that we indorse the Democratic National
Administration, with that lllustrlouS
statesman and patriot, Grover Cleveland,
at its head, in its efforts to bring about
tariff legislation, and to relieve the labor
ing and productive classes from the oner-
Gus burdens of taxation that have been
imposed upon them by many years OF
Republican rule and extravaganza.
',ResotUed, That we pledge our local
nominees to a retrenchment in county
affairs to the lowest possible figure con-
sistent with efficient service. and that we
call upon all good citizens TO rally, in
these troublous times. to the party that
has always proven itself the steadiast
friend OF lie people.
'ReSoLUeT, That we are opposed to all
efforts To bring religion into politics, or
Stitutlonal right or citizen to worship
God according to the dictates of his own
conscience. We favor both gold and
silver as the money Of the people; favor
such a regulation of transportation COM
