The committee on resolutions offered
the following which was unanimously
adopted:
THE Democracy of Davis county, in
convention assembled, recognizing the
fact that the principles of government
for which they stand can never die,
hail with delight the coming national
campaign in which the national De-
mocracy will appeal to the people of
the United States to pass judgment
upon the doctrine for which they stand,
and the men their national conven
ton shall name for the high offices Of
president and vice-p president of these
United States.
I'VE believe the paramount political
issue now before the people of the
United States is the question of money,
involving the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of 16 to l.
We believe the constitution of the
United States contemplated that the
primary money of this country should
be OF gold and silver-not one, but both
and we denounce the Republican
legislation, which struck down one of
the money metals of their country, as
a fraud perpetrated upon the people
OF these United States and as an Of
Tense which proves them unworthy to
be entrusted with the political des-
TIMES Of a great nation.
We demand that the legislative
wrong committed by the Republican
party shall be rectified by the re-
monetization of silver, ana, therefore,
we favor the choosing OF delegates to
the national convention from the state
of Utah whose we'll known devotion to
the cause OF the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to l, and whose char
acter for firmness and incorruptibility
shall be a guarantee that Utah will be
found in the line of free silver states
in an uncompromising demand for the
restoration of constitutional money"

THAT LOST BRIDGE.
Tho latest ,,enor+c from, IEal,ar oap-
yon are to the effect that the mighty
river is still booming dangerously high
No trace has yet been found of the
Davis and Weber county wagon bridge
which was swept down the stream
early Sunday morning as previously
mentioned in The Herald. The bridge
was located just about half way
through the canyon and was a massive
structure made principally of iron.
Its loss is great calamity inasmuch
as all communication with Weber
valley by wagon is necessarily cut off,
and will remain so until another bridge
is erected. 1t is believed the bridge
hoated down the river about half a
mile and sank near Sheep Rock, as
the water shows that an obstruction
of some kind is in the bed of the
stream at that point. Work will be
begun as soon as practicable on an
other structure across the river
The rumor that the bridges at Nor
gan and Peterson were down proves to
be unfounded Mr.. Heber A Burton,
who is just down from that locality,
stated today that the bridges were all
right, but up beyond Morgan city the
roadway has been made almost i'm
passable, and a great amount of labor
will be necessary to make the damages
good. Travel will be delayed there
