Resolved, That the Democratic party of the
township of Eureka, cordially ratlfy the nOmi-
nations of the National Democratic Convention,
at Cincinnati, and heartily approve the plat
form adopted by that body
Resolved That while we view the National,
State, and County conventions as the only true
authority for Democratic doctrine, the Demo
Gratis of Eureka Township, in a spirit of concord
declare it to be their most ANXIOUS desire that
the party shall come before the people free from
local issues.
/ h6SOtC6U, lHub Nlliit dc SOOu CtbiLCuS We VIII
support the different officers of the government
in the discharge of the duties incumbent upon
them, we feel that all questions connected with
the acts of the vigilance committee of San Fran
cisco, are local in their natmre, and that it would
be unwise, and ineXpedient for the Democratic
party to incorporate anything in regard thereto
| in their platform until forced upon them by
other organizations
Resolced, That for the more perfect organiza-
! ton of the Democratic party, we recommend to
the Democrats of the township the formation of
Clubs in the different precints, to be held with
open doors, at which the members of other par
ties can be present as spectators, and when
majority of the members Of the Club see fit, be
invited to take part in their discussions.
Resolved, That as the Democratic party relies
for success upon the discriminating intelligence
Of the American people, we urge upon the Dem
ocrats Of this township the distribution of such
pamphlets and papers among the members of
other parties as the Clubs may be able to OBJ
tain.
Resolred, That we view courteous and gentle
manly discussion, in public, as tending to the
formation of a correct public sentiment, and
| that we invite the speakers of the democratic
party to visit as many of the precincts in the
township as possible and that we will unite with
the other democratic organizations in the coun-
ty for the purpose of making such arrangements
as will best attain this end, but in consequence
Of our distance from the county seat, we rely
upon the central organization, to perfect the ar
rangem0nts
Resolved That we are in favor of the nomina-
/ ton to Office of those, and those alone who are
honest, capable ana faithful to the constitution.
Resolved, That these resolutions with the pro-
ceedings of this meeting, be published in the
Nevada Democrat.

Whereas. We believe that Eureka township is
