RESOLUTIONS.
Mr.. CHAIRMAN your committee
| on platform and resolutions, submit
the following for your consideration
The Democracy Of Gallatin county in
convention assembled again rpnews its
declaration of allegiance to the grand
party whose history is almost contempor-
aneous with that of the government. and
since its organization has maintained its
integrity and been notably consistent
through all the vicissitudes and changes
incident to the development OF new
country.
We ag,in heartily endorse the re-
nomination ofthat able statesman Grover
Cleveland for President and that Of the
staunch and answering patriot, A. G.
Thurman, for Vice President and most
emphatically endorse the tariff reform
policy Of the Democratic party, which
has for its patriotic purpose the reduction
Of the "war taxes" and the betterment
of this great nation, whose merchant
marine is now second to the smallest
Kingdoms of Europe and whose protec-
tion policy is only beneficial to the rich
manufacturer.
/ 1hC VI llbii. " Sldi
of Butte, for Delegate to Congress, bv
the Democratic Territorial Convention,
meets with our highest commendation
and commands our undivided and untir-
ing support. In Mr.. Clark We recognize
an able exponent of Democratic prin
ciples, a son of Montana g, who willtire-
lessly work for every material interest
calculated to benefit every portion of this
great territory, and, not for any one Sec
tion to the detriment of the others. A
delegate whose special aim it will be to
throw open the vast Indian reservations
to settlement, insist upon Montanians
being appointed to the various Offices of
the territory, ,withinth gift Of the govern
ment, urge the early admission of Mon
tana territory into the Union of States,
and by "ceaseless effort merit the trus.
confidence reposed in him..
We sincerely condemn the purpose OF
the Republicans of allowing the county
roads and bridges of Gallatin county to
remain in state of impassibiity, con-
dition that compels the condemnation OF
every citizen at the present time and
We hereby pledge our support to the
policy of providing good roads and saft
bridges such as liberal, but not extrava
CANT policy would dictate.
We also pledge onr support 10 the
plan of providing free bridges at points
most accessible, that the people cf one
section of the country may not be unjust
" taxed BY tolls.
We further insist that the assessmen
Of taxes especially, shall be more
thoroughly and equitably made, and tina
the work shall be performed by an asses
sor competent to perform that duty
also that all the county Offices shall b.
occupied by men capable of filling them
men who will give their time and atten
ton to the offices and not commit tn
entire work of the positions to clerks
Respectfully submitted,
A. X. YERKEs,
JAMES II. KENNEL,
