Convention called to order by the

The report Of the committee on reso-
lutions was read by the secretary, and
on motion was adopted. They are as
follows:
The Democratic party of Cavalier
County in convention assembled, re-
affiirms its faith in and allegiance to
the great party of Jefferson and Jack
son, and endorses most heartily the
Democratic platform of principles
adopted by the National Democratic
party at Chicago; and pledges it's united
energies to the maintenance and sup
port of National Democracy believing
that the interests of the masses of
American people will be best subserved
by the election of Grover Cleveland.
We maintain that the Democratic
party from it's inception has advocated
popular suffrages and that it has al
ways made the cause of the common
people, it's cause; We urge that the
people never for moment lose sight
Of those vital interests underlying our
free institutions, and we therefore de-
nounce the policy of the Republican
party which would commit this country
to the federal control of election, by
means of the iniquitous Force Bill.
We as fractional part of National
Democracy insist that Cavalier county
and the State Of North Dakota in. her
agricultural interests can never possi-
bly, hope to be benefited one cent by
the present system of tariff taxation,
and on the contrary maintaining that
we sell our products at the worlds
prices in free trade market, and are
forced to buy our supplies at fictitious
prices in a protected market, created
in class interests, denounce. the So
called Mckinley bill as derogatory to
agricultural interests everywhere in
America, and as not calculated to fur
ther the interests of the common peo-
pie, who create products and buy the
supplies Of life.
We denounce the pretensions of Re-
publican politicians in their claims that
protection aids labor, and point to the
deplorable condition of things at Home
stead, and throughout Pennsylvania
and New York, where OO,OOO working
men are in state of riot, fighting
against reductions in wages and for
the preservation of their unions as eyi-
dence that labor itself has no faith in
these pretensions.
Resolved: That we denounce the
Republican party of this state for the
manner in which they have lent them
selves on all occasions to further the
interests of Railroad and Elevator
corporations,
Resolved: That we pledge our rep
resentatives to the Legislature to secure
for farmers suitable shipping facilities
at all stations, and upon all railroads
wherever practicable, and aid in releas.
