GEORGE W. BAKER,
Ed. L~EvANTHAL.
OFFICERS CHOSEN.
The Chairman's address was brief, but en-
thusiastic, Democratic, we'll turned, elegant
and scholarly. No purer man or better
Democrat than Mr.. Fitzgerald could have
been selected TO dignity the Craftsmanship,
as everybody will allow.
Judge d. j. J. Mclaughlin, elected by
reclamation as Assistant Chairman, was
an equally acceptable selection and graft
flying to all Democrats.
b. G. Levy was chosen Secretary and E.
J. Butler Assistant Secretary.
Thomas McGovern was chosen Sergeant
alarms and Stephen O'Laughlin Assistant
Sergeant.at-Arms.
N RESOLUTIONS.
Judge Rives, Chairman, read the major
ity report, as follows:
WHEREAS, The Republican party, first,
under the pretense Of military necessity"
and, secondly, as being necessary to the
prosperity Of the country has, for "a years,
| gradually encroached upon the rights of
the citizens; and,
WHEREAS, That party has insidiously
and constantly legislated in favor Of cap
| ital and against the dearest rights of
labor, until labor has come to feel in
secure, and that it has no protection
under the law, but must rely on violence;
and,
WHEREAS, The Republican party has
descended to one species Of d~emagoguery
after another, making promise after
promise, to a devoted and long-suffering
constituency, and has repeatedly and
always broken them; and,
WHEREAS, Neither its real course nor
its leading candidate deserves the con-
fdence Of those who love liberty and who
desire the perpetuity Of our form Of gov
eminent, therefore, we call upon all fair
minded, rejecting men, irrespective OF
former party affiliations, to join with us
at this time and aid in rebuking the COR
ruption and deceit that have prevailed 80
long in high places; and,
WHEREAS, The National Dsmocratic
platform as put forth in Chicago, and re-
iterated by our State Convention at
Austin, declares the charges against the
Republican party, as we'll as the principles
and promises of the Democracy, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That we, the Democracy OF
Eureka county. reafirm, indorse and
adopt, both the letter and spirit OF each OF
those platforms.
Resolved, That the Democracy of this
county undualiiedly condemn what is
kno wn as the Assessors bilF' as un-Dem-
ocratic, revolutionary and contrary, not
only to the principles Of our party, but
because il is an extremely dangerous pre-
cedent, and opposed to the doctrines upon
which rests the ~permanency OF our form
Of government.
Resolved, That one OF the most prom
inent Republican politicians, lobbyists and
chronic ofice-holders of the State, is re-
sponsible for said outrageous Act as 1t
was originated by, and passed in his inter
est, under the false pretense OF economy
and reform.
Resolved, That, being earnest and sin
cere in the support of Democratic princi-
plies, and fearless in condemnation OF the
slightest infraction thereof, besides, be-
ing equally jealous to approve the proper
acts of public officers, we cannot refrain
from an expression of our mortiticatlon
and disapproval of the manner in which
our Chief Executive permitted said Act TO
become a law, and we demand from him
in the future a prompt and courageous
veto of all similar legislation, to the end
that our party may, in no way, be saddled
with such a monstrous blow at American
liberty.
Resolved, That, fearing, as We do, the
activity and INSCRIPTIONS character OF the
Republican ~ofice-holders in our midst
and knowing the tendency of the Repub-
lican party to ruthlessly encroaeh upon
the rights of the people and to centralize
mower as was attempted by said bill, we
demand from our nominees for the Legs
lature their pledge to oppose the passage
Of m similar bills.
Resolved, That the citizens OF Nevada
are the most heavily taxed community IN
the civilized world, and, that, unless the
burdens OF the people are lessened, all cap
ital and enterprise will be driven from me
state. and, therefore, we urge upon the
LEGISLATURE the cutting off OF deputies In
both State and county offices, wherever
thew are an expense to the taxpayers; ana
we hereby request the consolidation OF ON,
cos of counties and judicial districts ana
every possible means of retrenchment IN
both State and county governments con
sislent with the efficiency OF the pupnc
sarvice. We deem such a course apso-
Iptely essential 20 the interests OF tne poo,
nIe and necessary to the maintenance OF
our State government.
Resolved, BY the Democracy OF EUREKA
~countv. in convention assembled tnat we
commend our follow townsman and present
Concressman from Nevada for his IN
Sns,rv faithfulness and efficiency. as a
Ranresentative Of ourselves and OF the
whole people in the Lower House VI Tue
