RESOLUTIONS:
The Democrats of Portage County, in conVen-
tion assembled, adopt the followin resolutions:
REsoLvED-That we heartily endorse the
wise and patriotic administration of our Chief
Executive, Governor Campbell.
REsoLvED-That we denounce the Mckinley
Tariff bill as measure calculated to foster the
monopol1es at the expense of the masses and is
a system of legalized robbery.
RESOLVED That the Federal Election Bill,
now pending in Congress, is direct assault
upon the independent sovereignty of the States
with reference to their own local affairs, and
upon the individual rights of the citizens, and
w
tralization and Imperialism yet proposed by the
Republican party.
RESOLvED-That the recent Rules adopted by
the House of Representatives, empowering the
| Speaker to declare quorum at his own discre-
| tion, is a dangerous departure from the rules
| and regulations governing the proceedings of
Congress for the last century and is designed to
| destroy the rights OF the minority and to pre-
vent free discussion. and is one more link in
the chain of i'm oerialism toward which the Re
publican party is now tending.
REsoLvED-That we heartily support the
ticket this day nominated.
