| The committee on resolutions made the
following report, which was adopted and ap-
proved:
DEER LODGE, Mont, Sept. %, 1884.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Conpen-
| ton:
Your committee on resolutions beg leave
to submit the following as tbs result Of its
labors although the time allotted affords II
little opportunity to survey the field thor
oughly and make such report as it would
| like. However, by the consent of the con-
vention, it feels constrained to adhere to the
time-honored principles Of Democracy, and
heartily endorse the great reform Governor
Of New York, Grover Cleveland, for Presi-
dent, and thu pure and honorable statesman
OF Indiana, Thomas A. Hendricks, for Vice
President. The platform Of the Democratic
National convention, adopted at Chicago,
meets with our hearty approval, being, in
our opinion, the best for the interests Of tho
common people yet adopted by any National
convention held this year. In conclusion,
we offer the following series of resolutions,
and hope thcywi be unanimously adopted:
| Resolred, That the Northern Pacific Rail-
road compsuy, which was lavishly endowed
by Republican Congress with landed en-
pire, embracing nearly one.fourth Of the
lands Of Montana, and whose highway and
land grant extend through the entire length
Of this Territory, has, by its exaction Of ex-
orbtant prices for its lands, its sxtortionate
rates and fares, its disregard Of private
rights, its arrogant assumption of privileges,
its wanton and Wholesale destruction Of tim
| Dor On the public domain, its refusal to pay
damages or to submit to taxation Of its land
cd and other property, although demanding
and receiving the full protection Of our laws,
proven itself to be . selfish corporation and
a dangerous monopoly.
| RESOLVED, That in view of the fact that this
foreign corporation, which SO sorsly op-
presses US, has been sustained by the courts
in many of its prstensions, and that there
seems to be no protection against its agrees
sions and sxactions under existing laws as at
present administered, We recognize the ne
cessity Of speedy Legislation on the part Of
| Congress as our only remedy.
| Resolved, That 1t is the sense Of this con-
vention, that the Honorable Delegate in
Congress from Montana, calling to his assis-
lance the representatives Of other constitr-
encies who are groaning under the exactions
Of this giant MONOPOLY, should demand, and
| use all honorable efforts to procure the err
actment by Congress Of a law:
LIST. Requiring the Northern Pacific rail-
road company to recognize the claims Of all
actual settlers under any of the land laws Of
the United States made within the limits of
its land grant prior to the actual, definite and
| final location Of It's road.
ID Requiring the said company to sell its
lands to actual settlers at prices in no case
exceeding $500 per acre.
3d. Requiring 1t to cease its devastation,
appropriation and monopoly of the public
| timber.
| 4th. Requiring it to make returns of its
landed and other property for fair and equit-
| able taxation.
| 9th. Providing for the forfeiture Of lands
of the company as penalty fer its refusal or
failure to comply with any Of the foregoing
provisions.
Resolued, That our Delegates to the Terri
torial convention be instructed to introduce
and support in that body these or similar
| resolutions. GEO. w. CARLTON. Chm.
