| The committee on

Presented the following report:

ored principle of the Democratic party
that the will of the people shall be ex-
pressed freely at all times and under all
circumstances, either in their individual
capacity at the ballot box or throus Ii
their representatives in all deliberative
bodies and believing that the unit rule,
emanating as it has from the Republican
party, the party of Capitalization, con-
solidation and monopoly, tends to pro-
mote and advance the interests of the
monopolistic corporations of the present
| day by the creation of machine voters
to be guided and directed by political
bosses of corporations; and,
WHEREAS, This Convention, and the
Democracy of Los Angeles county, rep
resented by its members, have all conf
| dence in the honesty and integrity of
purpose of the gentlemen to be elected
to represent the county in the Demo-
cratic State Convention, to be held at
San Jose, June Goth, 1882; Therefore,
| be it
ReSoloed, That it is the expressed
| wish of this Convention that each and
every delegate to the State Convention
shall represent the interest of this coun-
ty and the Democ ecy of the State, un-
biased and unhampered by any instruc-
tions from this Convention relative to q
choice for. nominee of the party on the
ooatC VI tlChCt, bllut tuCIl
delegate, singly and upon his own judg
ment, shall act for the best interests of

OF his own conscience.

The following amendment was pro
posed:
ResOtped, That the sentiment of the
Democracy of Los Angeles county is in
favor of the nomination of General
George Stoneman for Governor of the
State of California
Mr.. White put himself on record as
Stoneman man.
Mr.. Del Vale did not want the unit
rule adopted. He was for Stoneman
but did not like the delegates tied to one
man if he had no show.
Mr.. Lynill said the resolution pledged
no man to vote for Stoneman but he be-
lieved the sentiment of the county was
in his favor.
Mr.. 7. S. Shaw thought the time had
come when the people must grapple with
corporations.
Mr. w. w. jenkins wanted the Con
vention to amend the amendment by
adding recommendation for Judge
Sepulveda for Supreme Judge.
The resolutions as first amended were
adopted, it being understood that the
amendment was not an instruction,
Messrs. White, Lynill and others stipu-
lating on the floor that it would not be
construed as pledge.
The Convention then adjourned
sine die.
