E. II. Rauch offered an amendment to
the rules, baslng the number Of delegates
on the vote cast az the previous State cleo
tion, instead of the previous Gubernatorial
elections, as heretofore. Referred TO next
County Convention for adoption.
The following resolutions were then read
and unanimously adopted;
Resolved, That the Democrats Of Carbon
county in general meeting assembled re.
affirm the principals Of the party as incul-
Gated bv jefferson and jackson and their
long line Of successors to the present day.
Rosoiued, That as we understand the fun
damental principles of the Democratic par
ty, they are the supremacy Of the Constitu
tion and laws the right Of each State TO
conduct its own domestic affairs a free bal
lot AN honest count and unconditional obed
ience TO the popular will as expressed by
means Of the ballot entire religious free
dom and the liberty of the public press and
Of speech strict economy in all public ai-
fairs and rigorous enforcement Of law in all
cases of official fraud, defalcation, corrup-
ton, bribery or other misdemeanor.
ResoiUed, That the Democracy is now, as
in all former times, Internationally opposed
to monopolies, subsidies, grants OF public do
main or special LAYERS upon any corpora
tions, parties or combinations of individuals.
ResoiUed, That corporations instituted to
develop the resources of the country; to
mine our coal and iron and to stimulate in
dustry and promote profitable industrial and
commercial relations among the people, are
public, as well as private blessings. On the
other hand, corporations upon whom special
privileges, powers or so-calied rights are
conferred, such as individuals cannot enjoy
under the common or general laws OF the
land are contrary to the spirit OF Republican
government and the people owe it To them
selves to unite and employ all constitution
al and peaceful means to purge the State
and Country of all such odous combinations
and encroachments upon their rights and
interests.
ResolUed, That the passage of the Fund
ing bill by the Democrats of the 46th Com
gress, reducing the interest on the public
debt irom6 to per cent, which was vetoed
by the fraudulent occupant of the Presiden-
lial office, was an act in the interest of the
people Of the Country, and meets our un-
qualified approval.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse the
course of our member of Congress, Hon.
Robert Klotz, our State Senator, Hon. Allen
Craig, and our members Of the Legislature,
Messrs. Michael Cassidy and j. g. Zern.
Resolved, That the thanks of the Democ-
racy are due to II. E. Packer, Chairman Of
tbs County Committee, for the faithful and
efficient manner in which he discharged his
duties, and we tender him our congra ula-
tons upon the result OF the last Presidential
elections showing a larger Democratic gain
proportioned to the total vote than any other
county in the State.
Resolved, That, whilst we cannot hesitate
in declaring continued hostility to the policy
of the party with which President Garfield
is identified, we do most heartily unite with
patriotic people of all parties in denouncing
the recent attempt to assGssinaie him, as a
crime which admits Of no excuse or pallia-
| ton. We further unite in tendering sym
;athv to the suffering President and his
| family, and the earnest hope for his speedy
recovery and full restoration to the post OF
public duty to which he was duly elected
according to the provisions of the Constltu-
tion and laws.
A telegram from Mr.. II. E. Packer re-
signing the craftsmanship of the County
Convention was then read.
The meeting then proceeded to the ap-
pointment oi officers for holding the dele

Committee.
