The Committee on Resolutions reported
as follows:
Resolred, That we most heartily and cordially
1ndorse the administration of President Cleye-
land, and look with pride to the fact thar he
to the principles of the Democratic party as
enunciated in the Chicago National Conyen-
ton: and
WHEREAS By the inscrutable hand of Proyi-
dence those illustrious patriots soldiers and
statesmen, Samuel J. Tilden, Thomas A. Hen
dricSs and Generals George B. Mcclellan and
w. S. Hancock, have been called from their
earthly duties to receive their rewards for the
great services they have rendered to their
country; therefore,
Resoired, That in their deaths the people of
cd tota IN hni dc
and defenders and the Democratic party its
wisest counselors and abest leaders.
Resotred, That it is with feelings of the deepest
regret that we are called upon to vindicate the
principles OF our party against the action of the
majority of the County Central Committee. who
have bolted from the party that had confded to
them the administration of its laws, and had
arbitrarily, and in fragrant defiance of the in
structions given them by the County Conven-
ton that created them, and in violation of that
plank of the Democratic State plat
That we condemn the practice of
electing by County Central Committees dele
gates to Conventions as contrary to every prin-
ciple of Democracy and in violation of the
rights of the Democracy of this county, and
against their protests and well-Ruown wishes
ReS0lred, That, in the betrayal of their trust,
and in the violation of the laws of our party,
they have placed themselves beyond its pales,
and the Democracy of this county, represented
in this Convention, will never submit to this
dastardly attempt at revolution, but will stand
in solid phalanX and boldly and fearlessly fight
the foes of their party, whether they are found
in Central Committees or elsewhere, until the
principles of their platform are vindicated.
The resolutions were adopted with great
enthusiasm, the members of the Conven-
ton rising to their feet.
On motion of General Carey, an assess
ment of fifty cents per capita was levied
and collected to defray the expenses of the
Convention.
DELEGATES TO THE STATE CONVENTION.
Charles R. Parsons moved that the Con-
vention proceed to elect fourteen delegates
to the State Convention-four from the
county at large, and two from each Super
visor district. Carried.
For delegates at large, Mr.. Parsons NOM
mated the following named gentlemen
Hon. Fred. Cox, Hon. n. Greene Curtis, A.
G. Hinkson and DR.. James Caples. These
nominations were seconded by T. D. Shir-
land.
Mr.. Hinkson said he hoped the Conven-
ton would not hesitate to substitute the
name of some other gentleman for his if by
so doing it could add strength TO the dele
CATION, for he had no personal desire for
the distinction.
The four gentlemen named were elected
by reclamation.
Recess for fifteen minutes.

stitute the County Central Committee:

ENDORSEMENT FROM ABROAD.
A. c. Hinkson announced to the Con-
vention that he had received q telegram
from prominent Democrat at Vallejo to
the effect that the Soano County Dem
ocracy, in Convention assembled, had this
day openly condemned the usurpation of
power by county committees to the extent
of depriving the voters of the party of the
right to select their delegates to nominating
Conventions.
The announcement was greeted with
cheers.
A PARTING SHOT AT REPUBLICANS.
General Carey asked permission to say
few words before the Convention ad-
iourned. He said he hoped to see every
delegate present again on hand on the DIST
of next month, when the Convention
would again meet to complete its |
work. If" he said, Eve should be |
recognized by the State Conven-
of the Democracy of this county, then we |
because brighter dawn was never beheld |
than that which is now breaking before the |
Democratic party" He believed that it |
was within the power of the party to elect |
every candidate on the ticket, from Senator |
to Constable. There was never a time in |
the history of the party-if we might ex-
cept the present little difficulty resulting |
from the undemocratic action of a majority |
of the County Committee in attempting to |
rob the voters of their rights-when it was |
in better condition for action than it will
be in this coming campaign. Let every |
member of this Convention stand firm upon |
the ground taken by them oday, and all
the other Democrats will fail in and the
party will present a solid front TO the en-
envy. The Republicans are quarreling and
weakening their ranks, and the Democracy
can win if it will but keep one end in view
the common good of the party.
ADJOURNMENT.
On motion of Charles r. Parsons, the
Convention rendered vote of thanks to
the officers of the Convention.
The Convention then adjourned until
September Dist after giving three rousing
cheers for President Cleveland and the
Democratic party.
