The committee on resolutions re-
ported as follows:
WHEREAS, The decentralization act, sug-
gested and instigated by foreign Insurers
and money Lenders, and perpetrated and
consummated by Republican admins
tration in 1873, demoralized all prOduc-
tive business of the country, and depre-
ciated all property but gold from 50 to
so per cent, and
WHEREAS, The Republican party has
had power to do so at any time from that
date to the present, but has persistently
refused to undo the wrong by rehabilitat-
ing silver, and still persists in such re-
refusal, therefore.
Resoired, That we and each of US hereby
pledge ourselves that we will not hence
forth, until silver coinage is established
on perfectly equal terms With gold, vote
for any man, no matter by what party
nominated for president, vice president
or for any other Office of honor or in
fuence, who is not fully identified with
and committed to the reconciliation of
silver, and pledged to its support by the
plain, direct and unequiyocal language of
the national platform of his party; but IN
case no party shall declare for free coin
age, then we will not be bound by this
pledge.
Resolced, That We arraign the present
congress for having violated its pledges
to the people and betrayed the trust re-
reposed in it by the Democratic public,
in refusing to pass the Bland bill, and we
demand its passage.
Resolred, That while we regard the
tariff in it's present form as most bur-
densome and ubiquitous measure that
should be wiped from our statute books
at the earliest opportunity, and will work
faithfully and all of the time for the ac-
complement of that good purpose, we
yet hold reconciliation to be paramount
to all other issues. and demand for 1t
precedence over all other work.
Resolred, That the choice of this con-
vention for delegates to Pocatello and to
Chicago must be men who hold free and
unrestricted coinage of silver to be para
mount to ell other issues now before the
country, and must state their positions in
accordance herewith before being en-
dorsed by this convention.
Resolcod, That we affirm our allegiance
to the principles of the Democratic party
and government of the people, for the
people and by the people, and we believe
that the aim of all legislation should be
for the greatest good Of all the people.
and not for the benefit Of Q few against
the many.
R<solced, That we heartily commend
and endorse the work performed BY Hon.
Richard P. Bland of Missouri.
Rxsolced, That the delegates to De
chosen at this time to the Pocatello con-
vcntion and to the state convention at
Boise city, be instructed to vote for no
one but such ~ are known to be une4ulv-
ocal free coinage men.
