Resolutions;
We the Democrats of the fourteenth
representative district, now in conven-
tion assembled, endorse the resolu-
tions as promulgated by our late Dem
ocratic county convention.
We heartily endorse the action of
Governor Renfrow, by which the at
tempted corrupt gerrymander of our
legislative districts wasprevented.
We denounc the late Republican
legislative convention for this district
for passing resolutions favoring legis-
lation to enforce mixed schools in this
territory and not having the manhood
to pub blish the same; therefore be it
resolved that the Democrats of this
district do now most heartily condemn
Sucn proposed legislation.
We recommend that the next legis-
lature pass such laws as will amply
protect persons now holding leases on
school lands IN territory in their prop
erty rights, and at the same time place
such school lands on the market for
leasing purposes so as to derive as
much revenue therefrom as practica-
BILE.

and explicit terms as can not be mis-
understood, just and reasonable fee

of public officers in this territory, to-

lation Of the same.

Keaton, A. j. Schnell and E. d. Nix.
