RESOLVED, That this convention heartily en-
dorses the platform adopted by the late Demo-
cratic State convention, and pledges its sup
port to the candidates nominated by said con-
vention.
Mr.. Kelly said the convention had done
wise thing in advocating ''hard money!
and Estates rights" and he wanted to see
this convention endorse the platform.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
Mr.. Sulzbach offered resolution, which
appointed the county committee, naming
one from each ward.
Mr.. P. H. Kelly opposed this resolution
as indecorous. It was always the custopl to
leave the appointment of such committee to
the chairman.

motion prevailed authorizing the president
of the convention to appoint the county
committee at his leisure.
AT this juncture the country members
came In and reported the name of Thomas
Ryan, of Reserve, as county commissioner.
The convention ratified it, and adjourned
with three rousing cheers for the ticket.
