The committee in reporting said that it
had considered the question of the dis
putting delegations in the Second precinct
OF the Second ward, and had concluded
to recommend that both be sealed.
Dr.tJ. H. Bryant moved that the re-
port be adopted.
Mr.. Welch asked that note from Mr..
Sidney Lacey in relation to the Second
precinct caucus be read.
Mr.. Levy said that he did not think
that the note should be read any more
than other letters on the same subject.
Mr.. Layton of the committee, said that
the committee had read letters from both
sides and had carefully considered them
before making its report.

ment to have the note read was in
order.

ton. 1t returned shortly afterwards and

Mr.. Layton moved that the convention
proceed with its regular order of busi-
ness, but on the suggestion of j. J. Mel
lus the motion was Withdrawn until the

Marion Brooks read the following
PLATFORM AND RESOLUTIONS:
WHEREAS, The Democracy of the city of Los
Angeles should be congratulated upon the fact
that, although defeated in the late National
campaign, 1t has not in the last weakened its
power or lessened its zeal in the great battle
for principle and right; and
power in Los Angeles city from the 1st of jan
uary, 1885, to the LIST of January, 1888; it had
its Mayors; 1t was supreme in the Council, and
it had its Chiefs of Police. yet never in the his
tory of this city was gambling SO open and de-
hant, never was crime so rife and audacious
and never was the peaceful citizen 80 subject
to the attacks of midnight lufRans and his
property so at the mercy of thieves; therefore,
Resolred, That the Democracy of Los Angeles,
true TO the interests of their party, in favor
OF that policy in local government which will
maintain the good order of society and secure
every citizen in the enjoyment of his rights;
and 70 this end we declare that all ordinances
having for their object the suppression of vice
and the closing Of disorderly houses, shall be
strictly and rigidly enforced by the police arm
of the municipal government.
RESOLVED, That, whilst we do not object to the
liquor bu iness as it will bear, on the principle
of increasing the municipal revenue from the
traffic in non-essentials, we are opposed
disorderly dens may flourish If they will
only pay enough for the privilege The De-
mocracy OF Los Angeles do not believe in en-.
are firm in their belief that the way to suppress
resorts obnoxious to good order and to public
morals is to revoke their licenses and sum-
marlly close them.
Los Angeles are in favor of liberal expenditures,
under proper system of check, for pu blic i'm
provements; in increasing the facilities of our
public schools; in improving our streets; in
constructing perfect system of sewers, and in
such other public works as our progressive and
growing city demands.

declined the nomination, and the first
