l. When they were beset by stratagem
and tricks, prior to the organization of the
Convention, they were guilty of no dishonor
in return.
| 2. That when the Democratic Delegates
ran away from the Convention the Republi-
can Delegates remained at their post of duty.
3. That while the Democratic Delegates
refused to be governed by the clearly express
ed will of the majority, the Republicans re-
cognized the good old Democratic rule that
the majority shall govern.
4. That while the Democrats neglected
for two weeks of the Convention all prctence
of public duty, the Republicans attended
promptly to the business for which they were
sent.
5. That while the Democrats were labor
ing to produce state of anarchy in the Ter
ritOry, by presenting two Constitutions to
the people, the Republicans labOred success
fully for one Constitution.
g. That the Republicans preserved their
honor and showed good faith in regard to all
agreements entered into by the compromise
committees while the Democrats violated
their plighted faith and determined to embez-
zle the public funds to pay bogus delegates
from beyond the limits of the State and
thereby defraud the clearly elected represen-
tatves of the people.
Votes of thanks were returned to j. W.
Furber, Chairman, and the other officers of
