Text of Resolutions.
BE it resolved: That. before under
taking the important work confronting u.s.
we. the representatives of the democrotic
party. in national convention assembled,
record our profound grief at the great
loss sustained by the country and civiliza-
ton in the death of Grover Cleveland.
I'VE honor him as a true statesman
who kept inviolate the faith beaueathed
organization to the people.
We recall, with grateful apprecia ton.
the signal services he rendered in main
tanning jealousy the just distribution of
powers guaranteed by the Constitution
to the executive. legislative and judicial
departments Of our government: in in
sisting that no greater burdens be i'm
posed upon the people by taxation than
is necessary to administer the govern
ment economically: in striking at the root
of the growing evils of special privilege
and trust monopoly and demanding tariff
reduction: in making practical applica-
ton of the principle Of civil service re-
form under the motto, Public office is a
public trust
In Eulogistic Terms.
I'VE revere him as patriot who never
failed to denounce wrong and uphold
right wherever found whose courage
was unmistakable, whose integrity was
unauestioned, whose adherence to his
high ideals could not be shaken.
I'VE deplore his death as that of the
first citizen of the United States-the pre-
eminent embodiment of the political and
social truths, that from unselfish serv-
Ice comes the noblest power. and that
the power OF influence is vastly greater
than the might Of authority.
FINALLY. we commend to American
youths the study of this most striking ex-
ample of universal honor and reverence.
won by true character through sturdy
ADHERENCE to undying principles. and we
hereby direct the officers Of this conven-
ton to transmit by telegraph to Mrs.
Cleveland. in Princeton, n. j., this ex-
preston of our, sorrow and our pride.
Memorial in Washington.
We further request the democratic
members Of the Senate and the House of
Representatives to take steps to insure
the erection in Washington, at the earli-
est day possible, Of an adequate national
monument to commemorate the services
of Grover Cleveland.
1t is st / further resolved, That in re-
spect for the memory of this great demo-
crate statesman and patriot, this con-
vention shall Immediately adjourn until
