ihe societies OF PennsyivanIa in Annual
Session mt Lancaster Thursday.
Lancaster Pa, Sept 5. THE seventh
annual general assembly of the Demo-
cratic Societies Of Pennsylvania met in
Mannarchor Hall, this city, to-day.
Representatives of Democratic organi-
cations from all parts of the State to
the number of about GOO were present
when President Chauncey +. Black
called the gathering to order, using his
famous gavel made of Monticello oak
and Hermitage hickory, which is sup
posed to embody the spirit of the Jack :,
sonian and Jetfersonian principles Of
Democracy.
The hall was decorated with the en-
blems OF the various clubs, and brass
band in the gallery helped to enliven
the proceedings.
Col. ID. F. Magee of Lancaster county
was chosen temporary chairman.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, by the Democratic Socie-
ties of Pennsylvania in general assem-
bly,, That we congratulate the people of
all classes and especially the wage
earners upon the general prosperity of
the country, the return of good times -
the revival of trade and Industry and
the universal employment of labor
under Democratic administration and
as direct result Of specific Democratic
measures.
That the late depression was in a
large degree the consequence of the
Sherman Silver Coinage act, repealed
by the Democratic Congress, and the
restrictions imposed upon production
and exchange by the Mckinley Tariff
law, removed by the Democratic Con-
gress and replaced with the Wilson bill,
under which our PROSTATE industries
have been revived and our commerce
extended, and under which our work.
ing men are receiving steady wages and
paying less than before for all the
necessaries of life.
That we reaffirm the platforms of the
last National and State Democratic
conventions; and further, especially
declare the perfect unanimity of the
Democracy OF Pennsylvania In favor of
tariff reform and sound money as
recommended and enforced by our
Democratic administration.
That we declare our undiminished
and abiding confidence in the wisdom
and patriotism of President Cleveland
and our great Secretary of State, John
G. Carlisle.
That we look to the Wilhamsport
nominating convention for clear,
ringing declaration upon State and Ma
tional issues, sustaining the sound,
honest and fearless administration Of
Grover Cleveland. and for ticket for
State treasurer and superior court
Judges composed of men whose names
Of themselves will command the public
confidence, and who will adorn the
offices in question should they be elect
ed. And to such ticket we pledge
our earnest support, from the day Of
the nomination to the day Of the cleo
ton, in full assurance that it is easily
within the powerh of the better class
of voters to elect it and place the
superior court above the fatal repoach
with which it is threatened.
Other resolutions adopted referred tc
State affairs.
