in reply to the notification of his nomina-
ton, urges the selection of some one else
and leave him to private life. At the
same time he declares his unalterable
fidelity to and sympathy with the Louis

he will not accept the nomination. it is
CONSTRUCTED as an Indication that he will
acceptif the convention still insists.
THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
REVOLUTIONS,
as adopted, is as follows:
Whereas, The frequent recurrence to
first principles and eternal vigilance
against abuses are the wisest provisions for
liberty which is the source of progress, and
fidelity to our constitutional system IS the
only protection for either; therefore,
Resolced, That the original basis of our
whole political structure is the consent in
every part thereof of the people of each
State, voluntarily created, the State and
States voluntarily formed union, and each
State provided by its written constitution
for everything as State should do for the
protection of life, liberty and property
within, and each State jointly with others
provide a Federal Union for Interstate re-
lations
Resolped. That all governmental powers.
whether State or Federal. are trust pow
ers, coming from the people of each State,
and that they are limited to the written let
ter of the constitution and the laws passed
in pursuance of it; which powers must be
exercised in the utmost good faith the con-
stitution itself providing in what manner
they may be altered and amended.
ReS0lred, That the interest Of labor and
capital should not be permitted to conflict,
but should be harmonized by judicious leg
isation, and while such conflicts continue,
labor, which is the parent of wealth, is
entitled to paramount consideration.
ReSotUcG, That we proclaim to the world
that principle is to be preferred to power,
that the Democratic party is held together
by cohesion to time-honored principles
which they will never surrender in ex-
change tor all the offices which presidents
can confer. The pangS Of the minorties
are doubtless eNcrucating, but we welcome
eternal minority under the banner inscribed
with our principles, rather than an almighty
and everlasting majority purchased by their
abandonment.
ResoIved, That having been betrayed at
Baltimore, into false creed and false lead.
ership by the convention there held, we re-
pudiate both, and appeal to the people to
approve our platform and to rally to the
polls and support the true platform and
candidates who embody it.
