Resolutions.
Your Committee on Resolutions
this day appointed by the Demo-
lcratic convention for the county
lof Tyler and State of West Vir-
Eginia, respectfully submit for the
lconsideration of this convention
their report as follows, to-wit:
First, Resolved, that we, as an
evidence of our faith in our Ma
tional delegates, and believing in
the wisdom, honor and integrity
of the National convention now
in session at st. Louis, do, in ad-
vance of the platform to be prom
ulgated by said convention, rat
ify and confirm the platform of
said convention to be adopted.
Second, Resolved that We rec
ognize the political affairs of this
county to be divisible into three
parts, the Federation of the
States, each State as a unit, and
local or county affairs, and that IN
addition to the principles OF our
National platform, each county
by reason of the peculiar circum-
stances surrounding the same may
proceed separately upon princi-
pies made necessary by said cir
cumstances.
Third, Resolved that we de-
nounce the illegal, corrupt and
immoral tactics resorted to by the
machine ring of the dominant
party of our county as degrading,
menacing to our government and
unworthy of any man who exer-
eises the right of suffrage.
Resolved further, that we de-
nounce such acts as well as at
tempt of such machine politicians
to dominate county officials and
attempt to subvert justice and in
denouncing such acts we believe
that we act for the entire good of
Tyler county, as continuation
thereof of such illegal, corrupt
and immoral tactics resOrted to
by the dominant party in prlmar-
les, conventions and elections
must necessarily tend to the
wrongful defeat of honest, up
right and public spirited candi-
dates of their own party and
ours, and directly result to the
injury and detriment of our cOun-
ty.
Fourth, Resolved, that we COM
mend to the consideration of the
public the acts of our County
court in restraining the Riverside
Bridge company from acting un-
der a fraudulent contract pro-
cured from the late Republican
court for the construction OF
guard rails around nine bridges
in our county, and in its exercise
of great care and judgment in
the management and control OF
our County infirmary, and the
great improvement made thereon
in the care and custody Of the in
mates thereof as well as its char
liable acts to the poor and af-
ficted of our county at other
places, and commend the acts OF
our said County court in its un-
earthing of certain improper and
fraudulent acts of late county Of
ficers. And we also comm end
! our said County court in its acts
of appointment of certain com
missioners of our county, though
said acts are demonstrated to be
non-partisan, they were all good,
competent, worthy young men,
who had not heretofore received
recognition at the hands of any
party.
Fifth, Resolved further, that
this convention endorses the acts
of the delegates this day select
ed to attend the respective con-
ventions - State, Congressional,
Judicial and Senatorial, and, be-
lieving in the fitness and integ-
rity of the various delegates SO Sc,
lected we entrust to them to deal
with the matters that are present
ed for their consideration IN SUCH
manner as to their wisdom may
appear proper.
