Special to The Daily Leader.
Pawnee, April 25--The Democratic
county convention, which met last
week passed the following resolutions;
We, your committee, hereby recon-
mend the adoption Of the following
resolutions tot;
That we her, by confirm the princi-
pies of the Ihitago platform, and
pledge our hear y support % the uom-
inalion of Honorable William Jennings
Bryan, as Democratic c. aGidate for
president. That by his exalted states
manship and persistent patriotic et
forts for the emancipation OF the lib
erty loving people of this nation from
their present trust slavery, and their
rescue from capitalistic greed, he de-
serves the unfaltering support of the
people of this nation. That we de-
nouuce the vacilatinR policy OF Presi
dent Mckinley "of plain duty" as his
stcrotyped explanation TO Hsnna's
various trust schemes rs thlead.bare Of
further deception.
The Republican party, under the
/ Hanna-McKinley administration, in
the abandonment of bi-metallism and
disdain for an international monetary
commission, in its purchase OF a worn
out Spanish war against the Filipinos
and imperial policy inaugurated; in its
unconstitutional exactions of tariff
from our newly acquired island Of
Puerto Rico, ard in the continued
heavy drain by the revenue stamp act
| for the up-building Of the great stand
I ing army, has demonstrated that the
continued sway of power of the Re-
publican party is wholly in the inter
est OF the office-holding class, whose
chief manipulators, the Hanna-Eay
com bination, are fed from the corrup-
tion fund of the trusts, and that the
fat fried from stupendous government
contracts dangerously imperils our flu
ture. That this policy Of pelf and
/ plunder. so revolving to the decent in
stincts OF American citizenship, de-
serves utter condemnation at the
polls.
We condemn the foreign entangling
secret alliance with England that the
I Mckinley Hanna Hay manipulators
/ have made, and in their sympathy
! against the Beers constitute them
selves execrable objects TO the mould
OF the exemplary citizenship cast by
/ Washington and rounded by Lincoln.
/ Believing the time is now ripe for par
/ ty prejudice, that hereto 'ore has stim-
ulated party success, should be laid
aside, and that the common people
should insugurate into power nen OF
the stamp of Washington, Lincoln and
Bryan, whose principles are relent
lessly opposed by the Hanna Hay Nc
Kinley British-lov ug secret com bina-
tions. Upon his platform we cordially
invite the support of all the people to
the standard OF reform and Democ-
racy, thereby to safeguard the nation
and oUr homes.
We hereby cordially endorse and
approve the plan OF precinct organic
alton as originated by the national
committee, recommending that those
receiving communications from said
committee act upon the policy there
in outlined.
We point with pride to the able and
efficient service rendered by the Dem.
ocrats Ia congress in behalf of the
free homes bill, measure of such vi
tai and paramount importance to all
Oklahomans; a measure devoted TO the
up building of mans grancest institu-
tion, the home.
In consideration OF the factsetha'
Pewnee county has never had q dele.
gate TO the national convention, we
hereby cordially and unanimously en-
dorse the candioac of the brillinn
young stateman and orator, the Hon
O. ]. WrightsmaD, for delegate TO th'
national convention at Kansas City
and cheerfully recommend him 10 tn,
favorable consideration OF the El Ren'
convention. We further recommen'
that he be allowed TO select the dele
gates attending with him the said con
vention. G.. A. WATERS,
