ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
Pennsylvania Democratic
ton.
ALLENTOWN, Pa, April 10.-ln the
Democratic Convention, the Committee on
Resolutions presented the following report:
The Democratic party of Pennsyl-
| vania, in State Convention, will main
| tain those principles of the Government
ordained by the Federal Constitution, and
the Interpretation of them which the
founders of the party have settled and
made known:
First-We denounce the late attempts
| by the agents of the Federal Government
to overturn these principles by judicial
| legislation and executive u~surpation.
Second-We are against Capitalization,
monopoly, e%xtravagant expenditures, sub,
| sides, and the debasement of the Civil
Service for partisan spoilation.
Third-We believe that the Electoral
| Frauds of 1875 by which Samuel J. Tilden
and Thomas A. Hendricks were cheated
out of the Offices of President and Vice
President, to which they were fairly
elected, was q most deadly blow aimed at
our system of representative Government;
and that the duty Of driving from power
the men and the party who made that
fraud triumphant, is made a sacred obliga-
ton ever imposed upon the consciences OF
| freemen.
Fourth-We favor a tariff for revenue
| limited to the necessities OF the Govern
ment, economically administered, and so
adjusted in it's application as to prevent
1890 1,.-In~n nn1 fn nnnn1ronn nrn.
ductive industries at home, and to afford
q Just compensation to labor; but not to
create or foster ~monopolies; and to this
end we favor the abolition Of the Interna-
national Revenue system Of taxes and
such an adjustment of existing tariff du-
ties as will be consistent with these princi-
| pies. Every legitimate effort Of labor to
better its condition, enhance its rewards
and protect its rights, commands the SYM
patty and support of the Democratic
party. The importation under contract of
foreign pauper labor is an evil which
should be remedied by judicious legis-
lation.
Resolved, That Samuel j. Randall is
the choice of the Democratic party OF
Pennsylvania as the candidate Of the party
for President. By long, faithful public
service he has illustrated his unfaltering
devotion to the high political principles
and fealty of the Democratic party. His
honesty and honor, his capacity and cour.
age, and his faithful labors and signal
abilities lave merited and won for bin
the confidence and support Of the people
] OF the United States.
As the third resolution was read the
convention broke into cheers. Tit plank

Chicago Cinchers.
CHICAGO, April 10.-Commenting OF thu
resolutions of the Wyoming stock grow
ers on the exorbitant rates of stock yards
the Daily News says: The significance o
such action cannot be overestimated. Thu
stock yard men are like the couple in thu
old fable who killed the goose that the,

of her golden eggs. They are in theil
/ blind eagerness to make their business
as profitable as possible, doing just wha
will diminish and, perhaps, destroy it
, This is not the first public protest agains
those charges. Will stock yard men taxi
warning? As little as they may be in
clined to believe it, Chicago is not one
tenth part as necessary to the cattlemeI
as they are to Chicago. If charges be-
come unbesrable they will take their stocb
elsewhere. 1t is only a question of tim,
necessary to make the arrangements. In
terviews with prominent committeeman
show that they have no intention of taking
any action in regard to the matter. They
all seem firm in the belief that Wyoming
cattle cannot be diverted from Chicago.
