ON resolutions and the following wa.
unanimously adopted:
eve, the representatives of th'
Democratic party CT Scott County
do not indorse the financial Legislation
of the Cleveland administration il
the coinage of silver and the issuin,
of gold bonds. We believe that tn,
Recommendation OF silver was q plo
formulated by the gold owners o
England and Europe and consumate,
in this country with the assistance O
the Republican party in 1873.
eve believe that the crime o
1873, championed by John Sherman
and his political cohorts, should no
pollute the pure fountains of Democ
racy, but should be accredited il
characters indelible to the Republi
can party to it's eternal shame.
"We indorse the action of tn
County Central Committee in calm,
an early primary and early conven
tion, believing that it will have
wholesome effect in promoting part
harmOny.
Resolved, BY the Democrats O
Scott county, in delegated conven
tion assembled, that the delegate
elected by this convention to atten
the Democratic State convention t
be held at Sedalia on the 18th @
April, be and they are hereby in
structed to vote for and use all thei
influence to elect delegates to repre-
sent the State OF Missouri in the Ma
tional Democratic Convention to
held in Chicago in July 1896, who ar
, known to be personally in favor c
the free and unlimited coinage {
both gold and silver at the ratio c
16 to l, and that the same be mad
; redemption money at the abov
named ratio and good for all debts
both public and private, regardles
! of any arbitration of the action, col
