The Platform and Resolutions.
Mr.. Lander, Chairman of the Com
mittee, read the following report:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention:
Your Committee on Platform and
Resolutions beg leave to make the fol-
lowing unanimous report:
Belt resolved by the Democracy of
Maury County, in convention assem-
bled, that whatever has been or
may have been our past differences or
personal controversies, we cannot for
get that it was the Republican party
which disfranchised our fathers and
some of us in the sixties, and has been
the unrelenting enemy Of the South
all the years since. Neither should
we forget that during all these years
the Democratic party has been the
bulwark of our liberties. Therefore,
borrowing from the great speech of
our Senior Senator in Nashville, we
say IF there are any Democrats who
want to leave the Democratic party, |
We wish to remind them that before |
they leave the house of their fathers, |
before they quit the roof that has
sheltered them in the night OF dark |
ness and the time Of storm, they |
should at least pause upon the TIRES
hold and thank the Democratic party
that they have right to vote at all"
And in consideration of these facts,
we renew our allegiance to that great
party, and pledge our support to all
is nominees.
We endorse the course of our Sena-
ors and Representatives in Congress,
md of our State Administration. We

Jarmack. BY his bright mind, loyal
leart and dauntless spirit, he has
IGNORED the State that gave him birth.
n one short term in the Senate of
he United States, composed of the
blest debaters and most profound
hinkers of the earth, he has easily
aiken his place in the front rank of
Is greatest men.
But another has been named to take
is place, and the will of the people
J supreme and should be obeyed; and
re hereby instruct the nominees of
his convention to vote for and use all I
onorable means to elect to the United
tates Senate, the Democratic nomi- ]
ee for that high Office, the Honorable
.obt. L. Taylor.
We congratulate the Democracy OF I
Iaury County that they have at last, /
nd we trust forever, divorced them a
alves from the dominance and con-
'ol of the saloon Influence in their /
olitical counsels We are proud of g
lie record of the Democratic party of ?
