The business of the convention
was to elect eight delegates to Duluth,
but this work had been only partl-
ally accomplished, when T. ID. Nc
CURE, having been nominated as one
of the delegates, arose to object to
the course the convention was taking
in electing delegates before resolu'
tons we're adopted on which it would
be necessary for the delegates to
stand. Mr.. Mcguire is an ardent ad'
mirer OF W. j. Bryan, and in the
spirited remarks he made in defense
of his position, showed that he was
amply able to MAINTAIN Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Bryan's ideas in any asaem'
blsge of Democrats. Mr.. MaGuire
then suggested that if no other reso-
lutions were ready, he would like to
read some he had prepared. He then
read resolutions which endorsed the
Kansas City platform, and then went
on to tell what halcyon days would
have fallen upon this counary it the
Democratic party had been in power
the past eight years. The resolu-
tons were received with cheers, but
when Mr.. Ormond opposed the reso'
lutions in reaffiming the Kansas
City platform, he also was cheered.
Mr.. Grace made an impassioned de-
Tense of the resolutions, but wanted
all reference to the money question
and Kansas City platform cut out,
and he too was cheered. The cour-
sells of Messrs Ormond, McElroy,
John Eddy and L. E. Pearce finally
prevailed, and the resolutions we're
dropped, and delegates elected as
follows:- Delegates-Ludvig Stein
bring. Jerry Heating, Jno. W. Eddy,
j W. Seybold, Thos. Smith, G. M.
McElroy, VIM. Riordan, and M.
Mahoney.
Alternates-John Rowles, John
Borofky, Chas. Sax, L. E. Pearce.
Daniel LAWYER, Thos. McCanney,
VIM Logue and John Finnegan.
Mr.. McElroy then read the reso
lutions drawn by the committee, and
these we're adopted, as follows
We, the democrats of Stevens
County in convention assembled, de-
clare our adherence to the principles
of liberty, justice and equality, for
all men as enumerated by the great
Jefferson and renew our hope and
belief in the final success of policies
which will put those principles into
effect.
We favor economy in public affairs;
not the wanton squandering of mil
lions which compeis empty treasures
and high taxation.
We favor self government for all
people. No dependencies, no fore
ing of government by central auth
ori:y on those who caunot resist.
The treatment OF Poland by Russia,
of Ireland in the past by the English
government, and of the Philippine
islands by the United States, is to be
deplored and denounced.
We favor both legislation and
action which will destroy the mono
POLLING trust. There must be no
favored few to falten off of the PEG
ple's necessities.
We favor such a modification of
the present tariff rates-made and
maintained for the benfit of special
il terests-a as will make it possible TO
extend our markets and at the same |
time give us the benefit of such COM
petition as free men have a right to {
demand. We especially demand
closer trade relations with Canada.
to the end that we may enter that I
market with our surplus products {
and at the same time get the benefit
Of lower prices on those great staples,
lumber and ooal; and we denounce
the tim,dity of republican politicians t
who refuse to respond to the demand '
