! Whereas, it is proper that tho
people composing the Democratic
party IN primary meetings Assem-,
bled should give expression to
their views and wishes tor the
guidance of such delegates as they
may send to represent them in the
councils OF the party; therefore be
il resolved.
| l. That We have seen with alarm
both the unjust encrOachmCntS and
cXactlons of corporate power, and
the unlawful disturbance of indi-
vidualS who have mistaken the
remedy for what wrongs they may
have; such 4 condition of affairs Is
hurttul to the interest of the entire
country, and it is necessary that
there should be wise statesman
ship and strong executive ability
at the head of our state govern
mcnt in order to discern the re-
qulremonts of the people and to
enforce the laws.
.. Without further expressing
ourselves rs TO the great questions
now before the people, We suggest
the Hon. d. c. Giddings rs Il can.
dldatc for the nomination for gov
ernor by the Democratic convcn-
ton soon TO assemble. The Hon.
D. c. Glddings will meet the re-
quiremcnts of tho office rs fully as
any man in tho state; his services
to the people and his party make
him in merit second to none.
3. The delegates from this meeting
to tho county convention are IN

Hon. d. G. GIddings before said
convention rs candidate for gov
