Committee on resolutions reported
as follows:
Resolved, that in the event of any
vacancy happening before the general
election November next, in any Office
for which nomination has not been
made by this convention that the
standing committee be hereby author
lied to place in nomination a candi-
date for such Office or offices.
Resolued, by the representatives of
the Democratic party Of Columbia
county in convention assembled, that
we reaffirm our allegiance to the prin.
ciples Of the party as formulated by
Jefferson and exemplified by the long
and illustrious line of his successors in
Democratic leadership.
2. That we reafflrm our abiding
faith in the principles of the Chicago
platform, upon which the last and
greatest of Democratic presidents was
elected.
3. We denounce the robber tariff
laws of McKinly and the Silver Pur-
chasing act Of Sherman and recon-
mend the speedy repeal Of both
4. We denounce the calamity howl
ers of the Republican party, whose
vicious legislation has we'll nigh plunged
the country into ruin and brought her
business interests to the very verge of
panic and disaster.
S. We turn with fast hope and reas.
surance to the wise and statesmanlike
policy of the President and his able
Secretary Of the Treasury, who hare
averted disaster and are now gradually
succeeding in their efforts to turn the
stream of commerce and business into
their accustomed channels.
6. We derive additional hope from
the fact that a spscial session of the
American Congress is now in session,
and that at least one of the causes of
the present business depression, will,
by that Congress composed largely Of
Democrats. be speedily repealed.
:. We believe with Gen. McKen-
zie of Kentucky "That President
Cleveland is the persistent advocate
of everything on Gods green earth
that is right, and the persistent oppo-
nent Of everything that is wrong, and
that he wants to see the blessings of
civilization and religious liberty pre-
vail in this land.
"And that the Republican party
has levied tax upon everything that
enters into the consumption of the
average household except air, sun
shine and water and the only reason
why they haven't taxed those articles
is because nobody in New England is
engaged in the manufacture of any
one of them; and that if anybody in
New England ever sets up sunshine
factory, the Republican party will
start a report that God Almighty is
an Indifferent article of sun
shine and that it is initiating against
the dignity of American labor"
8. That we heartily endorse the
fearless and manly administration of
our Governor, Robt. f. Pattison, who
has demonstrated that public Office is
a public trust, and whose sole guide
in the administration of public affairs
has been the good of the whole peo-
pie of this Commonwealth, irrespec-
tive ofparty.
9. That we take this occasion to
express our great admiration for the
brilliant leadership of our National
Hon. VIM. f. Harrity, to
whose untiring efforts and powers of
most Of the credit Of the
late Democratic victory may justly be
ascribed.
10. That we hereby tender our
l. IL 4
