We. the independent reform Democracy of
Ramsey county, Mimi, do now, in conven-

of Thomas jefferson and his successors in
political leadership, and especially to the
principles enumerated in the platform re-
Gently adopted by the national Democratic
convention held in the city or st. Louis,
in the state of Missouri, and the platform
adopted Dy the recent state convention of
our party.
We adopt and reaffirm all the statements
set forth in the public address issued by the
county committee last Saturday and pub
lished in the daily newspapers the day fol-
lowing.
Resolved, That intelligence, industry and
morality are the essential foundation of
good government and public welfare. We
therefore approve all measures having for
their object the amelioratIon of the manual
laborer whether such measures contemplate
and are calculated to effect larger rate of
wages, lessened hours of labor or greater
security for the prompt and certain collec-
ton of earnings.
Resolved, That the reforms which we have
advocated are essential TO the well-being of
the state, and we propose TO sustain them
at all hazards. This is no race forsoffice, but
a fight for principle. We appeal to the next
state legislature to protect by a complete
code of statute law, bristling with the arma-
ment of scientific enactment, the ballot and
the count of primary elections.
The first business of the evening was
the appointment of the nomInative COM
mittee.
The question required on the adop-
ton of the resolution, and quite a
Wrangle ensued. There were many

nor place another ticket in the field. A
vote was taken, and the mo ticket"
