4. That copy of these resolu-
tions be transmitted by the presi-
dent and secretary of this meeting
to his excellency, the President of
the United States.
The resolutions we're received
with storm of applause which con-
tinued when Hon. George Clark was
called for.
Judge Clark said that the welfare
of the party and it's perpetuation
rose above silver and gold and could
not be estimated in money; that the
enemies of the party must be met at

The Doctor had associated with the
fathers of the ancient Democracy,
and he should know whereof he
