The next business in order was announced
to be nominations. There was some hest
tation, during which the convention seemed
to be IN doubt whether roll of counties
should be called or not, and the silence was
becoming awkward when Mr.. Phil Y.

painful by rising and placing in nomiua-
ton Hon. f. Z. Albright, in very few
words, experimenting the nomination with
motion to make the nomination by &C.
clsmation.

ceived with an enthusiastic shout several
seconds to the motion followed each other
in quick succession, and the motion, being
put after no response had been made to the
chairs question if there were any further
nominations, was carried by hearty shout
of faye" from every delegate present.
A committee of three was appointed, on
motion, to notify Mr.. Albright of his nomi-
nation and to conduct HIM before the con-
vention.
While this committee was out upon Its
mission, Mr.. w. E. Hendricks, of AeXan-
der, nominated Capt. Thomas Wilson for
member of the State Board of Equalization.
This nomination was also received with APP
plause, and no further nominations being
made, motion to select Capt. Wilson by
reclamation was also carried without dis
sentng voice, and another committee of
three was appointed by the Chair to notify
Capt. Wilson of his nomination and to
bring him before the convention.
At this stage of the proceedings, Mr..
Foreman, of Perry County, offered the fol
loving resolutions:
Resolved, That the Republican party for
more than twenty years has been granting
Government bounty through the high
protective tariff to the manu-
featuring lords, who have grown
enormously rich and are daily
growing richer by Government aid, Whlle
the manufacturing laborer still works for
his daily bread, receiving no manner OF
benefit from the subsidy which the present
unjust tariff gives to the manufacturer.
Resolved, That the wealth of the coun-
try is produced only by the laborer who tolls
on the farm or in the mine; and the Dem
ocratic party demands that these tolllng-
producers Of the country's wealth shall he
relieved from the burthens of unjust and
unequal tariff taxation, whereby the plon
clothing of the sboring man is more high
ly taxed than tie fine ralment Of the rich
idler; and the Democratic party further de-
mands that the miner, who risks his life in
adding to the wealth of the country and in
developing Its hidden resources, shall re-
ceive the protection of additional legisla-
ton for his safety.
Resolved, That this convention recon-
mends the nomination of Tllden and Hen
bricks, and the re adoption of the platform
of 1876.
