RESOLVE In PLAIN LANGUAGE.
Grover Cleveland's Financial Policy
Condemned In Strong English.
The Democratic County convention was
called to order at Higginsville, Monday.
The greatest enthusiasm wal mani
tested. The delegates were all substantial
democrats. The delegation elected to 20
to Pertle Springs is one of the strongest
ever sent from the county.
The ''gold bug" element did not attend
the convention. They did not want any
thing to do with It; not that it was irreg-
ular, but because they recognized that
they were largely in the minority, and
did not want to submit to result. The
gold bug" papers of the county used
their influence TO keep democrats away
from the convention, but their effort now
urns out to be q most miserable failure.
The convention was regularly held by
the authority Of he state and county
committees and wa. .,,i.,.c,o-v 10 ~.
