following
resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted anil ordered to be sent to the
Grayson (ia.ette. Hartford
and Louisville Commercial:
1. The Republicans of Grayson
county, in their first convention after
the party's National defeat in 1892,
with perfect faith iu the justness of
Republican policies and the grand
mission ol the party, our
sacred devotion and undying
to the caidinal principles ol Republicanism
as expounded nud applied
by the immortal Lincoln, sustained
by the illustrious Grant and his com-peers
in rank upheld by the
grand old man from Maine and that
pure nud patriotic stateman, Benjamin
Harrison. 1
2. The great American doctrine of
Protection to home and fireside, workshop
and field is s interwoven with
the prosperity nnd magnificent progress
of this nation that liberty-loving,
honest, patriotic should look
with distrust and condemnation 011
any party whose principles or policies
threaten this iiuportnnt factor in our
National greatness.
3. Reciprocity is the companion of
Protection; retaliation the necessary
accompaniment of Free Trade. The
Republican party chooses the peaceful,
business-like policy of
ty father than the brutal scheme
of retaliation aud appeals to the in-
telliircncc and sober thoiu'ht of n
pie bom with nn inspiration ol liberty
nnd nursed on the bosom ol justice
lor a vindication of their course and
cause.
