Resolved That we deplore the defeat Of the

democrats of the country to press the issue of
tariff reform i'll the coming campaign. We there
fore petition the state convention to send dele
gates to Chicago men who are uncompromislngly
opposed to our present high and unjust tariff
laws, and who will insist that clear and I'M
equivocal declaration in favor of greater COM
mercial freedom be inserted in the national
platform, and who will nominate for president
man whose acts and words have shown him 10
be believer i'll and a fearless advocate of tariff
reform.
The motion was seconded by
