A CHURCH VICTORY.
Brown County Endorses the Ad-
miniStration.

Special to the Globe.
ABERDEEN, OAK, April "a. The
county Democratic convent IN held here
to-day resulted in an administration
victory. Every precinct in Brown
county was represented, and the pro-
ceedings were marked by close attention
to the business on hand, skillful
marshaling of forces and no little par
Iiamentary sparring. While there was
no open work for Day, his sympathizers
would have been glad to see so-called
independent delegation sent to Water
town, that would have no good words
for Governor Church. Of the nine
delegates chosen three are from this
city. The delegates chosen are Mayor
G. M. L. Erwin, of GrOton; j. A.
Bowler, j. H. Taylor, M. NJ. Warner,
James Ringrose, l.. G. Johnson, G. n.
Harris, J. I. Flood and Fred 3. Smith.
The following resolutions were adopted
unanimously by the convention:
Resolved, That the Democratic party
of Brown county, in convention as
sembled, declares its allegiance to the
principles of the Democratic party as
promulgated by the last national Dem
ocratic convention, and more clearly
and specifically set forth by the master

States in his message to the Flftieth
congress. We are in favor of reduc-
ton of the tariff taxes to strict rev.
enue basis, and we in unmeasured
terms condemn the policy and laws
enacted by the Republican administra-
ton whereby millions of dollars are an
nually exacted from the producers of
the country, more than sufficient to de-
fray the expenses of a government adj
ministered with honesty and economy:
And for the congress of the United
States to ignore the warning
of President Cleveland and not
take immediate measures for the reduc-
ton of taxation, will be little less than
criminal neglect. We pledge our hearty
and cordial support to the territorial adj
ministration Of Gov. L. K. Church in
his laudable efforts to advance and
dignity the principles of pure Dem
ocracy. The Democratic party of Da-
kota should extend their thanks to
Senators Butler, Turpie and Vest and
to Hon. William M. Springer and the
