A RESOLUTION WHICH SHOULD BE
ADOPTED BY THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE CONVENTION.

The principles of Jetfers0nian
democracy as set forth in our State
platform Of 1892 were largely ig-
nored IN the formation of the De-
mocratic National platform at Chi
cago, and whereas the party us now
constituted is controlled and domi-
mated by class interests masquerading
under the name of democracy, which
class has used the executive and leg
islative branches of the government
to make even more oppressive the
30 years of iniquItOus Republican
financial legislation, and whereas
the platform has been interpreted
by that controlling class to mean a
single gold standard, and protection
to trusts and monopOlies at the ex-
pense of the people. Therefore,
Resolved, LIST, That we reindorse
the Democratic State platform of
1892 as representing the principles
of Jeffersonlan democracy that the
party in this State holds to and be-
lieveS in and will vote for.
Resolved, 2nd, That in as much as
the party can never give the people
relief or good government while con-
trolled by such Influences, that we
do here and now repudiate the Gro
yer Cleveland edition of democracy
and declare our political separation
and independence from the national
goldbug, monopoly, sugar trust ma
chine.
Resolved, 3rd, That we favor a
union of the South and the West
and do here and now invite them
and all men, irrespective of pas
party names or affiliations, who en-
dorse the cardinal principles as SCI
forth in the Democratic State plat
form of North Carolina in 1892, tC
meet with us in National conven
ton in 1896 to nominate candidate
for President and Vice President OF
these United States.
