The committee on resolutions pre-
sented the following report, which
was accepted:
RESOLVED, That we endorse Grover
Cleveland upon his tariff reform re-
cord, clean and economic administra-
tion, and the platform adopted by the
Chicago National convention.
1St. We favor tariff that, while
it protects labor, will give sufficient
revenue for the necessities of the gov
eminent, economically administered.
I'd. The Mckinley tariff is an un-
just and unwarranted discrimination
in favor OF the rich, nurtures and en-
| cOurageS combines, and the many ex-
listing trusts are it's natural results,
while it has not in single known in
stance worked an advance in the price
of labor.
3rd. That the Republican party
is ever mindful of the interests of
wealthy corporations, while in it's
neglect to put binding Irvine upon the
free list it has been neglectful of the
most pressing needs of the farmer.
4th. That we endorse the Demo-
cratic state platform and promise our
hearty support to the ticket placed
upon it. In the naming of Hon. d.
w. Lawler, who wears no mans col
lar, we have an assurance of an ad-
miniStratiOn, free from corporation
control and in the best interests of
the people.
9Th. We hereby pledge our NOM
inees for legislative representatives to
earnestly labor for reform in our
system of building public roads, and
also to the end that permanent road
fund be created to build and improve
roads by equitable taxes levied upon
corporations not now bearing their
share of the public burdens and from
the sale of public lands belonging to
the state.
9Th. That under the policy of the
Republican party the wheat market
of this state has been practically de-
strOyed by the sitting of all competi-
ton, and placing it's complete control
in the hands of the millers, elevators
and railroads: that we look TO Dem
cratic state administration and a
Democratic legislature for thorough
reform in adjusting existing abuses
to the end that honest weights, fair
grades and a free and open market
may once more be restored to the far
merS of Minnesota.
John Diamond offered the following
resolution: That while we deem Judi
cial offices properly nonpartisan, we
recognize in Judge M. J. Severance
an upright and honorable exponent of
the cause of justice and a gentleman
above reproach.
This was accepted:
Mr.. Diamond also offered the follow
ing:
WHEREAS, The common schools of
this country is an institution which
closely effects the social, moral and
intellectual welfare Of our people, land
every party and creed; and
WHEREAS, 1t is by law made the
duty Of the people of Blue Earth
county to select an incumbent for the
office of county uperintendent of
schools for Blue Earth county in this
year of A. D.. 1892: Therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we, the Democrats
of said county of Blue Earth, in dele
gate convention assembled, do hereby
declare that we favor taking the ques-
tion of our public schools out of the
arena of politics and beyond the in

ResOtved, That pursuant to these
sentiments, we do endorse the nomin-
alton of Mrs. S. G. Stevens for the
said office of county superintendent
of schools as a non-partisan candi-
date, and direct her name to be in
serted on the county ticket, as such.
Chas O'COnnOr opposed the resolu-
tiOn, as there was a candidate in the
party. Mrs. Stevens has made fail.
ure inseperable from any office r of
