Tie Democrats of Walsh county in
convention assembled, do unanimously
set forth the following resolutions:
First-We heartily indorse the career of
Grover Cleveland, as president of the United
States. His tirmness and discretion so aptlv
displayed serves the ratification of every
citizen, IRRESPECTIVE of party or politics.
Second-As Democratic citizens of Walsh
county, we heartily indorse the position
taken by President Cleveland relative to re-
isitn OF the tariff laws and asserting the
principle tariff for revenue only. We in
Ci,izens. throughout this great North
west believe that g high tariff ~ is
our enemy and we deprecate
the opposition now being made by the Re
publican members of congress in their en-
deavor to defeat an honest bill tending to an
honest revision of the tariff We believe
that their action in this opposition is with
out honest purpoge, and is asserted simply
Ter the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and selfish interests
OF The Republican party and its leaders, with
out regard for and without consulting the
wishes OF the masses. We denounce the Re-
publican party as being the agents and hire
ilngs of giant monopolies and trust COM
panies, whose purpose and intent, if carried
out, can but result in the enactment of laws
favoring these corporations and companies,
to the, exclusion of millions of citizens
throughout this country.
Third-We heartily indorse the administra-
ton of Louis X. Church as governor of Da-
keta, and pledge him our support in his en-
deavors to benefit this great territory by re-
form policy and honest government
FCurth-We fully indorse the platform of
the Democratic party as presented and ratified
at the national convention held at st. Louis.
and we strike hands with our. brothers
United States In hosting our banner in
seribed Honest Tariff, Honest Government,
and Cleveland and Thurman
We further announce ourselves as being In
favor of the admission of the whole territory
OF Dakota as one grand and mighty state.
On motion the chair appointed MessrS.
Marrinan, Cleve, Currie, Cronan and
Moore as committee to select twelve
delegates from this convention to attend
the territorial convention at James
town. A recess of twenty minutes was
taken to give the committee time to re-
