Committee on resolutions report
ed as follows:
"Your committee on resolutions
respectfully reports as follows:
We, the Democrats of Richland
county in convention assembled.
realiirm our allegiance to the prin-
ciples of true Democracy and point
With pride to the past record and
achievements of our party.
The Democratic party stands to-
dav as it always has, for the best
interests of the American people,
snd if the affairs of this great gov
ernment are again entrusted to this
party the liberty, progress and IN
dependendence Of the American
people will be maintained invio-
late.
Trusts and combinations are the
natural out@ rowth Of the high pro-
tective system now in vogue, lnaln-
tanned and encouraged by the Re
publican party. We believe in a
reduction of the tariff, the dlssolu-
ton of the trusts to the extent that
individual enterprises may be sflin-
ulated, and that perfect equality be
maintained between all persons,
natural and corporate.
I'VE appeal to the citizens OF this
county and state to encourage a
spirit of conservatism to the emo
that the broadest and safest ele-
ments of our party may be permit
ted to control its deliberations for
the good of our common country.
