Democratic county convention.

Democratic County Convention.
Called 10 order by chairman X. X. Little,
at II o'clock.
Mr.. Mahlon Hamlin OF Cataw issa was
named as chairman Of the convention.
Mr.. J. q. Miller Of Main and II. M. Evans
Of Briarcreek were chosen as secretaries.
MIR. Grant y. Herring was named as read
ing clerk of the convention. A message
was sent for Mr.. Herring and during the
interval Mr.. Buckalew was called and
gave few remarks extending thanks to
his fellow citizens for endorsing his past
by naming him again as a candidate. He
spoke In glowing terms Of President Cleve-
land and of the Presidents position In en-
deay yoring to reduce taxation He says the
President has defined his position In refer
ence to the reduction Of taxation, and 1t
was being responded to by people of all
classes. The House OF Representatives
has taken the first step by the passage of
the Mills bill. This bill means cheaper
clothing, cheaper food, cheaper lumber
The Democratic party has placed itself on
the side Of reduction Of taxation--in oppo-
sition to an overlooking treasury and fos-
tering monopolies. He said he met u man
few days ago, at depot, and when he
asked him what he paid for his suit Of
clothing, he answered $40. He. was told
it was SO more. than he should have paid.
Two dollars for his suit went into the gov
ernment treasury. He illustrated that 1t
would be so on all woolen goods and that
we might justly conclude reduction Of
from 30 to 25 per cent in the retail
price of wooden goods. The position which
President Cleveland and the Democratic
party has taken will endure for years. 1t
is not possible that monopoly can succeed.
When the issues now raised are understood
by the people they will give such vote as
the necessity Of reduction of taxation
demands from the people of the United
States. Mr. Buckalew was heartily ap.
plauded for his few remarks.
Mr.. Herring having come into the con-
vention requested that the name of F. p.
Billmcyer be substituted In his stead. Mr..
Billmeyer taking the floor read the list Of
delegates and members of the standing
committee as follows:
