THE committee on resolutions
submitted the following:
FiHt. That the Democrats of
Garrett county in convention as
semblSd, declare that we endorse
the courage and fidelity of Presi-
dent Cleveland in his efforts to re-
store tbs country to sound finan-
cial balls, and for the immediate
repeal df the Sherman silver bill bv
which s. much disaster has come to
the business interests of the people,
and we @eplore the efforts of GER
tain Republican Senators from the
silver mining States In their efforts
to block legislation looking to this
relief which is so much needed !;
and that the wage Garner may be
paid an hdpest dollar and not Ge-
preciated honey which we declare
is the resuN of the Sherman law.
I'd. That I'VE favor the passage of
just and wise assessment law by
the next legislature, so that all
property within the State may pay
its proper proportion of the public
revenue and that no legislation may
be enacted that will have a tendency
to drive capital or money from our
State and that is so necessary for
the development of the varied in
dustries therein.
3d.eThat we favor more liberal
appropriations to the public schools
of our county, by both State and
county, so that our children may
reap the benefits from liberal edu-
cation.
4th. That we declare for an eco
nomical management of the finances
of our county, and that all unneces-
sary expenditures should be cut off.
5th. That we favor liberal pen
sions to all worthy veterans of the
late war for the union, and that the
pension roll should be one of honor
and that the government should not
be imposed upon by those who are
not worthy of the same and who
never rendered any service, but
played the part of the bounty
Jumpers.
9th. That we refer with pride to
the record made by the last Demo
cratic board of county commissio-
ners. from the fact that they ma
terially reduced taxation and les
sened the burdens of the people and
at the same time fostered and cared
for the interests of the public
schools by increasing the appropri
ations therefor.
The delegates Of the convention
were thrown into CONSERVATION
after it had adjourned by learning
tildb bllClI lOl bIlC
ate, Mr.. Will Miller, of Accident,
was not eligible, he being too young.
The word was passed around and
those of the delegates who had not
started for home were quickly
gathered together and Mr.. johnson
named in Mr.. Miller's stead.
Mr.. VIM. Hinebaugh, secretary
of the School Board, had been slated
for the position of clerk on the
ticket, but this gentleman knows a
good thing when he has it and de-
clined to allow his name used. If
this nomination had gone through
as it was planned, the position of
secretary to the School Board would
have}gone to some one out of a
"job1' and at this time out of the
county.
The ticket could have been
