Resolved, That we congratulate Judge Lynch
and the other Democratic candidates of 1891,
upon their triumphant election, and we ask
their cooperation, and that of all other good
Democrats, and pledge our own in framing
another well selected and invincible ticket for
1892, that shall give us proper recognition and
representation to all sections of the county and
all nationalties of the voters.
Resolved, That we urge upon all people in
terested exact compliance with the provisions
of the two weeks pay bill. not only as a
measure of justice to the workingmen, but
because it is of vital and overshadowing i'm
portance that no class of our people, rich and
powerful shall be permitted to disobey and set
at defiance the law of the land
Resolved, That we await in unquestioning
confidence, the result of the judicial investiga-
tion in the details, of the so called Reading
deal" now being made under the direction of
the Governor of the State, in the firm belief
that the interests of the people under the con-
stitution and the laws are safe in his hands.
Resolved, That we note with pride and
pleasure the increasing disposition in all por-
tions of the country, to turn to Pennsylvania
for the Democratic candidate for President.
and we voice as we believe, the hopes wishes
and prayers of more than majority of the
voters of the state, when we name as an ideal
candidate to stand on the Democratic platform
of honest taxation and honest money, the
honest and honorable Governor of Pennsyl-
vania, Robert e. Pattison.
Resolved, That the delegates elected by this
convention be instructed to vote for a lower
end delegate to the Democratic National Con-
venton.
Resolved, That we condemn the action of
Judge Woodward in appointing prison COM
missioner who voted to keep in Office Thomas
Haines, Republican, and that we commend
the stand taken by Judge Lynch.
An attempt to amend the fourth para
graph by inserting Cleveland's name in
stead of Pattson's was lost by vote of
% to 10. 1t was decided that the calls
for such conventions be advertised here
after in all the Democratic papers in the
district. This was done because very
few of the Freeland and Foster people
knew anything about the convention,
and they intend to have a say in these
gatherings in the future.
For delegates to the State Convention
the only names offered were Wm F.
Boyle, Freeland; Matthew Long and
Anthony Riley, Hazleton. They were
sent uninstructed. The convention will
he held at Harrisburg on April l3, when
