ReSoIUed, That for the purpose of
securing the administration of public
affairs upon Democratic principles,
we believe that prudence and COM
mon sense dictates that it is best to
select for official stations men whose
time and talents have been devoted
to the service Of the people, in prefer
ence to the agents and employees of
corporations.
Resolved, That offices were created
for the public good, and, therefore,
no man should be elected or appoint
ed as a personal favor.
ReSoJUed, That all elections and APP

majority, therefore the party inpower
has the right and ought to select the
officers to execute the laws.
Resolved, That the Democracy of
Warren county adhere to the princi-
Piles of the Democratic party set forth
and adopted in the platform at Chi
cago in 1854, and endorse the admin
istration of President Cleveland.
Resolved, That the Democracy of
Warren county endorse the admins
tration of Gov. Bate.
