upon the problems which now agitate the
passing away. The bloody shirt IS no
longer waved with the ferocity and fury of
a few years ago. The issues of to-day are
practical issues. The question of the cur
rency, sound money and sound credit, the
question of the relations of labor to capital,
that labor shall not be suGservient to capital
nor capital to labor, but that they shall
work hand in hand, promoting the common
interest of both and the common prosperity
of the country; the questions of direct and
indirect taxation and the removal of the
burdens which were introduced in time
of war and have been continued in time
of peace; the foreign relations Of this great
Government with other powers of the earth:
commercial relations, relations involving
questions of international law and inter-
national right; all of these and many other
questions are now in front, and it is a
period when practical legislation is very
much needed. In your interest and in the
interest of the common country pledge
myself to the faithful consideration of these
questions and to decide and act upon them
to the good Qfmy constituency and the COM
mon goc' If our country. Thanking you
again for this mark of your faith, 1 shall 60

by the events of this day.
Mr. Dibble's remarks were frequently
punctuated with enthusiastic applause,
and at their conclusion were followed
by long and continued cheering.
ENDORSTOG PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
Mr.. Bryan then rose and said that it
gave him great pleasure to hear an en-
dorscment CT President Clereland'S
Administration by our representative
in Congress. That Administration had
done much for the Democratic party.
1t had done SO much, in fact, that he
believed the Democracy would be again
successful two years hence. lie thought
that this was in Il great measure due to
the wise and conservative ability dis
played by Mr. Cleveland, and he thought
that in this national convention, for it
was Il national convention, they should
take some recognition OF the service
Which he had rendered his party, and
that, too, in Il direction which few
supposed would be carried out when
the civil service plank was put into the
Democratic platform two years ago.
lie would, therefore, offer resolution
that this Convention endorse civil
service reform as enforced by PreSi-
dent Cleveland.
CONVENTION VERSUS PRIMARY.
Mr.. Bryan's resolution was unani-
mously adopted. lie then called the
attention of the Convention to the re-
cent amendment made by the State
Convention to the constitution of the
party, making it optional with the
Confessional districts whether the
nomination Of the congressman should
hereafter be made 10y primaries or ly
convention as at present. lie said that
he would like to have the sense Of the
Convention in this matter, rs guide
for them to act by in calling future
conventions. . Hearing no expression
of opinion on the subject. he said that
he would offer the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That it is the sense of this
Convention that the conventional system
heretofore used in the nominating of Con-
pressmen is the best method for this Con-
grcssional district.
Mr.. Fishburne said that he was u
primary man and had fought very hard
for the primary system because he
really believed it WAS the best thing
for his county, but that in the nOminat-.
ing Of Congressman and State officers
he really believed that the Convention
plan was the best.
The resolution was then put to the
vote and unanimously adopted.
On motion Of Mr.. laysor resolu-
ton was passed thanking the officers
of the Convention for their efficient
services, after which the Convention
adjourned.
