Democratic assembly were it otherwise For
fifteen hours-from ten o'clock yesterday un-
til one o'clock this moruing-the "unterri.

The committee on resolutions, of which
John ]. O'Connor, the efficient and obliging
clerk of the almshouse, was chairman, sub
mitted the following as the result of their
labors
The representatives of the Democracy of
Schuylkill county in convention assembled
reiterate their confidence in the justice and
wisdom of the Democratic. party principles as
declared in the National and State platforms.
ResolUed, That we record our appreciation
of and faith in the ability and integrity of
President Cleveland, and heartily endorse his
course as being for the best interests of the
whole country, thereby commencing itself to
the approval of every patriotic citizen.
ReSolUed, That the judici1us course of Gov
eTnOr Pattison has justified the anticipations
and predictions of his friends.
ResoLUed That the course of Congressman
Reilly meets with the approval of his consti
tuents.
ResolUed, That we approve the record of
Senator Monaghan, of the Thirteenth Dis
trict, and Representatives Dence and Fol-
weller, Of the Second and Third Districts, re
spectively.

the Muldoon ranks. The vote proved that
the latters forces were badly marsh allied, and

contest is sad disappointment to the class of
voters that make the Democratic maiorities
in this county possible.
The nomination of Folmer was looked
upon as a death blow to S. O. Kirk, but he
made the nomination for Prothonotary by
handsome majority. Kirk broke the strength
of the Folmer com zine, and John J. Toole
and Henry Scheurman were easily nominated
for Clerk of the Courts and Recorder re-
spectively.
1t required three ballots to decide the
choice of the convention for Register. The
first vote resulted as follows:
