The Democrats of Centre county in general
codvention assembled, hail with pleasure the
promises and eviden ccs Of unity in the ranks OF
! the party, and tender congratulations TO the
| people Of Pennsylvania, upon the return to the
tried and secure principles IS established By tn
Democratic party.
EeSoIred, That by the election Of Hon. Robt.
L. Pattison, Governor OF Pennsylvania, the
| people Of the keystone State, have placed their
rights and liberties in the hands of an eXecu
tive. who has proven himself fearless to mete
out justice to all. unrestrained by prejudice,
and unbranded by party pledges.
/ ResolveG, That we endorse the action Of the
Democratic Senators and Representatives in
demanding just and honest apportionment
IN accordance with the constitution and rights
of the people of the State, and condemn the act
ion OF the Republican members Of the Legisla-
ture for endeavoring to maintain the present
4 nn
cede to the propositions made them, by the
Democrats for fair and equal representation
ResogUed, That we heartily approve of the
course of our representatives, Hon. Henry Mcy-
er and Hon. 9. f. Hunter in supporting all re
form measures by their votes and infuence,and
/ for the faithful performance Of their duty upon
all occasions.
| ReSOLUed, That the Democratic members of the
Senate and House Of Representatives. of Penn
sylyania, and the Governor, Hon. Robert Z
! PattsOn, merit our NarmeSt cOmmendaton of
| their dauntless course in abOishing needless Of
| fees and thereby saving to the taxpayers OF this
| commonwealth loathsOme burden,and that by
| the unequvOcal attitude they have taken in all
measures of reform have furnished abundant ev-
! idence that their control will be extended to
other abuses and irregularities that have be-
come enormites under Republican administra-
| tiOn.
ResoIUed, That the position fthe Republican
party, that the people should be taxed unneces
sarily to raise a surplus fund for distribution
among the states should not escape universal
denunciation, but we believe that import du-
ties should be so adjusted as to render unequal
burdens impossible tl render just and reason
able compensation to ab0r, but in no wise to
foster monopolieS Weprotest against burden
ing the people with taxes that are not absolute
ly necessary for the economical management
of the government, and into palable corrup-
ton fund for the furtherance of party interests.
Resolved, That we signify our endorsement
OF the no llnations made by the late State Con
vention, Captain Robert Taggart, of Warren
county, for Auditor General and Hon. Joseph
