The committee on resolutions, by it's
chairman, A. D. Smith, reported the
following resolutions, which were
adopted:
We, the Democrats Of Hennepin county, in
convention assembled, declare our allegiance
to the principles and policies enunciated in
the Chicago platform of 1896. While we de-
clare approval of all the different sec
lions of that memorable document, we espe-
cially indorse that portion which declares
for the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 and which
recognizes it as the paramount issue of the
coming presidential campaign.
While the Democratic party never retraceS
it's steps, and, while we are unqualifedly
and unalterably in favor of the platform of
1892, which declared in favor of tariff for rev.
enue only, we recognize the question at this
time as wholly subordinate and insignificant
in comparison with the all-absorbing ques-
ton of the hour, the financial independence
Of the United States and the restoration of
the bimetallic system as it existed prior to
1873.
We recognize the fact that in the coming
election party lines will be considerably brok-
en- and that parties will be disorganiZed and
that, while we may lose a small portion of
those voters who have affiliated in the past
with our party yet we know that we will
receive large accessions from our old political
adversaries, whose inclinations have been
and still are Democratic, and who will be in
the future acting in unison and harmony
with us in our struggle with the money
power of the old world and the new; and
hereby pledge ourselves to unite with all
forces arrayed with us In this great ISSUE
We welcome those new converts to Demo-
cratic principles and in furtherance of the
common design, in aid of the common pur
pose to elect our standard bearers, William
J. Bryan and Arthur P: Sewall, to the Offices
for which they have been named, rec
ommend the nomination Of Hon. John Lind
for governor of the state Of Minnesota, recog
nizing his great ability, his integrity and
his honest adherence to true Democratic
principles in the past, and recommend
that in the coming state convention our
votes be cast for him unit
We hereby condemn all indirect threats
which may be embodied in published letters
by employers of men to their employees with a
view to intimidating them in the free express
sion of their opinion on the great question
now before the people.
f. L. Pratt moved the appointment
of committee Of seven by the chair
whose duty it should be to arrange
for a mass meeting to be held on the
evening before the state convention, or
the evening after it, to be addressed
by w. w Erwin, of ST. Paul, and other
speakers. The motion was adopted and
the chairman appointed c. NJ Fcota
Lars M. Rand, William Baldwin, E.
J. Conroy, c. A Quist, Albert Christel-
10, r. L. Pratt.
S. A. Stockwell, of the Twelfth ward
moved that the county committee be in
structed to confer with the county
committee of the Populist party, with
regard to having their c0nya ions l:pon
the same day, with a view to a fusion
Oil the county ticket.
Ed A. Stevens made the point that
the convention could not instruct the
county committee, but that It might
request it so to do. This was Guibbled
over a moment and then adopted as
amended by Mr.. Stevens suggestion
A further step toward fusion with the
PopulistS was a resolution introduced
by Mr.. Blocker as follows:
In view Of the great Importance of secur-
ing majority in the next congress to CO.
operate with a Democratic president in re-
storing the free coinage of gold and silver
ourselves in favor of the union of all BIZ
metallic forces for the election of Hon. s.
M. Owen as our next representative in con-
gress from this district.
This was adopted without debate tr
dissenting voice. A es1lirion recon-
mending Julius J. Heinrich to the state
convention, as secretary of state,
was opposed by Col Glenn, on the
ground of bad politics, and YVES referred
to the Hennepin delegation without
recommendation.
