LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 49, 1884,

this object, and its selfish attempt to
prevent the construction OF the hsr Dor
at that place.
Sixth-We approve and commend the
able and efficient services of our ssna-
tor, the Hon. Stephen NJ. White.
Seventh-We favor the election of
United States senators by direct vote
Of the people.
| Eighth-We commend the wise, pa
triotic and conservative course of the
president in the late disturbances in this
country.
Ninth-We sympathize with the ef.
forts of honest labor in all legal attempts
to emancipate itself from the oppression
of capital, and favor the passage OF such
laws as will remove such differences and
adjust them when they arise.
Tenth--We declare our continued ad-
hesion to the great principle OF religious
liberty az enuncisted in Article vi of
the constitution of the United States, in
the language following:
mo religious test shall ever be re-
quired az qualification to any Office or
public trust under the United States"
And we hold that the same prin ciple
should be applied to all state. 90 unity
and municipal Offices.
We also declare our unqualified adj
hesion to the provisions OF section S,
article IN, of the constitution OF Cali.
fornia, which is as follows:
mo public money shall ever be ap.
propriated for the support OF any sectar.
ian or UNCONVENTIONAL school, or any
school not under the exclusive control OF
the officers OF the public schools; nor
shall any sectarian or UNCONVENTIONAL
doctrine be taught, or instruction there
on be permitted, directly or indirectly,
in any Of the common schools Of this
state"
Eieventh-Under the settled policy OF
the government OF the United States to
raise the revenue BY means of duties on
imports, a heavy and disproportionRte
taxation is necessarily imposed upon the
poor and upon people OF moderate
means, and the rich are exempt from
their due share OF the burdens of gov
eminent. We therefore approve Of the
policy of an income tax. as provided in
the pending revenue bill before congress.

the following resolution as an amend.

We commend the course of Hon.

forts Of trusts to control legislation;

MR.. KATZ'S LITTLE MOTION.

walked down the middle aisle. and,
throwing open his Prince Albert coat
and pointing his finger at George S.
Patton, said in deep and earnest accents
with the strident emphasis OF well-fed
bull of Bsshan:
| MIR. Cannon represents the Demo-
cratic party. He was nominated for
congress- by George 8. Patton, and his
nomination was secured by the active
fundamentally of Senator Stephen M.

had to send your requests to Mr.. Cannon
irst and last to Senator White"
"You are right, Brooks" shouted
scores of delegates from all parts Of the
house.
"Mr. Cannon has been sealed ~ q
Democrat by leaders of the party, and

voted for the repeal of the Sherman act,
for the election of a Democratic speaker,
and has stood by the platform of $780,"
Tremendous applause.
Mr.. Hopper of Hoppersvlle- know
Cannon. He is a good Democrat and
we ought to stand by him IS well as
