l. Resolred. By this Democratic State
| Committee, that the so-called Democratic
| State Convention, recently held st Utica,
| has misrepresented the sen numents Of the
true Democracy of the State, by its approx
al of the financial policy of President
Grants administration, including the forced
resumption of specie payments; that such
| convention has, moreover, lnsulted and
| betrayed them by electiDg packed delega-
| ton to present the name of Samuel j. Til
| den to the st. Louis convention; that, in
| the opinion of this State committee, neither
| Justice nor expediency demands the nomi-
| nation of Mr., Tilden, cause he is the rep
r. sentative and exponent of the Repuo-
| lican financial policy; because he is nO5 the
| free choice of the Democratic masses OF
| this State, and can not receive its electoral
votes; and because, in view OF the success
