On motion the above named par.
ties were urged to attend the State
Convention in body.
On motion the Chairman of the
Executive Committee was EN-.
powered to fill any vacancy in the
delegations should it come to his
knowledge.
The Committee on Re solutions
reported as follows:
Resolved, That we reaflirm our
fidelity to the principles of the
Demo cratic party as announced
IN its platform and that in recog.
milton of the material benefits its
administrations Of our govern.
ments have conferred, and the alb
solute necessity of its continuance
in control aud direction of our
State and county affairs, we anew
pledge ourselves to maintain its
supremacy.
Resolved, That we heartily en-.
dorse the administration of our
present State Executive, Robert
Lowry; and entertaining perfect
confidence in the fidelity, zeal and
wisdom of his official acts, express.
ly favor and support his re nomi
nation by the State Convention.
Resolved, That we present to
the State Convention our fellow
county man, w. w. Stone, a citi.
zen who has ever been quick to
respond to the demands of the pub
lie, and who has, disregarding self,
taken his place in the front rank
of his party in every combat to
which 1t has been summoned. We
ask our fellow Democrats of the
State to consider the especial
grounds upon which his candidacy
is based. From the Delta section,
inhabited by near 10000 people
and comprising near 5000, 900 acres
of land, the State derives it's chief
and most rapidly increasing reve.
nues. II contains the largest and
most promising field of undevel.
oped resources. With these ma.
terial interests and matters the
Auditors Office is intimately iden.
tilted and is the chief agent. This
important section of our State has
never yet in the present political
era been accorded representation
upon the State ticket. These facts,
We submit, constitute a strong ap.
peal upon the sense of party jus
tice.
This section of the State suffer
ed the most from Radical corrup-
ton; and in driving out the rob.
bers and restoring true home rule
to our State 1t had the hardest
struggle to wage, and has since
had the most difficult task to keer
in suppression the elements oi
misrule. 1t is q long time ago
but we are inpelled to remind our
