THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The UEMUCkATlC CONtENT1VN.
The democratic Convention at the

attended, every township in the.coun-
ty being represented. 1t was organ
lied by the election of C. E. Benton,
chairman, and A. H. Campbell, secre-
tary, all the honors going as usual, to

While waiting for the reports of the
committees there were several speeches
made, but we were not present and are
unatle to secure full report. We are
told, however, that the chairman of
the Convention spoke of the proneness
of the republicans of Allen county to
make fools of themselves. We presume
he alluded to the several occasions in
the past when the republicans elected
democratic candidates to office; and he
undoubtedly called such action by its
right name.
The committee on resolutions report
ed the following:
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the Administration of President Cleve-
land and favor without reserve or
restraint his denomination and re-elec-
ton.
Resolved, That We deprecate an
economic system that gives Special
privileges to certain classes Of citizens;
and that we most heartily approve the
message of President Cleveland to
Congress i'm which q remedyfOr present
hardships was plainly pointed out.
Resolaed, that we favor the selec-
ton of Geo. w. Click, the only demo.
cratic governor Kansas ever had, to be
delegate at large to the St. Louis con.
vention.
Resolved, That we believe Dan.
Voorhees, told the truth when he said
Ingalls, was great liar.
Resolved, That we view with dis
gust the endorsement in advance" so
lately practiced by the republicans of
this county; and consider it q complete
surrender of manhood and intelligent
freedom. Especially to endorse in
advance the speech of man who had
just prior to the endorsement called
Winfield Scott Hancock traitor.
