ReSoIUed, by the Democracy of Bed
ford County, in Convention assembled,
That we re-affirm the platform of prin-
ciples adopted by the Democratic State
Convention, which assembled at Har-
risburg, on Tuesday, 18th inst, and
commend thesame to the careful consid-
Grafton of every voter in the county.
ResOEred, That denomination of Hon.
George SharsWood, of Phila. lelpha, for
Justice ofthe Supreme Court, meets our
most hearty appreciation, and is a well
deserved tribute to one of the ableSt
jurists and noblest men in the Whole
Commonwealth.
ResolUed, That the Legislature of our
State, needs reform, that, in the lam
guage of the newspaper organ of the
Radicals of this county, "another such
Legislature as the last will sink u.s."
and, therefore, we recommend the NOM
ination of a Democratic Reform Ticket
for member. of the Legislature for this
district.
ResoLUed, That we are earnestly in fa-
vor of the enactment of such laws as
will give our section the much needed
railroad development, and we repro
bate the negligence and inefficiency of
the members of the late Legislature
from this district, in regard to this mat
ter so vital and all important to the i'll
terests of our county.
ReSOtUed, That we approve of the Wig
ilance and fidelity to duty of the pres
ent Board of Poor Directors, in recti-
flying the financial errors in the Poor
House accounts, as well those commit
ted by our political opponents as those
which occurred during the administra-
tion of Democrats, and that we hail
with satisfaction the eXtrication of the
county from its Indebtedness to the
State, by the present board of County
Comm iSsiOnerS.
Resolved, That g. w. Gump, j. w.
Dickerson and ID. A. L. Black be and
they are hereby appointed conferees to
meet similar contereeS from the coun-
ties of Fulton and Somerset to nOmi-
nate candidates for members of the
Legislature.
ReSOired, That this Convention ap-
prove of the ticket this day nominated
and we will give it our undivided sup
port.
Prothonotary Shannon, being called
upon to address the Convention, re-
sponded in his usual happy style. His
address elected much applause.
On motion the Convention adjourned
sine die.
The Bedford Democratic Brass Band
enlivened the proceedings, with most
excellent music, and after listening to
one of its splendid pieces, the members
of the Convention dispersed, resolved
to do more determined battle than ever
for Democratic principles and Demo-
cratic candidates.
JOB MANN, President.
