The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported as follows:
We the Democrats OF the Fourth Con-
crcssional district in convention assem-.
bled for the purpose OF electing dele.
yates to- represent US in the National
iDeifi ocfatic convention at Chicago on
June q, do hereby affirm our belief and
faith in the principles Of the Democratic
party as laid down and proclaimed by
its founders and adherents and as
affirmed in our platform at ST, Louis in
1SSS,.up which platform that grand
embodiment and exponent of tariff re-
form was nominated, and in whose
honest, patriotic and fearless admins
tration while our chief magistrate, and
every honest citizen Of this great re-
public may point with pride.
We heartily endorse our present rep
resentative in Congress, the Hon. Jas.
Capenart aud earnestly commend him
for his efforts in behalf Of that large
class OF our citizens, the overburdened
tax ridden farmers, in whose interest
not single act Of legislation has ever
been done by the Republican party.
We arraign and denounce the Repub-
lican party for its repeated and con-
tinued policy of class legislation in
favor OF few unjustly and highly pro-
tected industries. We denounce the
Republican party for its clandestine
demonstration Of silver in 1873, where
by the silver dollar lost its power as
circulating medium.
Resolred, That we demand that the
amount Of circulating medium be
speedily increased TO not less than $50
per capita;
Hon. Geo. S. Neal, of Cabell, offered
the following resolution, which was
adopted:
congressional district, in convention
assembled, endorse the able and. con-
scientious efforts OF our young and
learned senator, Charles ]. Faulkner,
and his colleagues in Congress, in their
defense of the grand principles Of
Democracy.
The delegates selected seem to favor
Cleveland rs tIrst choice, but the voice
OF the convention when the name OF
German was mentioned rang out long
and loud. There was considerable Of a
fight between Ex-Governor Jackson and
E. R. NTcGugin, which terminated in
the Penny Royal statesman coming out
on top.
DR.. B. II. Hoyt, OF Ravenswood, was
elected president OF the Democratic
clubs of the Fourth district, and B. B.
Harding, Of Cabell, secretary.
